Deconstruction
Witchcraft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just another brick in this fascist regime society
I stand naked and abused
Utopian idealist breaking ways for all to see
Deconstructed patterns manifest in broken helpless souls
Inspiration draws her source from a muse, that's mute and disconnected
Satan is amused
If all the love descended from above
The altruistic ones
Would cherish in their hearts
Decide and conduct
Correct your misconduct
Be brave and be strong
Do no other wrong
Definition of your mission is rules it lasts eternally
Tell me why then I am unaffected by your gravity
Tension blows the fuse
In "Deconstruction", Witchcraft is addressing societal issues and oppression in a fascist regime. The singer is addressing a police officer and questioning their motives, expressing their feeling of being just another brick in this oppressive society. They feel vulnerable and abused, but take solace in the fact that their actions are breaking the mold of traditional thinking and ideals. The broken, helpless souls of those affected by this regime show the patterns of deconstruction.
The muse of inspiration is disconnected and mute. Witchcraft is highlighting the fact that the people who should be in a position to inspire and guide society are silent, possibly out of fear, or their voice is being oppressed. The suspicious and coalition nature of people is necessary in an oppressive regime when trust is gone. They hold on to each other for survival. The reference to Satan being amused is a nod to the devil's pleasure in watching the chaos of the oppressive regime.
The singer is questioning the definition of the mission of the oppressive regime, pointing out that it is immutable, and in contrast, they are unaffected by its gravity. They are breaking free from the rules and ideals that society places upon them. The tension between the singer and the oppressive regime blows the fuse and creates an explosion of defiance and rebellion.
