Flicker
Lorde Lyrics

I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
I am an elegant and refined person, with a calm exterior that belies the turbulence within me.

And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
The physical and emotional wounds I have endured are precious to me, because they have shaped me into who I am.

My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
My life force is vibrant and valuable, like a river of precious gems flowing through my veins.

It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
My passion and intensity run deep, fueling the flames of creativity and inspiration that burn within me.

I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
I am a force to be reckoned with, but I move with a quiet grace and purpose.

And my necklace is of opal, I tie it and untie it
My adornments reflect my complexity and fluidity; I am constantly changing and evolving.

And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
Despite being surrounded by people, I often feel isolated and disconnected from them.

So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
The words of others can be painful and damaging, leaving lasting scars on my psyche.

I'm going in (ooh)
I am plunging headlong into the depths of my emotions and experiences, with a fierce determination to come out the other side stronger.

This is the start of how it all ever ends
This moment represents the beginning of a transformative journey that will shape the rest of my life.

They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I have broken free from the constraints of others' expectations and now move with a subtler but more powerful energy.

I'm speeding up and this is the
My momentum is building, and I am becoming more and more focused on my goals.

Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
The vibrant, pulsing energy within me is rising to the surface, igniting a creative spark that cannot be contained.

We rip the start, the colors disappear
As I move forward with purpose, the past fades away and I create my own new beginnings.

I never watch the stars there's so much down here
I am so immersed in the richness of the present moment that there is no need to look beyond it.

So I just try to keep up with them
Despite the chaotic pace of life, I make a concerted effort to keep moving forward and not lose sight of my goals.

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
The beat of my heart is a powerful and vibrant force, driving me forward on my journey of personal transformation.

Sparking up my heart
The energy and passion within me is constantly igniting new sparks of creativity, motivation, and purpose.

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
The pulsing, rhythmic beat of my heart is a constant reminder of the strength and vitality that lies within me.
