Everybody Scream

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh (ah)

Get on the stage (dance) and I call her (sing) by her first name (groove)
Try to stay away (move), but I always meet (shake) her back at this place (scream)
She gives me everything (love), I feel no pain
I break down, get up (no), do it all again
Because it's never enough (live) and she makes me feel loved (breathe)
I could come here (go) and scream as loud as I want (scream)

Everybody dance (ah)
Everybody sing (ah)
Everybody move (ah)
Everybody scream

Here, I don't have to be quiet
Here, I don't have to be kind
Extraordinary and normal all at the same time
But look at me run myself ragged
Blood on the stage
But how can I leave you when you're screaming my name?
Screaming my name

I will come to you in the evening, ragged and reeling
Shaking my gold like a tambourine
A bouquet of brambles, all twisted and tangled
I'll make you sing for me, I'll make you scream

Everybody dance (ah)
Everybody sing (ah)
Everybody move (ah)
Everybody scream

Here, I can take up the whole of the sky
Unfurling, becoming my full size
And look at me burst through the ceiling
Aren't you so glad you came?
Breathless and begging and screaming my name
Screaming my name

Everybody jump
Everybody sing
Everybody move
Everybody scream
Everybody shake
Put down your screen
Everybody up
Everybody scream

The witchcraft, the medicine, the spells and the injections
The harvest, the needle protect me from evil
The magic and the misery, madness and the mystery
Oh, what has it done to me?
Everybody scream

One Of The Greats

I crawled up from under the earth
Broken nails and coughing dirt
Spitting out my songs so you could sing along, oh
And with each bedraggled breath, I knew I came back from the dead
To show you how it's done, to show you what it takes
To conquer and to crucify, to become one of the greats
One of the greats

I kept a scream inside my chest, killed everyone I'd ever kissed
Hung them on the wall like trophies, each name, a stain upon my lips
I told the truth but could never see it through
You see yourself hung on the wall but that song is not about you
I wrote down all my fumbling visions transmitted by a television
Got everything I thought I wanted and cried hungover in a hotel closet

Did I get it right? Do I win the prize?
Do you regret bringing me back to life?

Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead
Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead

I did my best, tried to impress, my childhood dream made flesh
And my dresses and my flowering sadness, so like a woman to profit from her madness
I was only beautiful under the lights, only powerful there
Burned down at thirty-six
Why did you dig me up for this?

Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead
Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead

You'll bury me again, you'll say it's all pretend
That I could never be great being held up against such male tastes
'Cause who really gets to be one of the greats, one of the greats?
But I've really done it this time, this one is all mine
I'll be up there with the man and the ten other women
And the hundred greatest records of all time
It must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan
You're my second favorite frontman
And you could have me if you weren't so afraid of me
It's funny how men don't find power very sexy
So this one's for the ladies
Do I drive you crazy?
Did I get it right?

Did I get it right? Do I win the prize?
Do you regret bringing me back to life?
Did I get it right? Do I win the prize?
Do you regret bringing me back to life?

Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead
Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting-

Too feminine to function
A pile of bodies and a trail of destruction
I will let the light in, I will let some love in
I will be happy, it will be perfect
I will let the light in, I will let some love in
I will be happy, it will be perfect
I will let the light in (arms outstretched, back from the dead)

Streetlights bursting overhead
Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead
Arms outstretched, back from the dead
Streetlights bursting overhead
Arms outstretched
Arms outstretched
Streetlights bursting
Overhead
Overhead
Streetlights bursting
Overhead

Witch Dance

Open my legs, lied down with death
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
I pull him close
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
I twist, I fight
The foxes shatter in the night

Show me the way
This feeling leaves the ache, the kick, the need
Show me the way
This feeling leaves the ache, the kick, the need

A shimmering landscape, widen my eyes
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?

I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
Run through rain, run through fog
Taking conservation cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane
When I asked what I could offer them
They said, "Gin and tonic or lithium?"
I asked, "Which way should I go?"
Through cigarette-smoke they said
"Child, how would we know?"

