About This Track

'Lost' features Emilie Brandt on vocals, her voice cutting through a production that builds from introspective verses into propulsive drops. The song pivots on a simple emotional logic: departure as liberation. Brandt sings of reclaiming breath and autonomy after a relationship has drained both, the repeated refrain "I'm better lost" functioning less as resignation than as hard-won clarity. The track moves between restraint and release. Early verses sit sparse and direct, Brandt's delivery measured against minimal instrumentation, before the production swells into the kind of euphoric electronic surge that defines the album. That tension between vulnerability and catharsis runs through the whole piece, the drops arriving not as bombast but as earned exhale.

"Lost" is a track by ILLENIUM, from the album Awake, released 21st September 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Lost

[Verse 1]

It's back to the basics without you now

I'm trying not to fall under

You told me I should take a look around

Lost it all and it's no wonder how it came to be

I'm stepping out the door of you and me

I'm crossing out the eyes and what they've seen

I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better

[Chorus]

It's time for me to breathe

I'm gasping for the air you stole from me

I'm crossing out the eyes and what they've seen

I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better lost

[Drop]

Lost, I'm better lost

Lost, I'm better lost

[Verse 2]

Been down on defeat

Rose from beneath

To find my escape

I'll run from the lies you tried to hide

I'll vanish without a trace

[Chorus]

It's time for me to breathe

I'm gasping for the air you stole from me

I'm crossing out the eyes and what they've seen

I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better lost

[Bridge]

Now I'm without you, without you now

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

I'll never need you to see through

Yeah, I'm better lost

[Drop]

[Outro]

Now I'm without you, without you now

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

Now I'm without you, without you now

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

I'll never need you

I'm better lost
