BlauDisS x whikerms x &Tilly  - Then She Ran

Burnin' in Berlin

While we were working on the song, a random debate about different versions of #Hurt (Nine Inch Nails vs. Johnny Cash vs. everything else) sparked in the office. When we revealed we were working on our own rendition, we ended up playing our (at that time unfinished) track for our colleagues. The moment a guys from nearby office rushed in, frantically Shazaming, we knew we were onto something.

Our interpretation of Hurt takes a synth-based approach with a dream pop base and the trademark vulnerability of &Tilly. The theme is so close to our own musical universe, and we're thrilled with how our Hurt turned out.

The accompanying video was filmed at the abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, lending the song a somber yet fitting vibe that we accentuated with red and blue tones. We hope you can resonate with our take on this legendary song, although part of us hopes you can't - because if you can, it means you've experienced your own share of hurt, too.

We also highly recommend visiting the Eastern State Penitentiary if you're ever in Philly. It's a controversial piece of history and architecture that left a huge impression on us 👉 https://easternstate.org

Hurt lyrics:

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
And I am still right here

What have I become?
My Swedish friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I will find a way

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I’m wretched when
The fomo hits
I don't wanna stand there looking out of the window, but 
I don't wanna stick out when everybody here, fits in

Approachable
Disposables
I don’t wanna go if I don't know there's an exit
I don’t wanna go if there’s no way to get out but then

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out or no-one else does
Who cares?

I’m all out of
Neglectful of
Voices thoughts opinions and hanging around with them
I don't want to start something if we’ll just fall out again

The messenger 
Speaks semaphore
All I’m doing, is trying to, let someone know, that I
I don’t hold a grudge, but I know, I’m not meant to be out

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Who even cares?

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I haven’t got time for you
I’d rather spend time by myself
I like me more than you
Don’t make me lie the truth

I’ve got a million nice excuses
And you know I don’t mind
Being alone
I don’t care to go out to be judged
And I don’t want to take flight with the beast of the night

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look, to stare
Cos I’m not drunk enough to forget to care

I’ve been there in the lights before
A quarter to four in a blur on the floor
Take a shot of spirit
With a thirst for more
Made me a monster

But you know I don’t mind
Being alone
I don’t care to go out to be judged
And I don’t want to take flight with the beast of the night

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look, to stare
Cos I’m not drunk enough to forget to care

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look, to stare
Cos I’m not drunk enough to forget to care

Oooh ooh ahh yeah ahh ahhh
Ohh ohh

I can see the beast, beast of the night
And it looks like
Our last fight 

I can feel the fever of the night
And it sounds like
The best times and the worst times

I don't mind
Being alone
I don’t care to go out to be judged
And I don’t want to take flight with the beast of the night

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look to stare
Cos I’m not enough to forget to care

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look to stare
Cos I’m not enough to forget to care

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

Oooh
Ahhh
Ahhh

I see you, in every face
I want you, to be close to me
I meet you, then play it over again
I’d love to, tell you what you mean to me
Ahhh

No love can pull like the unrequited kind
I’d spill my blood to take a thorn from your side
No good can come, from this unrequited, time spent
Listening, imagining, over again
I’d give it up – please
Take this breaking heart of mine

I call your name, when I’m out with someone else
I breathe you in, when somebody wears your scent
I text you to tell you, anything happening
I’d love to, tell you what you mean to me
Ahhh

No love can pull like the unrequited kind
I’d spill my blood to take a thorn from your side
No good can come, from this unrequited, time spent
Listening, imagining, over again
I’d give it up – please
Take this breaking heart of mine

You’re my unrequited love
Unrequited love
Unrequited love
Unrequited love

Why can’t you see, can’t you see
I’m just as good as good can be
Why can’t you be, good to me
I’m just as good as good can be           

Why can’t you see, can’t you see
I’m just as good as good can be
Why can’t you be, good to me
I’m just as good as good can be       

The closer we get the more it tears us apart
You’re my shoulder to cry on, tears pour past my heart
Your somebody else doesn’t know how I’ve felt - 
How I long to be them more than anyone else 
I’m just as good as good can be

No love can pull like the unrequited kind
I’d spill my blood to take a thorn from your side 
No good can come, from this unrequited, time spent
Listening, imagining, over again
I’d give it up – please
Take this breaking heart of mine

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I think about you when wake up
I think about you in the shower when I soap myself
Think about you when I get dressed
I think about you at breakfast

In my head I hear the messages maybe one day you’ll send
If we were best friends, maybe more
In my head I am imagining
We could be a special thing
Maybe be significant

I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna feel you - feels good
In slow motion
Feel you so close
In each moment
Over you all afternoon

I think about you when I go out
I think about you on the journey home I’m all alone 
Think about you when I get drunk - again
I think about you getting into bed

In my head I hear mixed messages 
Not sure I should feel like this
Maybe I’m just envious of your cool
In my head I am imagining
We could be a special thing
Maybe be significant

I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna feel you - feels good
In slow motion
Feel you so close
In each moment
Over you all afternoon

I’m in love, with the fantasy in my dreams
Wait! Don’t let me try to make this a reality, baby
Wait! Don’t let me fall

I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna feel you - feels good
In slow motion
Feel you so close
In each moment
Over you all afternoon

I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna girl crush over you all afternoon
I just wanna feel you - feels good
In slow motion
Feel you so close
In each moment
Over you all afternoon
