About This Track

‘Statements’ by Loreen is a 2017 song in which the lyrics push back against manipulation and vow to stop negotiating, insisting, “Read between the lies”. The repeated refrains frame a refusal to need an escape route, while the imagery of words that cut and the closing mention of shades suggest damage management, emotional distance, and a controlled exit from a toxic exchange.

"Statements" is a single by Loreen, released 25th February 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Statements

Karma, karma, come and dance with me
Read between the lies and set me free
Imagine the beginning of the end
And we don't need to ever talk again

We don't need your way out
We don't need your way out
We don't need your way out

Words cut but I don't care how much it hurts
Shades for the blind
Can't hear your empty words
We don't need, no
We don't need, no

Statements
Statements

Mother Mary, try to keep it real
Save your prayers for peace and let us heal
Did our best but you say otherwise
We're building up for war in paradise
Why?

We don't need your way out
We don't need your way out
We don't need your way out
We don't need your way out

Words cut but I don't care how much it hurts
Shades for the blind
Can't hear your empty words
We don't need, no
We don't need, no

Statements

Words cut but I don't care how much it hurts
Shades for the blind
Can't hear your empty words
We don't need, no
We don't need, no

(Statements)
يجب ان نفعل شيء (Statements)
(Statements)
We don't need, no
We don't need, no (statements)
We don't need, no
