I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing
That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king
And those who kiss the ring
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We will never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
That was the first time I knew they were out for blood
And they would have your guts
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We will never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now

Chvrches è un gruppo musicale synth-pop scozzese formatosi a Glasgow nel 2011. Il trio è composto da Lauren Mayberry (voce), Iain Cook (tastiere, chitarra) e Martin Doherty (basso, tastiere). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e un uso innovativo dei sintetizzatori, ha conquistato rapidamente l'attenzione della critica e del pubblico. Il loro album di debutto, "The Bones of What You Believe", pubblicato nel 2013, è diventato un successo internazionale, raggiungendo la top ten in diversi paesi. Tra i brani più noti del gruppo figurano "The Mother We Share", "Recover" e "Gun", che hanno contribuito a consolidare il loro status di band indie pop di riferimento. Chvrches ha collaborato con artisti come The National e Halsey, e ha suonato in festival musicali di fama mondiale come Coachella e Glastonbury. Nel 2018 hanno pubblicato il terzo album in studio, "Love Is Dead", che ha esplorato temi più oscuri e introspettivi rispetto ai loro lavori precedenti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
