Discover the story of the song > BURN THE WITCH – pinkshift

The song talks about a person who is being judged by others based on their appearance, and who is seen as a monster. The protagonist criticizes those who are so quick to judge and wants them to stand up for something instead. The chorus invites people to burn the witch, which can be seen as a metaphor for the way people tend to scapegoat and demonize others without really knowing them. The refrain repeats the idea that people should stand up for something, instead of just playing a game of telephone and never really getting anywhere.
