LordeAbout
On “The Path,” Lorde introduces us to her third studio album Solar Power with hyperspecific lines about her past and by rejecting the notion that celebrities can give people answers or truly help them heal.

The Path Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born in the year of OxyContin
Raised in the tall grass
Teen millionaire having nightmares from the camera flash
Now I'm alone on a windswept island
Caught in the complex divorce of the seasons
Won't take the call if it's the label or the radio
[Verse 2]
Arm in a cast at the museum gala
Fork in my purse to take home to my mother
Supermodels all dancing 'round a pharaoh's tomb
[Chorus]
Now if you're looking for a saviour, well, that's not me
You need someone to take your pain for you?
Well, that's not me
'Cause we are all broken and sad
Where arе the dreams that we had?
Can't find thе dreams that we had
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Let's hope the sun will show us the path, path
Let's hope the sun will show us the path, path
I just hope the sun will show us the path
Saviour is not me
I just hope the sun will show us the path
Saviour is not me
I just hope the sun will show us the path, path

What did Lorde say about "The Path"?
This was the first one I wrote for the album, and I always knew it would open it. I wanted to bring people right up to speed: This is where I’m at. This is the wave. As I get older, I feel the absurd nature of our modern life more every day, and some of the images in this song really play into that....
What was the songwriting process like for this song?
‘The Path,“ is one of the first songs I wrote for the album. I wrote this song alone in New Zealand. I had a little Yamaha DX, a tiny keyboard, and I would sit at home in the sun playing these chords trying to put together these disparate chunks of lyric that I had. I just felt like the absurd, beau...
