| Bloc Party – Hunting for Witches Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
For me, I take most of the truth of the song to be in the line: "Desperate and misinformed Fear will keep us all in place" It's about how the Government and the media use fear-mongery to control us. Keeping us up to date with the bad news to keep us fearful and how the public react to it. The hunting for witches is merely a metaphor, for we know witches don't exist and to believe so would be irrational. It's saying that terrorism is few and far between. It's true as well, McDonalds and Tesco are certainly a greater threat to humanity. |
