Amazing song by La Faute.
Artist about the track:
Inspired by a dream she had about a loved one who has passed, Messing gave thought to memories and ghosts, and how maybe they are the same thing. With her third single, “The Crown”—from debut album Blue Girl Nice Day, out May 26th—Messing has turned to using found footage from the cult classic film Carnival of Souls to illustrate the notions of a haunting, deja-vu and memory, keeping the same black and white aesthetic as previous music videos.
LYRICS:
Driving in the night when the lights went out Was I awake or was I dreaming One-way sign turned around I said "Yeah, I know the feeling." Was it me or someone else Wearing the crown I could rearrange my face Or let it fade out Maybe you’re just somewhere else Walking around Let me be your negative space The shadow in the background I know the secret now I know the secret now I feel it deep down Walking all the way to here and now I was asleep I wish I was dreaming I’m safe in bed you’re on the town I watch for the headlights across the ceiling Was it me or someone else Wearing the crown I could rearrange my face Or let it flame out Maybe you’re just somewhere else Walking around I don’t read the last page I know how it all plays out I know the secret now I know the secret now A woman anonymous in the crowd I know the secret now I know the secret now A woman anonymous in the crowd I feel it deep down
