Lorde – Oceanic Feeling (Lyrics)
It’s a blue day
We could jump Bulli
When I hit that water
When it holds me
I think about my father
Doing the same thing
When he was a boy
It’s a blue day
We could go fishing
You’ll catch the big one
Sliding the knife under the skin
Grateful for this offering
And all the living things
Under the sun
Little brother
I think you’re an angel
See your silver chain levitate
When you’re kick-flipping
Baby boy, you’re super cool
I know you’re scared
So was I
But all will be revealed in time
Oh look, the rays are in the bay now
Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?
I can make anything real
Brain so hot, it’s a summer body
Every day is blue and never cloudy
Don’t look down
I can make anything real
In the future
If I have a daughter
Will she have my waist or my widow’s peak?
My dreamer’s disposition or my wicked streak?
Will she split a tab with her lover and laugh at the stars
Like her mother when she was a girl?
Now the cherry-black lipstick’s gathering dust in a drawer
I don’t need her anymore
Cause I got this power
Just had to breathe out
And tune in
O, was enlightenment found? No, but I’m trying
Taking it one year at a time
Can you hear the sound? It’s shimmering higher
On the beach I’m building a pyre
(use the wood brought in by the tide)
I know you’ll show me how, I’ll know when it’s time
To take off my robes and step into the choir

Lorde – The Path (Lyrics)
Born in the year of OxyContin
Raised in the tall grass
Teen millionaire having nightmares from the camera flash
Now I’m alone on a windswept island
Caught in the complex divorce of the seasons
Won’t take the call if it’s the label or the radio
Arm in a cast at the museum gala
Fork in my purse to take home to my mother
Supermodels all dancing round a pharaoh’s tomb
Now if you’re looking for a saviour, well that’s not me
You need someone to take your pain for you? Well, that’s not me
‘Cause we are all broken and sad, where are the dreams that we had, can’t find the dreams that we had
Let’s hope the sun will show us the path

LYRICS: Lorde - Secrets from a Girl (Who's Seen it All)
Dancing with my girls, only having two drinks then leaving
It’s a funny thing, thought you’d never gain self control
Guess it’s been a while since you last said sorry, crying in the dark at your
best friends’ parties
You’ve had enough, gotta turn the lights up, go home
Couldn’t wait to turn fifteen
Then you blink and it’s been ten years
Growing up a little at a time then all at once
Everybody wants the best for you
But you gotta want it for yourself
My love
You can take‘em if you want ‘em, these are just
Secrets from a girl who’s seen it all
‘Member all the hurt you would feel when you weren’t desired?
(Doing anything for more touch)
‘Member what you thought was grief before you got the call?
Baby girl, no one’s gonna feel the pain for you
You’re gonna love again, so just try staying open
And when the time comes, you’ll fall
Yeah, when the time comes, you’ll fall
Your dreams and inner visions, all your mystical ambitions
They won’t let you down
Do your best to trust all the rays of light
Everybody wants the best for you
But you gotta want it for yourself
My love
Couldn’t wait to turn fifteen, then you just go
Whooosh
Robyn:
Welcome to Sadness
The temperature is unbearable until you face it
Thank you for flying with Strange Airlines
I will be your tour guide today
Your emotional baggage can be picked up at Carousel #2
Please be careful so that it doesn’t fall onto someone you love
When we’ve reached your final destination, I will leave you to it
You’ll be fine
I’m just gonna show you in, and you can stay as long as you need to get familiar with the feeling
And then when you’re ready, I’ll be outside, and we can go look at the sunrise by euphoria mixed with existential vertigo?

Lorde – Leader of a New Regime (Lyrics)
Wearing SPF 3000 for the ultraviolet rays
Made it to the island on the last of the outbound planes
Got a trunkful of Simone and Céline and of course my magazines
I’m gonna live out my days
Won’t somebody, anybody
be the leader of a new regime?
Free the keepers of the burnt out scene
Another day
Lust and paranoia reign supreme
We need the leader of a new regime

Lorde – Fallen Fruit (Lyrics)
To the ones who came before us—
All the golden ones who were lifted on a wing
We had no idea the dreams we had were far too big
Far too big
And we will walk together
Psychedelic garlands in our hair
Through the halls of splendour where the apple trees all grew
You’ll leave us dancing on the fallen fruit
From the Nissan to the Phantom to the plane
We’ll disappear in the cover of the rain
Took the great minds and the vapers
And a pocketful of seed
It’s time for us to leave
And we will walk together
Psychedelic garlands in our hair
But how can I love what I know I am gonna lose?
Don’t make me choose
All proceeds from TE AO MĀRAMA will go to two amazing NZ-based charities— Forest and Bird and Te Hua Kawariki Charitable Trust.

