Get lost in the bittersweet haze of “Cinnamon,” a standout track from BENEE’s second album Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles, poised to cement her as New Zealand’s indie-pop queen. Fresh off her 2025 single “Bite” and electrifying sets at festivals like Laneway, BENEE pours raw heartache into this cut, blending her signature quirky charm with a moody, introspective edge. With lines like “I’ll stay sweet like cinnamon, I’ll stay asleep until 3PM,” she captures the ache of betrayal and the struggle to hold onto softness amid chaos. The track’s dreamy synths and lo-fi beats, likely crafted with longtime collaborator Josh Fountain, wrap her vocals in a haze that’s both vulnerable and defiant, echoing the emotional pull of her Lychee EP but with a sharper, post-breakup sting.
Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles, teased as a cosmic exploration of love and self-doubt, sees BENEE diving deeper into her genre-blending bag, mixing indie-pop with R&B flourishes. “Cinnamon” fits perfectly, its jealous spirals and floor-waking lows tying into the album’s arc of grappling with fleeting adoration, much like tracks such as “Glow” might. Fans on TikTok and Reddit are already buzzing about its relatable sting, comparing it to her earlier hits like “Supalonely” for its catchy yet cutting honesty. Whether it’s the leech-like exes or the plea to be adored, this song’s a diary entry you’ll feel in your bones, perfect for late-night replays. Dive into the Cinnamon lyrics below and unpack its tender ache. Don’t miss other Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles tracks like Demons for more of BENEE’s cosmic heartbreak glow.
Lyrics of Cinnamon by BENEE
[Verse 1]
Whereabouts Did You Go?
Not What I Had Imagined
I Wouldn’t Stoop So Low
But You Went Out And Screwed All Of La
I Think I’ll Call It A Day
I Think I Might Get Lost
You’re Like A Leech On My Brain
You’re Like A Band-aid Ripped Off
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t Even Know Where To Go
Next Thing You Know, I’m A Jealous Girl
Keep Talking, Like, Let’s Postpone
I Fall Into A Danger Zone
[Chorus]
I Might Not Laugh Again
I’ll Cross My Fingers ’til The End
And I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
I’ll Stay Asleep Until 3Pm
I Might Not Laugh Again
I’ll Cross My Fingers ’til The End
And I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
I’ll Stay Asleep Until 3Pm
I’ll Wake Up On The Floor
Not Asking Much, To Be Adored
They Reel Me In, Then It Gets Dark
A Broken B, I Fall Apart
I’ll Wake Up On The Floor
Not Asking Much, To Be Adored
They Reel Me In, Then It Gets Dark
[Verse 2]
Message You In The Dark
Busy When I Tried To Call
Try To Get My Anger Out
I’m Getting Sick Of Obstacles
Who Hurt You? Was It Me?
Better The Less I Know
I Wake Up On The Floor
Not Asking Much, You Know?
I Only Want To Be Adored
Fall Into A Jealous Ball
Might Just Let Go
I Was Drinking, Surfing And Sinking
[Chorus]
I Might Not Laugh Again
I’ll Cross My Fingers ’til The End
And I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
I’ll Stay Asleep Until 3Pm
I Might Not Laugh Again
I’ll Cross My Fingers ’til The End
And I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
I’ll Stay Asleep Until 3Pm
I’ll Wake Up On The Floor
Not Asking Much, To Be Adored
They Reel Me In, Then It Gets Dark
A Broken B, I Fall Apart
I’ll Wake Up On The Floor
Not Asking Much, To Be Adored
They Reel Me In, Then It Gets Dark
A Broken B, I Fall Apart
[Outro]
Just Like Cinnamon, Cinnamon, Cinnamon
I Might Not Laugh Again
I’ll Cross My Fingers ’til The End
And I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
I’ll Stay Asleep Until 3Pm
I Might Not Laugh Again
I’ll Cross My Fingers ’til The End
And I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
I- I’ll Stay Sweet Like Cinnamon
