Track 1 off of Magdalena Bay’s sophomore studio album, ’She Looked Like Me!’ casts a perspective from someone who voyages to fight for their country, which in this case is America
But they are faced by their doppelgänger, who takes over their life whilst they are away
[Intro]
Hello
[Verse 1]
Down the line, over the waves
Two kids and a military
Turn their tongue, change their name
La love, born to marry
Crossed their hearts, crossing the earth
One year, then a baby's carried
Grows up young, screams at graves
Bang-bang and it's customary
Ordinary
[Verse 2]
Hang the war over the hearth
Five more in a house of many
Argentine Fabergé
La love, born unsteady
Kid hears ghosts singing his name
Likes guns and he's pistol-ready
That's his curse, that's my name
Hе sings up to the moon unchaining
[Verse 3]
I didn't know her when shе walked in
But I recognized her eyes
Her hair lifted as she stood still
Right there in the light
And she felt like a dream
I didn't know what to think
She looked like me
We stood mirrored 'til I leaned in
And then you know what she did
She shot at me like an earthbound bullet
And then she wrapped her hands around my neck and I felt love
Just ordinary love
Let me hold you in my arms
Oh, love, that old familiar drug
[Outro]
Bang-bang and it's customary
America stole my fate
La love and a baby carriage
Turned my tongue, changed my name
Bang-bang, born unsteady
Crossed my heart, crossed the earth
La love and a stone to carry
That's my curse, that's my name
Bang-bang and it's customary
Ordinary
