PARADIXO 33,094 Posted January 24, 2020 Little game. Y'all have to choose one lyric from each record to define the message and/or aesthetic Lana was going for. I'll start: Born to Die "Blue jeans, white shirt Walked into the roomYou know you made my eyes burn It was like James Dean" Paradise "I don't really want to know what's good for me God's deadI said, 'baby that's alright with me'" Ultraviolence "I can't do nothing about his strange weather [...] 'Cause you live in shades of cool" Honeymoon "We both know that it's not fashionable to love me But you don't go 'Cause, truly, there's nobody for you but me" Lust for Life "There's a change gonna come I don't know when or where But whenever it does We'll be here for it" Norman Fucking Rockwell! "Give me Hallmark One dream, one life, one lover Paint me happy and blue Norman Rockwell No hype under our covers" 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takeitdoen 10,629 Posted January 24, 2020 Ooo. Fab topic. I'm going to not think this through too much, and just go with what my pHEnOmENoLoGicAL response of what evoked the feel for me. Born to Die "Think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.Later's better than never, even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive" Paradise "I am fucking crazy but I am free" (or, if we're sticking to song lyrics)"I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy. I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes" Ultraviolence "Heaven is on earth, I would do anything for you and me. Blessed is this union, crying tears of gold like lemonade." Honeymoon "I lost myself when I lost you . . .And I still get trashed, baby, when I hear your tunes" Lust for Life "I hope that I come back one dayTo tell you that I really changed" Norman Fucking Rockwell! "Why wait for the best, when I can have you? YOOOOUUUUUUU!!!??!?!" 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
