Lorde - Biting Down Lyrics

It feels better biting down [x6]

Skip a hit, don't make a sound
(It feels better biting down)

Breathed so deep I thought I'd drown
(It feels better biting down)

Listen to the beats resound
(It feels better biting down)

It feels better biting down
(It feels better biting down) [x3]

Skip a hit, don't make a sound
(It feels better biting down)

Breathed so deep I thought I'd drown
(It feels better biting down)

Listen to the beats resound
It feels better biting down [x2]

The electronics of your heart
See how fast they fall apart
(It feels better biting down)

The electronics of your heart
See how fast they fall apart
(It feels better biting down) [x2]

Skip a hit, don't make a sound
(It feels better biting down)

Lorde - The Love Club Lyrics

I'm in a clique but I want out
It's not the same as when I was punched
In the old days there was enough
The card games and ease with the bitter salt of blood
I was in but I want out
My mother's love is choking me
I'm sick of words that hang above my head
What about the kid? It's time the kid got free

[Hook:]
Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you
Go get punched for the love club
For the love club.

I joined the club and it's all on
There are fights for being my best friend
And the girls get their claws out
There's something about hanging out with the wicked kids
Take the pill make it too real.
The other day I forgot my old address
I'm sitting pretty on the throne,
There's nothing more I want
Except to be alone.

[Hook:]
Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you
Go get punched for the love club
For the love club.

Your clothes are soaked and you don't know where to go
So drop your chin and take yourself back home
And roll out your maps and papers
Find out your hiding places again
The only problem that I got with the club
Is how you're severed from the people who watched you grow up
When you're a member go on your great adventure again
And we'll be waiting at the end.

[Hook:]
Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you
Go get punched for the love club
For the love club.

Lorde - Million Dollar Bills Lyrics

There's nothing I want but money and time
Million dollar bills and a tick tick tick tick
There's nothing more cruel than only nine lives
A limit in spite will do the trick trick trick trick

We can leave the house lead the party let the people know
Go drown the colors of our minds and watch the cars go

There's nothing as fun as coming untied
And running with the kids in the park park park park
There's nothing that's hurt like letting you go
It's like a bird eyes in the dark dark dark dark

We can leave the house lead the party let the people know
Go drown the colors of our minds and watch the cars go

It's not about just being out with all our people
Cause we can get in trouble just by going free throw
And now I'm letting you know and now I'm letting you know
And now I'm letting you know and now I'm letting you know

Lorde - Bravado Lyrics

All my life
I've been fighting a war
I can't talk to you or your friends
It's not only you
My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to
This will not do

Cause I was raised up
To be admired to be noticed
But when you're withdrawn it's the closest thing
To assault when all eyes are on you
This will not do

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm faking glory
Lick my lips toss my hair
And send a smile over
And the stories brand new
But I can take it from here
I'll find my own bravado

It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, whoa
And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this

It's in your blood stream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size

I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me

But I learnt not to want
The quiet of the room with no one around to find me out
I want the applause the approval the things that make me go

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, whoa
And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this

It's in your blood stream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size

I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me

But I learnt not to want
The quiet of the room with no one around to find me out
I want the applause the approval the things that make me go

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Lorde - A World Alone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That slow burn waits while it gets dark
Bruising the sun
I feel grown up with you in your car
I know it's dumb

[Verse 2]
We both got a million bad habits to kick
Not sleeping is one
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip
I'm biting my tongue
But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking

[Chorus]
Raise a glass, cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk, cause we're dancing in this world alone
World alone, we're alone

[Verse 3]
All my fake friends and all of their noise
Complain about work
They're studying business, I study the floor
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks
But people are talking, people are talking
But not you
But people are talking, people are talking

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
All the double-edged people into schemes
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
A world alone, we're all alone

[Bridge]
I know we're not everlasting
We're a trainwreck waiting to happen
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
One day we'll all get still, get still

[Chorus + Post-Chorus]

[Outro]
But people are talking, people are talking...
Let 'em talk

Lorde - White Teeth Teens Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day

I guess you're lucky that it's dark now

And if I like it then we'll stay

Impress the empress, take a shot now

[Chorus]

We got the glow in our mouths...

White teeth teens are out...

Ooh...

White teeth teens are up for it

[Post-Chorus]

I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop

I like your reckoning, but we got our methods

And there's nothing here to stop, to stop this

[Verse 2]

If you want, we'll help tonight to split its seams

Give the bruises out like gifts

You'll get the picture of your dreams

I won't be smiling but the notes from my admirers

Fill my dashboard just the same

[Chorus + Post-Chorus]

[Bridge]

I'll let you in on something big

I am not a white teeth teen

I tried to join but never did

The way they are, the way they seem is something else, it's in the blood

Their molars blinking like the lights, in the underpass where we all sit

And do nothing, and love it

[Outro](etc.)

And everything works out so good

I wear the robe like no one could

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

We got the glow in our mouths...

