Black
Witchrider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thunder is born by lightning
Help me free myself and let me go
The path i walk is one you´ll never know
Black is the cage i´ve been locked in
To wallow in dirt, well it´s soothing
Indecision is all that i can see
Let me out don´t keep me in
Nothing left for us to win
The virus in me keeps feeding
Chasing a light i´m seeing
Hold me close just one more final time
I'll always feel for you keep that in mind
Throw me in don´t let me out
I´ve done you wrong without a doubt
I´m hoping
I´m choking
In Witchrider's song "Black", the lyrics depict a person who has been locked in a cage and is struggling to break free. The song paints a picture of someone who is trying to break free from their own inhibitions and uncertainty, but is also struggling with their own demons. The lyrics "a heart isn't free when it's hoping," suggest that the singer is longing for something that they feel is unattainable, making it impossible for them to be truly free. The "thunder born by lightning" suggests that the singer has been struck by something powerful and transformative, but is still unsure of how to move forward.
The lyrics "Black is the cage I've been locked in, To wallow in dirt, well it's soothing," highlights the idea of being trapped and finding comfort in darkness. The singer seems to be in a state of mind where they have accepted their fate, but deep down they crave freedom. The lines "The virus in me keeps feeding, Chasing a light I'm seeing" paint a picture of someone who is trying to heal, but can't escape the negative thoughts that are constantly eating away at them.
In the end, the singer pleads to be set free with the lyrics "Let me out, don't keep me in, Nothing left for us to win." The song has a powerful and emotional impact, exploring the themes of doubt, confinement, and hopelessness.
