Sky Ferreira

[keanefar 1,007]

after listening to the album all day, you can tell which tracks were the solid ones she had done for awhile and which ones were quickly put together.

 

it's not a bad thing, but I think they were Omanko, Kristine and Night Time, My Time because they don't have the same smooth sound YNTO, Love in Stereo and 24 Hours do

 

My favourites. Go figure.

[Mauri8396 85]

In other news, the album's holding at number 10 on US iTunes! 

 

Desperately hoping for that Billboard Top 20 debut 

[Heaux 1,400]

Yassss i was nearly sure the album would bomb completly

 

Black is flopping tho..i thought it would help her break Asia ..but whatever

[Sitar 22,214]

@@SitarHero should we collaborate on getting lyrics together for this or did you do it already?

 

You know I whipped them up

 

You can have a crack at Kristine though

 

Suppose I'll post dem lyrics

 

BOYS

 

I knew it was love...

 

Boys, they're a dime a dozen

Boys, they ain't doing nothing for me any longer

And I'd/might be getting stronger

 

Boys, a lot of women love you

Boys, they just make me mad

All the little things that you do

Ain't gonna make me sad

 

Then I saw him looking at me from afar

I knew it was you all along (x2)

Suddenly, I knew there was love

Then I knew it was you all along

You put my faith back in boys

Back in...

 

Boys always see you smiling

Boys never take a break

All the rottens things that you do

Always getting in my way

 

Then I saw him looking at me from afar

I knew it was you all along (x2)

Suddenly, I knew there was love

Then I knew it was you all along

You put my faith back in boys

Back in...

 

Cross my heart and hope to die

Stick a needle in my eye

(x3)

 

I knew it was you all along (x2)

Suddenly, I knew there was love

You put my faith back in boys

Back in, back in boys (x2)

Back in, you put my faith back in boys

Back in, back in boys (x3)

 

 

AIN'T YOUR RIGHT

 

It ain’t your right (x2)

It ain't your right but that’s okay

I’ll let you slide this one time (x2)

 

If you consider sleeping over, I’ll consider you

I’ll only warn you one time, I’ve got a stilted view

And if the problem child is gone now

I’ll consider you

You’re a lucky person (x2)

 

It ain’t your right, but that’s okay

I’ll let you slide you this one time

(x2)

 

I was so happy before, when I was alone with you

You showed me all my weakness (x2)

Now I’m the lonely boy again

You want to sleep it over

We’ll see about that, won’t we? (x2)

 

It ain’t your right, but that’s okay

I’ll let you slide you this one time

(x4)

 

It ain't your right (x2)

 

 

24 HOURS

 

The seconds run away

Minutes pass at speeds we can run at

As hours start to fade deep into the night

I'm not in the mood for laughing

 

It's slipping away, there's nothing we can do

It's slipping away, there's no tomorrow without you

 

I wish these 24 hours would never end

Oh, in these 24 hours, wish the clock had no hands

24 hours, we still have time

For 24 hours, you're still mine

 

If this isn't real, just can't deal

Anyway, you could say I was always a sinner

Hopeful for a while, lost in denial

I wish this could last forever

 

It's slipping away, there's nothing we can do

It's slipping away, there's no tomorrow without you

 

I wish these 24 hours would never end

Oh, in these 24 hours, wish the clock had no hands

24 hours, we still have time

For 24 hours, you're still mine

 

I wish these 24 hours would never end

I won't say I'm, I won't say I'm, I won't say I'm

'Cause in 24 hours, 'cause in 24 hours

You'll be gone, you'll be gone, you'll be gone

In 24 hours

 

24 hours, we still have time

For 24 hours, you're still mine

 

It's slipping away, there's nothing we can do

It's slipping away, there's no tomorrow without you

 

I wish these 24 hours would never end

Oh, in these 24 hours, wish the clock had no hands

 

 

NOBODY ASKED ME

 

Never thought I'd have a moment like this

All I wanna feel is your kiss

So many words in a different tone

So many things that you should have done

 

It now hurts that I want you to stay

Nobody asked me if I was okay

It's eight seconds ???

