About This Track

The lyrics sketch a self-aware spiral into social media habits and digital detachment, with the narrator heading “down a rabbit hole” before deciding to ignore messages and clear contacts. There is a restless need for attention driving the moment, even as the phrasing keeps winking at its own impulse, ending on the thought of posting a picture so people know.

"DAMAGE" is a single by Lights, from the album A6, released 1st May 2025. The track is 3:21 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lights.

Lyrics

DAMAGE

I'm headed down a rabbit hole
Does anybody want anything
I'm gonna be a while
Be away all week
I'm not gonna answer texts
Fuck it I'll delete
All of my contacts
But I won't really though
Because I need attention
I'm an attention hoe
I better post a picture
So you know I'm alive
So you can think about me

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking
I-I

I better not get out of hand
Cause nobody likes a crazy bitch
So I'll go to therapy and blame myself
And they'll validate me cause I pay them to
And when I get home
Gonna lay there awake
Tryna figure out how not to make a mistake
When I tell them all I'm bulletproof
I better goddam be telling the truth

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking

Life is simple with it
And it locks you in the eye
Life is simple with you
You just keep the dream alive

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking

I-I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talking
It's the damage talking
