Put “No roots” on pause for a second and press play on Alice Merton’s new music video for “Lash out”.
Written by Alice herself with Grammy-nominated US songwriter and record producer Dave Bassett (Fitz and the Tantrums, Elle King), the track is the third single from “No roots” EP.
The choreography-filled music video, co-directed by Max Nadolny & Jonas Stark, was shot between Berlin and South Africa. You can see cars destroyed, a classroom and…laser swords!

Lyrics:
I can feel it on the back of my tongue
All of the words, getting trapped in my lungs
Heavy like a stone, waiting for the river to run
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold
This fire inside me
Oh, I know
sometimes it’s frightening
Hard to hold
This fire inside me
Oh, oh
It’s not really like me
To lash out
I gotta let it out
I wanna lash out
I wanna lash out
I’ve got something to say
Might start a riot
Rip that tape from my mouth
I won’t be quiet
Cause everything is nothing
Till you realise it’s something you want
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold
This fire inside me
Oh, I know
Sometimes it’s frightening
Hard to hold
This fire inside me
Oh, oh
It’s not really like me
To lash out
I gotta let it out
I wanna lash out
I gotta let it out
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
Lash out!
I wanna let it out!
Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold
This fire inside me
Oh, I know
Sometimes it’s frightening
Hard to hold
This fire inside me
Oh, oh
It’s not really like me to
Lash out
I wanna let it out
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
I gotta lash out!
