About This Track

‘Cigarette’ by Marika Hackman is an alternative track from the album ‘I'm Not Your Man (Deluxe)’ (2017). The lyrics place a strained, closed-door encounter in a parking lot and car, where words and boundaries keep slipping, until the scene ends with a lit cigarette and a blunt sense of escalation. The mood is accusatory and trapped, built from quick, escalating impressions, like “When did it get so forced?”

"Cigarette" is a track by Marika Hackman, from the album I'm Not Your Man (Deluxe), released 1st June 2017. The track is 2:37 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Marika Hackman.

Lyrics

Cigarette

You're in the parking lot
I'm in the car, it's locked
I didn't want to let you in

When did it get so forced?
Drunk by the second course
You're never gonna let me win

And I tried to hold my tongue
But you, you yanked it from my grip
Bathed it in petroleum
Lit a cigarette and gave it a kiss

Turn to the headlight glare
Cry and pretend you care
I love it when we make a scene

Something to talk about
Rather than fucking shout
Maybe we could go to sleep

And you tried to hold your tongue
But I, I yanked it from your grip
Bathed it in petroleum
Lit a cigarette and gave you a kiss

    How Marika Hackman turned lockdown writer’s block into ‘Covers’

    Released in November 2020, Marika Hackman’s ‘Covers’ found a route around the blank page: ten songs she already knew well, rebuilt at home with a drum machine, sparse production and room for experimentation.