White teeth teens are out...

We got the glow in our mouths...

White teeth teens are out

Lorde - Still Sane Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today is my birthday, and I'm riding high
Hair is dripping, hiding that I'm terrified
But this is summer, playing dumber than in fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything I say falls right back
Into everything I'm not
In the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet

[Chorus]
Riding around on the bikes, we�re still sane
I won�t be her, tripping over onstage
Hey, it�s all cool, I still like hotels, but I think that'll change
Still like hotels, and my newfound fame
Hey, promise I can stay good
Everything feels right
Chase paper, get it
I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown
I'm little, but I�m coming for you
I'm little but I�m coming for the title
Held by everyone who�s up

[Verse 2]
All work and no play
Never made me lose it
All business all day
Keeps me up a level
All work and no play
Keeps me on the new shit, yeah

All work and no play
Let me count the bruises
All business all day
Keeps me up a level
All work and no play
Lonely on that new shit, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Only bad people live to see their likeness set in stone
Only bad people live to see their likeness set in stone
What does that make me?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Lorde - Glory and Gore Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean

[Pre-Chorus]
And the cry goes out (haa...)
They lose their minds for us
And how it plays out (haa...)
Now we're in the ring
And we're coming for blood

[Chorus]
(Oh! Oh!)
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
But secretly they're saviors
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
But victory's contagious

[Verse 2]
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Bridge]
No-one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold lie promises, we'll always win at this
I don't ever think about death
It's alright if you do, it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, "Secretly you love this
Do you even wanna go free?"
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

[Chorus]

Lorde - Team Lyrics

[Intro]
Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and she'll send the call out
Send the call out (repeat line x15, gradual fade)

[Verse 1]
Call all the ladies out, they're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell

[Chorus]
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team

[Post-Chorus]
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there

[Verse 2]
So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
Cause what this palace wants is release

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care
So there

[Chorus]

[Outro]
We're on each other's team
And you know we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know and you know and you know

Lorde - Buzzcut Season Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember when your head caught flame
It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain
Well you laughed, baby it's okay
It's buzzcut season anyway
(Well you laughed, baby it's okay)

[Chorus]
Explosions on TV, and all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool, where everything is good

[Verse 2]
We ride the bus with the knees pulled in
People should see how we're living
Shut my eyes to the song that plays
Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste

[Chorus 2]
The men up on the news, they try to tell us all that we will lose
But it's so easy in this blue, where everything is good

[Post-Chorus]
And I'll never go home again...Favorite friend(place the call, feel it start)
(and nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
We're all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along (make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you

[Bridge]
Cola with the burnt-out taste
I'm the one you tell your fears to
There'll never be enough of us

[Chorus + Post-Chorus]

Lorde - Ribs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mom and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old

[Pre-Chorus]
We can talk it so good
We can make it so divine
We can talk it good
How you wish it would be all the time

[Chorus: Verse 1](2x)

[Verse 2]
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old

[Pre-Hook]

[Chorus: Verse 2](2x)

[Bridge]
I want 'em back (I want 'em back)
The minds we had (the minds we had)
How all the thoughts (how all the thoughts)
Moved 'round our heads (moved 'round our heads)
I want 'em back (I want 'em back)
The minds we had (the minds we had)
It's not enough to feel the lack
I want 'em back, I want 'em back, I want 'em--

[Outro](2x)
You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
Laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough

Lorde - Royals Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town, no post code envy

[Pre-Chorus]
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

[Chorus]
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule...)
Let me live that fantasy

[Verse 2]
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Bridge]
(Oooh ooooh ohhh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
(Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

[Chorus]

Lorde - 400 Lux Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're never done with killing time
Can I kill it with you?
'Til the veins run red and blue
We come around here all the time
Got a lot to not do, let me kill it with you

[Pre-Chorus]
You pick me up and take me home again
Head out the window again
We're hollow like the bottles that we drain
You drape your wrists over the steering wheel
Pulses can drive from here
We might be hollow, but we're brave

[Chorus]
(And I like you)
I love these roads where the houses don't change (and I like you)
Where we can talk like there's something to say (and I like you)
I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway (and I like you)
We move in empty streets
I'd like it if you stayed

[Verse 2]
Now we're wearing long sleeves
And the heating comes on
(You buy me orange juice)
We're getting good at this
Dreams of clean teeth
I can tell that you're tired
But you keep the car on
While you're waiting out front

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Verse 1 -Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
And I like you...

Lorde - Tennis Court 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 chasing a million things I want
Cause I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from 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

[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 filling 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]

[Bridge]
It looked alright in the pictures
Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it?
I fall apart, with all my heart
And you can watch from your window
And you can watch from your window

[Chorus]

[Outro]
And talk it up like yeah
And talk it up like yeah
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah
And talk it up like yeah
And talk it up like yeah
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah
(Yeah)
