Buzzcut Season Lyrics

[Chorus]
And I'll never go home again
(Place the call, feel it start)
Favourite friend
(And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
We're all the things that we do for fun
(And I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along
(Make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you

[Bridge]
Cola with the burnt-out taste
I'm the one you tell your fears to
There'll never be enough of us


[Pre-Chorus]
Explosions on TV
And all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool
Where everything is good


[Chorus]
And I'll never go home again
(Place the call, feel it start)
Favourite friend
(And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
We're all the things that we do for fun
(And I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along
(Make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you

Genius Annotation

“Buzzcut Season” is rooted in Lorde’s memories of past summers; the song derives its title from buzzcuts her friends used to give each other at the beginning of summer while they were young.

Like much of Pure Heroine, “Buzzcut Season” is a larger examination of adolescence itself—it comments heavily on a slowly disappearing naïveté as the song’s teenagers awaken to a darker world filled with war and violence. To some interpreters, the title may also refer to the buzzcuts military soldiers customarily don.
