Charli xcx and Ariana Grande join forces for the remix of Charli’s “Sympathy is a knife,” off of her album BRAT. The single seems to be against the ever-present stan culture and the raving desires of watching somebody fall once they find themselves on top.
Grande’s inclusion on the album itself bei...
[Verse 1: Charli xcx]
I-i-i-i-it's a knife when you know they're waitin' for you to choke
It's a knife when a journalist does a misquote
It's a knife when a friend is suddenly steppin' on your throat
It's a kn— when they say that you've been doing things you don't-don't
It's a knife when your old friends hate your new friends
When somebody says, "Charli, I think you've totally changed"
It's a knife when somebody says they like the old me and not the new me
And I'm like, "Who the fuck is she?"
[Pre-Chorus: Charli xcx]
'Cause it's a knife when you're finally on top
'Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall to the bottom
It's a knife when you're finally on top (On top)
'Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall-fall-fall
[Chorus: Charli xcx]
I-i-i-i-it's a knife when
It's a knife when, it's a knife when (When, when)
All this sympathy is just a knife when (When)
It's a knife when, it's a knife when (When, when)
All this sympathy is just a—
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
It's a knife when you know they're counting on your mistakes
It's a knife when you're so pretty, they think it must be fake (Mm)
It's a knife when they dissect your body on the front page (Mm, ooh)
It's a knife when they won't believe you, why should you explain? (Yeah)
It's a knife when the mean fans hate the nice fans
When somebody says, "Ari, I think you've totally changed" (No shit)
(It's a knife) When somebody says they like the old me and not the new me
And I'm like, "Who the fuck is she?"
[Pre-Chorus: Charli xcx & Ariana Grande, Ariana Grande]
'Cause it's a knife when you're finally on top (On top)
'Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall to the bottom
It's a knife when you're finally on top (On top, ooh)
'Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall-fall-fall
[Chorus: Charli xcx & Ariana Grande]
I-i-i-i-it's a knife when (It's a knife when)
It's a knife when (It's a knife when)
It's a knife when (When, when)
All this sympathy is just a knife when (It's a knife when)
It's a knife when (It's a knife when)
It's a knife when (Ah)
All this sympathy is just a kn—
[Outro: Charli xcx & Ariana Grande]
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All the things I've said are just a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife (Mm)
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
Yeah (Mm)
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife (Mm, yeah, mm)
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All the things I've said are just a knife (Mm, yeah, mm)
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife-knife-knife-knife-knife (Mm, yeah, mm)