Every day, people tell me something else that I know

Yeah, nobody asked me what I wanted

Nobody asked me

 

I tried to ask you but nobody asked me

I tried to ask you but nobody asked me if I was okay

Nobody asked me, nobody asked me if I was okay

Nobody asked me

 

Nobody asked me if I was okay

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Nobody asked if I was okay

 

Shaking your head while I try to explain

You say you don't wanna hear me complain

Just try to get my point across

You don't seem to care if I'm feeling lost

 

And now it hurts that I want you to stay

I can't understand why I feel this way

All the friend I ever had told me, "Go."

Every day, I hear them something else that I know

Yeah, nobody asked me what I wanted

Nobody asked me

 

I tried to ask you but nobody asked me

I tried to ask you but nobody asked me if I was okay

Nobody asked me, nobody asked me if I was okay

Nobody asked me

 

Nobody asked me if I was okay

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Nobody asked if I was okay

 

I hear the siren getting me closer

I hear its echo over and over

I tried to ask you, I tried to ask you

I tried to ask but nobody asked

 

I tried to ask you but nobody asked me

I tried to ask you but nobody asked me if I was okay

Nobody asked me, nobody asked me if I was okay

Nobody asked me

 

Nobody asked me if I was okay

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Nobody asked if I was okay

(x2)

 

 

I BLAME MYSELF

 

Is it because you know my name?

Or is it because you say my face on the cover?

Either way it’s all the same

It’s like talking to a friend who’s trying to be your lover

 

Underneath it all, I know it's not your fault

That you don't understand, I blame myself

 

How could you know what it feels like

To fight the hounds of hell?

You think you know me so well

How could you know what it feels like

To be outside yourself?

You think you know me so well

I just want you to realize

I blame, I blame myself

Blame, blame, blame myself

Blame, I blame, I blame myself for my reputation

 

I'm just a face without a choice

??? you'd never learn to guess what I think above the shoulders

1o years old without a voice

I feel like nothing's really changed, now I'm just a little older

 

Underneath it all, I know it's not your fault

That you don't understand, I blame myself

 

How could you know what it feels like

To fight the hounds of hell?

You think you know me so well

How could you know what it feels like

To be outside yourself?

You think you know me so well

I just want you to realize

I blame, I blame myself

Blame, blame, blame myself

I blame, I blame, blame myself for my reputation

 

(I blame myself) (x4)

 

How could you know what it feels like

To fight the hounds of hell?

You think you know me so well

How could you know what it feels like

To be outside yourself?

You think you know me so well

I just want you to realize

I blame, I blame myself

Blame, blame, blame myself

I blame, I blame, blame myself for my reputation

 

(I blame myself) (x4)

 

 

OMANKO

 

Oh, Japanese Jesus

Oh, Japanese Jesus, come on

And definitely Jesus

And definitely Jesus, ???

Reading Japanese comics

And fucking Japenese omanko

Oh, Japanese Jesus

Oh, Japenese Jesus, come on

 

I'm gearing up

I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas

(x2)

 

Oh, Japanese Jesus

Oh, Japanese Jesus, come on

(x2)

Reading Japanese comics

And fucking Japanese omanko

Oh, Japanese Jesus

Oh, Japanese Jesus, come on

 

I'm gearing up

I'm gearing up for a Japanese Christmas

(x4)

 

 

YOU'RE NOT THE ONE

 

Dream stay with you

Always on my mind, I've got a lust for life

Seasons bring truth

When I found mine, it was summertime

 

It's the middle of the night and I'm so gone

And I'm thinking about how much I need you

But you really want somebody else

Should be given the right to carry on

I'm still thinking about how much I need you

But you really want somebody else

 

You're not the one

Guess you're not the one

(x2)

 