Kei ngā kaipara i te ara
To the ones who paved the way
Te hunga o te whenua taurikura
Who come from the land of prosperity
Tē aro i kaha rawa te moemoeā
We had no idea the dreams we had were far too big
I kaha rawa
Far too big
Ka hīkoi tahi tātou
We will walk together
Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane
Garlands of flowers in our hair
I te taiao ahurei, i tipu ai te rākau miro
In the realm of splendour, where the miro trees grow
Mahue mai ana ko ngā hua pirau
Where fallen fruit is deserted
Auē!
Alas
Mai i te papa ki te rangi rere ai
From land to sky we shall fly
Honea ana nā te makerewhatu
We’ll disappear in the cover of the rain
Ihumanea mai, pongipongi mai
The clever, and the dull
Kei te tūmanako rā
And the desire
Ka tanu ki wāhi kē
Is planted in another place
Takatakahia, takatakahia
March on, march on
Te ara i takoto i te rau tangata
Along the path that was paved by the many
Ki ōku taumata okiokinga
To my esteemed ones
Nau mai, nau ake
Let’s go together
Takahia te ara
Follow the path
Whano ki tua
Forward and beyond
Takatakahia, takatakahia
Takatakahia rā
March on and on
Ka hīkoi tahi tātou
We will walk together
Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane
Garlands of flowers in our hair
Ka pēhea te aroha i te mea ka ngaro?
But how can I love what I know I am gonna lose?

I whānau mai au i te tau nihoroa
I was born in a time of scarcity
I te kāinga
At home
Moepapa ana, i te kohiko o te kāmera
Nightmares caused by the flash of cameras
Noho tahanga ana i te motu
I sit in solitude on an island
E karawhiu mai ana a Tāwhiri
Tāwhiri, the god of the elements, is raging
Hei aha māku ngā whakapōrearea
But I won't be bothered by any distractions
Ka tūkinotia ngā kīngi o Īhipa
The kings of Egypt are being desecrated
I te whare taonga o Te Āporo Nui
In the chamber of treasures in New York City
Kei hea rā te tikanga, e hoa mā?
Have we lost our way, my friends?
Ehara au i te kaiwhakaora, tino kore nei
I am not your saviour
Kia noho au hei whakaāio whenua, tino kore nei
Nor am I the pacificator
E noho matakerekere ana
I ahatia ō tātou moemoeā?
We are caught in a daze
What’s happened to our dreams?
Whitikina te ara tika (ara, ara, ara)
May the sun shine upon the right path
Kaiwhakaora
The saviour
Whitikina te ara tika
May the sun shine upon the right path

E ngau mai ana te hōtoke
The winter chill bites me
Waiho mai ahau kia noho
Let me be
Haere, hoatu koutou
Go on ahead, without me
Nau mai te waru whakahihiko
I welcome the electric vibe summer brings
Me puta rā? Ehara
Shall I go out? Hell yeah
Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
My skin is glowing
Noho ana i te rēhia
In the pursuit of pleasure
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau
With my lover at my side
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā
Let’s go, one and all
Ki te ina i ngā hīhī o te rā
To bathe in the sun’s rays
Taku rite, ko Hinemoana
I’m like Hinemoana, the Ocean Maiden
E puta i te pō ki te ao mārama (rama, rama, rama)
Let’s escape the darkness and enter the world of light
Titiro ki mua, hoake tāua
Let’s look and move forward
Wai uri, wai pounamu
Aquamarine coloured waters shimmer
Kani ana ngā mōrehu
As the survivors dance
Whiua aku māharahara ki waho rā
I throw away all of my troubles
Hinengaro wātea
My mind is free
Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
My skin is glowing
Noho ana i te rēhia
In the pursuit of pleasure
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau
With my lover at my side
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā
Let’s go, one and all
Ki te ina i ngā hīhī o te rā
To bathe in the sun’s rays
Taku rite, ko Hinemoana
I’m like Hinemoana, the Ocean Maiden
E puta i te pō ki te ao mārama (rama, rama, rama)
Let’s escape the darkness and enter the world of light
Piri mai Hine-raumati
Stay close Hine-raumati, the Summer Maiden
Taukamo kia puta rā koe ki te ao mārama, rama, mārama
Blink and enter the world of light

