Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor (Devonport, Auckland, Nueva Zelanda, 7 de noviembre de 1996), más conocida por su nombre artístico Lorde, es una cantautora neozelandesa. A los 12 años de edad, firmó un contrato con la discográfica Universal Music, gracias a Scott Maclachlan, su futuro mánager.

[Verse]
N.C. I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold...
D My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones CGm It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me C I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire GmD And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits A#F So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn the holes Gm I'm going in (whole)
[Chorus]
Dm This is the start of how it all ends F They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the CDmGm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart Dm We rip the start, the colors disappear F I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them CDmGm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[Verse]
C I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds GmD And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now A#F People talk to me, and all their faces blur bright, I got my Gm Fingers laced together and I made a little prison F* And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me Gm I'm going in (whole)
[Chorus]
Dm This is the start of how it all ends F They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the CDmGm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart Dm We rip the start, the colors disappear F I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them CDmGm Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
[Outro]
Dm And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat F Sparking up my heart, oh oh oh CDmDm*/mute And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm
