Virginia
The Jeevas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh sweet Virginia, yeah she is a witch.
I worship and adore her, dream of her lips.
She's clutching a sacred heart;
I can hear her calling me from afar.

Oh but what can i see here?
The flames are getting higher; it's some kind of a devil
And he's smoking a briar...

She's got me like a ball and chain
Virginia, she's in my brain

So many times, you know, i tried to kiss her;
And every time it felt like she could have been my sister.
She climbs on a witch's broom
Then she's sayin, "point me at the moon".

Don't say i missed it, i can't resist it,
Don't say she's not the one
God made her my mistress

She's got me like a ball and chain
Virginia she's in my brain

Everybody wants to know that girl,
After midnight in Virginia's world

The man on the moon, the man on the moon,
He loves his children
The man on the moon, the man on the moon,
He calls to Virginia
The man on the moon, the man on the moon,
Loves Virginia...ah





Virginia is a witch! Virginia is a witch!
Her mother is a witch! Beware! Virginia is a witch!

Overall Meaning

The Jeevas's song "Virginia" is an anthem that's full of symbolism and tantalizing lyrics about a seductive woman. The song opens with the singer confessing his undying devotion to Virginia, whom he describes as a "witch." He worships her and dreams of her lips, but she has him under her spell. She's clutching a sacred heart, which probably references her mystical powers, and he can hear her calling him from afar. However, as the song progresses, the singer realizes that Virginia is not just a seductive woman but also a dark force that he can't resist. The line "The flames are getting higher; it's some kind of a devil, and he's smoking a briar" paints the image of evil rising, and the singer being unable to control himself.


The singer is in a constant state of struggle with his desire for Virginia. He describes her as being like a ball and chain, both physically and mentally. The line "So many times, you know, I tried to kiss her, and every time it felt like she could have been my sister," adds a sense of discomfort and taboo to the song. The final lines of the song see the singer admitting that Virginia has become his mistress, and he can't escape her spell. Overall, the song is a trippy and evocative tribute to the allure of forbidden desire and the dark places it can lead us.
