2022 sees BATTS moving away from space collaborations and onto collaborating with one of her songwriting idols - Sharon Van Etten with her new single ‘Blue’. This comes with the signing announcement to Australia’s indie darlings ‘Mistletone’ and the launch of her own label I Feel Fine Records’ ahead of her Sophomore release.
BATTS has been touring Australia the past few years building up a resume of local and international supports with Sharon Van Etten, Lucius, The Teskey Brothers, The Magic Numbers, Nilüfer Yanya, Leif Vollebekk, Jess Cornelius, Didirri, and many more. In 2018 BATTS embarked on her first international tour to the UK, supporting Cub Sport and also playing shows with Communion Music and Sounds Australia.
A strong obsession with space and novels help inspire the concepts and writing within BATTS music. Creating soundscapes that take you on a journey, BATTS recently collaborated with the Planetarium in Melbourne to create a visual experience to accompany her debut album ‘The Grand Tour’, which was released into the world on April 12, 2019 through THAA Records and is a concept album based around NASA’s 1977
Lie To Me
Batts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought that I fall for you
How, how did you lied to me?
You, you totally lied to me
Say all the things to keep me here
Making me believe you hold me deep
And I was only hoping that you think of
And I was always reaching that you look me
The way that I do
You, you totally lied to me
You, you totally fooled me
Oh, oh, I totally fell for you
Oh, oh, why would you hurt me?
I dreamed that you dreamed
That you said that you care for me
That was only one I wished for in the [?]
You, you totally lied to me
You, you totally fooled me
Oh, oh, I totally fell for you
Oh, oh, why would you hurt me?
Oh, oh, why would you hurt me?
In Batts's song Lie To Me, the lyrics describe a sense of betrayal and heartbreak in a relationship where one person has been dishonest. The song starts off with the singer expressing how she believed that the other person had fallen for her too, but it turns out that it was all a lie. The singer is left with the question of how the other person could have lied to her so convincingly.
The second half of the song reveals that the singer had hopes and dreams of the other person reciprocating her feelings. She had trusted the other person and was hoping that they felt the same way about her. Unfortunately, the other person's lies have only led to hurt and disappointment.
The lyrics effectively convey the pain and confusion that come with deception in a relationship. The singer's vulnerability and disappointment are palpable, making the song relatable and emotionally resonant.
