Supercut
Lorde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you
There's just a supercut
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
I'm someone you maybe might love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
So I fall
Into continents and cars
All the stages and the stars
I turn all of it
To just a supercut
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
Slow motion, I'm watching our love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
(When you call I'll forgive and not fight)
(All the moments I play in the dark)
(Wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart)
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart
(In my head, I do everything right)
(In my head, I do everything right)
Lorde’s song “Supercut” is about the end of a relationship and all the memories that go along with it. The chorus refers to the supercut of memories that we all have in our heads, those moments that we play over and over again in our minds. The lyrics describe the love and magic that was present in the relationship, as well as the pain and loss that ultimately led to its end. The singer describes wanting to talk about the relationship and work through their issues, but the other person seems hesitant, causing the singer to feel like their relationship is just a supercut, a compilation of moments that don’t add up to anything real.
The song's verses illustrate the singer's memories of the love and intimacy they shared, a wild and fluorescent relationship that she wishes could be rekindled. But as time passes and the relationship ends, even the most vivid memories become just a supercut, a highlight reel that can never truly capture the depth of their connection. It’s a bittersweet sentiment that speaks to the power of memories to sustain and haunt us long after a relationship ends.

In my head, I play a supercut of us
I imagine our past together in a continuous loop in my mind
All the magic we gave off
Every incredible moment we shared
All the love we had and lost
The love we shared but eventually lost
And in my head
Within my imagination
The visions never stop
These imageries never cease to exist in my mind
These ribbons wrap me up
I'm tied up and caught up in these thoughts of us
But when I reach for you
I try to reach out to you
There's just a supercut
All that remains is a pre-recorded memory of us
In your car, the radio up
Listening to the radio in your car
We keep trying to talk about us
We keep attempting to discuss our relationship
I'm someone you maybe might love
I'm hoping to be the person you might love
I'll be your quiet afternoon crush
I'll be the person on your mind during a calm afternoon
Be your violent overnight rush
I'll be the person you spontaneously crave at night
Make you crazy over my touch
I'll make you go wild with my touch
So I fall
I lose myself
Into continents and cars
Into different places and situations
All the stages and the stars
All the Hollywood glamour
I turn all of it
I transform these thoughts
To just a supercut
To a mere reel of memories
In my head (in my head, I do everything right)
In my imagination, everything goes perfectly
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
If you call, I'll forgive and not argue
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
Because these are the moments I replay in my mind
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
The vibrant part of us still has a place in my heart
Slow motion, I'm watching our love
I'm observing our love in slow motion
But it's just a supercut of us
It's just a fragment of what we had
Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
Because in my mind, everything turns out perfectly
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
If you call me, I won't argue with you
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart
Our memories still have a place in my heart

[Verse 1]
In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you
There's just a supercut
[Pre-Chorus]
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
I'm someone you maybe might love
I’ll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
[Chorus]
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us

@lesteryaytrippy7282
That's almost a Lana Del Rey thing, but Melodrama is so moody and introspective 😥

The truth.
@jaboijiraff2055
The outro DEMOLISHES me. "In my head, I do everything right" are probably the saddest words I've ever heard.
@louschwick7301
that outro - it's an almost visual trick
as the clarity of the sound muddies, the sharpness of the image blurs - the scene is zooming away from lorde, the image blurs, the scene loses focus, leaving lorde all alone, with no one to talk to, and it's expressing that with sound. just fantastic
@unknown-if9ed
+X : DC in the end it sounds like it changes to "in my head I do everything wrong" to me but maybe that's just my cynical self
@ivefeltworse88
I thought the outro sounded like a distorted version of “sit in Hell with you” from The Louvre.
