About This Track

'Hips' by Warpaint is an alternative track from the album 'Radiate Like This', released in 2022. The lyrics frame a confident, almost mythic figure pushing through a dangerous threshold, described as climbing and arriving with “diamonds”. There is a confrontational edge too, with a warning to back off, plus a repeated, dance-like instruction that steers the listener’s attention left and right.

"Hips" is a track by Warpaint, from the album Radiate Like This, released 5th May 2022. The track is 3:20 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Warpaint.

Lyrics

Hips

Higher
Higher
Higher

She's coming through your portal from a very steep climb
She's gonna make it, she's got diamonds
Diamonds in her pocket and an army of light
Don't fuck with her, she knows where you're hiding

(Hips to the left, hips to the left)
(Hips to the right, let's go)
(Hips to the left, hopes to the right)
(Hopes to the right, light of my life)

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Mmm, she's a little messiah, jewel in the crown
Walking on water, cruising through fire
It's shady weather, there's fear in the house
Gotta come up on the pressure, gotta, gotta get up to get out

Oh-oh-oh-oh (gotta, gotta get up to get out)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (gotta, gotta get up to get out)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (gotta, gotta get up to get out)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (hips to the right)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (hopes to the right)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (lifting me up)
Oh-oh-oh (light of my life)

I am feeling free, do not get to decide
If I want to watch, if I want to lose control
If I can please myself, if I can roll solo
And when I play hard the softness starts to show in my bones

I won't forget, I won't forget
I won't forget, I won't forget
I will remember, will remember, will remember
I won't forget, I won't forget
I won't forget, I won't forget
I will remember, will remember, will remember
I won't forget, I won't forget
I won't forget, I won't forget
I will remember, will remember, will remember this
