"Switchblade" Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
This is looking like I might just wanna stay
Can’t remember much about yesterday
Ground is glowing, I’m slowing my stride with every step
(Take a good look at it girl, take a good look at this world, ah)
Electric rivers flow by the silhouette trees
We skinny dip and soak in all of our past dreams
And all my new friends dazzle like they’re royals
(Take a good look at it girl, take a good look at this world, ah)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
What is this place?
The skies are vast and no one’s a familiar face but I’m not afraid...
[Chorus]
Kinda feeling brave!
The winds of change have nothing on this switchblade faith
I’ll take it to my grave
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
The night is young and it’s wild
I’m running free like a child
on the crown of a mountain and I could keep goin’ for miles
I don’t know what’s coming next
I feel a buzz in my legs
But heaven knows that I’m quick on my feet and
good with a blade and some old-fashioned faith in a place like this
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Feeling bulletproof and far from faces I don’t miss
So many brand new risks to take
[Chorus]
And I’m feeling brave!
The winds of change have nothing on this switchblade faith
I’ll take it to my grave
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro (x2)]
Lining’s silver Grass is greener And I’m on my way
Brightest flicker Ain’t no quitter I’ll be here to stay
Lining’s silver
Grass is greener
And I’m not afraid
Cause I’m running with a switchblade

we can all agree that NIKI is the queen of versatility
No
Too early
Someday
Can we all agree that niki is queen .
@@danielk9197 did i fucking ask? you could've just ignored this if you're that annoyed you fuck head. corona isn't a joke, stop fucking hoping i'd get one.
It's like she's covering her own song and making it better than the original. I stan the right artist, then. ✨❤️
Well she's literally covering her own song and make it better.
yes agree
YESS
I prefer this over the original alot
soundcloud.com/peekato/untitled-aftermaths believe me or not youll be addicted to this song once youll hit the play button !!!!!!!!
Original version - hmm I'm not sure how I feel about this
Stripped version - OH *NOW* I get it
same
Samee
Same!!!!
yeppp, tbh the original version is still not doing it for me 😆
same
It actually disappoints me and triggers me how underrated this talented girl is. She deserves so much recognition and it needs to be shown to the world 🥺😔❤️💖
she’s our little secret for now but tbh she’s actually getting more recognition now that it makes me sad bc everyone will get to know this precious treasure but she deserves it so 💖💖💖
shhh shes our little secret on how to bless our ears
Wait, she's underrated?
@@nonopenothing yea kinda
@@NightcoreUniverseZ well i dont think so, by looking at her monthly listeners on spotify, i think she's quite famous, well idk
ok NO CAP my baby NIKI's versatility in music is mind-bending; she can make anything sound effortlessly beautiful she doesn't have ONE bad song not ONE
no lies
facts
That is like, you're opinion man...
@@thebakeddonut2038 *your + i never said that you had to agree with me! it's just my extraordinarily STRONG opinion :)
@@lucyh.9933 Congratulations, you corrected me on the most commonly misspelled word.
Also don't be lame, there are bad songs. You are just a hardcore fan 😐
Also why tf do you feel the need to defend your dumb comment lmaoooo
it's about her moving on from jakarta leaving all her familiar faces to USA. little girl vs big world. nothing sounds easy but there she goes, a moonchild with a switchblade 🗡️🌙✨
jacob ray literally being the boyfriend of the year, supporting his queen in every acoustic sessions and the making of her magnificent album...talking about a power couple ❤️
no offense but niki's literally the most amazing person in this planet
rory omg is that mimiyuh as ur icon? haha so cute
@@kayexdc yup hahaha
nice offense
true
UP
I'm always in awe of how talented Niki is. She's a big inspiration for an Asian artist like myself.
Bro i subbed to you rn bcos you have my support, i see it i subbed
Yes she is
sneak clout chasing i see, cant sub dishonesty
It's just one song but she could make it so different, literally the queen of versatility
EXACTLY great minds think alike
Agreed
She’s versatile because she’s a reptilian shapeshifter who can be any form at any given moment. Keep asking questions
*investigate Niki, keep asking questions

LITERALLY GOT CHILLS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING WE ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A QUEEN
In an interview with Forbes, Niki talks about the deeper meaning behind “Switchblade.”
"Moving to the U.S. all the way from Indonesia and not really knowing what I was in for, but having this iron-clad attitude and outlook for conquering whatever is in your way and what you encounter."
Her attitude is represented best in the chorus, where we assume her “switchblade,” or attitude, is by her side to protect from whatever will be thrown at her.
The music video also symbolizes it more, a moonchild arrived in a whole different world. Despite being surrounded by a lot of unfamiliar creatures she's feeling kinda brave, cuz she exploring it with a switchblade.
For me personally, this song has really deep meaning and I relate to it on a spiritual level. It's about adapting to a new environment and knowing that one will be alright with the determination and attitude one has. This song hits different as I'm now in my new high school. Ain't no familiar faces but I'm running with a switchblade! 😊🔥
I really love NIKI, she wrote all of her songs herself, and every song is written beautifully. She's not just a singer, she's also a storyteller. 🥰
I share the same sentiments! The bridge especially awakes something in me “lining silver, grass is greener and I’m on my way. Brightest flicker, ain’t no quieter and I’m not afraid” these two lines are almost like a mantra to me whenever I find myself in unfamiliar situations that make me anxious but deep down inside I know that they’ll grow me into my highest self✨✨
DAMN!

Is there a love button that I can press?!?! Damn, her vocal is stellar.
this version is sOOO SO GOOD
we need more acoustic and stripped version of NIKI’s song!!!
PUT ON SPOTIFY PLEASEE
Niki, you were my queen when you were just starting. Now you're a goddess.
this song speaks so much to me. i remember leaving my high school hometown. HS wasn’t that good for me. I went to a university far away & started my new life. change can be scary but you need it to grow. i am just happy to know that people can listen to this as they move forward to the new chapters of their lives and will not be afraid. They will be encouraged to take risks & believe more in themselves.
I know right! The meaning of this song hits me on a spiritual level. Love her! :)
Try to listen this with a headphone....it feels different
The only vocals that matters.
VLM !!
Nah music is also good . Villa chills 😋🏙️
Tbh listening to niki’s voice hits different any time of the day. Niki is always inspiring to watch!
