Lizzy McAlpine - erase me Lyrics

Lizzy McAlpine Lyrics

"erase me"
(feat. Jacob Collier)

Why am I awake?
Nails on the floor
And soot on my tongue
I don't know his name
But I still taste the rum

Nothing there but skin
Skeletons crawl on the ceiling
They know
That him and his aftershave hit like a drug
(Drug)
(Drug)

Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us
Now you're fading
And I wonder who will erase me
Who will erase me?

Race you to the end
My innocence waits like it desperately knows
That I'll crash if I don't let you go

Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us
Now you're fading
And I wonder who will erase me

Erase me
Erase me
And I wonder who will erase me

Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us
Now you're fading
And I wonder who will erase

Don't answer me
I'm calling just to hear you scream
And you're fading
But he feels like you in between
I've said too much
In and out of wanting us
Now you're fading
And I wonder who will erase me
Oh who will erase me?

"Erase Me" was premiered on Harbour Artists & Music/AWAL on the 19th of November, 2021, alongside an accompanying video of which Lizzy McAlpine said, "The video for 'erase me' really encapsulates the meaning behind the song because it shows the aftermath of a breakup. You fill the space that person left with strangers in an attempt to forget. At the end of the video, we see that it didn't work because I end up back at the school from my previously released 'Doomsday' video. You can try all you want to forget them but as soon as you're reminded, you're heartbroken again."

"After a breakup it feels easiest to seek comfort in the beds of strangers but that almost never makes you feel better," said Lizzy McAlpine about the inspiration behind this. "It makes you feel lonelier because there's 'nothing there but skin'. This song explores that feeling, along with the idea that the person you love could replace you too, and there's nothing you can do about it."
