[Verse 1]
I'm tryna blow bubbles, but inside
Can't seem to fix my mood
Today, it's as dark as my roots
If I, if I ever let them grow out (Ah-ah)
Now all of my oceans have riptides
Can't seem to find what's wrong
The whole world is letting me down
Don't you think the early 2000s seem so far away? (Ay-ay-ay-ay)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Transcendental in your meditations (Love and light)
You can burn sage and I'll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows (Blows just right)

[Chorus]
I can't feel a thing
I keep looking at my mood ring
Tell me how I'm feeling
Floating away, floating away

[Verse 2]
I'm tryna get well from the inside
Plants and celebrity news, all the vitamins I consume
Let's fly somewherе eastern, they'll havе what I need (They'll have what I need)
Let's go

[Pre-Chorus]
Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Pluto in Scorpio generation (Love and light)
You can burn sage and I'll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows (Blows just right, ri-ri-ri-right)

[Chorus]
I can't feel a thing
I keep looking at my mood ring
Tell me how I'm feeling
Floating away, floating away
All the sad girls sing
We'll keep dancing 'til the mood rings
Tell us how we're feeling
Floating away, floating away

[Outro]
Take me to some kinda—
Take me to some kinda—
Take me to some kinda place (Anywhere)
Watch the sun set, look back on my life (Take me to some kinda—)
I just wanna know, will it be alright? (Take me to some kinda—)
Take me to some kinda place (Anywhere)

Lorde

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.
