(Superstition, fear, and jealousy)

Dead I am the one, exterminating son
Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry
While they slowly turn, conquering the worm

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool
Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur, dying as you purr

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
(And burn like an animal)

Dead I am the life, dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone, twenty-one to win
Dead I am the dog, "Hound of Hell", you cry
Devil on your back, I can never die

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
(And burn like an animal)

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula!

    Oh my god. The majority of you are idiots. There were a few good posts. Absentshadow had an interesting take. Though, while Rob Zombie is a brilliant mind, I'm not sure he takes his writing so seriously. References to freedom may be a better bet. And as far as the description of Rob Zombie's music being metal, or 'techno-metal': the genre is called industrial. White Zombie leaned more towards a metal groove, not Rob's later persona. People really shouldn't post on music sites if they know nothing about music. As far as you people and your bickering about witchcraft, first of all, this site is not about religion, so go find some wicca forum. Secondly, Rob isn't speaking of Contemporary Wiccans, or Witches. If anyone has ever seen 'Horror Hotel' (which, yes, is where the opening line "Superstition, Fear, and jealousy" came from) you would know that that film had much to do with witchcraft. Albeit a terrible take on what Witchcraft is truly about, but it dealt with it nonetheless. Since there is no one interpreted meaning to a song, other than that of the writer's, I think the song (apart from the obvious Munsters reference) is about a liberty and larger than life feel that one may recieve when you grasp something you've wanted for so long. Our values, depending on the guage can become an empowering force when achieved. And we all know Rob's love for old horror movies and almost unnoticable trinkets and quotes from them. And for those of you who say "This song has no meaning" or "Who gives a fuck what it means": Every song has a meaning. And obviously you should, otherwise why are you on a site called 'songmeanings.com'?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
