Lorde - Liability

 

 

Lorde - Liability

 

Baby really hurt me
Crying in the taxi
He don't wanna know me
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Says it was poison
So I guess I'll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please
But she's a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands
Play at romance, we slow dance
In the living room, but all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone
Stroking her cheek

 

They say, "You're a little much for me
You're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for
E-a-na-na-na, everyone

 

The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore
And then they are bored of me
I know that it's exciting
Running through the night, but
Every perfect summer's
Eating me alive until you're gone
Better on my own

 

They say, "You're a little much for me
You're a liability
You're a little much for me"
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I'm a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I'm a little much for
E-a-na-na-na, everyone

 

They're gonna watch me
Disappear into the sun
You're all gonna watch me
Disappear into the sun

작년 한 해 동안 밤에 자전거 타면서, 새벽에 수영 가면서 가장 많이 들었던 로드의 Liability. 이 노래만 들으면 아직도 자전거 타며 느꼈던 서울의 밤 공기가 느껴지고, 수영 가는 길에 맞던 아침 해가 그려진다. 자신을 장난감으로 묘사하며 사람들에게 버려지고 이용 당해지는 내용을 담은 가사가 슬픈 곡이다.
