Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd

Totally agree!!! The way this verse repeats the structure of « there’s a tunnel » / « there’s a girl » and the piano notes in the background are so beautiful!!! 

I'm very much a listener that gets more impressed by great lyrics than anything else (obviously sound is important too. However IDGAF if she releases piano ballads for the rest of her career as long as the lyrics and atmosphere are there), so I know that this album is about to destroy me and join Honeymoon for the crown jewel of her catalog.

The third verse and the chorus get a lot of love, but I have to say that the second verse might be my favorite lyrically:

 

There's a girl who sings "Hotel California"
Not because she loves the notes or sounds that sound like Florida
It's because she's in a world preserved, only a few have found the door
It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors running down the corridor

 

Who else is writing like this? 

I think this verse is my favorite too, especially the way she sings 

 

It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors running down the corridor

oh man

I absolutely love this. I don’t think any modern pop artist comes remotely close to her lyricism

[WhitehotOcean 1,073]

my fave tunnel title track lyric is:

”Lennon in my back, whispering in my ear “come on, baby, you can thrive”, but I can’t”

[Topanga 1,384]

me and my dad were listening to ocean blvd and i was explaining to him the meaning of the song and he said what if she was at a swingers party and she was crying whens it gonna be my turn and her vagina is the tunnel...

i just love “don’t forget me” especially towards the end, there’s just something so bittersweet about it 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,782]

there's knowing urself but there's also that re-knowing of the self from another person's trusted perspective. like ur meeting an old friend again and what u know of each other's been preserved

Depression hit me today and I was thinking of getting it tattoed. I really feel like I’ve grown with Lana and her can resonate to her emotions now as I did 10 years ago. Either she’s a fantastic storyteller, or our depressos are always in perfect sync

i like to think maybe its bc she's not afraid of expressing herself about very real things imo
