Written to accompany a short animated film called ‘Escape’, ‘Magic Me’ is an uptemo song loaded with dynamics and a slightly unusual structure.
It was streamed ahead of release on the SupaPass service on April 22nd.
[Verse 1]
In the back of the beyond
From one eye of a storm to another
A cavernous unknown
For the seeds of survival we search
I muscle and man up
'Cause every bone in my body's got nowhere left
And when the strength bleeds out
It's the hopes and the dreams that hold on
[Chorus 1]
Magic me
You kill me, but I only get stronger
Magic me
Am I everything that's wrong in this world?
Feel my secret weapon fire
From your trigger-happy lies
Or give into love and save yourself
If you give into love
[Verse 2]
In crevasses of darkness
The hatred you harvest that feeds the fear
Angry, angry - whatever you might lose
Whatever you've gotta prove, it has nothing to do with me
With all of your might and your slyness
You vanish me and I disappear from view
But our enemies live within
So I sit pretty in the heart of you
[Chorus 2]
Magic me
You kill me, but I only get stronger
Magic me
Am I everything that's wrong in this world?
Feel my secret weapon fire
From your every trigger-happy lie
Or give into love and save yourself
If you give into love
[Bridge]
Send me off to space, but I'm not going away
Paint me out of the picture, but I'm not going away
Frame me for the blame, but I'm not going away
Cover up of the century
[Chorus 2]
Magic me
You kill me, but I only get stronger (I only get stronger)
Magic me
Am I everything that's wrong in this world?
Feel my secret weapon fire
From your every trigger-happy lie
Or give into love and save yourself
If you give into love and save yourself
So give into love