He rā paki i Te Pōporo
It’s a fine day at Bulli Point
Pōhutu i te wai pūāhuru
I dive into the water that embraces me
Ka hoki ngā mahara ki te ohinga o taku pāpā (o taku pāpā)
I think about my father when he was a child
He rā paki
It’s a fine day
Kia hīia ake te ika nui
Let’s catch the big one
Ka haea te kiri
Sliding the knife under the skin
Te oha ka mihia
Grateful for this offering
Katoa mai i tai, mai i uta (mai i uta)
And all the living things
Under the sun from land to sea
Ahureinga o te aroha
My love for you is endless
Tā te tamariki mahi, he wāwāhi tahā
Kids will be kids
E te tau, ka tau kē!
Baby boy, you’re super cool
He aha rā kei tua?
What does the future hold?
Ā tōna wā ka mōhio (mōhio)
Time will tell
Tai kato, kao mai ana te whai
The rays are gathering in the bay now
Whakarongo rā ki ngā manu a Rehua
Listen to the cicadas, the children of Rehua
Ngā ngaru o te moana
And the waves of the ocean
Kua tau nei a Hine-raumati
Hine-raumati, the Summer Maiden is here
Kua hora ko te paki o Hewa, o Rūhī ki te ao mārama
And there isn’t a cloud in the sky
E ngā uri o anamata
To my future descendants
Ka rite rā koe ki a wai rā?
Who will you resemble?
Ki ahau e noho nei, e pohewa ana?
Will you be like me, a daydreamer?
Ka noho atu ki tō ipo, kataina ai ngā whetū?
Will you spend time laughing at the stars with your lover?
Anō te whaea i te ohinga (i te ohinga)
Just like your mother when she was a girl
Whitikina koe e te rā, ko tō ātārangi ka mahue ki muri
May the sun shine upon you and cast your shadows behind you
He tānga manawa
Pause and breathe
Mauri ora (ora, ora, ora)
Live well
Kia hiwa (hiwa, hiwa, hiwa)
And tune in
I kitea rānei te māramatanga e āta whāia ana?
Did you find the enlightenment you seek?
Ka aro koe ki ngā tohu o te taiao
Heed the signs of the environment
Ki te ākau he ahikā
On the beach you’ll find your fort
Nā te tāwhaowhao ka mura
The firewood will be lit
Me āta kī mai kua eke rā te wā
You’ll let me know when the time is right
Nau mai rā, e Hine-i-te-awatea
Welcome, Hine-i-te-awatea, the Light Maiden
All proceeds from TE AO MĀRAMA will go to two amazing NZ-based charities— Forest and Bird and Te Hua Kawariki Charitable Trust.

He oha nā Hiwa ka takoto i te mataaho
Hiwa, the wishing star’s gift lies at my window sill
Mō te tūpono i hē te ara i whāia
In case I chose the wrong path
E arohaina ana te ao e noho nei au
I love the life I’m living
Te kurī taringa pīkari, kei te rapu tonu i te mea ngaro
There’s my attentive dog but still I search for what is missing
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
I’ve been on this path for some time
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
I’ve yet to decide where to from here
Ko ngā hine rerehua, ka rerehu noa atu
The beautiful girls, they will fade
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
And the world will continue to turn
E aua!
I don't know
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Takoto kau i tō moenga, he whakakai i te taringa
I lay naked in your bed, wearing only earrings
Puta ana i te pō, kanikani tahi ai
We’d go out dancing at night
Ka mahuta te rā, kua tata mai te ahungarua
The sun will rise and we’ll grow older
Ko koe tonu tērā taku whakawairangi
You’re still the one I’m crazy for
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
I’ve been on this path for some time
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
I’ve yet to decide where to from here
He wā tōna ka rata koe ki puoro kē atu
There will come a time when your taste in music will change
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
But the world will continue to turn
E aua!
I don't know
Kohore
Blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Kia pai mai rā
Oh, make it good
Kia pai mai rā
Oh, make it good
Taiāwhio ana i te ao hurihuri mō āke tonu e
Circling round and round forever
Atu i konei, he aha te aha
From here on out, wherever that leads to
Noho atu ki te hunga nā rātou koe i poipoi
Spend time with the people who nurtured you
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
The word will continue to turn
E aua!
I don’t know
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed

