## Lyrics

Wearing SPF 3000 for the ultraviolet rays

Made it to the island on the last of the outbound planes (Ah-ah)

Got a trunk full of Simone and Céline, and of course, my magazines

I'm gonna live out my days

Won't somebody, anybody, be the leader of a new regime?

Free the keepers of the burnt-out scene another day

Lust and paranoia reign supreme

We need the leader of a new regime

## Lyrics

Hey, hey

You've heard it all before

One minute, I was killing 'em all

And the next, a brown suit wouldn't let me perform, ah

Typical

So I took a happy face and it's coming on like a charm

I don't wanna get lost, I wanna worship the sun

If you want, you can come

I'm in my own little golden age

But it's such a pill when they don't appreciate

So when you smoke that cigarette

Or when you talk shit 'bout an old friend

I know it's hard, but do your best

Give yourself a break, have a little faith, ah

Let's hear it for the girls

Living in the modern world

The banging on the door

Everyone please make way

For the girl who looks like she flew in from outer space

Yesterday, eh

I think I'll wait it out

My little thing is keeping 'em keen

They could be drinking with you, but they'll be looking at me

This whole time, I've been playing it coy

The city's falling for me just like I'm helen of troy, ah

So when you're broke, can't get ahead

Or when you take it out on your boyfriend

I know it's hard, but do your best

Give yourself a break, have a little faith

Let's hear it for the girls

Living in the modern world

Give yourself a break, have a little faith

Let's hear it for the girls

Living in the modern world

Let's hear it for the girls (let's hear it for the girls)

Living in the modern world (living in the modern world)

Throughout *Melodrama*, Lorde leaves many secret messages and cross-references. This is a list of all of them.

## Secret Messages

There is possibly a secret story in the album if you arrange the songs correctly.

* "The Louvre" - A new relationship's beginning. Lorde wanted to capture the "dumbness of falling in love".
* "Hard Feelings" - The relationship is falling apart.
* "Liability" + "Liability (Reprise)" - The relationship has officially ended, and she has deep remorse.
* "Supercut" - She regrets the past, and wishes to move on.
* "Hard Feelings/Loveless" - She takes the cliché "crazy ex-girlfriend" route, still on the road to moving on.
* "Homemade Dynamite" - She begins to fall to alcohol.
* "Sober" + "Sober II (Melodrama)" - Her habits remain and get more serious.
* "Perfect Places" - She is now in a very hard place, now resorted to harder partying, drinking and hooking up.
* "Green Light" - She realizes what kind of place she is in, and starts to rebuild herself.

## Background

## Lyrics

Remember when we used to sing, baby

Up in your room, before your mother got home?

There was a sound to our innocence

Our voices were lovers in the same bed

Now I'm not sure how they would sound, isn't it sad?

Now that the ocean's all waves and the diamonds are blood

There's a new girl on your song

I didn't know that I could be replaced

Years ago, I tried to get a message to you

But I never heard back, I never heard back

Where did we go wrong?

Our haven was always in a song

But just when I go to close the gates

Permanently, I realize that it isn't me

No, I don't keep a list, can't hold a grudge

Don't you think that we both might've done some growing up?

Well, I know that some shit was said and done

But it's such a different world now, I can't hate anyone

Remember when we woke at dawn

Saw the silver sun in your old Citroen?

And remember when we took them on?

Stoners on the run, how the West was won

Remember when we used to swim, baby

No one around, take off all our clothes?

And in a clear cold, we were born again

I used to count down to your birthday

Now I'm not sure if it's June or July, isn't that sad?

Where did we go wrong?

Our haven was always in a song

But just when I go to close the gates

Permanently, I realize that it isn't me

No, I don't keep a list, can't hold a grudge (hold no grudge)

Don't you think that we both might've done some growing up?

Yeah, I know that some shit was said and done (said and done)

But it's such a different world now, I can't hate anyone

Remember when we woke at dawn

Saw the silver sun in your old Citroen?

And remember when we took them on?

