Over FaceTime from the floor of her bedroom in Los Angeles, she talks with unbridled enthusiasm at a hundred miles an hour about her sonic influences, her life inspirations, her struggles, her hopes and dreams. She talks like someone who doesn't have a moment to waste not telling the world who she is and why. She talks like someone who knows what they want to say and how they're going to say it.

Hence her forthcoming EP's title 'Charlotte'. The six song EP is led by single 'Talk You Down', an addictive percussion-driven electronic pop number about her anxiety. Elsewhere she explores fear and struggle through a relationship on 'Sin x Secret', a sense of feeling lost on 'Cowboys', aching heartbreak on 'Slow Motion', the perils of love on 'You', and addiction and dependence on 'RX'.

Born and raised in LA, Lawrence spent little time in the city and more by the Malibu coast and up in the canyons. She grew up playing piano from the age of five and got into guitar around the age of 13. Charlotte has spent the past few years writing and recording while finding her musical voice, and she's just getting started.

Talk You Down
Charlotte Lawrence Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're saying that you can't speak, but you're talking
Isn't it ironic?
You're saying that there's no way I can stop it
But I've gotta drop it, yeah

In this moment
Oh, it's only in your mind
All I know is

Baby, what's yours is mine

Irrational fears are calling
Irrational tears are falling
Baby, I swear, I promise
That I will talk you down

Make-believe while you're walking
Making no sense, your talking
Baby, I swear I'm on it
That I will talk you down

You think that I might leave if you're breaking
Well, let me break it to you
You'd have to do more damage than panic
Like I would ever lose you, oh

In this moment
Oh, it's only in your mind
All I know is
Baby, what's yours is mine

Irrational fears are calling
Irrational tears are falling
Baby, I swear, I promise
That I will talk you down

Make-believe while you're walking
Making no sense, your talking
Baby, I swear I'm on it
That I will talk you down

Talk you down, talk you down
Talk you down
That I will talk you down

Talk you down (talk you down), talk you down (I'll talk you down)
Talk you down
That I will talk you down

You think that I might leave if you're breaking
Well, let me break it to you

Irrational fears are calling
Irrational tears are falling
Baby, I swear, I promise
That I will talk you down

Make-believe while you're walking
Making no sense, your talking
Baby, I swear I'm on it
That I will talk you down

Talk you down, talk you down
Talk you down (talk you down)
That I will talk you down

Talk you down, talk you down

Talk you down (talk you down)
That I will talk you down
