About

According to Elio, this was the first song written for the album in Toronto on June 22, 2022 with Mathijs Kriebel. She described recording it as a therapy session centered around thoughts of ambition, always wanting more and never being satisfied with actually getting exactly what you want.

SELF DESTROYER!!! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smiling on a swing
When you were a kid
World in your palm
Tying up the string on your shoes that lit up when you would run

[Chorus]
Now here you are, people adore you
But when you call, your friends ignore you
When will you learn that you got what you wanted
Yeah, you can make it big, but it won't fix your problems
It's getting worse, your paranoia
Used to call your mom, but now you call your lawyer
You call it home, but it's just a hotel foyer
You got a lot of baggage
You're such a self-destroyer

[Verse 2]
High school was a bitch
Boyfriend was a dick
You hated the prom
And you thought that you could fix all the shit they did by proving them wrong

[Chorus]
Now here you are, people adore you
And you fell in love, but now you're touring
When will you learn that you got what you wanted
Yeah, you can make it big, but it won't fix your problems
You make it work, but it's torture
Schedule your life 'til another year is over
You call it home, but it's just a hotel foyer
You got a lot of baggage
You're such a self-destroyer

[Bridge]
I'll do everything that I wanted and probably more
And they say time can heal a broken heart
But I think that mine is more broken than it was before

[Chorus]
Now here I am, strangers adore me
Not what I thought it would be when I was 14
Wish I knew back then
Wish someone would have told me
I don't have to be lonely in order to be happy
Hope when I'm old I'll finally know me
I'll have a home, maybe a family
Writing this song sitting in a hotel foyer
Will only make this worse
God, I'm such a self-destroyer
Before you know it, you're gone

What did ELIO say about "SELF DESTROYER!!!"?

The first song I wrote specifically for this album. I wrote it with ​mathijs.iv in Toronto [on] June 22, 2022. A lot of this song is centered around ambition and my tendency to trap myself on a hedonic treadmill. it’s about always wanting more than what you have and never being satisfied. I question...