Stoners on the run, how the West was won

Acting my age, not my horoscope

Guess that's growing up

Now I'm sending you love

And wishing you well

Wherever you are

Vevo Offscreen - Lorde

"Vevo Offscreen - Lorde" is a video where Lorde describes her new album and the music video for "Green Light."

## Synopsis

The video shows shots of Lorde talking in a dark setting, with clips from her music videos for "Royals", and "Green Light".

### Dialogue

In the video Lorde explains the music video for "Green Light" and she reveals that she wanted to “ look the way my friends see me. I want to feel like I could be any one of the young people who listen to my music." She also revealed that dancing on the car was very hard, saying she would say "Cars generally are not built to have a girl dancing around and losing her mind on top of them. It was one of the strangest things I’ve done."
2017 Jazz Fest Performance

In 2017, Lorde performed at Jazz Fest, where she performed some of her songs. It was her first time at Jazz Fest.

## Background

On the day of her performance, Lorde began her hour-long show after a 15-minute delay. She commented that "You guys have danced more than the entirety of Coachella, the entirety of Coachella. Three songs in, and I'm already impressed."

## References

2013 Metro Interview

In 2013 Lorde was interviewed and photographed for Metro magazine.

## Controversy

There was great controversy over Lorde's comments on feminism; "I think women who say, ‘No, I’m not a feminist — I love men,’ I think that is just… You don’t know what it means. You think it means that ‘I don’t shave under my arms, I burn my bras. F–k men!’ How could you be so uneducated, and so unwilling to learn about something which is so important to you." As well as her "diss" at Taylor Swift: “Taylor Swift is so flawless, and so unattainable, and I don’t think it’s breeding anything good in young girls. ‘I’m never going to be like Taylor Swift, why can’t I be as pretty as Lorde?’ That’s f–king bulls–t."
Biting Down

"**Biting Down**" is the third track from Lorde's *Tennis Court EP* and the fifteenth track from the extended version of her debut album *Pure Heroine*.

## Background

### Composition and writing

"Biting Down" was written by Lorde (credited under Ella Yelich O'Connor) and Joel Little. It is described as a minimalistic track due to its simple production, and the repition of the phrase “It feels better biting down” throughout the song. About the song, Lorde commented:

> "I wrote this song called “Biting Down” which was on my first EP, and no one really knows what that song’s about and I never really talk about it, but what I meant by “biting down” was small moments of intensity that help you understand something greater, whether that be intense pain or shock or even being super cold or something. Sometimes those things, whether or not they’re pleasant, can really tell you something about yourself or what you’re feeling. So that’s what that song was about for me."
>

## Live Performances

Lorde performed "Biting Down" live on VEVO UK LIFT in 2013.

## Lyrics

[Hook]

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

[Verse 1]

Skip a hit, don't make a sound

(It feels better biting down)

Breathed so deep I thought I'd drown

(It feels better biting down)

Listen to the beats resound

(It feels better biting down)

[Hook + Verse 1]

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

It feels better biting down

Skip a hit, don't make a sound

(It feels better biting down)

Breathed so deep I thought I'd drown

(It feels better biting down)

Listen to the beats resound

(It feels better biting down)

[Verse 2]

It feels better biting down

The electronics of your heart

See how fast they fall apart

(It feels better biting down)

The electronics of your heart

See how fast they fall apart

(It feels better biting down.)

[Outro]

It feels better biting down

Skip a hit, don't make a sound

It feels better biting down

Lost Boys

"**Lost Boys**" is an unreleased song by New Zealand singer Lorde. It is most likely a scrapped song originally meant for *Pure Heroine*.

## Background

Lorde shared the song of Tumblr saying:

> "*found this little guy whilst trawling through my archives and thought it would be a cute thing to share with y’all. we wrote this song called lost boys in about march of last year, we spent a day on it and then never touched it again (it was not a good song, i promise, haha). a lot of people asked what happened to lost boys, and i guess you’ll never hear the other three-quarters of the song, but there was something about these bridge melodies i thought was pretty. so here you go - a little pre-christmas look at the cutting room floor. xo
> ps. sorry for shitty iphone quality :~)*"
>
>

It is doubtful this song will ever be released, as Lorde previously stated.

