But that line won’t make any sense: “I can’t help but feel somewhat like my body, mind, my soul” what does that even mean

 

look at the next line.. lyrics don't need to make sense by themselves

 

lana uses the first verse to paint a picture of the tunnel as a beautiful place/thing that was forgotten about and "sealed up by two manmade walls".. throwing in a line about herself in a verse entirely about the tunnel is done in order to start the metaphor of lana as the tunnel.. lana is saying that she feels like her mind, body, and soul are similar to the tunnel in some sort of way

It’s definitely marred and it makes perfect sense

I can assure you, with 100% certainty that it is "marred"

 

until lana verbally (and not in some sort of online statement or lyric book bc anything online is almost always her team) confirms/denies there is no way to have 100% certainty

i’m really curious how people are listening to the song because on my like phone speakers and car speakers i can hear all of the other things but when i put on my good headphones and turn the volume up it’s very clearly “marred”, “thrive”, “give me fire”, the only one that i’m not confident in is leaning/lennon but i think it’s lennon

Where’s that fan who was going to ask whether Lana wanted to slap Patty with a shovel in wf/wf but instead had to ask whether she said “promise” or “promised”. We need you girl

I think you might want to read the lyrics to the song again because my mind my body my soul still doesn't make sense with the way you explained it

[Venice Peach 54,376]

Lennon and leanin both make sense. Lennon cause he produced the Harry album and leaning cause someone is whispering in her ear.

 

I also hear "my body, mind, my soul" cause there's no "r" sound there.

I agree that marred makes more sense but the alternative does too since she's describing the "handmade beauty" that's sealed up (the beauty being her body mind and soul)

[Fingertips 72,051]

I can't help but feel like my body marred my soul

Handmade beauty, sealed up by two man-made walls

 

I can't help but feel like my body, my mind, my soul

Handmade beauty, sealed up by two man-made walls

 

I don't want to give LanaBoards a grammar lesson, but it's clear that the second is not grammatically correct by any standard

Lana put lyrics on the booklets, challenge... Tired of guessing what she's saying

I am on team “marred” because how I interpreted it was “my body marred my soul” = “handmade beauty sealed up by two man made walls”

[Furor Poeticus 16,396]

It's funny how not even some of you lucky bastards native English speakers can't tell what the heck she sings sometimes

I agree that the first one it's probably it and she's just lazily pronouncing "marred" but the second one still makes sense tho... she's just omitting "are"

If we were talking abt another artist, you'd have a point, but it's Lana and she has many examples on her discography where she wasn't the most grammatically correct, therefore, grammar doesn't really matter 

Spoiler

I'm def team #1 tho, mostly bc you can't hear my body, my mind, my soul, you hear my body, [something similar to mind but w/o my] and then my soul

she needs to release a mega lyric book with all her songs. But I'm sure even she doesn't remember what she sings.
