Lorde - Supercut
[Verse 1]
In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you
There's just a supercut
[Pre-Chorus]
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
I'm someone you maybe might love
I’ll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
[Chorus]
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
[Verse 2]
So I fall
Into continents and cars
All the stages and the stars
I turn all of it
To just a supercut
[Refrain]
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
We keep trying to talk about us
I'm someone you maybe might love
I’ll be your quiet afternoon crush
Be your violent overnight rush
Make you crazy over my touch
[Chorus]
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
But it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
Oh it's just a supercut of us
Supercut of us
[Refrain]
In my head, I do everything right
When you call, I'll forgive and not fight
Are the moments I play in the dark
And fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
'Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours are the moments I play in the dark
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart, uh
In my head, I do everything right
In my head, I do everything right
"Supercut" is a song where Lorde reflects on a past relationship, dwelling on the memories and moments they shared. The song examines the idea of a "supercut" in which the narrator takes snippets of their experiences with this person, and replays them in her head trying to make sense of the love that they had and the love that they lost. The narrator talks about how she has a vision of them in her head that never stops and that they are intensely vivid and strong, particularly the moments they spent together in the car, listening to the radio. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that it's only a "supercut" - just snippets of what they once had but not the whole experience. In the end, the narrator holds onto the hope that if the person were to come back, she would "forgive and not fight", allowing for the possibility of restoring that relationship.
