Harley Poe：Meaning of Ouija (Witchboard Version) Songmeaning

The song "Ouija (Witchboard Version)" by Harley Poe tells the story of a person who is reminiscing about their past and reflecting on the choices they've made. The narrator is about to perform at a house show and is surrounded by young, attractive individuals. They feel like they missed out on opportunities because they said no to certain experiences in the past. However, they acknowledge that one cannot have it all in life. As the song progresses, the narrator talks about getting high in the bathroom and how it is becoming tiresome. They also mention that excessive drinking is taking a toll on their appearance. The atmosphere shifts and the narrator suggests doing something different since they are all together. They mention the absence of their Lord (possibly referring to religious beliefs) but bring out a Ouija board to communicate with spirits. The narrator seeks guidance and asks a spirit if they are present and if they can hear them. They invite the spirit to enter their life without fear. They ask the spirit how they died and request to be possessed. Despite giving control to the spirit, the narrator warns them against lying and asks for honesty. They express their pain and ask the spirit to provide truth from the other side and reveal their name. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the theme of doing what one wants without consequences. The narrator acknowledges the potential for good or evil and questions if the spirit regrets past actions, their success, and cleverness. They offer the spirit a second chance to experience things again, this time through the narrator's body, acknowledging that it will still be considered the spirit's wrongdoing. In the end, the chorus is repeated multiple times, implying a cycle of repeating actions and desires. The final verse mirrors the beginning of the song, where the narrator prepares to play at a house show and expresses a sense of confidence in making choices that they want, regardless of judgment.
