Lulu by The Neighbourhood

Artist: The Neighbourhood

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:39

While facing our fears, trauma and limitations, we sometimes create a persona or self defense mechanism that allow us to transform ourselves and experience life through a different identity. Other times or in the long run, what once helped might now hurt you. You can always morph into a new version of yourself that help you grow. The song talks about that, with a sense of realization for the lack of genuine personality.

Lulu lyrics

Pick a mask and put it on, if it's working then you'll know
If it doesn't, take it off (and just try another one)
I bet you'll find it soon enough, might not feel like what you want
If it's paying or it fucks (you can mistake it for love)
Guilty pleasure 'til you come, so ashamed of what you've done
Turn the damage into something to benefit from
Spiraling 'til I've spun out of orbit with my thoughts
Reaching out for what I want
Even I am just a lulu
At the party with the who's who
Realizing she's not used to being honest
She's not used to being real
Pick a poison, grab a cup, everybody needs a drug
Don't be evil, have your fun (ain't no hiding from the sun)
Tell yourself it's just a crush, then end up falling in love
Keep on going with your gut (unless you keep throwing up)
Guilty pleasure 'til you come, so ashamed of what you've done
Turn the damage into something to benefit from
Spiraling 'til I've spun out of orbit with my thoughts
Reaching out for what I want
Even I am just a lulu
At the party with the who's who
Realizing she's not used to being honest
She's not used to being real
Lulu, gotta tell you I'm confused too
Realizing I'm not used to being honest
I'm not used to being real
I wanna be alone
Uh-uh
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I won't pretend
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Lulu, just ignore me when you see me
Come on, baby, make it easy for us both
Won't you please leave me alone?
