Melancholia

Recommended Posts

If it was the New York Times, they'll say that I'm dead
And if Rolling Stone, they'll say I'm uninviting
I don't really give a fuck, it's no surprise
I never had friends here either
Still I'm on a run with the light in my eyes
And if you did it wouldn't happen either

Β 

Sometimes bad things happen to good people
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
That don't mean they stop
They can fight for what's right and I will
'Cause I don't have the time to kill
And I, I don't have the will

Β 

If you see the light in my eyes, know I'm shining
I walk my road alone 'til here, so I'll keep riding
I don't need your love, I've been this far down
Back into the New York City
I've been sober for eleven years right now
If that don't mean a thing, well, I tried

Β 

'Cause sometimes bad things happen to good people
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
And I won't stop, I won't fight
I'll just stray towards the light
'Cause I know sometimes bad things happen to good people
And that's mine

Β 

Jesus, walk with me
I don't have anything I can offer up to you
But Jesus can comfort me
I don't really wanna drink, some powder will do
Heaven is on Earth
I have peace and that's more than you
I can live in the light like a maniac
In the stars attack, in the zodiac

Β 

So ride for the first time and die for the last time
I'm with the angels and [?]
Keeping me harder, I try and I start
But I'm scared I won't catch up and it don't matter

Β 

Sometimes bad things happen to good people
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
And I will fight for the right
To keep on making art out of my life
Fight for the right to be different
In a world full of fake bitches

maybe she says "know" here? it would also make sense with the next line

Her mind.. damn if this leaked the way it was I'd be like okay next but she really turned it into a whole masterpiece in the end..

Makes me wonder how much other demos could be reworked into something next level with the right lyric/melody/production changes

Okay so this is random but idk what else it could be. I’ve slowed it down and listened to it like a hundred times and to me it’s definitely β€œim with the angels and I’m stratsing the black now”. Either β€œI’m strategising” or:Β 
Β 

The black strat is like the most famous electric guitar (David Gilmour’s original). Idk if it just means she’s playing an electric guitar now?

Β 

otherwise I have no clue.. I can’t hear anything other than β€˜stratsing’

Some powder will do

And ? it don’t matter


Not that important lol. ButΒ the zodiac line and the β€˜im with the angels’ line are driving me crazy.Β Can’t figure it out at all

I think it's really cool to get some private information regarding her view of her own public image and the media. She specifically name drops the NYT and RS (both publications she worked with during Ultraviolence era), like wow. I think there isn't much of a conversation on how she might have PTSD from the era of rising to fame and having so many blogs criticize her music and looks. Interesting she reworked this into a song about an abusive relationship, similarly one she was having with the press. I would love to ask her why she ditched the song in favor of Ultraviolence.
