Just now, Fishtails Supremacy said:I interpreted kintsugi as the way she feels about
the death of her three family members - her grandpa, then uncle Dave, then finally her grandma who passed away recently. she wasn't there for Dave obviously because she was in Monaco, and she's saying Chuck was there was for 3/3. The "Daddy I miss them" is about those three as well,,, and the folk songs line reminded me of (Excuse me) Taylor Swift's "passed down like folk songs our love lasts so long"
SpoilerMTE, there's a certain point the body can't come back from is such a heartbreaking lyric

There's a certain point the body can't come back from
pretty sure this is directly speaking to trauma - some things effect the body so deeply that it can't bounce back
In one year we've learned the turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
turn of the mouth is an interesting phrase, I believe it refers to the spoken word. so this line is saying that certain words were spoken that were so hurtful/traumatic that they really tested the depth of the chest cavity (the heart).
Chucky was there for three out of three
I was there for the third cause I couldn't be there for the one who was closest to me
This could be one of two things: (1) Chucky was the one who the hurtful words/trauma was directed at (therefore she was there for all three) and lana was there for the third - and last - instance. Perhaps lana witnessed someone truly hurting her sister and so she took her out of that scenario (which is why there wasn't a fourth) and why lana feels so protective/motherly of her. However its could also be (2) Lana disassociated for the first two traumatic events, but her sister witnessed them. This also makes sense because the next line is about her 'running' when things get too hard.
But I can’t say I run when things get hard
It's just that I don’t trust myself with my heart
But I’ve had to let it break a little more
Cause they say that's what it's for
That's how the light shines in
That's how the light shines in
It’s how the light gets in
You could read this as an affirmation that it's important to not disassociate (which is how it becomes a trauma, because it's relegated to the body instead of being processed in the mind) and that by truly bearing witness to your pain, your heart can grow fuller ("there's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" / kintsugi being about piecing together cracked vases to make them beautiful again.)
So everyone was there
They were standing, laughing
And I’m on the side with my tears streaming down
Something about the clutch of the wrist
This verse speaks to the third and final trauma that she witnessed (either happening to her or to her sister) and that she was 'on the side' aka the drama wasn't revolving around her, she was witnessing it happen (still don't know if this is because it's her sister or because she's disassociated)
He thought mine was his to cough into his mouth
We’ve only got hours, and I just can't stop crying
Cause all of the ways, when you see someone dying
The sea of your days flash in front of you
And you think about who will be with you
And then there's Donoghue
These lyrics seem way too personal/specific that I'm not sure they can be dissected without Lana shedding light on them, which is fine but also it's a slight criticism I have on the album, that some of the content is steeped in metaphor, symbolism and personal references that we're a bit locked out of the real meaning.
Daddy I miss them, I’m in the mountains
I’m probably running away from the feelings I get
When I think of all the things about them
Daddy I miss them, I’m at the Roadrunner Cafe
I’m probably running away from the thoughts in the day
That have things to do with them
But they say
That's how the light gets in
I'm guessing the "them" that she's referring to is her feelings/emotions. The chorus talks about 'running away' from her thoughts/pain, and we've established that she has a problem with disassociating from her pain, hence the trauma. perhaps she's saying that she wants to feel again. this could also be about being medicated/numb. "comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry, I've been running on "meds" for so long, I forgot how hot/cruel/intense the world was, until now...")
Think by the third of March, I was cracked open
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
There's a name for it in Japanese, it’s Kintsugi
Perhaps this is when she came off the meds/stopped disassociating/faced her trauma head on and allowed the 'cracks' to open up and let the light in.
SpoilerI think she's definitely talking about death, but this is an interesting way to interpret it too

Kintsugi lyrics:
SpoilerThere's a certain point
The body can't come back from
In 1 year we've learned
The turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takesChucky was there, for 3 out of 3
I was there for the 3rd cause I couldn't be
There for the one who was closest to meBut I can say I run

And I'm on the side with my tears streaming down
There's something about the clutch of the wrist
He thought mine was his to cough into his mouth
We've only got hours
And I just can't stop crying, cause all of the ways
When you see someone dying
You see all your days flash in front of you
And you think about who would be with you
And then there's DonoghueDaddy I miss them
I'm in the mountains
I'm probably running away from the feelings I hid
When I think of the things about them

Better things to do with them but they say
That's how the light gets in

There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi
They sing folk songs from the 40 Seasons
Before ?
How do my blood relatives know I love these songs
I don't know anyone left who knows songs that I sing
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets inBut daddy I miss them
I'm at the roadrunner cafe
Probably running away from the feelings today
In the snow capped mountains of the desert
Daddy I miss them
I'm in the mountains
Probably running away, I've been meaning to say
But there's nothing to do, except know that this is
That's how the light gets in
Like cracking, the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Then you're goldenJust another folk song, but anyway
I try too hard, but that's ok
It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in -

My attempt at transcribing Fishtail:
SpoilerDon't you dare say that you'll braid my hair
Babe if you don't really care
You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
Fishtail, what's the matter with it?Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
Slip softly in terrain
Not that smart, but I've got things to say
Palm trees in black and white
I like to watch them sway
You're so funny
I wish I could skinny dip inside your mindLately I've been thinking about how things used to be
Swinging in a night gown under the old oak tree
Almost victorian with you, you can talk to me
But lately
I can seeYou wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
Can't you see it?
For me you are the one and if I'm not the one for you
Don't you say itAll those ?
?
?
Baby if you care, baby don't you dare say
You'll braid my hair babe
Don't you dare say, let you braid my hair babe
If you don't really care
You wanted me sadder? in the hot hot sun
I know that we've got problems
I plan to adjust them another day
Palm trees in black and white
I see in technicolor
Maybe I'll take my glasses off so I stop painting red flags greenLately I've been sunning in the LA riverbed
Wearing nothing but the summer bruises on my knees
I like how you talk, how you speak
How you loving me
But lately
I can seeYou wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
Can't you see it?
For me you are the one and if I'm not the one for you
Don't you say itAll those summer days
?
?
Baby if you care, baby don't you dare say
You'll braid my hair, see
Baby if you care then, baby don't you dare say
If you really careDon't you ? say that you'll you braid my hair
When you get on tonight
If you don't really care
Yeah
Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair babe
If you don't really care
Say that you'll braid my hair
If you're not coming home to me
You want someone sadder
Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
Slip softly in terrain
I'm not that smart
But I've got things to sayHelp me out @fl0r1dakil0s

If you're talking about the quality, yes, it's awful because someone edited the fuck out of it, that's why it's distorted