Dominoes (Lyrics)
I heard that you were doing yoga
With Uma Thurman’s mother
Just outside of Woodstock
Now you’re watering all the flowers
You planted with your new girlfriend
Outside on the rooftop
Just another phase you’re rushing on through
Go all New Age, outrunning your blues
Fifty gleaming chances in a row
I watch you flick them down like dominoes
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again
I know
Know a girl who knows
Another girl who knows the woman that you hurt
It’s strange to see you smoking marijuana
You used to do the most cocaine
Of anyone I’d ever met
Just another phase you’re shooting on through
The whole world changes right around you
Fifty gleaming chances in a row
I watch you flick them down like dominoes
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again
(Don’t get up!)
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again

California (Lyrics)
Once upon a time in Hollywood when Carole called my name
I stood up, the room exploded and I knew that’s it, I’ll never be the same
That’s when a door swung open and a voice said, “We’re glad you came”
Now I’ve spent thousands on you darling, all the hotels and the jets
And I’d pay it all again to have your golden body back in my bed
But I don’t miss the poison arrows aimed directly at my head
Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models, bye to the clouds in the skies that all hold no rain—
Don’t want that California love
Once upon a time the Canyon Store was where my world began
All that mystery and beauty gleaned from desert flowers and gifted children
But it got hard to grow up with your cool hand around my neck
Now in my hometown, we’re sunbathing
My girlfriends, and my baby
But every time I smell tequila, the garden grows up in my mind again
Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models, bye to the kids in the lines for the new Supreme—
Don’t want that California love
It’s just a dream
It’s just a dream
It’s all just a dream
I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up

Big Star (Lyrics)
Everyone knows that you’re too good for me, don’t they?
I’m a cheater, I lie and I’m shy but you like to say hello to total strangers
Shivering pines and walls of colour
I can’t believe I used to stay inside
Every perfect summer’s got to say goodnight, now I watch you run through the amber light
I used to love the party, now I’m not alright drinking in the dark, take me home tonight
Baby, you’re a big star
You’re a big star
Want to take your picture
’Til I die
I toss up if it’s worth it now, every time I get on a plane
I’ve got so much to tell you and not enough time to do it in
Every perfect summer’s gotta take its flight, I’ll still watch you run through the winter light
I used to love the party now I’m not alright,
Hope the honeybees make it home tonight

The Path (Lyrics)
Born in the year of OxyContin
Raised in the tall grass
Teen millionaire having nightmares from the camera flash
Now I’m alone on a windswept island
Caught in the complex divorce of the seasons
Won’t take the call if it’s the label or the radio
Arm in a cast at the museum gala
Fork in my purse to take home to my mother
Supermodels all dancing round a pharaoh’s tomb
Now if you’re looking for a saviour, well that’s not me
You need someone to take your pain for you? Well, that’s not me
‘Cause we are all broken and sad, where are the dreams that we had, can’t find the dreams that we had
Let’s hope the sun will show us the path

The Man With The Axe (Lyrics)
If I had to break it down, I’d say it’s the way you love to dance—
Moving the furniture when my back is turned
A flick of the lights and the world falls away
And your office job, and your silver hair
But our shapes in the dark are the reason I’ve stayed for all these years
I thought I was a genius
But now I’m 22, and it’s starting to feel like all I know how to do is put on a suit and take it away
With my fistful of tunes that it’s painful to play
Fingernail worlds, like favourite seashells
They fill up my nights and then they float away
I’ve got hundreds of gowns, I’ve got paintings in frames And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
Dutifully falling apart for the princess of Norway
But you with your doll’s lashes, your infinite T-shirts
I should’ve known when your favourite record was the same as my father’s you’d take me down
I guess I’ll always be this way, swallowed up by the words and halfway to space
But there by the fire, you offered your hand
And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan
You felled me clean as a pine
The man with the axe
And the light in his eyes

