Meltdown

(Stromae)

(feat. Q-Tip)

[Intro, Pusha T]
Lorde meet King Push

[Verse 1, Pusha T]
Life is like a costume party
Just cover the floors in Cavalli
Let's hide the hurt in a molly
We're all trying to be somebody else
You can't hide your tears in wealth
When your heart knows you hate yourself
It's all pain we felt
Just the way that the card's been dealt

[Refrain, Lorde]
Cover up all that is passed
Drop an olive in your glass
Putting on a disguise
It's an ocular vice
Everyone on the run
Fifty feet all on the gas
Take him out, take him out
Gonna take him out

[Pre-Hook, Lorde]
We're the only theory they can't prove
And we don't have anything to lose

[Hook, Lorde]
In my eyes, in my ears, bring might
Love is only figured once in life
Tell the crowd, search the town
Can we make it out right now
It's a full meltdown

[Verse 3, Q-Tip]
Try to break her spirit so it shouldn't be surprisin
We're here with no fear and gave her uprising
Gonna blend in with the bullies and the bureaucrats
Arrows pierce like lightning, choppers sound like thunder clap
Never will you stand, we gon lay you down
Dominant and dapper kids coming in to take the town
Try to restrain us, even though you trained us
We're better than you are, now we're gonna make you feed us

[Refrain, Lorde]

[Verse 4, Pusha T]
We're all looking for status
Cristal sent over on gratis
Can't pretend we're not plastic
When these poker faces take practice
Who to trust? Who to love?
Who to run from? Who to hug?
Set fire to a government of thugs
Respect only comes from the money or your blood

[Bridge, Lorde]
We're out of sight, shadows of light
They're closing in and I know where we're goin
But I don't know who I'll be

[Hook, Lorde]

[Outro, Haim]
(I can hear, and see a ghost)
Was it meant to be?
(In my mind, I know)
Cause I can't see
(And if you keep, ..)
I can't see
(I'm your undertow)

Dead Air

(Chvrches)

I will never believe what they say
There is a strength in enduring
They never speak for themselves
We are disappearing

You will be all that I seek
In a twisted lie
I would live inside you
Words will be all that I keep
In an open space
They would live inside you

[Chorus]
We hold up to an idea
And we'll fight what we can't see
We just hold up to an idea
We keep going till we can't hear
(Dead air)
We hold up to an idea
And we'll fight what we can't see
We just hold up to an idea
We keep going till we can't hear
(Dead air)

We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air

This is a call to your arms
To take on mind over matter
Replacing fist over fist
We are disappearing

You will be all that I seek
In a twisted lie
I would live inside you
Words will be all that I keep
In an open space
They would live inside you

We hold up to an idea
And we'll fight what we can't see
We just hold up to an idea
We keep going till we can't hear
(Dead air)
We hold up to an idea
And we'll fight what we can't see
We just hold up to an idea
We keep going till we can't hear
(Dead air)

We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air

We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air
We are, we are
We are all just dead air

Scream My Name

(Tove Lo)

[Verse 1]
Fist fights, long nights, come home late
Can't sleep, I keep me awake
Flip through the lives on TV
I'll say, for now, I'm happy

[Pre-Chorus]
Love it when I'm play-pretending
When I can take bullets to the heart
F*cking up my happy ending
But I can take bullets to the heart

[Chorus]
Breathe and balance and love, I was born on the scene
Now it runs in my blood, yeah, you know what I mean
When I'm dead and gone, will they sing about me?
Dead and gone, will they scream my name?
Scream my name

[Verse 2]
Wake up, guard up, and I'm bored
Night runs with guns, too hardcore
Don't dare to care about someone
I'm dirt, I'm ice, is that wrong?

Love it when I'm play-pretending
When I can take bullets to the heart
F*cking up my happy ending
But I can take bullets to the heart

Breathe and balance and love, I was born on the scene
Now it runs in my blood, yeah, you know what I mean
When I'm dead and gone, will they sing about me?
Dead and gone, will they scream my name?

Breathe and balance and love, I was born on the scene
Now it runs in my blood, yeah, you know what I mean
When I'm dead and gone, will they sing about me?
Dead and gone, will they scream my name?
Scream my name

Ah-ah
Ohh

Breathe and balance and love, I was born on the scene
Now it runs in my blood, yeah, you know what I mean
When I'm dead and gone, will they sing about me?
Dead and gone, will they scream my name?

Breathe and balance and love, I was born on the scene
Now it runs in my blood, yeah, you know what I mean
When I'm dead and gone, will they sing about me?
Dead and gone, will they scream my name?
Scream my name

Ah-ah

Kingdom

(Charli XCX)

(feat. Simon Bon)

[Verse 1]
It's all black
Your kingdom's turned me blank
I'm paper and I'm snow
I'm lost but I can't slow
I'm lost but not alone
It's so light, the dark it burns my eyes
My bones, they used to glow
But now I'm throwing stones
I'm losing where to go

[Chorus]
Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will say fly
Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night

[Verse 2]
Without you, my lips are turning blue
The water pulls me down
And drowns under your sound
This silence booms so loud
I'm locked up, your kingdom's like a drug
The chains are made of glass
I'm breaking through your blood
I'm never strong enough

Shadows on my back are moving slow
They twist behind like white leaves in the wind
And as I ride, these horses will say fly
Falling hard, falling high, through your arms
Shadows in my head don't need no light
They stay through the night

[Verse 3, Simon Le Bon]
To every rose with bloody thorn
It lifts you up and lets you fall
To rivers flowing yond the factory halls
Your kingdom's come, it's waiting still
The space between you'll never fill
I tried but I could not change your mind

[Outro]
I dance around, and I lost you now
I breathed you out, I kept you out
But if I could, I'd turn back around

All My Love

(Major Lazer)

(feat. Ariana Grande)

Sometimes I think we're the brightest stars
And I try to believe we'll find a way
Will life change, will our hearts turn colder?

