Ellie Goulding - Power Lyrics

Ellie Goulding Lyrics

"Power"

Painted to pure perfection
We had a real connection
Bodies aching, overtaken
You kept me at a distance
Not asking any questions
Fingers pressing, learning lessons

Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)

No, I'm not chasing paper
And I'm not faking neither
Take me higher or this will expire
Your self obsessions boring
Sorry if I'm ignoring
Mindless actions lead to destruction

Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)

Everything you do is so cruel (Power)
Taking me for a fool (Power)
Making me need a new fix
Making me worship you
Everything you do is so cruel (Power)
Taking me for a fool (Power)
Making me need a new fix
Making me worship you
Oh, oh

Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)

Ellie Goulding told Apple Music of "Power", "It's about relationships in the 21st century, and how they can now be dictated by social media, superficiality and material things. The girl in the song is disillusioned by love, and the good-looking, self-obsessed people she keeps ending up with."

The music video for this track, published on the 21st of May 2020, was filmed by Ellie Goulding herself.
