about

Anger, anxiety and absolution combine in ‘LOOK’. Built on top of a propulsive club chassis, LVRA whispers seductive exhalations, before launching into a blistering chorus, screaming against the creatures that pull on our insecurities. ‘LOOK’ reaches for catharsis, using those same doubts as ammunition to destroy every anxiety until there’s nobody left but herself, assured in her self-confidence.


"I wanted to write something to capture the flurry of emotions that I feel when I'm out clubbing. LOOK is about the overwhelming anxiety of other people's eyes watching, judging, and subsequently the safety that I feel these spaces provide to express yourself fully and freely. It's about that warm feeling when the lights hit you; when being seen isn't so scary anymore."

lyrics

I like it hard like that
Give me a heart attack
I wanna feel it come rushing
And slipping and dripping
All over my artefacts

Yeah, 'cus I
Know that you can be a little shy
But you don't have to worry I don't
Bite bite bite

Look at these cold eyes
Red lines
On my lips
Look at the bright lights
On me
I'm in bliss
Oh damn don't you wanna
Find what you're missing
Wanna have it all but
That's none of your business

(Scream)
I need to get this out my system
(Scream)
Oh but if only you had listened
These creatures won't stop looking at me
Pick them off one by one till we
Free up the dance floor
Now what you gonna look for

(Look at the bright,
Bright,
Bright,
Bright
Bright lights) x2

I'm collecting your attention
pile that shit like ammunition
It's so vivid
All my visions
Grill you up
Till your delicious
It's so vicious
Call a witness
Tell em
Mind your fucking
Business
Can't you just listen?

(Talking) but I guess like maybe in another life
We would have been perfect for each other and i would have held your hand
Walked into the sunset
And looked into your eyes and realised that
I don't even know you

(Scream)
I need to get this out my system
(Scream)
Oh but if only you had listened
These creatures won't stop looking at me
Pick them off one by one till we
Free up the dance floor
Now what you gonna look for


(Look at the bright,
Bright,
Bright,
Bright
Bright lights) x2

Ha hallelujah
I finally found a winner
We're gonna live forever
Together
X3

Ha hallelujah I finally found a winner, yay
