NOT HUMAN Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw you there at night
Your shape appeared in the distance
Your face distorted in the light
And out of breath, I closely listened
Your hungry eyes glow with fire
And light up my humid hollow
Just like me, the treacherous kind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The warning's spelling out your name
The winds are shifting, are you in?
[Chorus]
Oh, oh! You make my waters flow
Now look how tall I grow
I'm not human
Oh, oh! With you, it's magical
The urge is animal
I'm not human
[Verse 2]
I felt you take a bite
Your calming voice silently whispered
How do you see your life in time?
And is it worth all of these blisters?
These broken limbs are worn and tired
But our words are not yet written
Our ember still burning inside
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The warning's spelling out your name
Are you ready to begin?
Morning will put out this flame
The winds are shifting, are you in?
[Chorus]
Oh, oh! You make my waters flow
Now look how tall I grow
I'm not human
Oh, oh! With you, it's magical
The urge is animal
I'm not human
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Oh, oh! You make my waters flow
Now look how tall I grow
I'm not human
Oh, oh! With you, it's magical
The urge is animal
I'm not human
[Outro]
I saw you there at night
Your shape appeared in the distance
Your face distorted in the light

What did ionnalee say about "NOT HUMAN"?
The song is an attempt to capture the raw essence of the most powerful parts of the self.
i first created the bassline on the drumbeat on bits and pieces played by Seth Haley (Com Truise) and it set a strong mood where the rest of the song could come to life. i wanted to let my vocals run free. the...
What has ionnalee said about the song?
“I don’t think people should feel secure in their expectations of me”, ionnalee says. This is, for example, why effervescent sophistidisco, ‘NOT HUMAN’ (which was co-written with Com Truise), comes to an abrupt, surprising end as though inadvertently paused and also why recent, contemplative single,...
