Sighs of a Torn Soul

Her best song, I can already tell.

It was done in 2011 with Chris Braide, same session as Million Dollar Man

do we know what year this is from and if it was meant  to  be on an album?
 
i saw something  saying it was supposed to  be on  BTD but it sounds a lot more recent  vocals/ production  wise..

One of her best I fear

i honestly heard "color wheel" and i'll just pretend it's that, because it sounds cool

i think it's "look at you painting cool in the color blue"
 
not "in the garden"? but that's just what i hear... but i'm like pretty sure...  edit i keep switching in between garden/color blue. let me know what u think

She needs to go back to this style of songwriting instead of writing about how haters purposefully perceive her as a culture vulture when she is anything but.

Hit the streets, city beat
I know what you want
Talk to me softly
French Restaurant
Every time I turn around
I look at you like "What now?"
I'm telling you it's all true
 
I'm talking to him while I'm thinking of you
I'm trying my best, I don't know what to do
I'm talking to you, don't know what it's about
 
I know they think that I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know it looks like I have everything)
But if I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know they they think that I have everything)
Why am I crying on the balcony?
(I know it looks like I have everything)
If I can't have you then they can't have me
Honestly
 
Super cool, swimming pool
Will you paint me sweet?
Look at you painting cool in the garden
Every time I turn around
I look at you like "What now?"
Can't one single thing be just what it appears to be?
 
I'm talking to him while I'm thinking of you
I'm trying my best, I don't know what to do
I'm talking to you, don't know what it's about
 
I know they think that I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know it looks like I have everything)
But if I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know they they think that I have everything)
Why am I crying on the balcony?
(I know it looks like I have everything)
If I can't have you then they can't have me
Honestly
(Yeah)
 
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know they think I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
I know it looks like I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
 
 
 

this specific song from lana is my mantra, including change and ride. my life has been so messed up, and I'm feeling so lost in the world around me. these songs help me keep my focus and understand that I am the best I can be. I can try, and if it doesn't work, that's fine. I take what I have in my hands for now and try again.

I had a dream when I was young
I dreamt our lives were going to be fun
We were always waiting to live
 

 
Crying to this song at 10am on a Monday. Idk if it's the pandemic or what, but this song and these lyrics, especially that line "we were always waiting to live", have really been hitting me hard lately. I guess I'm just going through a ~feeling stuck~ sort of time where I just feel like I'm alive but not like I'm really living? Living dead kind of thing I guess. Whew x

I feel like this song is kinda Lizzy cheering up herself. Lizzy before she became Lana. Lizzy dreaming of being Lana and something went wrong at that time. Powerful message actually - to never stop believing in yourself. And even if you fail - if your dreams don't come true - peace in life is all you need to be happy

For my 2000th post I wanted to express how much this song and Sirens mean to me. Lana, thank you for recording these masterpieces

I want cry everytime
No lie.
 
The whole song is so sad, I wish I could travel back in time to Lizzy's hard times and just hug her, even if she calls the cops, I just want to hold her
lmao :/
 
 
Such a powerful message
 
  "This is life, this tonight, peace in the quiet Happiness is the sky" 

These lyrics are beautifully simple and the delivery kills me every time
I really admire that even just with her voice, Lana managed to create such an atmospheric song.

I’d kill to hear her do even an a capella snippet of this live

I like the lyrics and melody..it's just her voice I don't like in this particular song. It's too sickly sweet.

This is sooo a 2006 version of Black Beauty... The lyrics reign in the same context : a lover who is stuck in his old ways while Lana is trying to bring him to something greater, but it never works.
 
"The sun beams mean nothing if you can’t find the light shining in one thing" And come on, this could be a lyric in Black Beauty
 
On another note, it makes me so sad that some people don't like Sirens / Young Like Me / In The End just because of their acoustic sound. If I'm being honest, it has her best lyrics and some AMAZING pure vocals (besides Birds of a Feather ) I don't know what I'd do for Lana just to mention Junky Pride, if it had a 2017 version that sounded like something from UV then it would for sure become one of the stan favs 

honestly, why isn't this song more popular in lana community? das THE SHIT! the lyrics are so beautiful and sad, almost heart-breaking... especially the part "My dreams are bigger than your junky pride" ... it's such an amazing story about a woman who loves her man but can't watch his drug addiction, they are growing apart, she needs to move on because she cannot help him...

best song on sirens 
 
 

Why are there no comments on THIS BOP

 
I always cry to it sensually, it's one of her best acoustic vocal driven songs.

Was listening to Sirens on the way in to work this morning when I realized these lyrics likely foreshadow her lying about her age.
