We can say whatever we'd like about BoZ's personal tastes, but the fact that he said those Kintsugi lyrics aren't anywhere near the best lyrics on the album, which I find surprising because they are amazing lyrics to me, especially compared to Fingertips, makes me think that Fingertips will have some of her best lyricism to date 

no exactly i think ab that too constantly,   coming to be ldr9s magnum opus

I’m actually obsessed with the lyrics “I wish I could extrapolate some small intention or maybe get your attention for a minute or two”. I can’t really explain it but it really feels like that line came from Lana’s rawest thoughts and I love it so much

when i look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags, i think i wish i could extrapolate some small intention, or maybe get your attention for a minute or two. 

i just love how melodic this is – the consonance of “t” and “s” in “tracing fingertips over plastic”, the repetition of “i” in “i think i wish i could”, the alliteration in “some small”, the rhyme in “intention” and “attention”, the slant rhyme in “back” and “bags”. it’s a beautiful sentence to read out loud and highlights lana’s natural sense of poeticism.

Caroline will you be with me

Tearing up already 

Can't wait to hear that already iconic song.

WHEN I LOOK BACK….

 

TRACING FINGERTIPS OVER PLASTIC BAGS…

 

[Fingertips 72,055]

Best song of all time. Heard this from the future.

When I look back

Tracing fingertips over plastic bags

I think I wish I could extrapolate some small intention

Or maybe just get your attention

For a minute or two

 

Will I die or will I get to that tenure mark

Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?

And if I do will you be there with me?

Father, sister, brother

 

Charlie stop smoking

Caroline will you be with me?

Will the baby be alright?

Will I have one of mine?

 

Can I handle it?

Even if I do, you said that I might

It's not fair, or so they said

to carry a child

I guess I'll be fine

 

It wasn't my idea;

The cocktails, the things that twist neurons inside

but without them I'd die

 

They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy

I see nothing [?]

 

Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with dad, grandma, grandpa and Dave

[?]

In the national park skies

[?]

Save you if I take my life

Find your astral body, put it into my arms

Give you two seconds to cry

Take you home, I'll give you a blanket

So your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side

Cause baby I,

 

Ran through a time when I felt you [?]

I couldn't handle it

I was in Monaco

I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone

I had to sing for the prince in two hours

Sat in the shower

Gave myself two seconds to cry

It's a shame that you died

 

When I was fifteen, naked, next door neighbors did a drive by

Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side

I wanted to go out like you

Swim with the fishes

that you caught on Rhode Island beaches

But sometimes it's just not your time, Caroline

 

[?]

I'd end up in institutions [?]

Sit by the lake, twisting lime into the drinks that they made

Have a babe at sixteen

[?]

[?]

To send me away

Never to come back

Exotic places and people to take the place [?]

I give myself two seconds to cry

But I crash on the moon like the waves in the sea

Call me Aphrodite

Cause they bow down to me

 

Sunbather, moon chaser

We love empathy

I give myself two seconds to breathe

Go back to being [?] queen

I just needed two seconds to be me

I see nothing Greek in it

 

Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with dad, grandma, grandpa and Dave

Who hung himself real high

In the national park skies

It's a shame, when you're crying ?

Save you, if I take my life

Find your astral body, put it into my arms

Give you two seconds to cry

Take you home, I'll give you a blanket

So your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side

But sometimes it's just not your time,

 

Caroline

What kind of mother was she to say

I'd end up in institutions

All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Green

Sit by the lake, twisting lime into the drinks that they made

Have a babe at sixteen

In the town I was born in and die

Aaron ended up dead

Not me

What the fuck's wrong in your head

To send me away

Never to come back

Exotic places and people to take the place of being your child

I give myself two seconds to cry

Let them crash over me like the waves in the sea

Call me Aphrodite

As they bow down to me

 

Sunbather, moon chaser

Queen of empathy

I give myself two seconds to breathe

Go back to being a serene queen

I just needed two seconds to be me

 

 

Added lyrics that had question marks, there's only one I couldn't tell what it is

I'm pretty sure it's "It's a shame that we die"

When does lyrics threads open..? I am dying to discuss DEEP about this song with other smart lipsters  The album is released in so many places already

I thought so too but she says it later? So I wasn't sure

Oh I thought it was the latter one. The previous one, people say it's "and I'm crying right now to get to you, save you"  but I'm honestly not sure. 'Right now' sounds strange... or she just pronounced it weirdly..?

[shadesofloveduthenandnow 20,617]

And then there was the issue of her - I didn’t even like myself or love the life I had ✅
My father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me ✅

So I’m not friends with my mother while I still love my dad ✅ 

Caroline, what kind of mother was she ❌
 

I really don’t get why this particular mention of P*tty was censored. Is it because it’s directly criticizing her as a mother?

[acacia 358]

one of her saddest songs im screaming

[The Siren 30,543]

She has never and will ever release a song as sad as this one

[SarcasticBeauty 1,578]

wow. Just so sad. It ties in so well with some unreleased in the lore.
