Flicker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never put your grimy hands on my steering wheel
Tryna jerk me off the road
I'll be the drive in my own life
Vigilant, self-assured, I know that makes you hard
But you can't run me off the road
Won't be fooled by my own heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Color me virginal
Color me all the perversions of
Someone who could cut you off, surgical
God, please be merciful
[Chorus]
'Cause I flicker between fear and a vision of forever
I flicker between fear and a vision of forever
That's too much time for you to change your mind
I flicker between fear and a vision of, vision of forever
[Verse 2]
I am mine and you are mine and I am not yours
I can drive a manual, flip it in reverse
Stutter, shudder, shift and mutter, watch you contort
But I'm the one and you're the other
Get the fuck out of my car
[Pre-Chorus]
Color me virginal
Color me all the perversions of
Someone who could cut you off, surgical
God, please be merciful
[Chorus]
'Cause I flicker between fear and a vision of forever
I flicker between fear and a vision of forever
That's too much time for you to change your mind
I flicker between fear and a vision of, vision of forever

What did Poppy say about "Flicker"?
The song was about feeling uncomfortable with love relationships and trying to understand why that was, and orchestrating in my mind the end before it happens. It’s a reminder to myself to live in the moment and not expect much from the future or a “forever”.
