Charli XCX - Wires Lyrics






You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
You got tears, making tracks
I got tears that are scared of the facts

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here in a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
There's dried blood on your wrist
Your dry blood on my fingertips

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here in a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know

I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
Alright

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here in a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes
Down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know

  11. F.... T....

    I love the evolution of Charli. She does what she wants, even if her fans don't like it. She's true to herself. From Art Bitch/Emeline and Francheskaar to Pop 2, it's all great, everything she does, and even though she didn't get into music to be a role model,she is a huge inspiration to me.

  12. P.... C....

    Charli is my life.

  13. p.... r....

  16. S.... 1....

    Manson remake duo. He-ll add a couple perfect lyrics and XCX crawling slowly across the floor in black leaving a trail of black rose petals that turns into the Terminator 2 liquid that then morphs into black butterflies that fly away. And Charlie is also crying black bloody tears when she's singing
    🤘🏻 Charlie Manson XCX ⚡️⚡️

    Cute song

  23. C.... T....

    I'm actually amazed by this cover. It's so creatively different from the original and it's beautiful how a set of lyrics and a melody can be interpreted in so many different ways. Like they sound so different.

  24. L.... L....

  41. L.... M....

    Miss this Charli.
    Some Cyber punk, Witch house and dream pop, really miss u.
    Sucker is too bad, Charli in your next album, please make something like True Romance.
    xoxo

    L.... M....

    The point many people in the comments section are missing, is that it's about preference. I like all of her music and have done since the very beginning, in the _!Franchesckaar!_ days when no-one knew who she was. I just _prefer_ her more alternative sound, style and lyrics. She was experimenting with new sounds and genres. It was very fresh, new and interesting. She blended many different styles and came up with her own, unique vision and identity.

    She still embraces different styles and I love the electronic elements and retro 90's feel, but it's not the same. Her unreleased tracks are so amazing, it's incredible how many mixtapes / EP's and unreleased tracks that went under the radar. If she released some of the really catchy tracks like the title track 'Heartbreak High' etc. now she's finally reached mainstream success, I think they'd do really well. She's so talented. I love the more alt Charli & always will do. Thank fuck for YouTube.

    P.s I'm a massive fan so I know the majority of her music, but I discovered this track recently and it's easily one of my favourites.

    L.... M....

    wow love of my life you know exactly whatsup when it comes down to the way Charli has branched out her music. Shes an amazing artist, shes built with talent, the thing that is so amazing is that you have albums like True Romance, where you can feel the young heartbreak rebellion. And the mixtapes before that along with unreleased songs just get you in that emotional ruthless feel. Sucker is so pop and I love it, its like this big middle finger to everyone, such a idgaf mood, shes having fun with music and really digging into her female energy and appreciating mainstream pop. Its not for everyone but people shouldnt deny the fact that its still a good album for that type of genre. Then you got Vroom Vroom EP, #1 Angel, and now POP2 which are super experimental but you can see the whole growth from Charli. You can listen to any album and im sure theres a bunch of bangers that you're going to get into. Its so new and refreshing, we love a goth-pop legend. I do miss True Romance/Heartbreaks & Earthquakes era just because she really dug deep into the lyrics and took you into a spiritual journey.

    L.... M....

    I believe Charli entering pc music was the best thing for her career

    L.... M....

    She sold out and she’s not comin back lol

    L.... M....

    She's not dead.

  42. J.... G....

    I lo ve music

  43. w.... h....

    I still luv Charli but i want her to make songs like this! Unique and beautiful plz don't stop making these songs!! Mix of both:)

  44. S.... ....

    That was not a song for me. That was not really a song to me, too weird I guess.

    S.... ....

    @Aidan Collins Agreed. The original is absolutely better in every way.

    S.... ....

    @Pete Rockwell
    Ya'll got no taste. This is obviously wayyyy better.

    S.... ....

    +Aidan Collins I knew this wasn't the original version, I just couldn't remember the artist. Thank you!

    S.... ....

    +Aidan Collins I knew this wasn't the original version, I just couldn't remember the artist. Thank you!

    S.... ....

    No worries @Sailor Mars

  45. V.... V....

    This beat reminds me of Crim3s. Just love it.

  46. B.... N....

    Honestly, when are you all going to stop? Charli has pretty much always been this way. Rebellious with a fun, & dark edge.

    B.... N....

    yeah but she kinda lost the dark thing and just makes these crazy abstract dance songs now. there isnt really anymore emotion. shes still really cool and i loveeee her but she definitely is different.

  47. j.... ....

