Tove Styrke

[National Anthem 9,904]

Yeah this album is so incredible I could go on and on. "Decay", "Snaren" and "Brag" are highlights for me but every song is basically perfect except "Samurai Boy".

[comeintomybedroom 8,656]

Honestly a fan. I really enjoy every song minus Even If I'm Loud and Brag, but they're not awful after I've just gotten used to them. The first half of the album is just perfect.

Her debut's really good too. Does anyone have Million Pieces (2012 version), Sticks and Stones, and Bad Time for a Good Time feat. Gnucci Banana? I think that's all I'm missing from the album's like three rereleases.

[Pretend 367]

Here's the album lyrics and credits taken from the booklet 

 

 

Ain't Got No

Me be so self-sufficient

Losing all self control

We ain't got the time

While pushing us all around

We ain't got no time to get old

Me ain't got no time, no

 

Me be my bold ambition

Leaning towards dreams of gold

Me ain't got no time

While pushing my soul around

Me ain't got no time to get old

Me ain't got no time, no

 

Send it up, send it out

Baby write it on the wall

Send it up, send it out

Do you really wanna know

I just wanted you to see

I just thought that you should know

 

Me be my own suspicion

Sorry can't save my soul

Me ain't got no time

While pushing my soul around

Me ain't got no time for control

 

Send it up, send it out

Baby write it on the wall

Send it up, send it out

Do you really wanna know

I just wanted you to see

I just thought that you should know

Send it out to me baby

Baby let go of control

Snaren

You're gonna be hit alright

If you don't wanna step aside

Boy you left room for no one I think it's time

You're gonna be hit alright

If you don't wanna step aside

You move those hips alright now step down

 

3 you know it 2

Just 1 little step or you're through 

Boom

Chin up, curtain goes down

Don't be sad, you know you're the man

Face up, take look around

Rest your eyes on somebody else

You're gonna be hit alright, I know you

Don't wanna be hit alright

You need to step aside, mister

Please just step aside

 

You're gonna be hit alright

If you don't wanna step aside

Boy you, you really need to step aside

i swear it's time

7 you know

6 your group of

5 is not better

4 the crowd

Than 3 of mine

You know it 2 hun

Just 1 little step and you're through

Run

 

Take a step to the left

No not to the right

You better scootch for a queen b

Out of my sight

Step down from your pedestal, be good

Or else you do need to worry, definitely should

Ego

I've been watching you as of lately

Walking around like you're something to talk about

Like you bought in to your own hype

Used to be just you and me baby

Running around like we had it all figured out

There's nothing left behind those eyes

 

Why...

You living such a lie...

 

I wanna hold you but you're untouchable

Too cool, caught up in your ego

I wanna love you but you're making it impossible

Wanna believe in you but you're so far gone

Did you forget where you came from

I wanna love you but you're making it impossible

 

When did you decide to get shady

I wanna know the moment you changed to someone new

I hate that you've become that type

Holding on to moments of maybe

Thinking about it, there's nothing to figure out

I see you gave in without a fight

Samurai Boy

I got drums in my galaxy

It sounds like anarchy

I fell down down down

From a coma dream

Into your arms

 

Oh lord can you hear my voice

Keep looking out for my samurai boy

 

Oh lord if you hear my voice

Keep looking out for my samurai boy

 

Falling down a pyramid

Don't you know I'm such a kid

Can't remember what we did

Let's do it again

 

Oh lord can you hear my voice

Keep looking out for my samurai boy

 

I get guns in my symphony

It sounds like a melody

I fell down down down

From a cherry tree

Into yoru arms

Borderline

The boys of the empire

They set my head on fire

Pull the plug sire

I'll spit fire

 

Gents of the empire

Strangle my desire

Pull the plug sire

And I'll spit fire

 

I'm borderline happy and

I'm borderline sad

I'm borderline good

and I'm borderline bad

And I can't get rid of a tingling fear

You'd sort me out if my head gets clear

I live my life in shackles

but I'm borderline free

I used to be blind and I still can't see

And I won't get around in a change of mind

As long as nobody breaks my stride

 

Tricks of the empire

Make happy kids aim higher

Higher up they wet fire

Fools of the empire

 

I went to school in the empire

Learnt the rules from a brat sire

I be a fool of the empire

'Til I break loose spread fire

Burn it down

Who's Got News

Who's got news for who

Who are you to know how to behave

I got news for you

Do you know what it feels like when a heart is breaking

You call yourself a savior but nothing in your behavior is true

Nothing is true

 

You say you fix what is broken

Do you know what's broken

You don't know what is broken

That's what'll break you

 

You can close what is open

Do you know what you're closing

You the one that was chosen

But I'd never choose you

Number One

Praise cool, I'm sorry but there's no can do

My youth ain't tangled up in bad decisions

 

Poor you, you thought you could dictate the rules

Bohoo

 