Show me the way
This feeling leaves the ache, the kick, the need
Show me the way
This feeling leaves the ache, the kick, the need

'Cause I'm beyond reason
The way in the stage
A stranger came to my door
And I welcomed him in
My feet are bleeding
But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles
Yet to cross

I came to a clearing
Full of wailing and keening
A well of tears that never runs dry
The women said, "We've been waiting
Waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time"
Thrust my fists in the ground
And the Earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh
I could feel something shudder
Deeper and deeper down

And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
And all their violent offers, I just turned them away
And your threats and your promises, they don't scare me
After all, there's nobody more monstrous than me (woo)
Than me (woo)

Sympathy Magic

Memory fails me, names and faces blur
There is only after or before
Am I so different, have I changed?
I do not recognize my face
The scar fades but pulls inside
Tugging at me all the time
Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out
Crouched in a ball gown
Anxious and ashamed
The vague humiliations of fame

I do not find worthiness in virtue
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe
Like you told me that it would
So come on, tear me wide open
A terrible gift
Let the chorus console me
Sympathy magic

And light coming in the window just so
And the wind through my fingers
The only God that I know
And it does not want me on my knees to believe
Head high, arms wide
Aching-aching-aching

And alive
And alive
So I don't have to be worthy
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe
Like you told me that it would
So come on, tear me wide open
'Til I'm losing my mind
'Til I cannot contain it
La-da-da-da-da-da-da

So come on, come on, I can take it
Give me everything you got
What else, what else, what else, what else
So come on, come on, I can take it
Give me everything you got
What else, what else, what else, what else

Sympathy magic
Sympathy magic
So come on, come on, I can take it
Sympathy magic
Sympathy magic
So come on, come on, I can take it
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Sympathy magic (come on)
Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Sympathy magic (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Sympathy magic (come on)
Ah

Perfume and Milk

Perfume and milk, the body and bloom
The falling leaves, the falling fruit
The rot and the ruin, the earth and the worms
The seasons change, the world turns
Trees turn grey and the land turns brown
And a house in the woods on the edge of town
Bury it deep, swallow it down
Taking the hurt, it was a loyal crown
Doing the work and sleeping alone
Downloading "Revelations of Divine Love" on my phone
Trying to read, but getting distracted
Trying to live, but feeling so damaged

And all shall be well
All shall be well
Miracles are often inconvenient
And a prayer is a spell

I packed my bags and I got in the car
A pilgrimage to wherever you are
April comes with its blossoms, beaten by rain
Oh, the hope and the horror, singing daffodils again
The land, it thaws and the leaves turn green
And the blue stars of snow glories with the winter jasmine
Clothes of silk and satin, lace and leather
The one pink ribbon that holds me together

And all shall be well
All shall be well
Miracles are often inconvenient
And a prayer is a spell

And I am changing, becoming something else
A creature of longing, tending only to myself
Licking my wounds, burrowing down
In a house in the woods on the edge of town
Well, healing is slow, it comes and it goes
A glimpse of the sun in a flurry of snow
The first green shoots in a sudden frost
Oh, something's gained and something's lost
The rot and the ruin, the earth and the worms
The seasons change, the world turns
The world turns

Perfume and milk, the body and bloom
The falling leaves, the falling fruit
The rot and the ruin, the earth and the worms
The seasons change, the world turns
The world turns
The world turns
The world turns

Kraken

Sometimes my body seems so alien to me
I quiet it down by watching TV
Grow restless and grow hungry
As the water rises up around me
You come onscreen
So good looking it's obscene
I put my fist into my mouth and scream
Some things it seems are catching up with me
And as it rises to my chin, I should really stop watching
And as I reach for the remote, it is rushing down my throat
I let it in, I start to swim
I grow many arms and legs and then I start to sing

And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to tell you
I kissed them all and let them drown, oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me now?)

Creature from the deep, do I haunt you in your sleep?
My tentacles so tender, as I caress your cheek
Did you know how big I would become?
And how much I would eat?
So glamorous and ravenous as I drag you off your feet
There's nothing you can do
Some things it seems are catching up with you

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

You said I would be nothing, but look, I'm really something
Many arms around the mast as your ship starts cracking
Will you see me through the pain?
Have you changed? So have I
As I fix you in the gaze of my one and blinking eye
Do I terrify?

And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to tell you
I kissed them all and let them drown, oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?