Dominoes (Lyrics)
I heard that you were doing yoga
With Uma Thurman’s mother
Just outside of Woodstock
Now you’re watering all the flowers
You planted with your new girlfriend
Outside on the rooftop
Just another phase you’re rushing on through
Go all New Age, outrunning your blues
Fifty gleaming chances in a row
I watch you flick them down like dominoes
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again
I know
Know a girl who knows
Another girl who knows the woman that you hurt
It’s strange to see you smoking marijuana
You used to do the most cocaine
Of anyone I’d ever met
Just another phase you’re shooting on through
The whole world changes right around you
Fifty gleaming chances in a row
I watch you flick them down like dominoes
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again
(Don’t get up!)
Must feel good being Mr. Start Again

Fallen Fruit (Lyrics)
To the ones who came before us—
All the golden ones who were lifted on a wing
We had no idea the dreams we had were far too big
Far too big
And we will walk together
Psychedelic garlands in our hair
Through the halls of splendour where the apple trees all grew
You’ll leave us dancing on the fallen fruit
From the Nissan to the Phantom to the plane
We’ll disappear in the cover of the rain
Took the great minds and the vapers
And a pocketful of seed
It’s time for us to leave
And we will walk together
Psychedelic garlands in our hair
But how can I love what I know I am gonna lose?
Don’t make me choose

Lorde – Mood Ring (Lyrics)
I’m tryna blow bubbles but inside
Can’t seem to fix my mood
Today it’s as dark as my roots
If I ever let them grow out
Now all of my oceans have riptides
Can’t seem to find what’s wrong
The whole world is letting me down
Don’t you think the early 2000s seem so far away?
Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Transcendental in your meditations
Love and light
You can burn sage, and I’ll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows
Just right
I can’t feel a thing
I keep looking at my mood ring
Tell me how I’m feeling
Floating away, floating away
I’m tryna get well from the inside
Plants and celebrity news
All the vitamins I consume
Let’s fly somewhere eastern, they’ll have what I need
Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Pluto in Scorpio generation
Love and light
You can burn sage, and I’ll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows
Just right
I can’t feel a thing
I keep looking at my mood ring
Tell me how I’m feeling
Floating away, floating away
All the sad girls sing
We’ll keep dancing til the mood rings
Tell us how we’re feeling
Floating away, floating away
Take me to some kinda place
Anywhere
Watch the sun set, look back on my life
I just wanna know, will it be alright?

STONED AT THE NAIL SALON (LYRICS )
Got a wishbone drying on the windowsill in my kitchen
Just in case I wake up and realise I’ve chosen wrong
I love this life that I have
The vine hanging over the door
And the dog who comes when I call
But I wonder sometimes what I’m missing
My hot blood’s been burning for so many summers now
It’s time to cool it down
Wherever that leads
‘Cause all the beautiful girls, they will fade like the roses
And all the times they will change, it’ll all come around
I don’t know
Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon
Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon again
Got a memory of waiting in your bed wearing only my earrings
We’d go dancing all over the land mines under our town
But the sun has to rise
When it does, we’ll divide up the papers
Two former hell-raisers
I’m still crazy for you, babe
My hot blood’s been burning for so many summers now
It’s time to cool it down
Wherever that leads
‘Cause all the music you loved at sixteen, you’ll grow out of
And all the times they will change, it’ll all come around
I don’t know
Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon
Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon again
Oh, make it good
Oh, make it good
I’d ride and I’d ride on the carousel round and round forever if I could
But it’s time to cool it down
Whatever that means
Spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you
Cause all the times they will change, it’ll all come around
I don’t know
Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon
Maybe I’m just stoned at the nail salon again

Lorde - Solar Power (Lyrics)
I hate the winter
Can’t stand the cold
I tend to cancel all the plans (so sorry, I can’t make it)
But when the heat comes
Something takes a hold
Can I kick it? Yeah, I can
My cheeks in high colour, overripe peaches
No shirt, no shoes, only my features
My boy behind me, he’s taking pictures
Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets
I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus
Forget all of the tears that you’ve cried, it’s over (over, over, over)
It’s a new state of mind — are you coming, my baby?
Acid green, aquamarine
The girls are dancing in the sand
And I throw my cellular device in the water
Can you reach me? No, you can’t
Turn it on in a new kind of bright, it’s solar (solar, solar, solar)
Come on and let the bliss begin
Blink three times when you feel it kickin’ in
That solar power

