The Path

Lorde pulls back the curtain on her Solar Power album with this opening track. Summing up the record's theme, the song's message is that rather than looking to celebrities like the New Zealand singer for answers, we should turn to the natural world. She told The Guardian it's an odd place to start, "But I know enough about how people view me - we're taught to view famous people as gods now – and I just wanted to dismantle that."

The first verse recounts Lorde's rise from a New Zealand bush girl to a "teen millionaire." She talks of the overwhelming pressure and anxiety she endured as a famous singer still in her formative years.

Lorde sets the second verse at the 2016 Met Gala, where the teen was one of many superstars present. She recalls stealing a fork to show her mother, showing she still is the same down-to-earth Kiwi girl.
