Shapes Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Push me into spaces to fit
I can't relax in this body I'm in
I'm looking for personal improvement
But your mind is wicked, that's how you use it
You push me into place, I resist
I'm not a child, I'm not a kid
I'm not ignorant to the bullshit
I'm a straight shot, by now, you know this

[Chorus]
I'm changing shapes
I'm a work in progress
I'm changing shapes
But you never notice

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
Push me into spaces to fit
I'm changing shapes and I'm feeling thin
You lie to me thinking I'm clueless
But you fucked yourself for your amusement
You push me into spaces to fit
If I stand my ground, call me a bitch
I'm not a pacifist and you know this
And my rage is my emotional protest

[Chorus]
I'm changing shapes
I'm a work in progress
I'm changing shapes
But you never notice

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
I'm changing shapes
I'm a work in progress
I'm changing shapes
But you never notice
I'm changing shapes
I'm a work in progress
I'm changing shapes
But you never notice

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Genius Answer

Poppy is a shapeshifter. She flits from project to project in a state of constant metamorphosis, leaving no clue as to what sort of sounds she might explore next. This song is both a sassy refusal to stomach the bullshit she’s been fed and a pointed middle finger to conformity, specifically the notion that she should fit into boxes others want her to contort herself into. Even when it’s furious, it’s eloquent and wry, but above all, for Poppy herself, it’s a vital exercise in detaching from her past.
