    Lyrics:
    I was neon, I was the nearest door
    I was the sign that said you’ve been here before
    I swear I could see it, swear I could see it all so clear
    I was steady, I was soft to the touch
    cut wide open, did I let in too much
    I swear I could feel it, swear I could feel it
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    I quite like the person that I am
    am I gonna lose myself again
    I was neon, I was a floodlight
    arms out reaching for everything in sight
    I swear I could be it, swear I could be it
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    I quite like the person that I am
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    I quite like the person that I am
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    am I gonna lose myself again
    I don’t want to lose myself again

    Anyone who balances 'Am I gonna lose myself again' with 'I quite like the person that I am' wins my 'confident introvert' lyric of the year vote any day! And an infectious melody on top?! (not to mention those gloves)! Genius in the making.

      i listened to crushing just a few days after it came out, it really became a part of me because several songs reminded me of my own issues...several years have passed, i dont listen to it much anymore, but i still know every word ❤️❤️ i get kinda emotional when i think about how long it's been and the person i used to be. cant wait for something new from her

  • @deliathemchale
    @deliathemchale Před rokem +1

    From a color theory perspective there’s a few interesting things going on here, especially with the color green. For the verses and the chorus, she cuts back and forth between her in a cramped, dark yellowish house, and her in an open green field. In the house she’s wearing almost fluorescent green eyeshadow and gloves, mirroring the green in the outside shots. While the green outside is natural and envelopes her, the green gloves and eyeshadow are artifice she has coated herself in as if trying to recall the outside, or perhaps as an attempt to ward off the dark yellow tones of the house. However, her dress in the outdoor shots is that same yellow we see in the house. Im sure there are purely aesthetics reasons for all of this (the dim yellow and bright green pop against one another, it makes for a cohesive color palette throughout the video which in turn makes the dark purple clouds feel more intense, etc etc). Anyway, despite the fact that I wrote this whole comment to offer my analysis of the vid, a pet peeve of mine is when people try to exactly explain an artist’s work, especially visuals. They are visuals and not words for a reason. So to be clear, the yellow dress outside maybe calls to the house/“lost” version of Julia, implying she is never fully lost or found. Or that life works cyclically and in both locations she’s in the process of transitioning to the other. Or that she likes the color green more than yellow. Or that the art director, costumer, and set designer thought this was a good choice (although I think Julia deserves more credit than that). Anyway 10/10 video
