The seventh, and final song on ella jane’s first EP, THIS IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! “through the looking glass” explores a relationship tinged with violence and obsession.
[Verse 1]
I fall asleep inside your arms
Oh, it's a scary kind of warmth
There's suicide behind your eyes
But you look so good (Ooh)
If I could crawl up in your bones
It'd be a different kind of home
I'm fighting fire everywhere I go
But it burns so good (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
So let me fall back down again
So I can be at your feet
And let me drink your poison
So I can see what you see
[Chorus]
So change, change the rhythm of my heart
Tell my story where to start and where to end
'Cause without you I'll forget
I can't change, change myself with my own hands
Take your knife and carve me over, and ovеr again (Mm)
[Verse 2]
And if you're lying, I don't mind
If I can fake it, then I'll try
Your gildеd crown, your perfect crime
Oh, you got me good (Ooh)
I think about you all the time
You're like a movie in my mind
I play your part and press rewind
And I look so good (Ooh)
[Chorus]
So change, change the rhythm of my heart
Tell my story where to start and where to end
'Cause without you I'll forget
I can't change, change myself with my own hands
Take your knife and carve me over and over again (Mm)
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
I feel it closing in
Let the end begin
And change the rhythm of my heart
Tell my story where to start and where to end
'Cause I'm trying to forget
