The lyrics in “Prime” are rich with imagery, exploring a youthful, fast-paced lifestyle set to a hard-hitting electro beat.
Allie stated that the song is mainly about how she thinks about her body and appearance, but also how the song reflects upon youth being “the time when we all inherently belie...
[Verse 1]
Optical illusion, sexual confusion
In the best way
Liberal perception, premature connection
Always hearsay, always hearsay
[Pre-Chorus]
We are in the prime of our existence
(But I think you know the truth, it's you)
We are running blind with no resistance
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Why not give it a try?
Be a beautiful monstrosity
When you're just getting by
And happily terminal
Yeah, breathe it in 'til we're high
Healthy isn't fun or amusing
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
[Post-Chorus]
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
[Verse 2]
Fresh intoxication, retro retaliation
Do you feel me? Do you feel me?
Body, mind pollution, electro execution
Can you kill me? Can you kill me?
Eh-eh-eh-eh
[Pre-Chorus]
We are in the prime of our existence
(But I think you know the truth, it's you)
We are running blind with no resistance
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Why not give it a try?
Be a beautiful monstrosity
When you're just getting by
And happily terminal
Yeah, breathe it in 'til we're high
Healthy isn't fun or amusing
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
[Post-Chorus]
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
[Bridge]
In the prime (You are my medicine)
Prime (You are my history)
This is the prime
Oh, I've got a feeling that it won't be long
Got to get enough before my time is up (You are my medicine)
This is the prime
Oh, I've got a feeling that it won't be long
Got to get enough before my time is up (You are my history)
[Chorus]
Why not give it a try?
Be a beautiful monstrosity
When you're just getting by
And happily terminal
Yeah, breathe it in 'til we're high
Healthy isn't fun or amusing
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
[Post-Chorus]
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
[Outro]
You are my medicine, you are my history
You are my medicine, you are my history
Forget what I need, give me what I want
And it should be fine
