On “Mood Ring,” Lorde satirically sings about the ways in which people try to stay emotionally and spiritually connected to themselves and the world. A mood ring is a ring that changes its color depending on the temperature of the person wearing it, reflecting the current emotional state of the bear...
Mood Ring Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm tryna blow bubbles, but inside
Can't seem to fix my mood
Today, it's as dark as my roots
If I, if I ever let them grow out (Ah-ah)
Now all of my oceans have riptides
Can't seem to find what's wrong
The whole world is letting me down
Don't you think the early 2000s seem so far away? (Ay-ay-ay-ay)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Transcendental in your meditations (Love and light)
You can burn sage and I'll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows (Blows just right)
[Chorus]
I can't feel a thing
I keep looking at my mood ring
Tell me how I'm feeling
Floating away, floating away
[Verse 2]
I'm tryna get well from the inside
Plants and celebrity news, all the vitamins I consume
Let's fly somewherе eastern, they'll havе what I need (They'll have what I need)
Let's go
[Pre-Chorus]
Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Pluto in Scorpio generation (Love and light)
You can burn sage and I'll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows (Blows just right, ri-ri-ri-right)
[Chorus]
I can't feel a thing
I keep looking at my mood ring
Tell me how I'm feeling
Floating away, floating away
All the sad girls sing
We'll keep dancing 'til the mood rings
Tell us how we're feeling
Floating away, floating away
[Outro]
Take me to some kinda
Take me to some kinda
Take me to some kinda place (Anywhere)
Watch the sun set, look back on my life (Take me to some kinda)
I just wanna know, will it be alright? (Take me to some kinda)
Take me to some kinda place (Anywhere)

What inspired this song's theme and lyrical content?
This is a song I am very excited about, it’s so much fun to me. Obviously when making this album I did a deep-dive into ’60s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. That really resonated to me when writing this album. One t...
What have the artists said about the song?
I realised I had to write this song late last year — I kept waking up in the night and writing lines of lyric into my phone, which is how I usually know something’s gonna become a song.
It was really interesting distilling some thoughts on wellness culture and the search for spiritual meaning in ou...
What else have the artists said about the song?
It’s full satire, inhabiting a person who’s feeling really lost and disconnected in the modern world and is trying to feel well, however she can. I felt like so many people would be able to relate to that. It was funny and gnarly to write. The melodies and the production were a great blend of that e...
Is this song satirical?
Making Solar Power I got kind of obsessed with New Age culture and flower children. A major parallel between that time and ours that I picked up on is wellness culture… the practices we all dabble in to try and feel physically or spiritually healthy. Eating paleo, burning sage, reading tarot, cleans...
