"Selene" lyrics
"Selene"
She's taken over
She's making me want your body closer
Having a little trouble staying sober
And she's got us all under her trance
Oh she's elusive (I know)
She only rises with the music
And all of my dreams, they're growing lucid
That's how you know she's up to dance
To dance, to dance, to dance
And now she's taking over me
A new notch on her belt, yeah
And your face gleams like a prophecy
I might just lose myself, yeah
And I couldn't care less (uh)
I couldn't care less, baby
Feeling just a little careless lately
Push me back and pull me under (ah-ah)
She got me possessed (uh)
Now, I'm looking to get hasty
And I just want your body pressed against me
Take me down to lift me high
Take me down to lift me high
Higher, higher, ooh!
White flames on her torch, they're licking on the air tonight (uh)
Chariot skid marks all over the gravel behind my eyes
Take my hand 'cause when this ends, I run
No-man's-land sounds like a woman's fun
We got all night long
Oh wontcha give it to me, give it to me, ah
And oh she's bubbling up again, and I do as I'm told
May be losing all my self-control
And I couldn't care less (uh)
I couldn't care less, baby
Feeling just a little careless lately
Push me back and pull me under (ah-ah)
She got me possessed (uh)
Now, I'm looking to get hasty
And I just want your body pressed against me
Take me down to lift me high
Take me down to lift me high
Higher, higher, ooh!
Higher, higher, ooh!
Higher, higher, ooh!
Take me down to lift me high
Take me down to lift me high
Higher, higher, ooh!

"Selene" refers to the goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology. The album, this song belongs to, is appropriately titled "Moonchild". In an exclusive interview with ELLE Singapore, NIKO revealed, "'Moonchild' started out as a simple revelation I had about myself one night. At that point in time, I was a severe insomniac and felt most creatively stimulated at night. To me, life just feels more exciting when the moon is out for some reason." About the song, the album's second single, she said in particular, "This is purely about sensuality and femininity. I want to make a special song about the Moon Goddess who has Moonchild for some naive and reckless moments."
NIKI co-wrote this song with Jacob Ray who co-produced it with Pomo.
