So are we made just to fight
All our lives
End it all on the bottom line
Hold back my hair, why you kiss my face
When I lay my body down
I erase your place
Hold back my hair, why you kiss my face
When I lay my body down
I erase your place
Who am I
He heard me
Who am I
He heard me
Who am I
Heard my name and it changed that day
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
End it all the bottom line
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
Chain my name, chain my name
Chain my name, chain my name beside you
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
Chain my name, chain my name
Chain my name, chain my name beside you
Not this time
Not this time
Please, not this time
Who am I
He heard me
Who am I
He heard me
Who am I
Heard my name and it changed that day
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
End it all the bottom line
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
Chain my name, chain my name
Chain my name, chain my name beside you
All our lives
Chain my name, chain my name
Chain my name, chain my name beside you
Beside you
Not this time
Don't make it easier on me
Have you had enough
Please
Don't make it easier on me
No, I can't be trusted with love
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
Chain my name, chain my name
Chain my name, Chain my name beside you
So are we made just to fight
All our lives
Chain my name, chain my name
Chain my name, chain my name beside you
Not this time
About This Song
"Chain My Name" is a haunting exploration of identity dissolution within a toxic relationship, where the narrator grapples with losing herself while being consumed by another's presence. The song's dreamy, atmospheric production-featuring Poliça's signature blend of ethereal vocals, electronic textures, and R&B-influenced rhythms-creates a hypnotic backdrop for lyrics that oscillate between intimacy and erasure. Themes of self-destruction and codependency emerge as the narrator describes literally erasing her partner's place when she "lays her body down," suggesting both physical intimacy and emotional obliteration. The repeated questioning of "Who am I" reveals a profound identity crisis, while the title itself implies being bound or constrained by how others define us. The track exemplifies Poliça's ability to transform personal vulnerability into expansive, genre-blending art that captures the disorienting experience of losing oneself in love's darker territories.
