[Verse 1]
Used to pain, used to putting up a front
People change, now I'm getting what I want
Used to be a people pleaser, now I please myself
When the moonlight hits, I turn to something else

[Pre-Chorus]
Step on my neck, now I'm cutthroat
Insomnia, can't keep my eyes closed
Switching my ego to dark mode
Watch how I twist, like a cyclone

[Chorus]
Then I go nightshift, like this
Don't cross me, 'cause I don't miss
Yeah, when I go nightshift, light switch
Don't test me, 'cause I won't flinch
Yeah, when I go nightshift

[Post-Chorus]
When I go nightshift

[Verse 2]
Why'd you second-guеss me in the first place?
Tеll me that I peaked in '17, but now you're thirsty
Now it's obvious that you don't know what you're talkin' about
When all you do is tear me down

[Pre-Chorus]
Step on my neck, now I'm cutthroat
Insomnia, can't keep my eyes closed
Switching my ego to dark mode
Watch how I twist, like a cyclone

[Chorus]
Then I go nightshift, like this
Don't cross me, 'cause I don't miss
Yeah, when I go nightshift, light switch
Don't test me, 'cause I won't flinch
Yeah, when I go nightshift

[Post-Chorus]
When I go nightshift

[Bridge]
When the moonlight hits me
I turn into somebody else
I don't even recognize myself

[Chorus]
When I go nightshift, like this
Don't cross me, 'cause I don't miss
Yeah, when I go nightshift, light switch
Don't test me, 'cause I won't flinch
Yeah, when I go-
I love this ❤ your lyrics are always so relatable I feel understood whenever I hear your music . I struggle a lot with my mental health and .. we’ve had a lot of similar experiences and I just have to say thank you for everything you do. I’m so proud to see how far you’ve come . Está chica es genial Love this! Very dark and moody SO BEAUTIFUL! I mean the song too :) "Switching my ego to dark mode" Ohhh ok that needs to be on a shirt that's such a great line!

I feel like I had an expectation of this one from the similarity of the title to NOCTURNAL, and yep it's pretty much exactly what I expected, in the best way. Guess I know what I'm listening to on the next ride (again, for like the 4th time 😅)Literally never a bad song, in the album or anywhere else.
Why is this song so short, only 2min ;(
So good I could listen to it for hours.

Perfect like always, can't wait for the video !
Omg!! I am absolutely obsessed and I can't wait to memorize the lyrics🥰.

LYRICS
Used to pain
used to putting up a front
people change now I’m getting what I want
Used to be a people pleaser now I please myself
When the moonlight hits, I turn to something else

Step on my neck
now I’m cutthroat
Insomniac
Can’t keep my eyes closed
Switching my ego to dark mode
Watch how I twist like a cyclone

then I go
NIGHTSHIFT
like this
Don’t cross me cause I don’t miss
yeah when I go
NIGHTSHIFT
light switch
Don’t test me cause I won’t flinch
when I go nightshift
when I go nightshift

Why’d you second guess me in the first place?
Told me that I peaked in ‘17 but now you’re thirsty
Now it’s obvious that you don’t (you don’t)
know what you’re talking about
when all you do is tear me down
(hahaha)

Step on my neck
now I’m cutthroat
Insomniac
Can’t keep my eyes closed
Switching my ego to dark mode
Watch how I twist like a cyclone

then I go
NIGHTSHIFT
like this (like this)
Don’t cross me cause I don’t miss
yeah when I go
NIGHTSHIFT
light switch (light switch)
Don’t test me cause I won’t flinch
yeah when I go nightshift
when I go nightshift

When the moonlight hits me,
I turn into somebody else
I don’t even recognize myself
When I go nightshift like this
Don’t cross me cause I don’t miss
yeah when I go nightshift
light switch
Don’t test me cause I won’t flinch
yeah when I go

This is 100% Nocturnal part 2, the structure is the same, pre chorus build up, post chorus, even the final chorus (half chorus), and the bps or wpm are very similar. I love it
