erase me is an upbeat pop song that joins doomsday in marking a sharp change in Lizzy’s sound as she shifts towards a more highly-produced, pop-focused style and away from her better-known more intimate style that primarily features guitar and Lizzy’s vocals.
Understated yet rich harmonies unmistak...
[Verse 1: Lizzy McAlpine]
Why am I awake?
Nails on the floor and soot on my tongue
I don't know his name, but I still taste the rum (Rum, rum, rum, rum)
Nothin’ there but skin
Skeletons crawl on the ceiling, they know
That him and his aftershave hit like a drug (Drug, drug, hmm)
[Chorus: Lizzy McAlpine, Lizzy McAlpine & Jacob Collier]
Don't answer me, I'm callin’ just to hear you scream
And you're fadin', but he feels like you in between
I've said too much, in and out of wantin' us
Now, you're fadin' and I wonder who will erase me?
Who will erase me? Mmm-mmm, mmm
[Verse 2: Lizzy McAlpine]
Race you to the end (Oh-woah)
My innocence waits like it desperately knows
That I'll crash if I don’t lеt you go (Go)
[Chorus: Lizzy McAlpine, Lizzy McAlpine & Jacob Collier]
Don’t answer me, I'm callin’ just to hear you scrеam
And you're fadin', but he feels like you in between
I've said too much, in and out of wantin’ us (In and out of wantin' us)
Now, you're fadin' (Fadin') and I wonder who will erase me?
[Bridge: Lizzy McAlpine]
Erase me?
Erase me?
And I wonder who will erase me?
[Chorus: Lizzy McAlpine, Lizzy McAlpine & Jacob Collier, Jacob Collier]
Don't answer me, I'm callin' just to hear you scream
And you're fadin', but he feels like you in between
I've said too much, in and out of wantin' us
Now, you're fadin' and I wonder who will erase—
Don't answer me, I'm callin' just to hear you scream (Scream)
And you're fadin' (Fadin'), but he feels like you in between
And I've said too much, in and out of wantin' us (In and out of wantin' us)
Now, you're fadin' (Fadin') and I wonder who will erase me?
Oh, who will erase me?

The video for ‘erase me’ really encapsulates the meaning behind the song because it shows the aftermath of a breakup. You fill the space that person left with strangers in an attempt to forget. At the end of the video, we see that it didn’t work because I end up back at the school from my previously...
After a breakup it feels easiest to seek comfort in the beds of strangers but that almost never makes you feel better. It makes you feel lonelier because there’s ‘nothing there but skin.’ This song explores that feeling, along with the idea that the person you love could replace you too, and there’s...