The Old Religion

And the old religion humming in your veins
Some animal instinct starting up again
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release
So tired of being careful, so tired of being still
Give me something I can crush, something I can kill

A lightning strike, a fallen tree
I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me
But you can't outrun yourself, you'll see
And I'm powerless, oh, don't remind me

And it's the old religion but the urge remains the same
Freedom from the body, freedom from the pain
And it's your troubled hero back for season six
When it's at its darkest, it's my favourite bit

And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release
Watch me crawl on hands and knees
And scratch at the door of heaven

A lightning strike, a fallen tree
I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me
But you can't outrun yourself, you'll see
And I'm powerless, I know and don't remind me

And it's the old religion humming in your veins
Some animal instinct starting up again
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release

A lightning strike (and it's the old religion), a fallen tree
I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me
But you can't outrun (and it's the old religion) yourself, you'll see
And I'm powerless, oh, don't remind me

And it's your troubled hero back for season six
When it's at its darkest, it's my favourite bit

And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release
Watch me crawl on hands and knees
And scratch at the door of heaven

A lightning strike, a fallen tree
I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me
But you can't outrun yourself, you'll see
And I'm powerless, I know and don't remind me

And it's the old religion humming in your veins
Some animal instinct starting up again
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release

A lightning strike (and it's the old religion), a fallen tree
I'm not afraid, oh, don't let it find me
But you can't outrun (and it's the old religion) yourself, you'll see
And I'm powerless, oh, don't remind me

Drink Deep

Through bramble and briar
Under ash and oak
I went to find the hidden folk
They gave me guns and riches
Cut gold thread with their teeth
Every night I went to see them
No, I did not sleep
And every cup they brought to me
Oh, you know I dared

Drink deep
Drink deep

My eyes began to hollow
My skin began to fade
What I thought was a night was a thousand years
What I thought was a sip was a thousand tears
But still, they said

Drink deep
Drink deep

Like a thread that they spun
Was a woman's hair
And the gowns stitched from her tenderest flair
And the cup that they brought
Up to my lips
I realised I drank of myself

Yes, it came from me
It was made from me, ah
Still I drank deep
Still I drank deep, ah

Music by Men

In every book in the house, notes from you fall out
All the love that came my way, I found a way to push away
I don't wanna be afraid anymore
I don't wanna run from love like I had before
And on the way to couples therapy, you put your headphones in
So you didn't have to talk to me
Listening to our own demos on the ride home
You have a bigger ego than you think you do
Slide down in my seat so as not to threaten you

Let it be us, let it be home
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone

'Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it constantly
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes and leave
Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
Looking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt

I always thought I was nice, I thought I was kind
'Til I tried to do something that was almost real life
It's not like what I've seen in TV shows
It's not like what I've read in books
It's so much harder than it looks
And there isn't much applause
If it required practice and dedication, I just got bored
We discussed something called compromise
A brand new concept that I never tried

Let it be us, let it be home
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone

'Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it easily
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes and leave
Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
Looking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt, hmm

Breaking my bones, getting four out of five
Listening to a song by The 1975
I thought, "F*ck it, I might as well give music by men a try"

Let there be love, let there be light
Let there be a quiet day and an easy night
Let me put out a record and have it not ruin my life
Let it be us, let it be home
Let it not be a spotlight standing alone
Running back to the only love I could ever control

You Can Have It All

I sit in the salt water, caught in a vision of my daughter
Light a candle, place my grief upon the altar
Bird in my hands, a flower, a song
I used to think I knew what sadness was, I was wrong

A piece of flesh, a million pounds
Am I a woman now?
The crescent moon, an apple slice
Thick in the sky
The air smells of fruit and smoke
The season is ripe
I stay in the house, move the furniture about
Try and control what I can
And feel the world slip through my hand

You can have it all
You can have it all

Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
And from it grew a bright red tree
Shining with jagged leaves
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
And from it grew a bright red tree
Shining with jagged leaves
And when the wind blows, you can hear it

You can have it all
You can have it all

(You can have it all)
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
Am I a woman now?
(You can have it all)
Tree grows tall, can't cut me down
Am I a woman now?

And Love

And love was not what I thought it was
It crept up on me despite myself
And it was not a love song, it was something else
More like surrendering to something
And more like resting than running

Peace is coming
Peace is coming
Peace is coming
Peace is coming

And love was not what I thought it was
More like an animal crawling deep into a cave
Than a romance novel heroine being swept away
More like surrendering to something
And more like resting than running

Peace is coming
Peace is coming
Peace is coming

And love was not what I thought it was

Everybody Scream (Chamber Version)

Get on the stage 
And I call her by her first name 
I try to stay away 
But I always meet her back at this place 
She gives me everything, I feel no pain 
I break down, get up, and do it all again 
Because it's never enough 
And she makes me feel loved 
And I can come here and scream as loud as I want 
 
