Troye Sivan Mellet nació el 5 de junio de 1995 en Johannesburgo, Sudáfrica. Sin embargo, su familia se mudó a Perth, Australia, cuando él tenía solo dos años. Desde muy joven, Sivan demostró un talento natural para la música y la actuación. Conocer sus raíces y la fortaleza de su familia fueron piedras angulares en su desarrollo personal y profesional.
En 2007, a la tierna edad de 12 años, Sivan lanzó su canal en YouTube. En este espacio digital, comenzó a compartir covers de canciones populares, lo que rápidamente llamó la atención de una creciente audiencia. Su carisma y habilidad vocal no pasaron desapercibidos, y fue a través de esta plataforma donde empezó a construir una base sólida de seguidores.
Los talentos de Troye no se limitaban solo a la música. Su primer gran papel llegó en 2009, cuando fue elegido para interpretar al joven James Howlett en la película X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Este rol le permitió ganar una mayor visibilidad y demostró su versatilidad artística.
Firmar con una discográfica fue el siguiente paso lógico para Troye. En 2014, lanzó su primer EP titulado TRXYE, que incluyó el éxito "Happy Little Pill". La respuesta fue inmediata y positiva, catapultándolo a la fama internacional. Este lanzamiento le valió un puesto en el Billboard 200, alcanzando el número 5 en su semana de estreno.
Trying hard not to fall
On the way home
You were trying to wear me down, down
Kissing up on fences and up on walls
On the way home
I guess it's all working out, now
'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
Too long till I drown in your hands
Too long since I've been a fool
Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild
'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild
(Wild, wild, hey!)
White noise in my mind
Won't calm down
You're all I think about
Running on the music and night highs
But when the light's out it's me and you now, now
'Cause there's still too long to the weekend
Too long till I drown in your hands
Too long since I've been a fool
Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild
'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You make my heart shake
Bend and break
But I can't turn away
And it's driving me wild
You're driving me wild
You make my heart shake
Bend and break
But I can't turn away
And it's driving me wild
You're driving me wild
(Hey!)
Leave this blue neighbourhood
Never knew loving could hurt this good, oh
And it drives me wild
'Cause when you look like that
I've never ever wanted to be so bad, oh
It drives me wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
You're driving me wild, wild, wild
(Wild, wild)
(Wild, hey!)
I am tired of this place
I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave away
And my hopes, they are high
I must keep them small
Though I try to resist
I still want it all
I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children’s names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it’s my mistake
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Oh, our lives don’t collide
I’m aware of this
We've got differences and impulses and your obsession with it
The little things you like stick and I like aerosol
I don’t give a fuck, I'm not giving up
I still want it all
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children’s names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it’s my mistake
Only fools fall for you, only fools fall
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools fall
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you (only fools)
Only fools do what I do (only fools)
Only fools fall for you (only fools)
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall (Only fools)
(Only fools)
(Only fools)
(Only fools)
(Only fools)
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
'Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3 A.M. shadow
I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
'Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw that line, when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
(Talk me down)
So if you don't mind, I'll walk that line
Stuck on the bridge between us
Gray areas and expectations
But I'm not the one if we're honest, yeah
But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
I wanna be close to you
But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
So come over now and talk me down
(Talk me down)
