“Before the fever” (originally stylised as B4 the Fever) is the ninth track on Grimes' fifth studio album Miss Anthropocene.
In the song, Grimes sings in her lower registers over a deep bassline and slow moving electric guitars. Indeed, “Before the fever” is one of the slowest and darkest sounding...
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
I tease my little ashtray
With a burning cigarette
I don't want to run away

I get lost (Can you get lost with me, baby?)
(Lost)
(I get lost) (Lost with me, baby?)
(I get lost)
(There's a way through, ooh)
(There's always a way through)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
