Favourite lyrics from NFR

[Elle 114,533]

I saw this trend going around in the NFR thread, and I love it. Such a fun thing to share. Share your favourite lyrics from NFR below! Share as many as you like.

I'm always a bit excessive, so I'm going to share my favourite lyrics from each track:

 

NFR - Why wait for the best when I could have you?

 

MAC - I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus - can't a girl just do the best she can?

 

VB - You're beautiful and I'm insane // If you weren't mine I'd be jealous of your love

 

FIILY - Drink lime green, stay up 'til dawn - maybe the way that I'm living is killing me // It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself, it's not a lie

 

LS - You know that I'd just die to make you proud

 

CG - There's things I want to say to you, but I'll just let you live - like if you hold me without hurting me, you'll be the first who ever did

 

HTD - He moves mountains and pounds them to ground again // I watch the skies getting light as I write as I think about those years, as I whisper in your ear, I'm always going to be right here - no one's going anywhere

 

CA - You're scared to win, scared to lose - I've heard the war is over if you really choose, the one in and around you // the entire pre-chorus

 

TNBAR - You make me feel like there's something that I never knew I wanted

 

TG - We didn't know that we had it all, but nobody warns you before the fall // I want shit to feel just like it used to, when baby I was doing nothing most of all // If this is it, I'm signing off // the entire first chorus

 

BT - Baby, remember I'm not drinking wine, but that cherry coke you serve is fine

 

HIAB - If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst that could happen to a girl that's already hurt?

 

HIADT - 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 // I've been tearing up town in my fucking nightgown like a goddamn near sociopath // Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past // 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

[Beautiful Loser 46,094]

I’ll copy-paste my post from yesterday. :3

 

- Why wait for the best when I could have you?

- You lose your way, just take my hand // You’re lost at sea, then I’ll command your boat to me again // Don’t look to far, right where you are, that’s where I am! // I’m your man (ok I’m aware that’s more than a line but it’s just too good!)

- If you weren’t mine I’d be jealous of your love

- It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself, it’s not a lie

- (I feel like skipping DT since the lyrics isn’t hers but oh well) Oh, take this veil from off my eyes // My burning sun will someday rise

- Now I’m here with you and // I would like to think that you would stick around

- There’s things I wanna say to you, but I’ll just let you live

- I’m always going to be right here // No one’s going anywhere

- I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing

- He was 70’s in spirit, 90’s in his frame of mind

- L.A. is in flames, it’s getting hot // Kanye West is blond and gone // “Life on Mars” ain’t just a song // Oh, the livestream’s almost on

- Playing games of levitation, meditating in the garden

- I said, don’t be a jerk, don’t call me a taxi // Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat

- Don’t ask if I’m happy, you know that I’m not // But at best, I can say I’m not sad

[Terrence Loves Me 71,728]

Taste. In my opinion, those are the two tracks with the strongest lyrical content x

[fulltimedaddyy 245]

NFR: "you talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you / but I don't get bored, I just see through"

MAC: "they took my sadness out of context" & "kinda girl who's gonna make you wonder / who you are and who you been"

VB: "baby's back in town now / you should come-a come over" & "back in the garden / we're getting high now / because we're older..."
FIILY: "turns out everywhere you go / you take yourself"

LS: "I believe that you see me for who I am [...] is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?" & "would like to think that you will stick around"

CG: "hold me, love me, touch me, help me / be the first who ever did"

HTD: "you just crack another beer / and pretend that you're still here / this is how to disappear" & "I watch the skies getting light as I write / as I think about those years [...] no one's going anywhere"

CA: "heard the war was over if you really choose / the one in and around you" & "we'll do whatever you want / travel wherever, how far / we'll hit up all the old places / we'll have a party / we'll dance til dawn"

TNBAR: "my baby used to dance underneath my architecture / we lost track of space / we lost track of time"

TG: "we didn't know that we had it all / but nobody warns you before the fall" & "I want shit to feel just like it used to / I miss doing nothing the most of all"

BT: "they don't know yet where I reside / sixty miles from the last place I hide"

HIAB: "happiness is a butterfly / we should catch it while dancing / I lose myself in the music baby"

HIADT: "writing in blood on the walls / 'cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad" & "I have it, I have it, I have it"

[Hundred Dollar Bill 21,461]

John met me down on the boulevard

Cry on his shoulder ‘cuz life is hard

The waves came in over my head...

Whatcha been up to, my baby?

Haven’t seen you ‘round here lately

 

All of the guys tell me lies

But you don’t, you just crack another beer

And pretend that you’re still here...

 

This is how to disappear

This is how to disappear

 

///

 

I watch the guys getting high

as they fight for the things that they hold dear

To forget the things they fear

 

///

 

The California sun & the movie stars...

I watch the skies getting light as I write

As I think about those years

As I whisper in your ear,

“I’m always going to be right here. No one’s going anywhere.”

 

I typed nearly the entire song..

HTD is my favorite Lana song in years. I just adore the lyrics, they take me back to BTD days - the storytelling in this song is just out of this world. & the WAY SHE SINGS THIS SONG..... it is TRANSCENDENT. The way she sings the words “how” & “disappear” in the chorus is so beautiful and sad. It gives me chills.

[Formation 4,108]

NFR: "You f$#%@d me so good that I almost said I love you"

MAC: "CATCH A WAVE AND TAKE IN THE SWEETNESS, TAKE IN THE SWEETNESS, YOU WANT THIS, YOU NEED THIS"

VB: "Oh god, love him on my lips"
FIILY: "If I wasn't so f$#@%d up, I think I'd f^#k you all the time"

LS: "I would like to think that you will stick aaarroouuunddd"

CG: "Hold me, love me, touch me, honey be the first who ever did"

HTD: "Cried on his shoulder 'cause life is hard"

CA: "We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever, how far" 

TNBAR: "I see you for who you really are, why the thousands of girls love the way Bill plays guitar"

TG: "Those nights were on fire, we couldn't get higher, we didn't know that we had it all"

BT: "Bart-t-tender, keep love alive"

HIAB: "Do you want me or do you not? I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another" 

HIADT: "Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not but at best I can say I'm not sad" 

[Creyk 11,497]

Cinnamon has the best lyrics on the record for me.

The "there are things I wanna say to you but i'll just let you live" line is genius and reveals so much in a short period of time. It's everything.

[WilshireBoulevard 5,419]

Do you want me or do you not? I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another / I was one thing, now I'm being another? 

 

Are my favourite lines from HiaB 

[Chicken Parmesan 316]

Why wait for the best when I could have you?

 

So kiss the sky and whisper to Jesus,

My, my, my, you found this, you need this

 

If you weren't mine I'd be jealous of your love

 

If you hold me without hurting me, you'll be the first who ever did

[Edelgard 1,722]

NFR: 'cause you're just a man / it's just what you do / your head in your hands as you color me blue