Lyrics:
[Intro: Lorde]
In my
Supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of, supercut of, supercut of us
[Verse 1: Lorde]
In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head, the visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you, there's just a supercut
[Chorus: Lorde]
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the supercut of us
We keep tryna talk about us
Slow motion, I'm watchin' our love
In your car, the supercut of, supercut of
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
We is the villains, and there ain't no chillin'
Get body bags and the toe tags, yeah
Scoundrels in housin', we tore through your town
And we reload it and now we back, man
Forgiato rollin' on a '96 Impala
With a pretty thing, show me where I'm slayin'
I ain't playin' with you lames
700 horse in the Hellcat
Take ya bitch, where ya at?
[Verse 3: El-P]
Dirty, all-black Jeep, 2018
With the clean rhyme rappers on deck, check
Came with the bad bars, bully with the big box
Shush when the runners on set
G-G-Give it up, you don't got a bit of luck left
Nah, not even a itty bit of fresh (Good lord)
Fall on your sword for the crime abhorrent
That's your reward for the mindless whorin'
[Verse 4: Killer Mike]
This for everybody that hated
Michael and Jamie, we made it
Every debt due, we paid it
My cadence is heinous
You keep tryna play us, and you gon' be famous
And just like the top on my '75 drop
I'm just hittin' a button and you gon' be brainless
And that's from the back of a 'lac where I'm smokin' the sack
Wit' my girl, watchin' seasons of Shameless
[Verse 5: El-P]
There's no manual, Run The Jewels publish shit annual
Every minute I'm in it, I'm runnin' a clinic
Wild animal, livin' like a Fine Young Cannibal
Citizen of cynics, admit it, the kid get it
Earth's a hot block, the pot get chop chopped
You walk and watch blocks my heart should pop off
The hot rocks shooters will knock your whole op off
That's why I don't got tocks on the clock to rock soft
[Verse 6: Lorde]
So I fall into continents and cars
All the stages and the stars
I turn all of it to just a su-
[Chorus: Lorde]
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of, supercut of, super, super

[Verse 1: Lorde]
A couple rebel top gun pilots
Flyin' with nowhere to be, oh
Don't know you super well
But I think that you might be the same as me
Behave abnormally
[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
Let's let things come out of the woodwork
I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies
Yeah, awesome right?
So let's let things come out of the woodwork
I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lines
Seeing me rollin', showin' someone else love
Dancin' with our shoes off
Know I think you're awesome, right?
[Chorus: Lorde]
Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
[Verse 2: Khalid]
I wanna feel the light, pushin' our limits
Unbuckled for the ride, mhmm
We're way too far from home
Let's be honest with ourselves
We're way too high to drive
So let's take on the night
If the light is in the air
Open, finally, we're goin' and we're free
[Chorus: Khalid & Lorde]
Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
[Verse 3: SZA]
I checked your girl at the door
I sent your friend to the store
It's only me and you, finally us two
And I don't regret drinkin' this liquor, makin' you listen
Yeah, I know you don't know me well
My girl's at the door
And I left my pretense at home
And it ain't no goin' back (goin' back)
[Chorus: SZA & Lorde]
Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
[Verse 4: Post Malone]
Walk, never fall, but we still run
So pour up, pour up another one
I know, I know we on to somethin'
We got, we got a loaded gun, yeah
Go and shoot me the look in your eyes
And you're here, I'm yours, you're mine
Find each other when we're losin' our minds
Then we take it all off
You're a runaway train, yeah
And you got me so faded
And I don't wanna chase it, no
You know I think you're awesome, right?
[Chorus: All]
Our rules, our dreams, we're blind
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite, yeah, yeah
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Blowin' shit up

The music on Lorde's 'Melodrama' reflects the wealth of emotions the New Zealand native has experienced of late, and they’re rendered with the kind of poise we’ve come to expect from the pop superstar. Her voice, the melodies, the arrangements she’s chosen to help landscape her feelings - this critically-acclaimed second album is particularly fetching because the 20-year-old singer trusts her idiosyncrasies to fuel her eloquence. “Let’s let things come out of the woodwork,” she coos on “Homemade Dynamite.” That’s what makes the six performances of ‘Vevo X Lorde’ so powerful as well. All her best ideas naturally seep to the surface. Filmed at Electric Lady Sound Studios in New York’s West Village, the mid-August session found Lorde moving through key songs from ‘Melodrama,’ providing each with the proper temperament for the occasion. The set list features “The Louvre,” “Sober,” “Writer In The Dark,” “Supercut,” “Homemade Dynamite,” and “Hard Feelings”/ “Loveless” – she chose to spotlight some of the album’s most vivid moments. Whether backed by a small ensemble, playing the piano alone, or singing a cappella with a squad of vocalists and a beatbox, she brings invention and intensity to the performances. The soft addition of strings and brass adds to the show’s intimacy, and the drama that she’s built a rep on is central to every moment. Jack Antonoff of Bleachers, who produced and co-wrote parts of ‘Melodrama,’ arrives on “Writer In The Dark” to support his pal as well.

