[Verse]
Mirror, mirror
Dancing in between the lines
I can see her face sometimes
On the other side
Child
Who invited you inside?
Comfortable in all my time
There's no space for me
[Chorus]
You're so pretty when you're on your knees
Caroline (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
I forgive you (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
Caroline (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
I don't blame you anymore (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
Caroline (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
I forgive you (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
Caroline (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
I don't blame you anymore (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
Blame you anymore (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Outro]
Blame you anymore (Hm-hm-hm)
Blame you anymore (Hm-hm-hm)

“Our sonic inspiration for the track was French alt-pop duo Love Supreme. Lately, we’ve been experimenting with spacious sonic texture and playing around with building tension and releasing it in a way that feels unexpected.”
— YAS via Soundcloud
I picked the name ‘Caroline’ to give an identity to my childhood fears and developmental traumas–something I believe we all carry into adulthood. By personifying these traumas, it makes it easier to acknowledge and ultimately forgive those parts of you.
— YAS via One’s To Watch
‘caroline’ opens up as an intimate conversation that descends into a chaotic mess of sound. At the climax, the tension releases into a moment of sonic and emotional clarity. Ultimately, this song is about trying to make peace with your inner child.
