Music video by Lorde performing Green Light. (C) 2017 Universal Music NZ Ltd.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I do my makeup in somebody else's car
We order different drinks at the same bars
I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar
[Refrain]
Well those great whites, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you wherever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Chorus]
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you
[Refrain]
Well those rumors, they have big teeth
Hope they bite you
Thought you said that you would always be in love
But you're not in love no more
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?
On the light up floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear sounds in my mind
Brand new sounds in my mind
But honey I'll be seein' you wherever I go
But honey I'll be seein' you down every road
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
[Chorus]
'Cause honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Yes, honey I'll come get my things, but I can't let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

[Outro]
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it
I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it"

[@englishspeakingrussianrpdr8515]

Dude... I'm a huge fan of this song and the album as a whole, but like... The song's structure is absolutely normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's: verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, outro. This structure isn't special. I'm not saying the song isn't special, I just think you're reading too much into it.

How can you NOT start jumping up and dancing when this song comes on?! Masterpiece!

[@Ineedasecretcodename]

"But I hear sounds in my mind, brand new sounds in my mind" as the song shifts to a piano beat she's never used before. She's literally telling us that she's evolving into new territory as an artist with this record. Also take into account the fact that she's 20 years old now, and with that comes the excitement of taking on the world as a young adult. This makes me think about college nights, when you felt like you had the green light to do anything you wanted before sunrise. She was still a teenager when she wrote Pure Heroine, and I think it's naturally a darker record because you feel kind of trapped and broody during those years of your life. When you come of age, there's an intoxicating freedom to it initially, especially in her case as a successful singer with money and credentials. To me this song represents that excitement, a starry-eyed lust to celebrate the beginning of the rest of her life. I'm so curious to hear the rest of the album, and I'm excited for her that she wants to show us this new energy!

[@Ongakufan1]

[@blablablair1]

My thoughts exactly. Just a truimphant sounding song.

[@lazaldesantillanximena2686]

YAAASSSS

[@ericsican1333]

She wrote royals and everyone of that age group and everyone of that cultural fell in love with it. She writes green light and it fits so well with the same community of people. Lorde is a true growing artist that can grow with the people who listen to her. Not saying she can only cater to those people, but she surely does know how to cater to an idea, a moment, or an emotion that many people can relate to and reminisce about or feel in the moment.

[@samsarags8596]

I’ve been obsessed with her music since I was 9 i

[@suspiriorum3481]

i remember that most of her fans didn't like the green light at first.

[@TheAtomicSynth]

@@graemehenderson1743 Eric above wasnt saying that the music was only for a certain age group. He's right though the youth of that time grew with her... actually grew with her

For those of you who are complaining that Lorde sold out or fell into the pop machine, this is far from manufactured pop. This track has 4 different melodies that blend well into each other. A song this complex is nowhere close to manufactured pop. This is closer to indie pop than straight up pop. She's also 20, there's no way she's gonna write the same music as 16.

[@JM.ts18]

Eva Zhu Exactly ! she said herself this was cathartic pop

[@JMLRH]

No its plain pop i dont get the extraness in explain this song's genre just because its Lorde. This song is a fucking bop though

Yesssss!!! Lorde has naturally evolved as an artist. No matter what kind of music she releases, it's always going to be different from people's expectations

[@littleblue15]

JMLRH lol I'm not explaining just because it's Lorde. I'm explaining because many people don't understand that pop has many subgenres and you can't just categorize it all as "machine manufactured pop"

[@ceeryle]

Some people complain because this sounds different than before. Here's some food for thought for you: David Bowie, the music legend himself, called Lorde "The future of music." Bowie was notorious for being a chameleon. Every one of his projects, from Ziggy Stardust to The Labyrinth, feel completely unique. They are all different and capture a different side of Bowie, but he is still present in all of these. They are different, but still cohesive. How does this tie into Lorde? Even though this is different, it's just a page from Bowie's book. It may be different than Pure Heroine, but that doesn't mean she's selling out. This is just another aspect of her, while still bursting from her own mind. Let's not bash her change in direction. Instead, let's celebrate that she's not going to stay in a niche simply because fans want her to. She's still exploring, and I'm excited to see where the path leads.

[@brandonmohammed2234]

Jesus has changed my life, He answered my prayers, i had been praying for years so I can get baptized and He answered that prayer when the time was right. Both my parent use to drink alot and plus my dad use to smoke cigarettes and I use to suffer because of that my dad has also fall away from his faith at that time but Jesus sent one of His followers to my dads work and then he use to talk to my dad about His life back together with Jesus to build a relationship with Him and that same year around Christmas a bit after my dad got sick and the follower of Jesus prayed for my dad to get better and he did, but while he was sick he did not smoke or drink and even after that he never drink or smoke again Jesus has freed him from that trap which he was in since he was a teenager. My dad has built his relationship with Jesus and now is free of his past and lives for Jesus. After I got baptized I still was not close enough to Jesus but after a few months the Holy Spirit who is living inside me found a way to make me take my relationship with Jesus and I did. Later on I had my final exams and I barely studied, i told Jesus that He is my priority and it my grades doesnt matter however I had faith in that i would pass because of Jesus and when I got result o saw He did not let me down and I pass all my subjects only because of Him. A time I was praying for a job and the week after in church a opportunity came by. I also applied online for jobs and ask my uncle for help in finding one and one day i kneeled down and prayed and within a few minutes to an hour i got a call from my uncle saying he got me an interview and later that day i got a call from one i applied online. The next week i prayed on my knees again to get the job that i applied online for and aboutb5 in the evening i got a call saying i got that job. Jesus has even given me thing that i didnt praying for because He knows my heart. Everytime i had fallen away (i still do) He always brings me back to Him. He has never failed me and never will. Jesus said if we ask for anything in His Name we will get it.