## Lyrics

These lyrics have not been confirmed by the singer of this song. Please do not assume lyrics are official.

It's time to let the lost boys take you in

It's getting cold out

You let yourself down

So please don't go out

You're looking dead behind the eyes

We'll stay at your house

Watch all those late shows on TV...

I like it best when you're in here with me

And all the lost boys

We make a picture perfect team

Bruising sidewalks

With all the drumming of our feet

And boy, I promise

We'll never ever let you leave

Never let you leave
Lorde's Dancing

Lorde's dancing is one of mass media debate and discussion, many comments on her strange, "exotic" movements.

## Criticism

See Also: Criticism of Lorde

Lorde has endured many troll comments and hate surrounding her dancing. Many have deemed it "demonic" and "exotic", with others scrutinizing it completely. Lorde explained she was ok with this in an interview saying "I guess I've always been a pretty 'dance to the beat of my own drum' type person.  I was always that kid in the neighborhood who'd wear these crazy outfits...dancing to [music] walking down to the street." Previosuly, she responded to trolls after her performance on SNL saying "one day i will do a normal dance choreographed by a nice person and I will look more like your other favourite performers but we have not yet reached that day ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯."

## Positive responses

Although her dancing has received much scrutiny, some people look at her dancing as the complete opposite of strange. A journalist on The FADER wrote an article on Lorde's dancing, saying she should be celebrated for it.

2018 Grammy Awards

The 2018 Grammy Awards were held on January 28th, 2018. Lorde was nominated for Album of the Year for Melodrama.

## Background

In late 2017, Lorde was nominated for Album of the Year for her sophomore studio album Melodrama. She was the only female in that category.

## Controversy

Controversy arose when it was revealed Lorde would not be performing at the Grammy Awards. This was later confirmed to be because Lorde was offered to sing "American Girl" by Tom Petty as a part of a tribute to the singer - but she declined. People were upset with this as she was the only female nominated for Album of the Year, yet she wasn't scheduled to perform.

Sonja Yelich is the mother of Lorde, and Lorde's three other siblings.

## Background

Yelich was born in 1965 into an immigrant family from Dalmatia in Auckland, New Zealand.  She studied literature at the University of Auckland and became a trained teacher. Yelich's early poetry was included in *AUP Poets 2* (2002). Her first collection of poems, *Clung*  (Auckland University Press, 2004), won the 2005 Jessie Mackay Award for 'Best First Book of Poetry' at the New Zealand Book Awards. Her poems were chosen for the *Best New Zealand Poems* series in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008. She was also included in *New New Zealand Poets in Performance* (AUP, July 2008), a book that was released with an accompanying CD.

Yelich’s second collection of poetry, *Get Some* (AUP, 2008) was a finalist in the New Zealand Post Book Awards. *Get Some* focuses on an American marine named "Edgar" who is serving in Iraq.

In 2010 Yelich received a Buddle Findlay Sargeson Fellowship that allowed her to write full-time in residence at the Sargeson Centre. The Centre is adjacent to the University of Auckland and recipients receive an annual stipend of NZ$40,000.

In June 2014, Sonja became engaged to her longtime partner, Vic O'Connor, and they married on 6 May 2017. Later the same year, she joined Lorde at the 2017 BBMAs.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Pt. 1 Soundtrack

***The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack*** is the official soundtrack to the 2014 American science-fiction adventure film *The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1* curated by Lorde. The film is an adaptation of the 2010 novel by Suzanne Collins and is the third installment in the *The Hunger Games* film series.

## Background

On July 31, 2014, it was announced that Lorde would provide a single for the film's soundtrack album and curate the record. The track list for the soundtrack was released on October 21, 2014. Details of the fifth track were confirmed on November 3, 2014.

