The Witch
Unleashed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You feel her presence all too well
Sheยดll take you for a magic ride
To Hell and back with legs astride
Sheยดll take all that she needs
Leave your mind and soul to bleed
Dressed in black, a flame from Hell
Domination, lust will reign
Her lions are aflame
The nectar mixed with sweat
Dripping from her eager cleft
Shall act as pollen rain
To your slumbering brain
Dressed in black, a flame from Hell
The witch has casted her spell
The lyrics to Unleashedโs song โThe Witchโ are filled with vivid imagery that describes the witchโs dark and seductive powers. The opening lines of the song set the mood for what is to come โ the witch is dressed in black and her mere presence is ominous. She is described as a flame from Hell, embodying the idea that she is a force to be reckoned with. The following lines suggest that the witch can take you on a โmagic rideโ, but it is clear that this ride will not be a pleasant one. The witch will take all that she needs and leave your mind and soul to bleed. The use of the phrase โlegs astrideโ is particularly interesting as it conjures up images of a powerful and confident woman.
The second verse of the song takes things up a notch as the lyrics describe the domination and lust that the witch exudes. Her lions (those who follow her) are aflame, suggesting that her power is evocative and all-consuming. The lines about โnectar mixed with sweatโ and โeager cleftโ are particularly strong in their imagery โ they suggest the witchโs sexual energy and the way in which it can intoxicate and control those around her. The final lines of the song reiterate the point that the witch has cast her spell โ she has control over those she has seduced.
