Rina Sawayama - Flicker Lyrics






These days looking sideways
Sadness, not from heartache
Cold shoulder, the way you look at
Me, me, me, me
I'm losing my axis
Looking at the recess
This pressure, the way you look at
Me, me, me, me

They say don't even try to resist
Look at what you've been given
Be grateful and don't take the piss
When the people on TV
They all look the same
I know I can do
I can do better than them

When you're down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us
They ain't us, baby
'Cause you know what they don't
Just remember your name
They ain't us
They ain't us, baby
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
But they ain't gonna shine like us
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
Nobody gonna shine like us
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
But they ain't gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me

Back then didn't notice
They called it subversive
No longer withheld by what you think of me

They say don't even try to resist
Look at what you've been given
Be grateful and don't take the piss
When the people on TV
They all look the same
I know I can do
I can do better than them

When you're down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us
They ain't us, baby
'Cause you know what they don't
Just remember your name
They ain't us
They ain't us, baby
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
But they ain't gonna shine like us
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
Nobody gonna shine like us
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
But they ain't gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me

(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
Well they ain't no sun
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
Well they ain't no flame
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
We are not the same
No, no, no, no
When you're feeling down

When you're down, feeling low
Just remember your name
They ain't us
They ain't us, baby
'Cause you know what they don't
Just remember your name
They ain't us
They ain't us, baby
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
But they ain't gonna shine like us
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
Nobody gonna shine like us
(They flicker, flicker, flicker)
But they ain't gonna shine like us
Nobody gonna shine like you and me

This song made me realize that i am and i don't need validation from others but only from me, myself and I. I may not be perfect, but there's no other like me and that's all that matters! Thank you for this song Rina and everything that you do. And for taking your music into and even more personal approach. I can't wait to hear more from you! Love you girl, keep up the magnificent work!!!

    Now i'm gonna listen this on repeat CAUSE THIS IS A BANGER!!! 🔥🔥🔥

    From one person who's been struggling to another, I just want you to know how important you are in this world. You are resilient and no matter how hard things may get, you will always matter. I hope you have a better year this year and remember that even when things go wrong or you feel down, you are not alone and you deserve all of the kindness and care you seek. Take it easy, beautiful creature. And remember: You are not disposable. Nobody's gonna shine like you and me, so let's just keep shining. :)