All the rhythms in my heart lift me up inside
We can stay out of the trouble is it worth the blame?
Is it true that the more you give the more they take?
All the rhythms in my heart lift me up and say

[Pre-Chorus:]
All your love will make us ache
All your love is worth the chase
All my love I know we're waitin' for this
All my love's up on the mountain top

[Chorus:]
All my love
All my love
All my love
Up on the mountain top

All the rhythms in my heart lift me up and say
We're just a mess of broken people but we love the game
I would do anything for us, it's worth the pain
All the rhythms in my heart lift me up and say

All your love will make us ache
All your love is worth the chase
All my love I know we're waitin' for this
All my love's up on the mountain top

All my love
All my love
All my love
Up on the mountain top

All my love
All my love
All my love
Up on the mountain top

You're always on my mind, oh there'll come a day
Day where we can fly, reach the glory haze
High up in the sun and by the sky, sun and by the sky

All your love will make us ache
All your love is worth the chase
All my love I know we're waitin' for this
All my love's up on the mountain top

All my love
All my love
All my love
Up on the mountain top

All my love
All my love
All my love
Up on the mountain top

Lost Souls

(Raury)

[Chorus]
C'mon, lost souls
Souls, souls
C'mon, lost souls
Ah-ooo
It's you, and you
And you, and you
And you, and you
And you, and you

[Verse]
Why am I here? Who could I be?
Could I be the hero? Could I be the villian? Trying to be productive, trying to make a living
Inside this world, somehow I do
Looking at the glass, ceiling reminiscing, pistol in my hand, hatred in my heart
I'm sorry for, painting that view
View of violence, into your subconscious, what the TV does too
I mean who could you blame?
I mean who could you blame?
Cause we're
Ooh-oohhh

[Bridge]
Trapped in the vine
Feel left behind
Moon walking for, what you losing your mind?
You're losing your mind

C'mon, lost souls
Souls, souls
C'mon, lost souls
Ah-ooo
It's you, and you
And you, and you
And you, and you
And you, and you

Yellow Flicker Beat

(Lorde)

I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it

People talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes

[Chorus]
I'm done with it (ooh)
This is the start of how it ever ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try, keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

I dream all year, but they're not the sweet kinds
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

I'm done with it (ooh)
This is the start of how it ever ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We're at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there's so much down here
So I just try, keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat, beat, beat, beat
beat...

The Leap

(Tinashe)

[Verse 1]
Day after day I'm waiting
Sitting around here poised and ready
Why do I feel so numb?
Hear me now, still when I feel most lonely
There will be people all around me
Shuffling past my eyes
So I live in my head
Regrets

[Pre-Chorus]
Leave 'em on the floor, wrap 'em in an old black sheet
I'm gonna set it all ablaze, watch it burn to ash and dust
Looking for a sign, karma's coming back for us
I was waiting on you, waiting on you

[Chorus]
The leap, leap, leap
Don't look, don't look down
Leap
(Ooh hurry up don't miss your chance)
Leap
(Time is running out the clock ain't gon' stop for no man)
Leap
For you, for me

[Verse 2]
Night after night I'm suffering
Months have gone by it seems like dozens
Why do I feel so numb?
Hear me now
If you're the man you claim to be
Why do you drain the the life right out of me?
Never make a move, never make a change
I needed, I needed, I needed, to make a shift of faith

Leave 'em on the floor, wrap 'em in an old black sheet
I'm gonna set it all ablaze, watch it burn to ash and dust
Looking for a sign, karma's coming back for us
I was waiting on you, waiting on you

The leap, leap, leap
Don't look, don't look down
Leap
(Ooh hurry up don't miss your chance)
Leap
(Time is running out the clock ain't gon' stop for no man)
Leap
For you, for me

(For Lashes)

(Son Lux Cover)

Leave the wasting world behind us
We will make it out alive
Leave the waiting world behind us
We will not give up this time

Hold on to our reasons
And plan the escape
Hold on to our reasons
And plan the escape

Hold on to our reasons
And plan the escape
Hold on to our reasons
And plan the escape

This Is Not A Game

(Chemical Brothers)

(feat. Lorde & Miguel)

[Intro - Lorde:]
There it is

[Verse 1 - Miguel:]
Find what you love and let it kill you
Chop under pressure, thinkin' dammit
All eyes on me like a conductor
That mean, just play your role, you might can chime in
Wait, play the game to change the game
Word to Gucci, that's my hitta
Your way is livin' in the moment, huh?
My way is livin' for tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus - Miguel:]
Wonder what I'm doin'
Yeah I know what I'm doin'
Say I know what I'm doin'
You talk about a revolution

[Chorus - Lorde (Miguel):]
There it is (Wait, nah babe)
There it is (Wait, nah babe)
There it is

[Verse 2 - Miguel:]
All around the clock
Even when I'm under fire, preach
No never never settle, I just stop 'em boy
But I ain't outta touch, I'm just outta reach

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Interlude:]
No this is not a game
No this is not a game
No this is not a game

[Bridge:]
Patience and determination
Starin' at a body of it
Starin' at a gladiator
Victory is sweet and I'm a get it now and later

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Verse 3 x2 - Miguel:]
No this is not a game, nah babe
I'm talkin' turn out
I won't ever burn out
What I gotta make it turn out

[Outro - Lorde:]
There it is
There it is

Ladder Song

(Lorde)

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

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

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?

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
