It's Not Because of You
Witchcraft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It does repulse me,has me sick
I paid with my blood,my sweat and tears
To be in your school, your stubborn course
Counting numbers,without luck yeah
If I speak in a fowl tongue,you have my words
To realize and see, with an open eye
Its not because of you
That I sit this one through
Its not because of you
And I'm still in love with what I do
Saints are coming, around the bend,
Without you knowing, they eat you brain
Choices were made, ?
Miles were driven
We were lost not gone
Its not because of you
That I sit this one through
Its not because of you
And I'm still in love with what I do
Its all because of you
That I sit this one through
Its all because of you
That I'm still in love with what I do
In Witchcraft's song "It's Not Because of You," the lyrics speak about the artist's disdain for someone else's solutions and proposition. The songwriter expresses that these propositions repulse them and make them feel sick. Despite having paid with their blood, sweat, and tears to join a stubborn course, they struggle to succeed. The songwriter seems to feel as though they've been putting in the work without seeing any results, as they mention "counting numbers, without luck."
However, the lyrics suggest that realizing and seeing with an open eye gives one the magic to give, not die. The songwriter seems to have a passion for what they do, and it's not because of the person they're addressing that they're able to sit through their struggles and continue to do what they love. The lyrics seemingly address the person's audience, stating that saints are coming around the bend, perhaps suggesting that the righteous will eventually come out on the side of the songwriter. However, the lyrics remain cryptic and don't provide a clear picture of what's going on.
In summary, the lyrics of "It's Not Because of You" by Witchcraft suggest that the songwriter has been struggling to succeed despite their efforts, but they love what they do and are not giving up. They seem to be addressing someone whose solutions and proposition they find repulsive and who has not been supportive of their efforts.

Finally I found this song! It was stuck in my head for a year and I just didn't know the name... I love the singer's voice :D

Thats just the way it goes. If a band changes their sound up a little people complain that they're "selling out" and going "mainstream" even though Witchcraft is nowhere near close to that level, or they stay the same and everyone complains that their sound is getting "stale" and they're making the same album over and over. It's a double edge sword. Personally I'm glad Witchcraft went in this direction and made the music they wanted to make.

Witchcraft rules!

White Light Suicide and Flag of Fate are my favorites from the new album. Troubled Horse just released their album and it has 3 of the members from Witchcraft on it so if you guys haven't heard of them, go check them out. Their good too.

This sounds like an Indie-Rockband that actually had the balls to make proper use of distortion. (I know it isnt, but that is what it sounds like) I dig it.
