lightning tears

on the booklet topic (kind of) i was thinking she didn't put much effort in the physical versions of the album because she's holding out hope for the film to come to fruition next year. then the booklet would have stills from the movie like k-12s and the deluxe tracks would also be featured on the cds and vinyls. personally id want it to get get reissued with more songs (fingers crossed) and be renamed ALL THE PORTALS

mine FINALLY arrived today  i have to echo what others said about the flimsy 3 page booklet  but at least mine didn't have any scratches

I think Light Shower is great but that’s because it makes me think of my s/o 

Um y’all clean your ears PORTALS is great.

Ok so after weeks of being in denial i think i’ll admit to loving light shower….  like.. i know how corny it is and the eating you line always lowkey kills the mood but smth about it feels so charming. like she’s in love and happy and the song feels corny in a weird loving way.. i wonder how verde feelings hearing her say she wants to eat him tho..  

Tunnel Vision has no business hitting THIS HARD still… 
 
she did what? That is what she did! 

HOW STUPID SELFISH BABY 

Here’s 10 reasons why Garden should have made it into the album:
 
1. It would be the track that the album cover would be based on. It’s literally a garden portal. 
2. “When you aren’t around I sink into the ground.” - Death
3. “Honeysuckle and Fresh Meat” - Tunnel Vision
4. “Mushrooms Everywhere I’m Turning” - Faerie Soiree
5. “Covered in muck from the earth (Garden) and the sea (Sirens)” - Venus
6. “You cleansed me like a waterfall” - Light Shower in response to “hey where’d the water go?” 
7. The entire song Spider Web is meant to go into Garden. Garden is suppose to be between leeches and Spider Web.
8. “They flocked to my garden” - Leeches
9. The seeds have been sprouting” - Pluto
10. “Dug out a hole, and sow, that’s where your body goes” - Garden connects well with Death.
 
In conclusion, Garden connects in theme and lyrics to over half the album and deserved to be included. 
 
While The Contortionist and Powder don’t connect thematically at all to any of the album (Though both of those songs are AMAZING). 

“Thimble on my thumb there’s a mess man, covering the blood on his haaaaands”

milk of the siren kinda her best song ever

I know that's right, Apple Music

I could win a fight on my period  🩸 
 
Matter fact  🤩
 
Right now I could build a pyramid  🇪🇬
 
i just can't believe that's on an official studio album it's silly in the best way i love melanie like yes girl fuck Oliver Tree 

Just noticed the ‘twisting all my bones like screws’ line in TC is similar to the line about turning screws in Needle and Thread. So many lyrical connections with the scrapped songs. 

Tunnel Vision for sure. The visualizer for the live performances is basically the cover. 

tunnel vision (that new intro mentions a portal)

i have my lenticular

🧐

I always heard celestial dip all that ego and pride
 
Edit - genius still says what I've had

Maybe one day she caught Oliver Tree performing autofellatio on himself and thought it would be clever to write about it. The only reasonable explanation I can think of atm
