Buzzcut Season Lyrics – Lorde
Buzzcut Season Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lorde]
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: Lorde]
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: Lorde]
We ride the bus with the knees pulled in
People should see how we're living
(We ride the bus with the 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: Lorde]
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: Lorde]
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: Lorde]
Cola with the burnt-out taste
I'm the one you tell your fears to
There'll never be enough of us
[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
Explosions on TV
And all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool
Where everything is good
[Chorus: Lorde]
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
Buzzcut Season Lyrics Explained
The lyrics of "Buzzcut Season" by Lorde paints a picture of a world where reality seems surreal, almost like living in a dream or a hologram. The song captures the feeling of being caught between the innocence of youth and the harshness of the real world. It's about finding solace and escape in simple pleasures despite the chaos and uncertainty around.
[Verse 1]
The song starts with vivid imagery of a past memory where someone's head caught fire, metaphorically representing a moment of intense emotion or passion. Despite the chaos, there's a sense of acceptance and even amusement ("Well, you laughed, baby, it's okay"). The reference to "buzzcut season" suggests a time of change or transition, perhaps symbolizing leaving behind the old to embrace something new.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus delves into the theme of media saturation and the disconnect between reality and fantasy. Explosions on TV and girls lost in dreams hint at the overwhelming influence of media on perception. Yet, there's a retreat to a place of refuge, a metaphorical pool where everything feels safe and idyllic.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Lorde describes mundane activities like riding the bus, but there's an undercurrent of defiance or rebellion ("People should see how we're living"). Closing one's eyes to the song playing suggests a desire to escape or ignore the harsh realities of life, finding solace in momentary distractions.
[Chorus]
The chorus reflects a longing for escape and companionship. "Never go home again" hints at a desire to avoid returning to the harshness of reality. Living in a hologram with a favorite friend represents finding comfort and joy in shared experiences, even if they're fleeting or illusory.
[Bridge]
The bridge introduces the motif of consuming cola with a burnt-out taste, a metaphor for seeking solace in something that's lost its appeal. Lorde becomes the confidante, the one to whom fears are confessed, emphasizing the bond of trust and intimacy.
[Pre-Chorus]
Repeating the pre-chorus reinforces the theme of media influence and escapism. Despite the chaos depicted on TV, there's a retreat to a tranquil setting where everything feels perfect.
[Chorus]
The final chorus echoes the longing for escape and companionship. Living in a hologram suggests a sense of unreality, but finding comfort and joy in shared experiences persists, even if they're just illusions or fantasies. The song ends on this bittersweet note, capturing the tension between reality and escapism.
