Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

I've transcribed the lyrics to Fingertips but I can't make a couple of lyrics out. Any thoughts?

Spoiler

When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
Thinking 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 ten year mark
Where I beat the extinction of telomeres
And if I do, will you be there with me
Father, sister, brother
Charlie stopped 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
They said that my mind
It's not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
I guess I'll be fine

It wasn't my idea the cocktail of things that twist neurones inside, but without them I'd die
They say there's irony in the music it's a tragedy I-
See nothing creeking in

Give me a mausoleum in Rhode island
With dad, grandma, grandpa and Dave who hung himself real high
In the national park sky

It's a shame and they're crying (???) get to you, save you
If I take my lamp, find your astral body
Put it into my arms
Give you two seconds to cry
Take you home, I-
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 were doing it
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 we die

When I was fifteen, the next door neighbours 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 he caught on long island beaches
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 Erin Greene and say bye,
The lake twisting lime into the drinks that they made,
Have a babe at sixteen, the town I was born and die
Erin ended up dead and not me
With the folks (???) 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 it crash over me like the waves in the sea
Call me Aphrodite as they bow down to me
Sun bather, moonchaser, queen of empathy
I give myself to seconds to breathe
And go back to being the singing queen
I just needed two seconds to be me

the judah interlude got me so intrigued tho… it sounds like a preacher at the edge of craziness and the instrumental sounds veeeery eerie and polished too

Personally, TikTok is a disease to the music industry. It's requiring songs to fit into a certain box or format in order to go viral so people can make more money. It's capitalism. People are literally making music now specifically so it can be used on TikTok instead of making music because it's good. Lana's music doesn't and never has fit into that box nor does she care to conform to it because she makes true art. :true:

This is a more nuanced take and I agree.

What has happened in the last 24 hours? Seriously. The album partly leaking, Lana getting her flowers but then YouTube fucking up the audio and video sending us all into a frenzy, Jared finally seeing the light, and lilac heaven leaving? 
 

March Madness has begun. 22 days! :die:

Grandfather vocal and instrumental explosion towards the middle/end of the song is BEAU-TI-FUL :poordat:

Top 5 of DYK already. I don’t recommend listening to it because it’s tagged but if you do, you’re definitely in for a ride (on a boat) 

:flutter:

Also why does everything have to be pitched and sped up 😭💀

This are heartbreaking (but so beautifully written)

I feel like this is her most autobiographical song yet? Maybe?
