In summer 2017 Nilüfer played an early version of the song at the TEDxTeen event. Before starting her set, she explains that the song is “quite a weird one, it’s kinda about like suppressing your feelings and not being able to feel all the normal things, like joy and pain.”
[Verse 1]
So don't look so surprised
When I know where you've been
What's that look in your eyes?
Gonna spend all your wins
Until they're vaporised
Oh, and all the loss
Some men they call the show
Then I wonder what you cost
[Chorus]
Again, again, again, again
Do you like pain?
Again, again, again, again
Again, oh, again
Do you like pain?
[Verse 2]
Baby luv, I tried
But I cannot forgive
I'm crazy all inside
So I'm leaving you with him
Sun bleached and dusty white
No one sees it's, so unfair
You're still beautiful
I could watch you comb your hair
[Chorus]
Again, again, again, again
Do you like pain?
Again, again, again, again
Again, oh, again
Do you like pain?
[Verse 3]
So don't act so surprised
When I know where you've been
What's that look in your eyes?
Gonna spend all your sins
Until they're vaporised
Forever, I'll recall
Upon your old rooftop
As we watch our city fall
[Chorus]
Again, again, again, again
Do you like pain?
Again, again, again, again
Again, oh, again
Do you like pain?
[Bridge]
That blue Ferrera
Depot, you never
Saw skyline better
Call me sometime
Light blue Ferrera
I'll bet you'll never
Call me sometime
Call me sometime
Call me sometime
Call me
Call me sometime
Call me sometime
Call me sometime
Call me sometime
[Chorus]
Again, again, again, again
Do you like pain?
Again, again, again, again
Again, oh, again
Do you like pain?
[Chorus]
Again, again, again, again
Do you like pain?
Again, again, again, again
Again, oh, again
Do you like pain?
