Lana's diction and incomprehensible lyrics

Recommended Posts

THIS.

 

• 'Sad Girl'

Do y'all think it is; 'creeping around on the side' or 'we've been around on the side'?

 

• 'Is This Happiness"

I've got my DARE vs I've got my DAD?

 

We need answers, Elizabeth Grant.

SAD GIRL

 

Creeping around on the side makes most contextual sense.


Being a mistress on the side
It might not appeal to fools like you

 

here she is saying that being a side bitch isn't something everybody wants to do

 

Creeping around on the side
Would not be something you would do

 

she is the other woman. she has to be sneaky since she's already the dumb bitch who's sleeping with a man in a relationship. what she's doing is wrong and she knows it, hence telling the audience that it is something they wouldn't do, however have you seen her man? apparently he's worth the hassle girls & gays. 

 

 :typewriter:

 

IS THIS HAPPINESS?

 

again, feel this one is pretty straightforward. 

 

You got your gun, I've got my dad.

 

Lana is saying that while you may put on a threatening display by boasting of the gun you own, she reminds you that she has her dad. father's are (usually) extremely protective over their daughters. all she's gotta do is tell mr. hawaiian shirts you're waving your gun around and he'll make you disappear 

 

:nails:

So the lyrics in 'Music to Watch Boys to' was NEVER "blue ribbons on ice"?!? I'm shocked.

 

Also, what do y'all think about the line:

"Playing their guitars, only one of my toys"

being

"I play 'em like guitars, only one of my toys".

 

I remember buying a 'Honeymoon' songbook and it was written that way but idk.

 

Definetly play them like guitars, ugh I swear MTWBT is her magnum opus :defeated:

• 'Swan Song':

Is it 'Dive in, dive deep in dark blue my suede'? As a non-native English speaker, could somebody tell me if it does actually makes sense?

 

I think is "Dive in, dive deep in dark blue, my sweet"

The Florida kilos lyrics are probably. 

 

"Sun in my mouth, gold hoops" 

 

Although to me it sounds like "soon in my mouth, gold hoops"

 

Hopefully is "Sun in My Mouth", Harmony Korine is such a Björk Stan :hooker:

• 'Shades of Cool'

-I'm one of many:

• Bonnies blue

• One is blue

 


I think it’s “I’m one of many peonies blue” like the flower.

She says it clearly in a live performance somewhere

Isn’t it 

“I’ve got mine, dad”

 

57 minutes ago, redsangrias said:

It might be “I’ve got my dead”

Her dead writers, poets, musicians?

 

idk it's always been "my dad" for me, "my dead" doesn't really make sense in context

 

"you've got your gun, i've got my dad"  while he has a gun, she still has her dad's protection

Have y'all listened to the acapella of 'Born to Die'. It surprised me that the line was:

 

'I feel so alone on the Friday nights'

 

Instead of being 'on a Friday night'. I know she sings it that way live nowadays (and even 'every Friday night'), but listen to the acapella version and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

Hey, it's me again hehe. What do you guys, girls and non-binary lads think about these ones:

 

• 'West Coast'

Is it 'I'm feeling hotter than fire' or 'hot and on fire'?

 

• 'God Bless America'

 

a). Bridge option 1:

Even with you I've got no one to lose
So you'd better believe that nobody
Can make me feel lonely
Because I hear (Sweetest melodies)
Even when you talk that talk with the lights on
I still somehow know that I'll never feel
Ever feel lonely
I have no fear (It's got me thinking, yeah).

 

VS.

 

b). Bridge option 2:

Even when I walk, I walk with the lord

So you better believe that nobody

Can make me feel lonely

Because I hear (sweetest melodies)

Even when I talk, I talk with the lord's by my side

So I know that I'll never feel, ever feel lonely

I have no fear, it's got me thinking (yeah