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite, yeah, yeah
Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite
Blowin' shit up
[Outro: Lorde]
Now you know it's really gonna blow

The music on Lorde's 'Melodrama' reflects the wealth of emotions the New Zealand native has experienced of late, and they’re rendered with the kind of poise we’ve come to expect from the pop superstar. Her voice, the melodies, the arrangements she’s chosen to help landscape her feelings - this critically-acclaimed second album is particularly fetching because the 20-year-old singer trusts her idiosyncrasies to fuel her eloquence. “Let’s let things come out of the woodwork,” she coos on “Homemade Dynamite.” That’s what makes the six performances of ‘Vevo X Lorde’ so powerful as well. All her best ideas naturally seep to the surface. Filmed at Electric Lady Sound Studios in New York’s West Village, the mid-August session found Lorde moving through key songs from ‘Melodrama,’ providing each with the proper temperament for the occasion. The set list features “The Louvre,” “Sober,” “Writer In The Dark,” “Supercut,” “Homemade Dynamite,” and “Hard Feelings”/ “Loveless” – she chose to spotlight some of the album’s most vivid moments. Whether backed by a small ensemble, playing the piano alone, or singing a cappella with a squad of vocalists and a beatbox, she brings invention and intensity to the performances. The soft addition of strings and brass adds to the show’s intimacy, and the drama that she’s built a rep on is central to every moment. Jack Antonoff of Bleachers, who produced and co-wrote parts of ‘Melodrama,’ arrives on “Writer In The Dark” to support his pal as well.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Night, midnight, lose my mind
(When you get to my high, when you get to my)
Night, midnight
[Verse 1]
Oh, God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs
It's all gone
Played it so nonchalant
It's time we danced with the truth
Move alone with the truth
Ooh (hey)
We're sleeping through all the days
I'm acting like I don't see
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me
[Pre-Chorus]
But my hips have missed your hips
So, let's get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)
[Chorus]
We're King and Queen of the weekend
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
[Verse 2]
Oh, God, I'm closing my teeth
Around this liquor-wet lime
Midnight, lose my mind
I know you're feeling it too
Can we keep up with the ruse?
Ah ah (hey)
B-bodies all through my house
I know this story by heart:
Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive
When it get dark
[Pre-Chorus]
But my hips have missed your hips
So, let's get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)
[Chorus]
We're King and Queen of the Weekend
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
[Bridge]
Midnight, we're fading
'Til daylight, we're jaded
We know that it's over
In the morning, you'll be dancing with all the heartache
And the treason, the fantasies of leaving
But we know that, when it's over
In the morning, you'll be dancing with us
(Midnight, lose my mind, midnight, lose my mind)
Oh, dancing with us
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Oh, you'll be dancing with us
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
Dancing with us, us
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Us
[Outro]
When you get to my high (midnight, lose my mind)
When you get to my (midnight, lose my mind)

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Break the news—you're walking out
To be a good man for someone else
Sorry I was never good like you
Stood on my chest and kept me down
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
Did my best to exist just for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[Chorus]
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[Verse 2]
I still feel you, now and then
Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
When you see me, will you say I've changed?
I ride the subway, read the signs
I let the seasons change my mind
I love it here since I’ve stopped needing you
[Pre-Chorus]
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[Chorus]
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard
[Verse 2]
I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush
Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
I overthink your punctuation use
Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do
[Pre-Chorus]
A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame
All that you’re doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
[Chorus]
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
[Verse 3]
Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships
To sit in hell with you
But we’re the greatest
They’ll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre
Okay I know that you are not my type
(still I fall)
I’m just the sucker who let you fill her mind
(but what about love?)
Nothing wrong with it
Supernatural
Just move in close to me, closer, you’ll feel it coasting
[Pre-Chorus]
A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame
All that you’re doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
[Chorus]
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom
And make 'em all dance to it

