Looks like she shouldn’t have engaged the strange game.

She knew that their love’s succumb to constant fighting. Yet, she finds comfort in sweeping the aftermath with her boyfriend. Whether it’s fixing smash furniture, or waxing apologies.

Like how a couple might clean up a broken vase together, she finds bittersweetness in working it like a completed puzzle. Twisted, but it gets her though the pain.

Lizzy personifies her lover’s breath because the strangers are the lies. He’s usually upstanding, so she’s surprised by his immoral suggestions.

But she feels fed by these lies. As alien as they are, it excites her, so down the rabbit hole she goes…

Kiiara’s come up is almost too good to be true. The singer/songwriter hails from a small town in Illinois. She began gaining attention when her first single, “Gold,” was posted on SoundCloud. Within the first eight days, the track racked up over 180,000 plays two years later it has been certified 3x platinium.

While her first song was released under her legal name the acoustic pop genre elements that the song featured would not be found in her “Kiiara” music. Acoustic pop was a one-time thing, under her new name (adding an “i” to her first name), her new genre would accompany more of a techno-pop feel, with roots of hip-hop intertwined to her clean vocals. However her acoustic ability isn’t completely forgotten, it sometimes makes an appearance in some of her features, such as her feature in Bright: The Album’s fifth track “Darkside”.

While already being on Atlantic Records by the release of “Gold” the amazing success of the song landed her a record deal with EFFESS a label run by by Felix Snow, a frequent producer and songwriter.

Her debut EP, low kii savage was released in 2016, with her opening track being “Gold.” A barrage of singles followed up her successful debut (the album peaking at No.41 on the Billboard 200). The singles, though most didn’t make the album cut, led up to her newly released debut album, lil kiiwi featuring prominent artist blackbear.

Kiiara’s style makes her a perfect candidate for singles, especially those for producers, such as Cheat Codes, Felix Snow (who produces and writes most of her songs), David Guetta, and Steve Aoki.

She rank in money from her hedonic lifestyle, even though she feels funny because it’s superficial. Dollars can’t satisfy her ghostly, lonely soul.

With “we”, she projects her monetary hangups to all aspirational youth. The shit they want are fulfillment, not a luxurious, empty alternative.

Commentary on modern-day pictures. The Internet makes it easier to spread embarrassing photos of drunken partygoers, or scandalous celebrities.

As Kiiara lives her live, both in and out the spotlight, she hopes that her friends won’t immortalize her mistakes with snapshot.

A cigarette’s a cancerous item, so by pushing away the pictures, she suppresses the pixels that can ruin her life.

“You want it, you can have it” is a phrase associated with slimy salesmen and “be careful what you wish for” gifts. She craves fame, but even as she approaches it, she knows it’ll won’t cure all her woes.

Fame are linked with lights, because a spotlight’s an icon for celebrityhood. So when Kiiara’s no longer famous, she’ll disappear from the public eye, and she’ll no longer have fame. For better or for worse.

Kiiara walks into an experience. At first, she’s like a ghost, a symbolism for invisibility. Before her career took off, she’s nothing special–at least in other people’s eyes.

The Holy Spirit is a Abrahamic aspect of God, and is sometimes known as the Holy Ghost. Being a Holy Ghost means being divine.

She’s still a ghost when she’s done with this incident and she becomes withdrawn. However, she’s retains the wisdom she achieved during her forey, making her a better person, even if she’s unnoticable all over again.

She appears to be a nice girl, but once people warm up to her, she’ll take advantage of them.

Of course, she doesn’t literally gut her loved ones (or does she?) but the bleeding symbolize her digging out the usefulness out of her friends and lovers through her exploitiveness. Her victims will feel gutted once betrayed.
