I transcribed the lyrics to Fingertips. Haven't caught up so idk if anyone else did. They're probably not 100% correct, but close:

 

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, 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 cocktail of 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 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 sky

It’s a shame

And I’m crying right now

To get to you, save you

If I take my life

Find your astral body

Put it into my eyes

Give you two seconds to cry

Take you home, I

I’ll give you a blanket

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 15, 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 he caught on Rhode 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 Aaron Green

And sit by the lake

Twisting lime into the drinks

That they made

Have a babe at 16

The town I was born in and die

Aaron ended up dead and 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 it 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

And go back to being a serene queen

 

I just needed two seconds to be me

not gonna listen to the stuff but 

Spoiler

"will the baby be alright" 

 

that's it, her saddest lyric. this sweet woman. life is so unfair and how she remains such an incredibly humble and beautiful person inside and out is truly impeccable.

Ok I caved and feel like a shit person but I heard Fingertips and some of Sweet before I had to stop and tend to some business… but wow. Wordy. Dark. Almost sounds sort of like a musical, with those melodies…. It’s interesting. Definitely not like Blue Banisters so far. I can’t wait to hear the rest of it. Can’t seem to find The Grants but maybe that’s a good thing anyway. I’m hoping these are enough to keep me satiated until the record officially drops. Sorry, I’d write more but I’m super high and super tired.

There is no doubt in my mind, after hearing Fingertips, that Kintsugi and Fingertips were placed very intentionally next to each other on the tracklist.

Why they leaked only 3(7)/14 tracks...

Contrary to what others are saying, I think the only really non conventional track leaked right now are Fingertips (totally a Joanna Newsom winding ballad with very little repetition). The others have clear choruses at the very least. The Grants is very conventional apart from the intro. 

 

Thank you, FT.

Are there any traditionally-structured songs on the album. or non-experimental tracks? 

Spoiler

I'd say Fingertips is the only "weird" song so far

i did hear a bit of the pastor interlude while scrolling on social media, and i couldn't hear well over the tag, but my thoughts were Pink Floyd's Great gig in the sky vibe?

I also got Pink Floyd vibes from it !

I listened to the leaks and I can't remember any lyrics/melody/rhythm. My serve. It was one listen and one listen only

[Ultraviolencequeen 2,864]

Is Lana singing on either interlude?
