Maggie Lindemann’s ‘Knife Under My Pillow’ Lyrics

By  | 

Maggie Lindemann released her latest single “Knife Under My Pillow.” The new track is the first release for 2020 and debut under Caroline Records.

On the track, her dynamic voice coils around distorted guitar as the momentum builds towards a high-
energy hook. Integrating nineties-style grit and modern pop vulnerability, the track affirms Maggie as
an unpredictable, unapologetic, and undeniable presence. Of the song Maggie says; “I started watching
horror movies at a super young age which I think is what probably sparks this fear in my brain. When I
was a little kid my biggest fear was being kidnapped. But I swear to you there was something going on
in this house I was living in. I actually really did start sleeping with a knife under my pillow.”

Most importantly, this single sets the stage for the arrival of a new body of work which will come out
early 2021. The project illustrates the evolution of her artistry with confessional choruses, heart-on-her-
sleeve lyrics, and a new self-possessed power.

 

“KNIFE UNDER MY PILLOW” LYRICS:

Sorry I don’t mean to freak you out
But I hear someone inside my house
Heart racin’ keepin’ me awake
Paranoia's slippin’ in
Checkin’ all the locks again
It’s so loud inside my head
Got me feelin' paralyzed
I can’t sleep without the lights
A chill is runnin’ down my spine
Starin’ out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it’s all inside my mind
Oh I’m holdin’ on for dear life
Why’s this happen to me all the time
Got me starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it’s all inside my mind
I know i’ve made this call before
Not cryin' wolf i’m pretty sure
There’s just some fears you can’t erase
Paranoia's slippin’ in
Checkin’ all the locks again
It’s so loud inside my head
Got me feelin' paralyzed
I can’t sleep without the lights
A chill is runnin’ down my spine
Starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it’s all inside my mind
Oh I’m holdin’ on for dear life
Why’s this happen to me all the time
Got me starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it’s all inside my mind
But it’s all inside my mind
