The Spell
Snowgoons feat. Eternia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put a spell on you (I had a dream) and now you're mine.
That this business cast a spell on everybody (you can't stop the things I do) so that we didn't know what we were listening to or doing; we just did it like zombies but huh...
Fuck a rap crew, I'm solo because I choose to
Who you? Rearrange your whole state, voodoo
Mind flew over the cuckoo when I came through
Out the womb that my momma raised me in
I grew into a fine specimen, a lady reckoning
A new flow, you messing with the femme fatale
Gettin' loud, pseudo, fell from the north coast
Where most don't go though
Quote me, I got a couple followers like Frodo
I know those that wanna get close so take a photo
I'm mobile, I move in real time while y'all slo-mo
I'm overseas getting these euros, fuck promos
You're rocking these lines like they're yours but they're not though
I got no patience for waiting, I want it pronto
You cast a spell on kids like Willy Wonka
I thought the point of this life was pointless
Till I sat down and focused
Wrote this in a dream then I woke up
I put a spell on you
The biz cast a spell it's well done who it is
It's me they caught now watch me rock with the kids
I fought my way but at the top she's a bitch
Pull magical powers that make you switch like this
With symbol of a slave on the wrist like Prince
Put money in the bank but your soul's heartless
You backstage diva but your rhymes don't fit
That shit'll get played real quick, yup
I know a few of y'all that know what I mean
Yeah, I know the rest of you is chasing the green
Yup, I know that some of y'all are caught in between
I'm rocking a dream, the truth of the scheme
But it's the speed, what, I got a sell, write a tale of my own so
Even if I don't pay rent I'm still global




Even if I don't blow I still made my mark on the game
Broke the spell while y'all cats stay local

Overall Meaning

The song, The Spell by Snowgoons feat. Eternia, is about the music business and how it casts a spell on people, making them lose their sense of identity and blindly follow the trends of the industry. Eternia starts off by saying that she put a spell on someone and now they belong to her. This can be interpreted as her gaining control over people who mindlessly follow the industry. She then talks about how the rap crew system is flawed, and she chooses to go solo. She talks about the voodoo-like powers she has over people with her music and lyrics, and how she is making her mark on the game by being true to herself and her own style.


Eternia also subtly touches upon the idea of selling one's soul to the industry, with the symbol of a slave on the wrist like Prince, and how money can make people heartless. She talks about the pressure to fit in and the struggle to maintain her authenticity while still making an impact in the industry. The last verse is about breaking the spell and taking control of the narrative, making music that is true to oneself regardless of what sells or what is popular.
