Stitches Lyrics

Cover art for Stitches lyrics by Shawn Mendes

The lyrics and the film clip are about the open secret of Magianism. Magicians often tie knots when they are weaving a curse and this is what "stitches" gives reference to. This practice is where the name wicker comes from because the knots were commonly used to create a piece of wickerwork. There is a price in the next life for practising black magic and "gonna wind up dead" refers to both the authors death and the price the Jinn (Demon) he worshipped in the ritual will extract from him as well as the death of the subject of the curse.

Black magic can be fatal and usually manifests in the form of an accident; I would expect that the person he is singing about died in a car accident.

Don't believe me? You buy into the veil of absurdity that witchcraft hides behind and are distracted by the retarded herbal hippies with crystals right? Real magicians will almost never admit to practising witchcraft and will make a fool of you and cast doubt on its existence if you don't really believe. If you find yourself foolhardy enough to ignore everything you have heard about dabbling in the occult try this.

The next time you see someone with a wart get a viable green pea (without antifungal agent on it), hold the pea and say "please help" and touch it to the wart (getting a spec of blood or lymph [wart juice] on the pea will help). Wrap the pea in a piece of paper and later plant it in moist earth and as it germinates and grows the wart will wither and die. Cursing someone with warts is not much harder.

You will not thank me for telling you this if you try it and later die outside of Islam.
