Shades

um holy shit i am blown away so far. not listening in order so i am currently sobbing to To Be Loved... holy fuck

the older i get the more i realize lana was never even a sad girl. she barely has any 'sad songs'

not at all... he is a perfect complement and i would love to hear more music from them together.
this song wouldn't work (as well) without him. it would still sound incredible with Lana singing the verses too, but this is so much more powerful

no, this alters the meaning of the song/line. her point is, Picasso, who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time, created much of his work out of the bleak darkness of his depression. she is essentially saying "if he hadn't felt that way, the art we enjoy so much wouldn't have existed, just like my songs wouldn't if I wasn't sad." It's a bit of a controversial take (the whole you need to be tortured to be an artist trope), but your line alters the meaning to "how would U like it if someone asks u not to be sad when ur sad -_-"

these are so good! are you a writer

pitchfork again proves itself to be run by tone-deaf, uncultured rats. no surprise here

aaaaahhhh omg okay so im glad this topic exists !!! i think about this a lot for some reason?? just tiny lil tweaks id make if i could to "improve" the lyrics idk cause every now and then a lyric will really bug me 
 
from Text Book - "It seemed only appropriate you'd defend when they attack", because i hate how she rhymes "back" with "back" 
 
from Freak - "Looking back at my past it's even stranger than your danger", because "stranger than a stranger" is terrible but also i feel like this lyric tweak would reflect the idea that lana's past (or the narrator's past in general) was wild enough that she's not scared of anything anymore, yknow??
 
from Nectar of the Gods - "I get wild on you baby, I get wild and fucking crazy as the sky is blue" because the colour blue isn't crazy at all?? the original is such a weird lyric?? so the only way i can think to make it work would be to make it "crazy as the sky is blue", bc the sky sure is blue so that must mean she sure is crazy, right??
 
from Honeymoon - "Or whatever you wanna do, no Gods no rules" just because I find the lyric "we make the rules" a bit cringe and juvenile for some reason
