Anastasia Elliot based this song after her real-life experience with a plane crash. The song continues the story from her previous single, Cigarettes & Gasoline, and delves further into a “journey of love, trauma, and healing.”
[Verse 1]
Nine lives
We all want nine lives
To rise up from the ashes
To come back from the dead
More time
We all want more time
To go on when there’s nothing left
But following the light
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And then without a warning
I hear the sirens calling
Look up; we’re falling from the sky
[Chorus]
Faking our suicide
Gonna come back to another life
Of cocaine-sugared hearts and a sinner’s parade
Does anybody know where we are?
We’re going down, falling off the radar
Hold onto me tight, brace yourself
For a crash landing
[Verse 2]
Scream out
I’m screaming out loud
The lights are flashing, fire is burning
I saw all the signs, but I missed the warnings
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The smoke is choking us
It’s thicker than I thought it was
What’s that we said about more time?
[Chorus]
Faking our suicide
Gonna come back to another life
Of cocaine-sugared hearts and a sinner’s parade
Does anybody know where we are?
We’re going down, falling off the radar
Hold onto me tight, brace yourself
For a crash landing
[Bridge]
And then without a warning
I hear the sirens calling
Look up; we’re falling from the sky
[Chorus]
Faking our suicide
Gonna come back to another life
Of cocaine-sugared hearts and a sinner’s parade
Does anybody know where we are?
We’re going down, falling off the radar
Hold onto me tight, brace yourself
For a crash landing
