Say Yes to Heaven Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I was reading Slim Arons and I got to thinking that I thought Maybe I’d get less stressed if I was tested less like all of these debutantes Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts, but I’m not Baby, I’m not No, I'm not That, I'm not I’ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown 24/7 Sylvia Plath Writing in blood on my walls ‘Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad Don't ask if I'm happy You know that I'm not But at best I can say I'm not sad ‘Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have I had fifteen-year dances, church basement romances, yeah, I've got Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums is the only love i've ever known Except for the stage which I also call home when I'm not Servin' up god in a burnt coffee pot for the triad Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad Calling from beyond the grave I just wanna say, "Hi, Dad" I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown Like a goddamn near sociopath Shaking my ass is the only thing that's got this black narcissist off my back She couldn't care less, and I never cared more, so there's no more to say about that Except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past There's a new revolution, a loud evolution, that I saw Born of confusion and quiet collusion of which mostly I've known A modern day woman with a weak constitution cause I've got Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown 24/7 Sylvia Plath Writing in blood on your walls cause the ink my pen don't look good in my pad They write that I'm happy They know that I'm not But at best you can see I'm not sad But hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have But I have it Yeah, I have it Yeah, I have it I have Edited May 21, 2021 by Elle corrected lyrics x 28 Quote

13bitches Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 *less stressed 1 Quote If by not 'up to par' you mean distilling the worst elements that only kind of work in songs, sure. I could put a dictionary audiobook on shuffle and put it to an instrumental of old money and some of y'all would still be saying it's 50/50 lmfao.

Flowerbomb Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I've always been a huge fan of Slim Aaron's photography and I'm not surprised Lana is familiar. Paradise cover was pretty much a homage to his work imo. Also these lyrics are giving me BTD feels. Faith restored! 5 Quote

annedauphine Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I really really really really like this, it's giving me Heroin / Elvis vibes, I LOVE when songs tell stories. And musically as I said it's the first song so far I immediately loved, I'm trying so hard to remain calm and composed rn omfg 4 Quote
cherryblossoms Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 ‘Smiling for miles in pink dresses And high heels on white yachts’ Reminds me of this line from the HM era ‘Living in the land of honeymoons and oil tycoons God bless America, the land of pink champagne and purple rain’ 11 Quote

NamiraWilhelm Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 If i was tested less like how i perceive these debutants, even though it pisses me off when people assume I've had it easy because of my daddy and looks lalala I'm sure it's great but I'm not digging the surname inclusion. 1 Quote
cherryblossoms Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 I see the ‘try to force as much words into the melody’ style from Coachella has also returned 6 Quote
