Ryan Murphy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now you're in the palm of my hand.
I'm known here as a witch
Who's evil, mad, and rich.
It seems that you have broken my law:
You've got some shoes belonging to me, myself, and moi.
And now you seek my broom,
I would presume.
Dear children,
Tell me why you want to spoil my day.
You've come so far to steal my pride away.
If only you had known the things I do
To people like you. Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh.
I'm rather fond of poking new holes.
My iron maiden's hungry for souls.
And whips I can't deny:
The classics never die.
Dear children,
Tell me why you want to spoil my day.
You've come so far to steal my pride away.
If only you had known the things I do
To people like you. Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh.
Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh.
Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh. Ooh-ooh.
Ryan Murphy's song The Witch is a chilling portrayal of a malevolent sorceress. The song opens with the witch expressing her satisfaction that her plans for the day have gone as intended, and reveling in the fact that her target is now within her grasp. She introduces herself as a witch who is evil, insane, and affluent, and proceeds to accuse the listener of breaking her law by having some shoes that belong to her. The listener is then implied to have come looking for her broom, which the witch concludes is an act of suicide.
The second verse sees the witch getting defensive, asking the listener why they would wish to spoil her day and steal her pride away. She then proceeds to describe her penchant for inflicting pain and suffering on helpless individuals by poking them with new holes and feeding them to her iron maiden, which she notes is hungry for souls. The witch also takes pleasure in whipping her victims, stating that the classics never die.
Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of a wicked sorceress who takes delight in using her powers to inflict torment on others. The witch is depicted as a sadistic figure with a lust for power and control, making this an eerily captivating song and an intriguing insight into the mind of a malevolent character.
