You’re so damn cold
You got no feeling
I want my blood hotter
Not satisfied
I need to taste it
Your sex is so over
Got the gun in my hand and I point it straight
To the target and I’m gonna blow my brains
I don’t need you, my touch is better
I’m rolling much hotter
Lights out, I’m on
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I’m gone, so high
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I can make it feel just like I’m hanging on
Yeah, I can do it better when I’m all alone
Lights out, so high
All alone
I got a body of my own
I’m in control
My hands are shaking
My skin’s getting wetter
I’m coming close
It’s overloaded
I walk in with fire
Spin around in my head, I’m screaming out
But with you in the room I can never shout
This heroin, I’m sinking so deep
Wish I could stay here forever
Lights out, I’m on
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I’m gone, so high
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I can make it feel just like I’m hanging on
Yeah, I can do it better when I’m all alone
Lights out, so high
All alone
I got a body of my own
Lights out
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I’m gone, so high
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I’m gone, so high
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I’m gone, so high
Got my darkness
I’m into myself, don’t need you
‘Cause I’m gone
Exploring Self-Empowerment and Autonomy
“Body Of My Own” by Charli XCX is a bold declaration of self-sufficiency and autonomy. Through vivid imagery and confident assertions, the lyrics capture the essence of breaking free from a cold, unfulfilling relationship. Charli XCX emphasizes the power of self-love and personal satisfaction, highlighting the idea that true fulfillment can come from within. The repeated references to darkness, being “all alone,” and “rolling much hotter” reflect a journey toward self-discovery and empowerment, where the protagonist finds strength in solitude and independence rather than relying on another.
