VILLAIN Lyrics
On the low
Only love myself, no more
Take you to the grave, I'll ghost
I know I can be so cold
In the dark
Where I like to keep my heart
Know I'm all bite, no bark
Like to catch you way off guard
[Pre-Chorus: Madison Beer]
I'll stay so deep inside your brain
And take you somewhere far away
[Chorus: Madison Beer, Kim Petras]
Time to roll the dice, you know I'm the type
Type to risk my life, not afraid to die
Type to make you cry, type to put a price
All up on your head, do just what I said
I'm a straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling
Straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling
[Post-Chorus: Madison Beer]
I'm alive, but I'm dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of drеad
'Til you go pow
Is it really a surprise if I'm playing with your mind
And I treat you likе a prize, then I throw you to the side?
And am I really that bad if l love to make you mad?
And get happy when you're sad, only care about a bag
[Verse 3: Kim Petras]
In control
That's how I like it and I'm never letting go, nah
Never had a soul (Soul)
So you ain't taking nothing from me when you go, nah
[Pre-Chorus: Kim Petras]
I'll stay so deep inside your brain
And take you somewhere far away
[Chorus: Kim Petras]
Time to roll the dice, you know I'm the type
Type to risk my life, not afraid to die
Type to make you cry, type to put a price
All up on your head, do just what I said
I'm a straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling (Yeah, yeah)
Straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling
I'm alive, but I'm dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
'Til you go pow
[Bridge: Madison Beer & Kim Petras]
Bang, bang
You can do anything
No fear, no pain
Listen to your brain go
Go stupid, go dumb, go stupid and
Then we go insane, woah
Just do what I say
Follow me, I'll lead the way
[Chorus: Madison Beer & Kim Petras, Madison Beer & Kim Petras]
Time to roll the dice, you know I'm the type
Type to risk my life, not afraid to die
Type to make you cry, type to put a price (Woo-ah)
All up on your head, do just what I said
I'm a straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling
Straight up villain, straight up villain (Yeah)
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling (Woo-ah!)
I'm alive, but I'm dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
'Til you go pow

The others have different ways into their lyrics. Me, I like to start with a visual, a story, take you on a journey. For a moment, you get to see what I see. It’s all fun and games, dear. The joy is in the tease. Cute is boring. Sentiment is fine. Truth is fearless. But a touch of shadows with a swag, well, that’s me, love. It’s not what you see that matters; it’s what you don’t.