Streets like a zoo

Those city lights, love at first sight

Silent rays of blue

They slowly glide right down my spine

 

It's the middle of the night and I'm so gone

And I'm thinking about how much I need you

But you really want somebody else

Should be given the right to carry on

I'm still thinking about how much I need you

But you really want somebody else

 

You're not the one

Guess you're not the one

(x2)

 

I was enjoying the ride

But now we're standing on the grave sight

Left unsatisfied

I won't even bother to fight

I know you're not the one

You're not the one (x3)

 

You're not the one

Guess you're not the one

(x2)

 

(You're not the one) (x4)

 

 

HEAVY METAL HEART

 

I can feel the heat of the light on my face

As I'm walking away from you

I can feel the beat of the night in my chest

Feel like I'm a galaxy away from you

 

Yeah, I'm losing myself

Talking to myself in the dark

When my body starts to work like a machine

I can feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart

You make my heavy metal heart beat, beat, oh

Oh, yeah, my heavy metal heart, heart, heart, heat

Oh, man, you make me feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart

My heavy metal heartbeat, oh, my heavy metal heart

 

I can see a vision that's meant to be mine

Slowly turning away from you

I can see it all standing on top of time

Yeah, there's only one thing for me left to lose

 

I love losing myself

Talking to myself in the dark

When my body starts to work like a machine

I can feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart

You make my heavy metal heart beat, beat, oh

Oh, yeah, my heavy metal heart, heart, heart, heat

Oh, man, you make me feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart

My heavy metal heartbeat, oh, my heavy metal heart

 

You turn my red to black

I'm never coming back

The way I was before

I'm not her anymore

Anymore, anymore

 

You make my heavy metal heart beat

My heavy metal heart

Yeah, my heavy metal heart beat

My heavy metal heart

Yeah, my heavy metal heart

My heavy metal heart

Yeah, my heavy metal heart (x2)

My heavy metal heart

 

 

KRISTINE

 

 

 

I WILL

 

You wait by the phone, my eyes to your throne

It's what you, what you want from me (x2)

Pretend that I’m shy, I laugh when you cry

It’s what they, what they want from me (x2)

 

Try to teach me a lesson

I’ll keep, I’ll keep you guessing

Oh, I will, I will

I will, I will

 

When it’s with me your messing

I’m gonna teach you a lesson

Oh, I will, I will

I will, I will

 

I kiss like I lie, you wait for a sign

It’s what you, what you want from me (x2)

Left you dumb, left you damned

Left you limp in your hands

It’s what you, what you want from me (x2)

 

Try to teach me a lesson

I’ll keep, I’ll keep you guessing

Oh, I will, I will

I will, I will

 

When it’s with me your messing

I’m gonna teach you a lesson

Oh, I will, I will

I will, I will

 

Oh, I will, I will

I will, I will

I will

I will, I will

 

 

LOVE IN STEREO

 

Every time, I tell myself again

That he just wants to be my friend

I can’t keep up, he’s locked inside my head

But he just wants to be my friend

 

It’s always just stay, it’s always just stay

Never just go, never just go

 

We fell in love in stereo

Then he broke my heart in stereo

(x2)

 

When he picked me up, what was his intent?

Just to let me down again

I’ll survive, but how could I forget

All the things we did back then?

 

It’s always just stay, it’s always just stay

Never just go, never just go

 

We fell in love in stereo

Then he broke my heart in stereo

(x2)

 

In stereo, in stereo, in stereo (x2)

 

Every time, I tell myself again

I can’t keep up, he’s locked inside my head

When he picked me up, what was his intent?

I’ll survive, but how could I forget?

 

We fell in love in stereo

Then he broke my heart in stereo

(x2)

 

In stereo, in stereo, in stereo (x2)

 

 

NIGHT TIME, MY TIME

 

I'm useless and I know it

Auditory hallucination

You said I don't care what I'm thinking about

But I'm thinking of you

 

Night time is my time

I'm drowning, I'm breathing

Falling in space

Will I slow down or go faster and faster?

