About This Track

'PIRANHA' by Lights is a 2025 pop track from the album 'A6'. The lyrics describe a flirtatious, predatory dynamic, with a sense of being guided into danger while resisting departure. There is a pressure to stay, even as the narrator “wanna leave”, and the mood turns from playful to trapped, like a smile that keeps doing the damage. The imagery of concealed intention and being taken in by a performance of charm gives the song its anxious edge.

"PIRANHA" is a track by Lights, from the album A6, released 1st May 2025. The track is 4:43 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lights.

Lyrics

PIRANHA

Fingers in your pockets, you flash a fang out
Smile at me, making me weak
I'm holding my heart out, you pull the blind fold down
All around me
'Cause it's harder when I wanna leave
But it's easy that I never see
You're leading me to deep water
And it's okay when I round it up
But it's just death by a thousand cuts
You're keeping me at the bottom
I let you get your teeth in me
'Cause I just need your hands upon my body
Feel the way you want me
You're holding me
I know you only love me when I'm on ya
Want me when you wanna
Piranha
Piranha
You stay in position
Keeping your arms closed
Memories flash, playing it back
I remember warm nights
Looking for something new
Running it back
'Cause it harder when I wanna leave
But it's easy that I never see
You're keeping me at the bottom
I let you get your teeth in me
'Cause I just need your hands upon my body
Feel the way you want me
You're holding me
I know you only love me when I'm on ya
Want me when you wanna
Piranha
Piranha
Piranha
Piranha
Maybe this place is make believe
All of the things you say to me
Keeping me tangled on a leash
Ohh-oh, yeah
Maybe this place is make believe
All of the things you say to me
Keeping me tangled on a leash
I let you get your teeth in me
'Cause I just need your hands upon my body
Feel the way you want me
You're holding me
I know you only love me when I'm on ya
Want me when you wanna
(This place is made for me) piranha
(All the things you say to me)
(Keep me tangled on a leash) piranha
(This place is made for me) piranha
(All the things you say to me)
(Keep me tangled on a leash) piranha
I let you get your teeth in me
'Cause I just need your hands upon my body
Feel the way you want me
You're holding me
I know you only love me when I'm on ya
Want me when you wanna
