About This Track

'Bite Marks' by Au/Ra is a 2021 pop track from 'Soundtrack to an Existential Crisis'. The lyrics frame a suffocating, omnipresent attachment, likening it to wallpaper in the mind, before tipping into a dark, self-sabotaging confession. There is a sense of urgency and damage, with the singer describing being torn apart and left with “bite marks”, as they recount giving something over and watching it carve them up.

"Bite Marks" is a single by Au/Ra, from the album Soundtrack to an Existential Crisis, released 26th August 2021. The track is 2:44 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Au/Ra.

Lyrics

Bite Marks

You are everywhere
Like wallpaper in my mind, in my mind
I need to take you down
Quick before you take me out, take me out

I knew you'd rip me apart
Left my heart with bite marks
Knew you'd let me die hard
Left my heart with bite marks
I gave you the knife and let you carve
But then you had to leave me in the dark
Knew you'd rip me apart
Left my heart with bite marks

Left my hеart with bite marks
Left my heart with bitе marks

We swam in cyanite
We took the chance, we took the dive
Spoiler alert, we died (died)
Could have been so right
But it was never you and I (never, never)
You and I (but it's alright)

I knew you'd rip me apart
Left my heart with bite marks
Knew you'd let me die hard
Left my heart with bite marks
I gave you the knife and let you carve
But then you had to leave me in the dark
Knew you'd rip me apart
Left my heart with bite marks

Left my heart with bite marks
Left my heart with bite marks

I gave you the knife and let you carve
But then you had to leave me in the dark
I gave you the knife and let you carve
And you carved, and you carved
And you carved

But I knew you'd rip me apart
Left my heart with bite marks
Knew you'd let me die hard
Left my heart with bite marks
I gave you the knife and let you carve
But then you had to leave me in the dark
Knew you'd rip me apart
Left my heart with bite marks
