“Kicks” sees a departure from Lauren Aquilina’s piano-heavy style and ventures into a more poppy realm, with a retro beat thrown into the mix of piano-chords and hard drum kicks.
It served as the lead single from Aquilina’s debut album Isn’t It Strange? The accompanying video, directed by Weronika...
[Verse 1]
We got mixed emotions
And that's when things get complicated
Victims of the loneliness
Find themselves in the darkest places
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've been using me
To get what you need
But you know how I feel
And it's not fair
[Chorus]
Tell me where (hey)
Where do you get your kicks?
Is it from kicking me around
Cause it feels like that somehow
Tell me where (hey)
Where do you get your fix?
I think I've figured you out
I'm done being down about this (hey)
I'm done being down about this (hey)
I'm done being down
[Verse 2]
We're not on the same page
Expectations never clear
You're just looking for an escape
So why the hell you still here?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's not me you need
It's just the company
But you know how I feel
And it's not fair
[Chorus]
Tell me where (hey)
Where do you get your kicks?
Is it from kicking me around
Cause it feels like that somehow
Tell me where (hey)
Where do you get your fix?
I think I've figured you out
I'm done being down about this (hey)
I'm done being down about this (hey)
I'm done being down
[Bridge]
I got a heart that I can hear
Do you? Do you?
I can hear it loud and clear
Can you? Can you?
[Chorus]
Tell me where (hey)
Where do you get your kicks?
Is it from kicking me around (stop kicking me around)
Cause it feels like that somehow
Tell me where (hey)
Where do you get your fix?
I think I've figured you out
I'm done being down about this
I'm done being down about this
I'm done being down
[Outro]
(Stop kicking me around)
I'm done being down about this
I'm done being down (hey)

“#IsntItStrange track 3 – kicks. this song arrived relatively late in the game, last october. although the lyrics stemmed from my situation at the time, i realised as i was writing it that i was writing a direct message to quite a few people i’d met over the course of my life. it isn’t saying ‘i hat...
