Lorde - Team
Wait 'til you’re announced
We’ve not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness
That you’ll send the call out
(Send the call out [x15])
Call all the ladies out
They’re in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in
Their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Even the comatose they don’t dance and tell
[Chorus:]
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team
I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there
So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn’t my fault
And everyone’s competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release
[Chorus:]
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team
I’m kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I’m kinda older than I was when I revelled without a care
So there
[Chorus:]
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know, we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know, and you know, and you know
"Team" is a song that celebrates the power of community and unity. It speaks to the idea that together we are stronger than we could ever be alone. The song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and make connections with those around them. It promotes positivity and support for one another, noting that even in the darkest of times, we can rely on each other for support. The chorus of the song states, "We live in cities you'll never see on-screen / Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things / Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams / And you know, we're on each other's team". In this line, Lorde is emphasizing that while the world we live in often doesn't look like it does in the movies, we as a collective are still powerful and accomplished. The song also speaks to the power of self-acceptance, emphasizing that although sometimes it can be hard to go against what society expects of us, it is important to remain true to ourselves.
