Witch Hunt
The Azimuth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spare me the witch hunt
Nobody's innocent and everyone's the fucking judge
Here you go again
Here you go again with your buzzwords and false alarms
White knights pulling a sword out of an empty stone
Even if it was in your line of sight
It seems all that you are concerned with
Is the perversion of a noble cause
You couldn't see the error in your ways
Until it's your turn to be caught
Subversive your strategies
Deceptive your tendencies
Caught up in the lines you've drawn
This menace you attack
Has got you by the neck
Oh
So now it's come full circle
You're caught in the lion's den
Tied up into a battle you can't win
How does it feel on the receiving end?
How does it feel on the receiving end?
The lyrics to The Azimuth's song "Witch Hunt" speak to the theme of hypocrisy and the perils of self-righteousness. The opening lines, "You've made another enemy, Spare me the witch hunt, Nobody's innocent and everyone's the fucking judge, Here you go again" convey a sense of frustration towards someone who constantly accuses and judges others without considering their own flaws. The song challenges the notion of absolute justice and suggests that those who claim to seek justice may be more interested in their own agenda rather than genuinely upholding noble causes.
The lyrics further criticize the individual's inability to recognize their own faults. The line "You could never seek justice, Even if it was in your line of sight" implies that this person is blind to their own shortcomings and narrow-minded in their approach to righteousness. The song suggests that the person's strategies and tendencies are subversive and deceptive, and they become entangled in the very lines they have drawn, making them a victim of their own witch hunt.
The chorus, "So now it's come full circle, You're caught in the lion's den, Tied up into a battle you can't win, How does it feel on the receiving end?" reflects the irony of the situation. The person who has judged and accused others now finds themselves in a similar position, facing the consequences of their actions. This serves as a reminder that judgment and condemnation can eventually turn back on the judgers themselves, highlighting the importance of empathy and self-reflection.

Even if it was right in front of you
It seems all that you are concerned with
It appears that your only concern is
Is the perversion of a noble cause
Distorting a righteous purpose
You couldn't see the error in your ways

You have a habit of being dishonest and misleading
Caught up in the lines you've drawn
Entangled in the divisions and boundaries you have created

The threat that you are fighting against
Has got you by the neck
Now has complete control over you
So now it's come full circle
The situation has now reached its climax or completion
You're caught in the lion's den
You are trapped in a dangerous and hostile environment
Tied up into a battle you can't win
Entangled in a conflict where victory is impossible
How does it feel on the receiving end?
What is your experience like when you are the one being targeted?