As the album's curator, Lorde recruited Grace Jones, Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, Diplo, Miguel, The Chemical Brothers, Charli XCX, Stromae, Major Lazer and Ariana Grande to contribute to the official track list. In an interview with *Billboard*, she stated that her "idol", Kanye West, had made a remix of the album's first single, "Yellow Flicker Beat" which would appear on the track list.

On December 3, 2014, the soundtrack was re-released digitally with "The Hanging Tree" by James Newton Howard featuring Jennifer Lawrence as the fifteenth song on the album. The song was originally released on the score.

"Yellow Flicker Beat" and "The Hanging Tree" are the only songs on the album to be used in the film.

## Reception

### Critical Reception

*Pitchfork Media* gave the album a 7.8, stating: “Across the board, the songs sound like threads of hope escaping gloomier pasts, echoing the arc of the film’s generational heroine. It’s no coincidence that, of the 14 songs featured on Mockingjay, 11 feature female vocalists in the foreground.” *Billboard* gave the soundtrack a positive review calling Lorde’s work “stellar”: “Thanks to her vision, and her grip on the series’ most important thematic elements, the 50 minutes of music behind Mockingjay Part 1 ably function as both a glance at 2014′s finest purveyors of complex, downcast pop and a complement to the start of the series’ chaotic, brutal conclusion.” *Spin* ranked all 14 tracks, with "This Is Not a Game" topping their list: “Much like the British production duo’s overlooked score from the 2011 thriller, *Hanna*, ‘Game’ tells its own story in three minutes, and sets a new bar for what soundtracks can and should be doing in terms of balancing story with songwriting, and Lorde’s part in it shouldn’t be overlooked. After all, like the movie preaches, even the quietest voices can spark a change.”

## Lyrics

As we drank deep from the lie

Cause I felt melting magnets, babe

The second I saw you through half-shut eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

Smoke and sunset, off Mulholland

He was talking, I was wonderin' 'bout

You and that girl, she your girlfriend?

Face from heaven, bet the world she don't know

Pretty girls don't know the things that I know

Walk my way, I'll share the things that she won't

[Chorus]

Uh-oh, dancing past the point of no return

Let go, we can free ourselves of all we've learned

I love this secret language that we're speakin'

Say it to me, let's embrace the point of no return

Let's embrace the point of no return

Let's embrace the point of no return

[Verse 2]

Never really thought we would make it

We be thinking about what could have been

But we've had a record summer, can't turn it down, oh

Now I don't wanna see the end begin

[Pre-Chorus]

Smoke and sunset, off Mulholland

He was talking, I was wonderin' 'bout

You and that girl, she your girlfriend?

Face from heaven, bet the world she don't know

Pretty girls don't know the things that I know

Walk my way, I'll share the things that she won't

[Chorus]

Uh-oh, dancing past the point of no return

Let go, we can free ourselves of all we've learned

I love this secret language that we're speakin'

Say it to me, let's embrace the point of no return

Let's embrace the point of no return

Let's embrace the point of no return

Let's embrace the point of no return

Let's embrace the point of no return

(Let's embrace the point of no return)

(Let's embrace the point of no return)

Universal Music Distribution (WW) | Island Records (UK) | Universal Music Enterprises | (catalog releases)

### Country of Origin

USA

**Republic Records** is a record label that distributed Lorde's debut album, *Pure Heroine*, along with *Melodrama*.

## History

According to Avery Lipman, he and his brother Monte Lipman first conceived of Republic Records at the kitchen table of their apartment:

Frustrated by the limitations of being an independent with a very small staff, the Lipman brothers accepted an offer from Universal. One of several labels that comprise Universal Motown Republic Group, the newly named Republic Records was formed in 1995 as a sub-label of MCA's Geffen Records. Avery Lipman told HitQuarters that the pairing was a "complete disaster", saying: "Our ideas and vision didn’t fit with the label. We didn’t trust our own instincts. We let others decide what was right for the project."

Creme Eggs

Cadburry Creme Eggs is a type of candy that is a favorite of Lorde's.

