This mesmeric, haunting, piano-accompanied new single comes from the Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir about her experience in a relationship with someone who is more in love with her image as an artist than her as a person. The song heralds an expanding edition of last year’s acclaimed Bewitched album, now Bewitched: The Goddess Edition, out on Vingolf Recordings / AWAL, with other extra tracks too. To explore the rest of the album, and more by Laufey, see also the embedded links below.
It always goes like this
Could've predicted it
I'm so naïve to think you loved me for me
Kissed as I ran off stage
You're too old to play this game
Guess you're still growing up at thirty, oh
[Chorus]
Were you surprised by me
When you took me home?
When the glamour wore off
Reduced to skin and bone
I can't even tell who you want to know
I'm a goddess on stage
Human when we're alone
You took a star to bed
Woke up with me instead
You must have fеlt so damn deceived
Whеn you made up a version of
Me that you thought you'd love
But I am not your Aphrodite, oh
Were you surprised by me
When you took me home?
When the glamour wore off
Reduced to skin and bone
I can't even tell who you want to know
I'm a goddess on stage
Human when we're alone
You took me for a fool
You stole my youth
You wanted this so much
You watched me rise
Then killed my light
And now you know
I'm not your fucking goddess
Oh, oh
I'm no goddess when I'm alone
