Flip Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here’s to the one with the smoking stare
Running through my head with a bolo knife
Chopping up the threads made up from looms
Of love and blood and hate and some empty tunes
Eyes killer cold and black and bare
Freaky little tooth hanging solo
Sucking at the walls like a rolo now
Making a cocoon where my brain fits
[Chorus]
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back with a club and attack
I wanna take to my guns and break you
I gotta make my little foe take his own
[Chorus]
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back with a club and attack
I wanna take to my guns and break you
I gotta make my little foe take his own
[Verse 2]
I’m overgrown with a yellow mold
Just fizzing drones in a hollow dome
My funny nose dripping little groans
I’m so so cold in the marrow of my bones
I look at you as you take a snooze
Your skinny lips dripping rabid goo
I lift your chin and I grin at you
As you come to, man
I’m running round your head with a bolo knife
[Chorus 2]
I’m gonna go back, I’m gonna go back
I’m gonna go back to a face no more mask
I was in full bloom until I met you
I’m gonna shake my fetters, I’m breaking loose
[Chorus 2]
I’m gonna go back, I’m gonna go back
I’m gonna go back to a face no more mask
I was in full bloom until I met you
I’m gonna shake my fetters, I’m breaking loose
[Chorus 2]
I’m gonna go back, I’m gonna go back
I’m gonna go back to a face no more mask
I was in full bloom until I met you
I’m gonna shake my fetters, I’m breaking loose

What did Glass Animals say about "Flip"?
“Get your big speakers out for this one. Or some big headphones. I think the idea for this beat was sparked by an old FlyLo track. I don’t even remember what it’s called now, but it was a bass-heavy monster. The first half of the track is quite mellow but is meant to build tension, and then it all c...
