Team Lyrics

Lyric discussion by chriz00 

Cover art for Team lyrics by Lorde

"Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room"

As someone who struggles with acne/acne scars, this line is beautiful!

She's basically acknowledging guys (or gals) with acne scars and saying how she "loves them, like a brother" and showing how beautiful they can be with imperfections "while he glows through the room".

Which ties perfectly with the songs meaning about being imperfect but loving being imperfect.

My Interpretation

I agree with you completely. Those two lines stood out to me immediately and really touch me on a personal level that I rarely experience. It's worded so beautifully.

I feel that "he glows through the room" points to the idea of seemingly imperfect people/places/etc. often times holding true value or depth which surpasses the superficial and empty things society tends to put upon a pedestal, idealize, and gravitate towards.

This girl is incredibly wise beyond her years

Also: " Look upon your greatness and she'll send the call out " Meaning that you won't be loved by thirds if you do not love yourself the way it is, imperfect.

Seeing as how many people liked my comment, I assume you all struggle with acne/acne scars as I do. Not many people understand what it is like to have that, it makes this song a little bit more special because we are our own little 'team'. If you struggle with acne/acne scars just know that you are not alone and eventually your attitude towards what you feel/think about yourself will change in time...we are all beautiful on the inside and we have to let that be shown to everyone, rather than hide from your imperfections, you have to learn to...