You're only eighteen

But a killing machine

Drain the noise of the bullshit

With stamps to the beat

 

Oh my, the world's on fire and maybe I'm just chasing rhymes

Taking is easy and I don't care where it leads me baby

Oh my the more I try the closer I get to wasting time

No one ever wants to give you some

But everybody loves a number one

 

Hot glam seems far away from where I am

I can neither understand it nor emand it

 

Your tears don't shake my world like Britney Spears

She's fierce

 

I don't praise your cool

There's just no can do

And it's that easy

Baby can't you see

You got nothing on me

It's just that easy

Even If I'm Loud It Doesn't Mean I'm Talking To You

I think I hit a nerve when I burst solitude

Palooka set in motion and it's drowning you

I know you feel that pop doesn't really have a clue

But even if I'm loud it doesn't mean I'm talking to you

 

You educated now but you never stand a chance

Sophisticated ain't helping you to do the dance

I think you're stuck in that me myself and I romance

But that's too wild for you mean to understand

 

You got a true mad deep big crush on yourself

I hope you hit the ground hard when you fell for yourself

You got that cross armed posture such a sorry sight

If you do shit like that I don't need to be nice

 

I got my half ass rhymes to set me free

That's why you never ever ever can get to me

I sense my loolycommotions like a brick at you

But even if I'm loud it doesn't mean I'm talking to you

 

Nah can't take it

Imma break it

I'm gonna shake it off me now

Within twenty-seven minutes I'm gonna shake it liek a diva

Burn

Honey I know that we're in deep

But now I can see clear your tricks are cheap

Baby is gunning for a new friend

Honey I know you're a fine one

Your mother's done good when she raised her son

But now he's out gunning for a new friend

Baby is gunning for a new friend

 

You better run out like you mean it

Oh no, can you feel it

Now everything's broken so beat it

Tear it apart, burn it up

Well now baby no there's no comeback

Everything's gone and it won't come back

Baby you're outrun you feel it

Burn it up, break it up

 

Honey you sure where you're heart stays

It's an art to never have the last say

Babe are you gunning for a new friend

And honey I know where you run to

The smell of city haze and something new

Lingers with you like an old friend

Babe are you gunning for a new friend

 

I need to go right

I have this thing right

I need to leave

You understand right

I'll be back soon

Don't pressure me now

I need to go

I need to leave

Don't pressure me now

Decay

I'm at war with nothing in a place that's not around

I will sneak my way in, pass the beeps not make a sound

They will search my bag, find the bullets not the gun

What if they knew that my AK's made of glue and good wishes from my own

 

Babe I'll take the fast train

They'll be waiting in the black rain

Only thing to kill for is me and you

This city claims the crazy

And there's no one here to save me

Everything decays unless it's true

 

There's a big bang bombing at a place no one can find

Now I'm on my way to a war I should have left behind

Like the ouches and the aches and mistakes that can't be undone

I'll be there they'll wait for me, my bullets and my gun

 

And I heard 'em say...

Walking A Line

You a tricky kinda witty little furious psycho

It isn't easy to be breezy with a curious mind no

But when the dummies come around you will give it a go go

 

Hijack the idea of a girl that obeys

Hahahaha oh my

Laugh it in the face

 

And I'm biding my time

I'm walking a line

Yeah I'll walk in a line

I'm making it mine

 

And you stumble sometimes when you walk in a line

You walk in a line

And it's hard ot unwind when you're faking a crie

You walk in aline

 

You get the feeling they're believing you can trigger the mofos

And when they get you they won't let you have a say if you say so

You wanna roll with it, go with it, bring it to control

 

Hijack the idea of mysterious ways

Hahahaha oh my

Laugh it in the face

Brag

I gotta tell, don't mean to be rude

I got it all and nothing to prove

You gotta worry, gotta stand out

I got the fix though turn it up loud

 

I'm gonna be okay so to say

Gonna be okay

I just gimme something to say and I'll be okay

 

I don't brag about my great life

Don't brag about sharp style

Just little things that set my head on fire

No need for me to shout it out

I don't brag about my bright mind

Just pointing at my insight

Don't brag about my sweet lalalalalife

No need for me to spell it out

 

You gotta worry, you gotta care

I got a lot, I'm eager to share

I got the perfect angle at last

I gotta show I'm having a blast

 

I don't brag about my tricks honey I'm like

I swear I never had the doubts I

Nah I don't brag about the kicks in the limelight

I never talk about the downsides

The verses are optimum bad bitch moments! And the production, esp at the ending. It's just overall got vibes for days even if it's less of a straight up bop.

Really enjoying her debut album at the moment. "White Light Moment" is undeniable anthem material.

[comeintomybedroom 8,656]

She's so cute like https://instagram.com/p/4ZQDgNQuK7/

Kiddo outshined The Fool for me. And it's funny because I was barely feeling Tove's EP and I really liked Ryn's EP.
