If Lorde’s Latest Track ‘Liability’ Doesn’t Make You Feel Things, You’re A Heartless Monster

I have cried four times today. Three of those are Lorde’s fault. Ella, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??

If you haven’t heard, Lorde has released her second track from upcoming album, Melodrama, and damn, it’s a stunner.

It’s incredibly stripped down and soft. We’re getting a much more personal, vulnerable Lorde with this piano ballad. And the lyrics? Oh my god. The lyrics!

“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”

EXCUSE ME, MY GOD DAMN EMOTIONS!

I truly do not understand how anyone who is a human being could listen to this brilliance and if not fully cry, at least FEEL like weepiness is a possibility.

“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”

Yeah, so, can June 16th get here a little faster? TC mark

You can’t change your past, but you can cleanse your memories…

Ari grieves the loss of her sister deeply, yet she resists visiting the island resort where traumatic memories are repressed. She doesn’t believe it will give her a stress-free, relaxing vacation like the commercials claim. She doesn’t believe it will give her closure, either.

Even though her gut warns her to stay home, a work assignment forces Ari to visit the island—and it’s even more dangerous than she ever could have imagined. ☠️

This gripping tale by prolific horror novelist, Holly Riordan, will keep you on the edge of your seat!
