Alison by Slowdive 26,154 Posted January 14, 2023 i had no idea this song was originally just "cinnamon" but as a 💖neil young stan💖 i think its title is perfect!! the song's about a push and pull dynamic - her high high neglectful lover pushes her away, lana tries to find a way back in. at the same time, lana emotionally distances herself from him in an effort to keep the peace, cuz she just wants to be held without being hurt the lyrics and meaning of neil young's song are rly intentionally vague - u don't even know if the "cinnamon girl" he sings abt is real or... anything abt her at all but at the v least, she's idealised ("i could be happy the rest of my life w a cinnamon girl"). this air of distance and dreaminess and unreality is what lana evokes w her song + by not talking abt the things u wanna talk abt and just letting the guy live, she's being v neil young's cinnamon girl cool girl monologue etc "cinnamon girl" could also be abt an experience during her redhead born to die days lol 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
