Witchcraft
Ross Evana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I'd never switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
The lyrics of Ross Evana's song Witchcraft talk about the seductive power of a woman who is a witch. The singer is describing the feeling of being completely enchanted by this woman, represented by the "fingers in my hair" and the "sly come hither stare" which make him defenseless against her. He relates this to the concept of "witchcraft", a supernatural power associated with magic spells and enchantments, used to arouse the "need" in him and strip his "conscience bare".
The singer, however, is aware that this attraction is "strictly taboo", and he is conflicted about the intensity of the feeling he experiences. He questions what "good would common sense for it do", implying that reason and rationality are not enough to overcome this seduction. In fact, he sees it as something that is beyond his control, as it is an "ancient pitch" that he would never want to switch. He ultimately gives in and proceeds with what she is leading him to, acknowledging that there is no nicer witch than her.
Overall, the lyrics of Witchcraft depict the struggle between reason and passion, as the singer is unable to resist the mesmerizing powers of a supernatural force.

Those fingers in my hair
My hair is being touched by someone's fingers
That sly come hither stare
Someone is giving me a secret, seductive look
That strips my conscience bare
I'm being tempted by something that makes me feel guilty
It's witchcraft
This feeling is like magic, unexplainable
And I've got no defense for it
I'm powerless to resist this feeling
The heat is too intense for it
The feeling is too strong for me to handle
What good would common sense for it do
Rational thinking won't help me in this situation
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
This feeling is like a spell that has been cast on me
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I can't help it
When you arouse the need in me
When you create this desire within me
My heart says yes indeed in me
I feel strongly attracted to you
Proceed with what you're leading me to
I'm willing to follow where you lead me
It's such an ancient pitch
This feeling is nothing new
But one I wouldn't switch
But it's a feeling I don't want to change
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Because you are the best at making me feel this way
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
This feeling is intense and seemingly irrational
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
Even though society may not approve of this feeling
When you arouse the need in me
When you create this desire within me
My heart says yes indeed in me
I feel strongly attracted to you
Proceed with what your're leading me to
I'm willing to follow where you lead me
It's such an ancient pitch
This feeling is nothing new
But one that I'd never switch
But it's a feeling I don't want to change
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Because you are the best at making me feel this way