??? slow down right now

 

I wouldn't feel anything

When we burst into dust forever

And no angels will help us out

'Cause they've all gone away

 

Night time is my time

I'm drowning, I'm breathing

Falling in space

Will I slow down or go faster and faster?

??? slow down right now

 

Go faster and faster (xREPEATED)

I thought the lyrics in YNTO were "always on my mind, I've got a lust for lies" since the next line says "seasons bring truth"

[Adrift 4,813]

So am I delusional and insane, but does it kinda sound like Charli XCX does some backing vocals on Heavy Metal Heart? 

[cartoon eyes 2,547]

Did anyone watch the Green Inferno?

[Dazed 95]

I wish the album was longer because I love it so much 

[Deleted User 1,353]

After 3 years of waiting and like 35 listens of the album (I literally played it all day), I can really say I've got this weird feeling I'm proud of someone I didn't even meet, and probably won't ever do either... But it's really that feeling, pride. It's been three years down the line struggling with labels, and gossip, and terms and conditions of the musical industry, that she can finally choose and work on something based on her own money earned by her own work... It's like, it's relatable.

I wish the sound was a little more polished, I do, and that the album consisted of 16-17 tracks, whether bonus tracks or not... But I'm not complaining.

It's been such a long wait, and it feels personal already. I started "following" this lady back when we both were 17. I even talked to her in her facebook, back in the day she replied to each and every comment...
I feel personally related to a couple of things that happened to her too, and her lyrics are crafted in the same way I'd craft them.

It feels really personal, it does.

It's an amazing album.

I'm so thankful to be able to finally hear it.

Night Time, My Time (the song) should open AHS

[iseeyouupsidedown 931]

Even Love in Stereo has grown on me... TBH the 3 I don't like are Omanko, Kristine, and Nigh Time, My Time. I agree it's obvious that they were kind of last minute and they feel like filler to me. They don't feel like they were worked on hard enough or sound good enough to be put on the album. They sound more like rough demos that would be cut from a well planned album.

 

I Will and Heavy Metal Heart >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

I really like the prechorus of Nobody Asked Me (it kind of has 2 actually, I like both) but the verses aren't memorable at all and I don't like the chorus... The prechorus sounds a little more sad and grungey to me and then the chorus is really... upbeat and cheesy riot rock? idk how to describe it tbh... But the "nobody asked me if i was okay!!! no no no no no!!!" chorus doesn't sound nearly as good as the "If I was ooookay! (nobody asked me, nobody asked me)" part. I think the prechorus should've been the chorus.

 

edit: on second thought the prechorus I'm describing sort of is the chorus... Just like, the first part of it? and then the prechorus before it is the "I tried to ask you but nobody asked me" (I love that part too though. I just hate the second part of the chorus)

[cartoon eyes 2,547]

Night Time, My Time (the song) should open AHS

You read my mind. Straight away when I heard it i thought it would be great for the mini-teaser things before the season actually starts.

 

24 Hours is my favorite, but the whole album is so good. I've listened to it almost non-stop today. The cover goes so well with the album. It shows her vulnerable side, as the album does. One of the most solid debuts in years.

[Deleted User 1,353]

I think the highlights of the album are Boys, 24 Hours, Love in Stereo, Ain't Your Right and You're Not the One. The whole album is just mind-blowing, but those 5 should certainly be the singles.

[drewby 9,246]

Did anyone watch the Green Inferno?

 

it's not officially out, it's only been shown at the Toronto Film Fest

 

unless there's some copy online I have to watch 

[National Anthem 9,904]

I think my least favorite might be Boys. It's still good though. And I'm sure whether I love or hate Omanko and Kristine yet... I Blame Myself is my favorite.

 

Oh and I STAN for the cover now. Idk it's just really grungy and perfectly fitting

[Heaux 1,400]
