Drawing an enlivened comparison to the Japanese pottery technique kintsugi, the mending of a broken vase with gold, silver, or platinum, Aplin honors her own scars from her past for building her mature, content self.
Aplin has visited and toured in Japan six times, leading up to this power-pop trib...
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I got a smile on my face
Sometimes I guess that I've gotta fake it
'Cause honesty is so out of place
And everyone's afraid to be naked
I don't know how much more I can take
Yeah, I'm broken into so many pieces
Would be easy just to throw them away
But I don't wanna give up on feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause now that I'm shattered, I'm all kinds of me
Was knocked off the shelf, but I'm also complete
I'm under the weather with no place to be
But maybe that's just what I need (Kintsugi)
[Chorus]
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue, me back together (Oh)
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
I'm broken, b-b-broken, but I'm ready to feel better (Better)
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
[Post-Chorus]
All my scars are golden
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me back together (Yeah)
All my scars are golden
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
[Verse 2]
My life will be a map you can trace
Every little part of the story
Make it beautiful and golden with grace
But keep a little stain to remind me
[Pre-Chorus]
That even when I mess up, that mess is still me
Was knocked off the shelf, but I'm also complete
I'm under the weather with no place to be
But maybe that's just what I need (Kintsugi)
[Chorus]
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me back together (Oh)
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
I'm broken, b-b-broken, but I'm ready to feel better (Better)
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
[Post-Chorus]
All my scars are golden
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me back together (Yeah)
All my scars are golden
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me back together
[Bridge]
(Ah, all my scars are golden)
I'm under the weather with no place to be
But maybe that's just what I need (Kintsugi)
[Chorus]
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me back together (Oh)
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
I'm broken, b-b-broken, but I'm ready to feel better (Better)
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Kintsugi)
[Post-Chorus]
All my scars are golden
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me back together (Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah)
All my scars are golden
Glue me back together, glue, glue, glue me (Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah, kintsugi)
[Outro]
(Nobody need you [?])
All my scars are golden (Nobody need you [?])
