“Downhill Lullaby” is Sky Ferreira’s haunting comeback single. Sky said the song draws inspiration from a “vision of water in darkness.”
The song showcases a string melody throughout, with Sky’s low and biting vocals wrapped around a deep, dark bass line.

[Verse 1]
You leave me open when you hit me
No one can hear me, then you hurt me
To say that you're not going down there, too
I can see that you want me going downhill, too
[Chorus]
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
[Verse 2]
You ripped me open, then you kissed me
Blue lips and roses that you left me
The gag and the bind, the perfecting of the ruse
Yeah, I walked with the fire
All the lifeblood and desire
Slowly stifled by somber fumes
I adore the bludgeoned affection
Come and teach me a lesson
All the things I offer you
[Chorus]
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
[Outro]
You leave me open when you hit me

You can say what you want
You can say what you want
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby

Lakes kind of terrify me. In a lake, by yourself, you look at the bottom and it’s murky and still and you can’t really see anything or feel anything—and if you do, it’...
