Alice Merton hat gleich mit ihrer allerersten Single “No Roots” einen Welthit gelandet – und das alles in Do-It-Yourself-Manier. Denn um den Song zu veröffentlichen, hat Alice Merton mit Paper Plane Records ihr eigenes Plattenlabel gegründet. Was folgte: Platinschallplatten, eine ausgiebige Tournee durch Europa und die USA und ein Auftritt bei Late-Night-Talker Jimmy Fallon. Mit ihrer Single “Lash Out” will Alice Merton die Erfolgsgeschichte nun weiterschreiben.
I can feel it on the back of my tongue
All of the words getting trapped in my lungs
Heavy like a stone, waiting for the river to run
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
‘Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold this fire inside me
All I know, sometimes it’s frightening
Hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh, oh oh, it’s not really like me to lash out
I gotta let it out
I wanna lash out
I wanna lash out
I’ve got something to say, might start a riot
Rip that tape from my mouth, I won’t be quiet
‘Cause everything is nothing ‘til you realise it’s something you want
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
‘Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold this fire inside me
All I know, sometimes it’s frightening
Hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh, oh oh, it’s not really like me to lash out
I gotta let it out
I wanna lash out
I gotta let it out
I can’t be the cork, come out of the bottle
I can’t be the cork, come out of the bottle
I can’t be the cork, come out of the bottle
I can’t be the cork, come out of the bottle
Lash out
I wanna let it out
‘Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold this fire inside me
All I know, sometimes it’s frightening
Hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh, oh oh, it’s not really like me to lash out
I wanna let it out
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
I gotta lash out