    So much emotion

  48. V.... ....

    oh that incredible music, this is what I look for when I want quality, love ♥

  49. N.... G....

    Her voice ♡

  50. s.... ....

    @Mm Hamsters Calm down break the rules is just the first song of her album. A true fan wouldn't jump to conclusions.

  51. S.... M....

    Love it

  52. m.... f....

    Love the original by Athlete. But this is a pretty damn good cover.

  53. S.... L....

    I love this song

  54. m.... l....

    Charli please continue with this type of music. I heard your new song, break the rules and your music has changed so much, and to be honest I don't like it as much as this. I swear every time an artist comes to America they turn into this crappy mainstream music. Then they lose all of their true fans that are really come to your concerts to listen and enjoy the music. But instead they get those people that come to the concert bc they heard one of your song on the radio and they thought it was good or maybe they might have a chance to met someone famous. But really charli? THIS is really you and I am really sorry you are giving it up.

    m.... l....

    I'm with you, Charli had great potential but sadly she fell in with the wrong crowd now she sounds like some easy to forget stuff. I thought she was gonna make a change in music genre but she failed just like the others,lost in the sea of easy to forget singers.😔💔

  55. A.... D....

    Its so perfect!

  56. V.... ....

    Is this on an album?

    V.... ....

    nope she has a lot of songs that aren't on albums 

    V.... ....

    ^^ accurate. And the ones that aren't on albums are the best ones :P

    V.... ....

    @Gilberts_Ugly_Face  OH MY GOSH I'VE FOUND YOU IN THE COMMENTS ONCE AGAIN! LOVE YOU QUEEN

    V.... ....

    @ThatInfinityLife OMG AHAHAHA LOVE YOU TOO

  57. V.... ....

    So good I even forgot it was a cover

  58. R.... H....

    wow you're a dickbag

  59. R.... U....

    Esa cancion la escuche hace unos años con athlete y de verdad me gustha mas con athlete

  60. E.... S....

    Tye beat is almost like royals. I really like it

  61. K.... H....

    ur amazing

  62. c.... B....

    ho ly shit this is great

  63. J.... ....

    should have been on the album in place of cloud aura

  64. R.... J....

    i downloaded this song by athlete as an itunes free download of the week back when i was 15. i'm 22 now. i can't believe she's done this AND champagne coast, holy shit i can't believe i missed out on seeing her & marina a week ago to make dinner for my baby bitch ex...totally kicking myself in the arse

  65. L.... ....

    I want to make a music video for charli so bad.

  66. A.... ....

    Does anyone else get a huge MK ULTRA vibe from this song?

  67. t.... ....

    Charlotte Aitchison and Marina Diamandis. Yeah, they're sisters lol That's like saying Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry are sisters just cause they look similar.

  68. C.... V....

    The beginning makes me think of Streets of Rage 2.

  69. J.... ....

    no way, really!? well wouldn't it be awesome for them to do a song together like
    aly and aj!?

  70. �.... ....

    The beat makes me want to take my clothes off.. @.@

  71. c.... ....

    marina and charli are not blood relatives... and its amazing how charli made this song sound sexy, considering its subject matter.

  72. B.... R....

    wires just grew out of my skin as i played this.

  73. Z.... E....

    Where's this from?

  74. s.... ....

    sadly, it's not possible to fuck someones voice :(

  75. E.... M....

    the bass on this!!!

  76. P.... ....

    nah... his voice hella bugs now. played out, overproduced vocals, can't really sing like that live.

  77. C.... Y....

    This is sooooooo cool

  78. P.... ....

    way better than the original, more emotional

  79. G.... a....

    I don't think she sounds anything like Karin.

  80. A.... L....

    amazing how she can make a sad song sounds sexy

  81. a.... l....

    omg, that would be amazing

  82. X.... G....

    she sounds like Soap&Skin mixed with Marina & the Diamonds here

  83. i.... ....

    very good

  84. K.... L....

    I must say that I would not like to see them live again, but I do enjoy them not live.

  85. P.... ....

    Cute song, but let's not compare Karin to, well, anyone.
    Beside, one of the most distinct things about Karin's vocals is her accent.

  86. S.... L....

    Does it reming you something like joy division?

  87. N.... R....

    Teach me how to......
    opps wrong song you fucking thieves

  88. A.... M....

    The Weeknd would sound so good on this.

  89. F.... M....

    @GiantOfTheNorth this girl would have been like 5 years old when the knife started making music, so i'm guessing not. haha

  90. G.... ....

    are vocals Karin from the knife?

  91. H.... ....

    Great cover!
