‘The Opener’, was inspired by her experience supporting The 1975 on tour. She reflects, “I went on a month-long tour opening for The 1975, which was a dream come true. It was an amazing experience – but was also interesting to think about the job of an opener. Is it to warm up the crowd or just fill...
The Opener Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone spilled their beer on me
Wash it off, I rinse and repeat
Be sure to get here a little early
I'm playing right at 7:30
No one knows my name in this crowd
I'll sing my little nameless heart out
I'm putting on a damn good show
If it's the last thing I do
[Chorus]
I'm just the opener
That's all I'll ever be
I'm the opener
Talk right over me
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause the concert starts
The second I leave
[Verse 2]
Gotta learn to soak it all in
'Cause time is sand that's slowly slipping
Right through my fingers
Can't shut my mouth, I'm the lead singer
Working hard on the holiday
Third winter that I've spent away
I put my my life on pause
I'll stop and hold for applause
[Chorus]
I'm just the opener
That's all I'll ever be
I'm the opener
Full of apologies
[Post-Chorus]
When the credits roll
They won't include me
[Verse 3]
I don't know how to sing about sex
Those parts of my life don't intersect
I never understood
What they're all singing about
I'm staring at you from crowd
Hoping you will single me out
But that's not how it happens
Doing backflips doing backbends
Like a clown
[Chorus]
I'm just the opener
That's all I'll ever be
I'm the opener
Getting you off for free
[Post-Chorus]
When you find your way home
You'll forget about me
[Bridge]
'Cause I am full of cliches
And two note melodies
I'm a Radiohead rip off
I'd be huge in 1993
My hopes are up to nothing good
Relying on a reckless dream
I live and die for Hollywood
I sacrifice my self esteem
My hopes are doing nothing good
My hopes are doing nothing good for me
That should be me, that should be me
That should be
That should be me, that should be me
That should be
[Outro]
It sounds unrehearsed
Tried so hard, it hurts
Gonna get what I deserve
I'm still the opener
I'm still the opener
I'm still the opener
Someone spilled their beer on me

What did Wallice say about "The Opener"?
I started fragments of this song while touring opening for The 1975 in Australia and Asia last year. It was an amazing experience and time of my life but at the same time I dream of being the headliner and not just the opener that the crowd is talking over. I showed my friend David Marinelli, who I’...
