Discover the story of the song > Buzzcut Season – Lorde

The song talks about a time when the protagonist's partner's head caught on fire, but they laughed it off because it's the season for buzzcuts. The world around them is full of chaos and bad news, but they choose to ignore it because they are living in their own perfect world, doing things they enjoy together, like riding the bus with their knees pulled in and drinking burnt-out cola. They feel like they are living in a world that's not quite real, but they are happy as long as they are together.
