“Accelerate” is the second song of Ten Love Songs. It’s going deep into the relationship, despite the consequences.
The song was teased on Tumblr as “Love #2”.
Pitchfork released the official music video (NSFW) on their channel September 19, as directed by Norwegian director Stian Anderson:
[Verse 1]
Many people will get hurt
Take your time, though, finish your dessert
Don't look evil right in the eye
If you can't, you can't
[Verse 2]
Wars erupting like volcanoes
Blood streaming down the walls
It's out of our hands, so baby let go
Let go and
[Chorus 1]
Take it off, hit me hard like a drum
This must be paradise 'cause I am numb
Let's have fun, let's have fun
[Verse 3]
Bear the cross, die for love
Crucify them, kill for love
Pray the gods will turn back time if you care
To dare
[Chorus 2]
Or stop the clock, whatever turns you on
This must be paradise 'cause I can't count
What's the time? What's the cost?
What's your price? Faces off
[Bridge]
Start the car
Don't look back
Accelerate
We're out of time
[Chorus 3]
Start the car, don't look back, accelerate
This must be paradise 'cause we can't fake
It's too late, it's too strong
It's all we've got, it's a siren song
