At just 19 years old, Sophie Powers is the bold voice of a new generation. She understands the unique pressures of modern girlhood and uses her experience to write unfiltered, devil-may-care anthems about the ups and downs of being yourself. One minute she’s confident and cool, with the sneering attitude of a punk rock frontwoman, and the next she’s vulnerable and raw, channeling the loneliness of contemporary life in a stirring ballad.
Greed

Watch it all burn down no SPF
And I'm gas on the fire now you get cheffed
My wheel's been turning you look stressed
Your wrongs ain't right enough
And I'm fired up
Yeah yeah you think you run this town
Look around i want it all right now
I want it, I want it all right now yeah
Get 'em and take that crown
What goes up gotta come back down
I want it, I want it all right now
I want it, I want it all right now now
Let go of this weight that's on my chest
Everything you fear is my BFF
Think I got caught love syndrome CLS
In love with the chaos you get stressed
Your wrongs ain't right enough
And I'm fired up
Yeah yeah you think you run this town (town)
I want it, I want it all right now (now)
Look around i want it all right now (yeah)
I want it, I want it all right now (yeah, oh)
Get em and take that crown (crown)
What goes up gotta come back down (down)
I want it, I want it all right now
I want it, I want it all right now
Ahhhh i blackout
I've never been the one about the backdown
I saw some lazy people at the top
And I aim high for the shot you look
They dead now they need me it freed me
I'm slowly turning to the joker
I might be the goat once it's all over
I need them to sing this for me
The unhinged king that ain't get no sleep
It's only cause I'm greedy (ahhh)
Yeah yeah you think you run this town
I want it, I want it all right now
Look around i want it all right now
I want it, I want it all right now (yeah Oh)
Yeah yeah you think you run this town (town)
I want it, I want it all right now (now)
Look around i want it all right now
I want it, I want it all right now (yeah Oh)
Get em and take that crown (crown)
What goes up gotta come back down (down)
I want it, I want it all right now (yeah)
I want it, I want it all right now right now
The lyrics of Sophie Powers's song "Greed" convey a sense of ambition, determination, and a hunger for success. The opening lines suggest a shift in power, with the singer indicating that it is now their turn to take control. The reference to "burning down" could symbolize a metaphorical destruction of the obstacles in their path. The phrase "no SPF" implies that they are not protecting themselves from the consequences of their actions - they are ready to take risks and face the consequences head on.
The lyrics also convey a feeling of restlessness and impatience. The singer wants it all, and they want it now. They desire power, success, and fame, and they are not willing to wait for it. The repetition of the line "I want it all right now" emphasizes this urgency.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of the singer surpassing those who previously held power. They believe they can take the crown and become the new leader, defying the notion of "what goes up must come back down." This portrays a confident and relentless pursuit of their goals.
Towards the end, the lyrics take a darker turn with the reference to the Joker and being "greedy." This suggests that the singer's ambition may have negative consequences, with hints of an obsession with power and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The mention of being the "goat" (Greatest of All Time) suggests a desire for legendary status, even if it comes at a cost.