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you
There's just a supercut
[Pre-Chorus]
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
I'm someone you maybe might love
I’ll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
[Chorus]
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
[Verse 2]
So I fall
Into continents and cars
All the stages and the stars
I turn all of it
To just a supercut
[Refrain]
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
Slow motion, I'm watching our love
I’ll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
[Chorus]
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
[Refrain]
In my head, I do everything right
When you call, I'll forgive and not fight
Are the moments I play in the dark
And fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
In my head, I do everything right
In my head, I do everything right

Lyrics:
Please could you be tender
And I will sit close to you
Let’s give it a minute before we admit that we’re through
Guess this is the winter
Our bodies are young and blue
I’m at Jungle City, it’s late and this song is for you
Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us
Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust
Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost
Well I guess I should go
Yeah I guess I should go
Hard feelings—
These are what they call hard feelings of love
When the sweet words and fevers all leave us right here in the cold
Alone with the hard feelings of love
God I wish I believed ya when you told me this was my home
I light all the candles
Cut flowers for all my rooms
I care for myself the way I used to care about you
These days, we kiss and we keep busy
The waves come after midnight
I call from underwater
Why even try to get right?
When you’ve outgrown a lover
The whole world knows but you
It’s time to let go of this endless summer afternoon
Hard feelings—
These are what they call hard feelings of love
When the sweet words and fevers all leave us right here in the cold
Alone with the hard feelings of love
God I wish I believed ya when you told me this was my home
Three years, loved you every single day, made me weak, it was real for me, yup, real for me
Now I'll fake it every single day 'til I don’t need fantasy, 'til I feel you leave
But I still remember everything, how we’d drift buying groceries, how you’d dance for me
I’ll start letting go of little things 'til I’m so far away from you, far away from you, yeah
Loveless
“What is this tape?”
“This is my favorite tape”
Bet you wanna rip my heart out
Bet you wanna skip my calls now
Well guess what? I like that
‘Cause I’m gonna mess your life up
Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut
Look out, lovers
We’re L.O.V.E.L.E.S.S
Generation
L.O.V.E.L.E.S.S

All fuckin' with our lover’s heads

Lyrics:
Every night,
I live and die
Feel the party to my bones
Watch the wasters blow the speakers,
Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light
It’s just another graceless night
I hate the headlines and the weather,
I’m nineteen and I’m on fire
But when we’re dancing I'm alright
It’s just another graceless night
Are you lost enough?
Have another drink, get lost in us
This is how we get notorious
Cause I don’t know,
If they keep telling me where to go
I’ll blow my brains out to the radio
All of the things we’re taking
'cause we are young and we’re ashamed
Send us to perfect places
All of our heroes fading
Now I can’t stand to be alone
Let's go to perfect places
Every night, I live and die
Meet somebody, take 'em home
Let’s kiss and then take off our clothes
It’s just another graceless night
All the nights spent off our faces
Tryna find these perfect places
What the fuck are perfect places anyway?

Lyrics:
[Intro]
One, two
[Verse 1]
Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi
He don't wanna know me
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Says it was poison
So I guess I'll go home into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please but she's a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance
We slow dance in the living room, but all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone, stroking her cheek
[Chorus]
They say, "You're a little much for me, you're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Verse 2]
The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore
And then they are bored of me
I know that it's exciting running through the night
But every perfect summer's eating me alive until you're gone
Better on my own
[Chorus]
They say, "You're a little much for me, you're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Outro]
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I do my makeup in somebody else's car
We order different drinks at the same bars
I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar
[Refrain]
Well those great whites, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you wherever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Chorus]
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you
[Refrain]
Well those rumors, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you wherever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Chorus]
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Yes, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Outro]
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it"

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Don't you think that it's boring, how people talk?
Making smart with their words again, well, I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasin' a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is, full of it
Getting pumped up on the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form, showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's fillin' up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I fuck with the fun again when I'm known?
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne
But I know it's not forever (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
[Bridge]
It looked all right in the pictures (Yeah)
Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it? (Yeah)
I'll fall apart, with all my heart (Yeah)
And you can watch from your window (Yeah)
And you can watch from your window
[Chorus]
Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
[Outro]
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
And talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like "yeah" (Yeah)
