Still Sane
Lorde Lyrics
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
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
Riding around on the bikes, we're still sane
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) I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown
I'm little, but I'm coming for you (chase paper, get it)
I'm little but I'm coming for the title, held by everyone who's up
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 the new shit Set yeah
Yeah
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?
I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
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

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
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
Riding around on the bikes, weโre still sane
I wonโt be her, tripping over on stage
Hey, itโs 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) I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown
I'm little, but Iโm coming for you (chase paper, get it)
I'm little but Iโm coming for the title, held by everyone whoโs up
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 the new shit yeah
Yeah
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?
I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
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

Todays my birthday
Finally 18
Not much has changed
(yet)
Its up to me to re-sculpt myself
Its up to me to decide what i want to be
Its up to me to love who, what, or why I love
I hope i dont lose the golden
I need to keep my personality concrete and only change the unlikable.

Only bad people live to see,
Their likeness set in stone,
What does that make me?
Amazing lyric, it just feels so full of sorrow. I feel like Lorde writes about feelings and thoughts I feel like noone else really writes about.

By torpedo or Crohn's by the band "why?" Fairly certain the line is a nod to this track. That's where that specific line came from..could be a coincidence but I'm pretty sure Yoni Wolf did some work with her, so I like to think she's paying respects to another KILLER songwriter
