Loreen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Read between the lies and set me free
Imagine the beginning of the end
And we don′t need to ever talk again
We don't need your way out
We don′t need your way out
We don't need your way out
Shades for the blind
Can′t hear your empty words
We don′t need no
We don't need no

Mother Mary try to keep it real
Save your prayers for peace and let us heal
Did our best but you say otherwise
We′re building up for war in paradise
Why
We don't need your way out
We don′t need your way out
We don't need your way out
We don′t need your way out
Words cut but I don't care how much it hurts

Can't hear your empty words
We don′t need no

In the song "Statements", Loreen calls out the hypocrisy and empty promises of those in power. She urges them to stop hiding behind false words and finally take action to make a positive change in the world. The lyrics "karma, karma, come and dance with me" suggest that those who do wrong will eventually face the consequences of their actions. Loreen urges listeners to read between the lies and set themselves free from the falsehoods and empty promises of those who claim to have all the answers.
The line "Mother Mary try to keep it real, save your prayers for peace and let us heal" references the religious figure of Mother Mary as a symbol of hope and comfort for those who suffer. Loreen urges people to stop relying on prayer and instead take action to create a better world for everyone. The line "we're building up for war in paradise" implies that the world has become a twisted and distorted version of what it should be, and that we need to work to bring it back to its original state of peace and harmony.
Overall, "Statements" is a call to action to stop waiting for change to come and instead take action ourselves to make a difference in the world.

Today we only have generic sounds that are made to last just some time and then completely be forgotten. So glad we still have someone creating music and who is true to herself.

BeatrixKiddo i just hope her mediocre success with statements is not another reason for her label to delay the album release
