[Chorus]
(Tell me that you love me right)
I need you to always let me land
(Tell me that you love me right)
Falling into pieces like I planned
(Tell me that you love me right)
It's hard to love myself when I demand
(Tell me that you love me right)
More from you, I sink in the quicksand
The quicksand
The quicksand
More from you, I sink in the quicksand
[Verse 1]
I was young, I was greedy
And I said what I wanted
I was stealing and flaunting
All my things, on my way
Climbing the ladder, yeah (Ladder)
Glass ceiling won't shatter (Shatter)
Consumed by the chatter (Chatter)
In my head
Getting madder and madder
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that if I reached the top
I would break through and be enough
The more I climbed the more I sunk
I sunk
[Chorus]
(Tell me that you love me right)
I need you to always let me land
(Tell me that you love me right)
Falling into pieces like I planned
(Tell me that you love me right)
It's hard to love myself when I demand
(Tell me that you love me right)
More from you, I sink in the quicksand
The quicksand
The quicksand
More from you, I sink in the quicksand
[Verse 2]
Scarcity, my manifesto
Victim, I can't overthrow
Culture won't intercept though
Dote on me, I'm feeling alone
Counting on what I don't own
I got imposter syndrome, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that if I reached the top
I would break through and be enough
Now I know, nervous system
Swallows me, won't listen
[Chorus]
(Tell me that you love me right)
I need you to always let me land
(Tell me that you love me right)
Falling into pieces like I planned
(Tell me that you love me right)
It's hard to love myself when I demand
(Tell me that you love me right)
More from you, I sink in the quicksand
(Tell me that you love me right)
The quicksand
The quicksand
(Tell me that you love me right)
More from you, I sink in the quicksand
[Outro]
(Tell me that you love me right)
The quicksand
The quicksand
(Tell me that you love me right)
More from you, I sink in the quicksand

“Quicksand” is about accepting yourself as you are and allowing love in. Having the safety and grounding of a love that allows you to take risks, go forward and break through the limitations and barriers that the world places on us, and that we internalise. The metaphor is that even when you appear...
