The song "Over and Over Again" by Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats tells a dark and eerie story. The lyrics depict a witch and her familiar, a rat, in a village. The rat familiar calls out to the witch, who emerges from her hiding spot. However, instead of offering help or forgiveness, she continuously screams. The villagers had previously attempted to kill the witch by burning her, but she somehow managed to survive, despite her body being burned. While resting on the funeral pyre, she continued to scream incessantly. The witch's resilience and undying nature are highlighted by this event. The witch then casts a spell on the townspeople, causing them great suffering and anguish. Their pain is visible in their eyes, and it spreads throughout the village, from the soil to the steeple of a church. The people also start screaming repeatedly, echoing the witch's own behavior. The lyrics further describe a surreal event, where blood rises up from a red lake and crashes down on everyone, causing destruction and chaos. The screaming continues as the blood flows, emphasizing the ongoing torment suffered by those affected. The phrase "And through her eyes, saw blackened skies, I don't want to know her anymore" suggests that someone is witnessing the witch's destructive power and the devastation she brings. They express a desire to distance themselves from her, potentially recognizing the darkness and danger she embodies. Overall, the song paints a vivid and macabre picture of a witch and her reign of terror. It explores themes of supernatural abilities, resilience, suffering, and the destructive impact of dark forces.
