Lorde - Yellow Flicker Beat (Hunger Games)

Il testo

I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
 And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
 My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
 It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
 I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
 And my necklace is of opal, I tie it and untie it


And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
 So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
 I'm going in (ooh)


This is the start of how it all ever ends
 They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
 I'm speeding up and this is the
 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
 We rip the start, the colors disappear
 I never watch the stars there's so much down here
 So I just try to keep up with them
 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart


I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds
 And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time


And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
 People talk to me, and all their faces blur
 But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
 And I'm locking up everyone that ever laid a finger on me
 I'm going in (ooh)


This is the start of how it all ever ends
 They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
 I'm speeding up and this is the
 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
 We rip the start, the colors disappear
 I never watch the stars there's so much down here
 So I just try to keep up with them
 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart


And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
 Sparking up my heart
 And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