[@juice8059]

Gabrielle Grangie literally people are so annoying like god forbid she make music that sounds different

[@equivy]

Justin Rodriguez Artists change. The best artists changed their styles. Look at Nirvana. They definitely changed when they were a thing. However, as a huge fan of Lorde, I am disappointed with this track (as well as Magnets from whenever that was). I just feel like this sounds a bit too mainstream? It doesn't feel like Lorde. She can change and evolve. That's great. But, I wish I could just vibe to this, you know?

[@Takemetopigfarts]

Gabrielle Grangie do people change naturally? Or do they force change for the sake of popularity?

[@claudiasparkman9107]

Christian Skinner I think people change because they've changed, she's not 17 anymore. she has a different mind set and has more to experience in life which means her music is going to change. she didn't change for popularity because with pure heroin she became popular, so it's not the music. it's her as a person. also, she worked with jack (lead singer from bleachers, steel train) and they both produced this album. it's amazing that she co-produced her 2nd album.

[@jxtcabales4243]

I feel like people didn't actually listen to Pure Heroine. She's always been upbeat. Her best song is probably Ribs which is similar in tone to this.

[@heyuhhh7137]

Ribs is not her best song but I agree with the comment

[@hafaball]

I think the lyrics to ribs are incredibly sad, but I agree she's always upbeat and takes her struggles with a positive attitude.

[@YakuChannel9]

I think it's just the piano loop that makes this song differrent from her old songs. Other than that, I don't get how people call this mainstream

[@anthonyjimenez662]

IT's definitely more than just an escape, it's an invitation of a lifestyle! Listen to the lyrics, it describes not just and idea but a story and reflection! This means Lorde has probably got the lyrics from personal experience. Experiencing someone else's thoughts or ideas is pretty cool, eh?

[@jackdonny468]

The song represents, to me anyway, of getting out of a relationship with a person you thought you’d be with forever at the start and the other person has moved on ( she thinks you love the beach....) and the green light is the metaphor for being able to finally move on and let go of that person you loved so much and it’s the feeling of knowing you need to let go and just waiting till you can finally give up.

Hey Lorde fans! I have just released my selfmade debut album CRASTI LAND a few weeks ago. I am a big Lorde fan myself, her minimal electronic music (especially during her first years) really inspired me and a couple of songs on the album, so I thought I'd share the news with other fans. Kindly and respectfully, I would appreciate every listen & review! Have a powerful day!

[@traintracks7199]

yall shes said in interviews (this morning on triple j in australia) that her album is a mix of her old and new style of music. she's very particular and LOVES to perfect the beat and rhythm of her songs -- base sound to her is very important. her album is going to have aLOT of her original style as well as the new (which imo, is still really good!) artists evolve! but she's said herself that she still very much has, and loves, the slow soft beats we got in pure heroine

[@DatGuyWithDaGlasses]

uxile It's not the fact that she's changing, she has every right to do what she wants, it's just that the long wait we all went through, ended up being her releasing a very mainstream song. And if you've ever paid attention to her interviews, she's mentioned being very against going "mainstream", so it's strange to her contradicting herself. I was expecting her to be experimental like her last album (not the sound, but the direction she took it), not play it safe with the sounds everyone else is using today.

I don't get why people always complain and are like "This is different. This is not her/him/them." You know people grow. Tastes change. Many people enjoy different sounds, different genres. They don't always want to play the same stuff. Many people love diversity. Let her sing this song and maybe a couple more like this one. But wait for the whole album until you make your final opinion about it. Don't judge because of one song (what's more important: don't judge at all). If I were a musician I would probably try different stuff too.

[@rbriggs89]

I wouldn't call this growing. I call this devolving to boring pop industry standards. The song is decent, but it's generic as hell. Lorde songs used to stand out. This one could easily get lost in a sea of boring pop tunes. I hope the rest of the album is better.

Green Light is the poppiest song on the album "This is as pop-dance as it gets," she told Mistajam. "We were just in the studio, mashing around on the piano and... that's what it is." "We didn't turn it into the single, it was just born that way." The 20-year-old added the new album was more varied than her debut. "There's a lot of beats again but there's also instruments that are going to surprise people." - Lorde

I think we love Lorde cause musically she precisely conveys how every teen and young adult feels in current zeitgeist. Her music is about self-explore while growing up and trying to understand the world. It portrays her fearlessness, idealism and struggles as well as mine. That’s why I always think she is such a symbol of one generation that sees the world and life itself very differently than any generation before.
