The Witch
The Brains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with one look of the eye
she used her charms
her poison left me feeling high
she's gonna use me
and magic's on her mind
i feel the hex
and i'm running out of time
burn the witch
and send her back to hell
burn the witch
but watch out for her spell
burn the witch
the smoke burns in your eyes
burn the witch
and this is how she dies
she's got a broom
and she's tearing up the sky
she's got black magic
don't you look her in the eye
she's cold as stone
and she's twisting round the fire
she'll raise the dead
flying round the funeral pyre
The lyrics to The Brains' song "The Witch" depict a dangerous woman who has entranced the singer with her charms and dark magic. The singer is aware of the danger he is in, as he feels the power of the witch's hex and feels like he is running out of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the witch, who is seen riding a broom and tearing up the sky, practicing black magic and raising the dead. The singer is warning others of the witch's power, calling for her to be burnt and sent back to hell before she can cast any more spells.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, but one of the most common interpretations is that it's about the danger of falling for someone who has a dark and manipulative personality. The lyrics describe a woman who uses her charms to ensnare her victims, leaving them feeling high and under her spell. The warning to burn the witch and watch out for her spell can be seen as a cautionary tale against being too trusting or falling for someone who is not what they seem.

She gained my love and affection
with one look of the eye
Through a single glance, she won my heart

burn the witch
Eliminate the witch through extreme heat
and send her back to hell
Return her to the place from which she came, symbolically hell
but watch out for her spell
Be cautious of the witch's magic
the smoke burns in your eyes
The fumes cause irritation in the eyes
and this is how she dies
The death of the witch will occur in this manner
she's got a broom
She possesses a tool for her craft, a broom
and she's tearing up the sky
She is moving through the sky with great intensity
she's got black magic
She has access to dark, mystical powers
don't you look her in the eye
Do not make direct eye contact with the witch
she's cold as stone
She is lacking in warmth
and she's twisting round the fire
She is dancing around the flames
she'll raise the dead
She has the ability to summon the deceased
flying round the funeral pyre
She is soaring around the spot where a dead body is being burned
