[Spoken Word Intro: Lorde]
This is "Buzzcut Season"

[Verse 1]
I remember when your head caught flame
It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain
(I remember when your head caught flame)
Well you laughed, baby, it's okay
It's buzzcut season anyway
(Well you laughed, baby, it's okay)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Explosions on TV
And all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool
Where everything is good

[Verse 2]
We ride the bus with our knees pulled in
People should see how we're living
(We ride the bus with our knees pulled in)
Shut my eyes to the song that plays
Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste
(Shut my eyes to the song that plays)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The men up on the news
They try to tell us all that we will lose
But it's so easy in this blue
Where everything is good

[Chorus]
And I'll never go home again (Place the call, feel it start)
Favourite friend (And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
We're all the things that we do for fun (And I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along (Make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you

[Bridge]
Cola with the burnt-out taste
I'm the one you tell your fears to
There'll never be enough of us

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Explosions on TV
And all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool
Where everything is good

[Chorus]
And I'll never go home again (Place the call, feel it start)
Favourite friend (And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
We're all the things that we do for fun (And I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along (make-believe it's hyper Real)
But I live in a hologram with you

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (b. November 7, 1996), better known by her stage name Lorde, is a pop star hailing from New Zealand. While her earlier music focused on criticizing fame and the “pop star” culture, she grew into it more with her second album while keeping the superb writing she’s known for.

She first became a figure on the international scene with her debut EP The Love Club but didn’t start to blow up until her song “Royals” reached #1 on charts worldwide, including the US. Her use of apt metaphors and allegories at just sixteen made her a revered and intriguing media figure.

Although she was initially written off as a one-hit-wonder, her top-ten second single “Team,” curation of The Hunger Mockingjay soundtrack, and her friendships with other A-listers like Taylor Swift have kept her in the spotlight, as well as general intrigue about new music.