Everybody dance 
Everybody sing 
(Ah) Everybody move 
(Ah) Everybody scream 
 
Here, I don't have to be quiet 
Here, I don't have to be kind 
Extraordinary and normal all at the same time 
But look at me run myself ragged 
Blood on the stage 
But how can I leave you when you're screaming my name? 
Screaming my name 
 
I will come for you in the evening, ragged and reeling 
Shaking my gold like a tambourine 
A bouquet of brambles, all twisted and tangled 
I'll make you sing for me, I'll make you scream 
 
Everybody dance 
Everybody sing 
Everybody move 
Everybody scream 
 
Here, I can take up the whole of the sky 
Unfurling, becoming my full size 
And look at me burst through the ceiling 
Aren't you so glad you came? 
Breathless and begging and screaming my name 
Screaming my name 
 
Everybody jump 
Everybody sing 
Everybody move 
Everybody scream 
Everybody break 
Here on your knees 
Everybody up 
Everybody scream

Sympathy Magic (Chamber Version)

Memory fails me, names and faces blur 
There is only after, or before 
Am I so different? Have I changed? 
I do not recognise my face 
The scar fades but pulls inside 
Tugging at me all the time 
Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out 
Crouched in a ball gown 
Anxious and ashamed 
The vague humiliations of fame 
 
I do not find worthiness a virtue 
I no longer try to be good 
It didn't keep me safe 
Like you told me that it would 
So come on, tear me wide open 
A terrible gift 
Let the chorus console me 
Sympathy magic 
 
And light coming in the window just so 
And the wind through my fingers 
The only God that I know 
And it does not want me on my knees to believe 
Head high, arms wide 
Aching, aching, aching 
 
And alive 
And alive 
So I don't have to be worthy 
I no longer try to be good 
It didn't keep me safe 
Like you told me that it would 
So come on, tear me wide open 
'Til I'm losing my mind 
'Til I cannot contain it 
La-da-da-da-da-da-da 
 
So come on, come on, I can take it 
Give me everything you got 
What else? What else? What else? What else? 
So come on, come on, I can take it 
Sympathy magic

The Old Religion (Chamber Version)

And the old religion humming in your veins 
Some animal instinct starting up again 
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe 
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release 
So tired of being careful, so tired of being still 
Give me something I can crush, something I can kill 
 
A lightning strike, a fallen tree 
And I'm afraid, oh, don't let it find me 
But you can't outrun yourself, you'll see 
And I'm powerless, oh, don't remind me 
 
And it's the old religion but the urge remains the same 
Freedom from the body, freedom from the pain 
And it's your troubled hero back for season six 
When it's at its darkest, it's my favourite bit 
 
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe 
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release 
Watch me crawl on hands and knees 
And scratch at the door of heaven 
 
A lightning strike, a fallen tree 
And I'm afraid, oh, don't let it find me 
But you can't outrun yourself, you'll see 
And I'm powerless, I know, don't remind me

Everybody Scream Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Everybody Scream is the sixth studio album by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine, released on 31 October 2025 through Polydor and Republic Records. It is their first album in three years, following their 2022 album Dance Fever.

On 3 July 2025, the band began hinting at a new record when singer Florence Welch shared a carousel of images on her Instagram. The images showed Welch working with Idles guitarist Mark Bowen, and included mentions of themes, such as "witchcraft, folk horror, mysticism, magic, poetry [and] insanity". Another image depicted a whiteboard featuring various words and phrases, including "you can have it all", "clarity = power", and "Swans vs Adele".

The album, which follows on from 2022's Dance Fever, was created during and inspired by a time of healing and discovering the body's limits for Welch, who underwent life-saving surgery during 2023's Dance Fever Tour. Because of this, Welch told Zane Lowe during an interview that she feels Everybody Scream is her most personal Florence and the Machine album to date. She also mentioned the project's title coming from the idea of celebratory screaming and her exploration of why people would be screaming and the emotions and reasons associated with such a physical and emotional act.

Writing for NME, Laura Molloy awarded the album five stars out of five and praised Welch's presentation of the "brutal, ugly and raw sides of femininity" and "a chronically online generation clutching at new age practices for relief."

Everybody Scream debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with 31,369 units (15,476 CDs, 8,504 vinyl albums, 1,724 cassettes, 1,370 digital downloads and 4,295 sales-equivalent streams). The album marks the fifth number-one album from the band on the chart. In the US, Everybody Scream debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with 56,000 album-equivalent units, of which 44,000 were pure album sales.
