Look into Me - Blue Edition (feat. Anjali Bhimani & Laura Bailey)

from Stray Gods by Austin Wintory, Tripod & Montaigne

lyrics

What a long day
Hiding in the light
Such a long day
Dreaming of tonight
This sacred bite

Hello, who’s that there?
You’ve messed up my flow
Just get your drink girl
And take your seat—Oh?

It’s the muse…

There are sacred bites
And then there’s
This sacred bite
So wrong
So right
I’m really gonna
Hate myself tonight

Medusa, listen, stop, I’m warning you
This is something you don’t wanna do

Tell me more about me
Look at you
A prime sashimi with opinions too

Medusa, listen, I’m warning you (Yes, keep on warning me)
There's no rewinding it’s something you
Can’t undo
Can’t undo (That’s kind of the point, lovely)

Now
Look into me
Your body goes free
Every tendon
As it tenders
Turning jelly
As it renders

Mm!

I think you’re saying, “I can’t speak?”

Mm!

And that was, “Why can’t I speak?”
I call it ‘The Preparation’.

Alright that’s fine
You want the boring facts (Mm!)
Well dear, this process
Makes your meat relax (Mm!)
Turn you to stone?
And miss that lovely musey taste of you?
And it’s just murder on the chompers too (Mm!)

That thing you said before
You’re right, it’s true
Feels extra special doing (Mm!)
Something you can’t undo (Mm!)

Ha ha!

Look into me—Oh!

She’s looking away! Hey!

I’m just a temporary muse, wait! (What? A temporary muse?)
I’m not worth the price (It’s not something you choose)
I’m commonplace
Not some exotic slice (There is nothing you can say to me)
I’m a plate of rice (Only idols can look away from me)

Nice try.

You and Athena
Here’s the thing I don’t get
Are you her spy
Some sort of P.I.
Or more like her pet?

Am I hurting the mood
When I mention her name?

The fact that she’d hate
That you’re on my plate
Only makes me more game

Look into—

Medusa! Look into your own eyes!

Okay, the phone thing doesn’t work on you
Nevertheless, let’s take a look at you
Pan called you hideous
That’s just untrue

Enough!

I’d kill for eyes like that
The body too (Don’t look at me)
Maybe the hair needs some attending to (Don’t look at me)
Big picture, honey
It’s nothing you can’t undo—

Yeah, you’re not a killer!

You’re much too cute

You’re lost, little girl
No more hail Marys
We both know the cute girl’s you
The killer’s me (You don’t know, you don’t know)
I do know that you didn’t k—

Kill Calliope?

So, you know that’s it’s true
That I didn’t do it

No.

Yes, you do know you know
Does that mean
Athena knows?

No!

Fine Grace (Don’t you see Medusa?)
I’ll take you (You are just her tool)
While you’re awake (Your queen’s a user)
True the meat will be (You’re Athena’s fool)
Slightly tougher (Apollo, he)
And you’re really (Could get you free)
Gonna— (He’s a friend to me)

What’s that you said to me?

Apollo (Can get you free)
Can get Medusa free (Is that a yes?)
That’s a maybe