## Background

In a Twitter post Lorde showed a picture with herself eating some Creme Eggs, and also made a parody of "Green Light" as a song about Creme Eggs. This happened when she went on BBC Radio 1's *The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw*to discuss the recording process for her upcoming sophomore LP, *Melodrama*, and to further promote its lead single, "Green Light." Nick Grimshaw brought up Creme Eggs, and Lorde dissed American chocolate she had eaten during her country's visit to perform on *Saturday Night Live*, before marveling in the wonders of London's treat. She then started belting out a parody of "Green Light", singing "waiting for it, that Creme Egg!" -

Ribbons

As teeth are a major part of the Pure Heroine lyrics, ribbons are the same for the Melodrama lyrics.

## Symbolism

Ribbons are generally long, narrow strip of fabric, used especially for tying something or for decoration, so Lorde uses them in the context of being stuck to something, or being tied in something, in this context, ribbons.

## Mentions

"Supercut" - "These ribbons wrap me up" is a direct mention to being wrapped or tied up in something, or a romantic connection.

"Sober" - "I'm acting like I don't see, every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me" can be described as another mention to romantic connection. As thought out on Genius, "Ribbons are often considered very pretty, and used to tie up presents, so you could even say that he thought he was helping her/giving her a gift by tying himself to her and governing her every action."

[Verse 1]

Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

[Verse 2]

Acting on your best behavior

Turn your back on Mother Nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

[Verse 3]

It's my own design

It's my own remorse

Help me to decide

Help me make the most of freedom

And of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody wants to rule the world

[Chorus]

There's a room where the light won't find you

Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down

When they do, I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it

So sad we had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

Everybody wants to rule the world

Everybody wants to rule the world

Piece of Mind

"**Piece of Mind**" is a song by And They Were Masked, featuring Lorde. It was recorded before she was known as Lorde.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lorde]

Seems to rise within pinpoint underpinned

Divided into a piece of mind that's prescribed for a later time

Guess who's right yeah and no one proves

Listening for proof you cannot use

[Verse 2: Lorde]

Despondents intertwined in that moment unrealized

From hindsight it all comes clear passing through so insincere

Irrelevant to any gaze conceived to judge from older age

[Outro: Lorde]

Intended to serve us, no love questioned from

Those that hide, so hide wants to ask, why at all, so small

## Lyrics

There's nothing I want but money in time

Million dollar bills in a tick tick tick tick

There's nothing more cruel

Than only nine lives

A limit in spite

Will do the trick trick trick trick

We can leave the house, lead the party, let the people know

Go drown the colors of our minds and watch the cars go

There's nothing as fun as coming untied

And running with the kids in the park park park park

There's nothing that's hurt like letting you go

It's like a bird eyes in the dark dark dark dark

We can leave the house, lead the party, let the people know

Go drown the colors of our minds and watch the cars go

It's not about just being out with all our people

Cause we can get in trouble just by going free flow

And now I'm letting you know and now I'm letting you know

And now I'm letting you know and now I'm letting you know

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

No one knows where the ladder goes

You're gonna lose what you love the most

You're not alone in anything

You're not unique in dying

I feel estranged every now and then

Fall asleep reading science fiction

I wanna fly in your silver ship

Let my mama hang and my sister sit

It's on now

The days are long now

The ups and the sundowns

And a twisting mind

If I gotta go first

I'll do it on my terms

I'm tired of traitors always changing sides

They were friends of mine

[Verse 2]

Don't hang around once the promise breaks

Or you'll be there when the next one's made

Kiss the feet of a charlatan

Some imagine freedom

All the rest is predictable

Trying your hardest to melt the snow

Tie the knots to concentrate

Keep on pulling, that rope will break

[Verse 3]

We'll welcome the new age

Covered in warrior paint

Lights from the jungle to the sky

See now, a star bursts

Looks just like a blood orange

Don't it just make you wanna cry

Precious friend of mine?

[Verse 4]

Will I know when it's finally done?

This whole life's a hallucination

You're not alone in anything

You're not alone in trying

To be
