CrazySister 2,239 Posted January 29, 2019 I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gownLike a goddamn near sociopathShaking my ass is the only thing that'sGot this black narcissist off my backShe couldn't care less, and I never cared moreSo there's no more to say about thatExcept hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to haveHope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past One of my favorite things is when an artist refers to themselves in a song (or book, movie, etc). Like separates, kind of, this certain part that exist inside of them (of us all actually. You know, our demons, angels, whatever you call) and talk to/about it like it was a person. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creditcardromancer 751 Posted February 10, 2019 I know this is going to sound so stupid but I love her lyrics that are like "I'll be doing drugs, taking shots, making out in parking lots with every little boy I spot" even her trashy songs are amazing 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lirazel 700 Posted February 10, 2019 I am so goddamn envious of her skills of self-mythologizing. I wish I could do that in my writing! Maybe I am lacking talent for that, or self-confidence. Can't help but love how she spuns tales of her life. I am torn about Hope is... when it comes to the sound, but I am so in awe of the narrative (though I hoped the Sylvia reference to be explored more, but it is what it is, I guess).Think I might do some close reading of her lyrics. 2 Quote i am nothing and should be everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13bitches 6,176 Posted May 9, 2019 Finally, gone is the burden Of the Crowley way of being That comes from energies combined Like my part was, I was not discerning And you, as we found out Were not in your right mind There’s no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance But then you try to touch them and there’s nothing to hold on to The colors used to lure you in and put you in a trance Get Free is a fucking masterpiece I’m literally still tearing up listening to it almost two years later. She really did THAT. 5 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisy Hearted 1,722 Posted July 7, 2019 All of Body Electric basically. Especially the line : "She prays the Rosary for my broken mind" "I can see my baby swaying, my parliaments on fire and his hands are up, on the balcony and I'm swaying" "Little bits of pieces lined up in an order, box of broken laces tied up in a corner, I'll do what you tell me, we can have it your way, I'll tell you the future , you tell me your story." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Whore 51,313 Posted October 13, 2019 “I know I wanted all this in the beginning, I really tried I know I caught you at a not-so-happy time of your life... My dreams are bigger than your junkie pride” and from Try Tonight “When he enters all of the lights go dim...” “A dark room in the nighttime Is how he spends all his time If he could go on without your help Then he would do it all by himself But I don’t think he got strength to muster And he don’t got a lot, lackluster” “He’ll try tonight to not get high but he will” 4 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takeitdoen 10,627 Posted October 13, 2019 Two years on and I am reflecting more and more on Heroin. "I'm flying to the moon again, dreaming about heroin.How it gave you everything, and took your life away.I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land I hope that you'd come back again, and tell me everything's okay, baby and the tragedy of singing to someone who is long dead:"I hope that I come back one day, to tell you that I've really changed, baby" My other absolute favourites: "On Monday they destroyed me, but by Friday I'm revived" - God Knows I Tried "I'm hoping at the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine" - Born to Die "I wore diamonds on the day of our wedding, for our day in the sun. On the same day my mother to be said she wouldn't come" - Fine China "I love you the first time, I love you the last time . . . I'll love you forever - I'll really love you forever" - Ultraviolence "Was I wrong to go on like a little fool? It's amazing what women in love will do." - Big Eyes and the holy intertextual, ultimate hipster cool references of "My boyfriend's pretty cool, but he's not as cool as me" from Brooklyn Baby which evolves into "My boyfriend's back - and he's cooler than ever" in Lust for Life. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
