Worst Lana Lyrics

[Rocket0212 2,056]

'Cause breakin' up slowly is a hard thing to do
I love you only, but it's makin' me blue
So don't send me flowers like you always do
It's hard to bе lonely, but it's the right thing to do

 

There's nothing ridiculous about these lyrics but rhyming the same word 3 times is something straight out of Nicki Minaj school of songwriting.

why do people keep on making these treads when it's always the same answers / discussions lol

I couldn't find a thread like this and said in my post if it's a double please merge it. There is no need to be negative.

I wasn't being negative, I just laughed at the amount of "worst Lana lyrics" and similar threads 

[taco truck 32,991]

melancholia in it's entirety but especially 

 

Fight for the right to be different
In a world full of fake bitches

 

literally one of her funniest lines (though i don't think that was the intention lol)

Hi, so I tried searching with the search bar for this topic and did not find anything but please feel free to delete it if the topic already exists.

 

What do you think is Lana's most bizarre/ridiculous lyric?

 

For me, it is the Behind Closed Doors bridge. 

 

Everybody's at the park tonight

Everybody's at the shore

Everybody's on the street tonight

What the hell would we do that for?

Everybody's at the park tonight

But we got fireworks galore, behind closed doors

Behind closed doors

 

It doesn't really make any sense to me! She's saying people are out having fun, meanwhile her and her boyfriend are "too cool" to be a part of that. And what is fireworks galore? They would have to be down the shore or something to see that. 

I don’t think they are talking about actual fireworks…I think it was a sexual reference

‘Cause we were just that good, 
It was just that good (fame, fame, fame…)

"I've been coverin' Joni and dancin' with Joan, Stevie's callin' on the telephone" always made my skin crawl

I agree; I feel like she's above name dropping to that degree

It's not so bad when it's some normy ("Jenny jumped into the pool") because it's fine to refer to people in the context of everyday events, but celebrity name dropping? Not really here for it unless it's purposeful ("Kanye West is blonde and gone" was meaningful so it's fine).

Even "now that I'm singin' with Sean" was okay because it was like this wide-eyed "wow, look at me now" kind of expression but that's my point: she's done that before and DTWD name drops Joan 3 or 4 times (as well as others) and imo it's just too much.

I'd be here for her referring to Joan (or anyone) in a more abstract way but "Joan did this" and "Joan said that" doesn't really do it for me

With all that said, obviously the name dropping is coming from a place of admiration on her part and I get it, but yes, it's substantially cringe

What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?
Never known who he was or the man he'd become
There would be no blue period

 

Lana please

Ugh, and the thing is I like the message behind the song. Even the part you quoted isn't that bad. It's just that the execution is so cringey. It feels so mopey and emo.

i genuinely and unironically love this lyric, it's so strange, unique, and invokes such strong imagery, like i don't picture her bending down to sniff a tail-pipe, i picture it like just her smelling cigarette smoke in the air, she smells the exhaust from a tail-pipe and it makes her smile for some reason

 

honestly it's a really weird lyric now that i think about it more lol

& this is definitely better than the one i had in mind 

[purple haze 49]

Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself

 

love literally everything else about ocean blvd but this feels like something i would reblog on tumblr in 2014. i cringe just a bit

[creditcardromancer 751]

Not y’all posting her campiest lyrics and saying they’re bad… 

 

A bad lyric to me is “we can slow dance to rock music, kiss while we do it, talk till we both turn blue”.. I don’t know why but to me it’s just bad. 

[blackenedrussianpoetry 2,440]

Make me “uncrazy” like you did was insane… i understand it though

[Embach 42,445]

I don't really have a Lana lyric in my mind which I could consider the worst, I would rather consider them strange but reading those people's thoughts AND reactions are is kinda comical not gonna lie...

[cherryblossoms 10,420]

I don’t think it’s her worst but these lines in IIDY always sends me

 

And it’s a little grim

But I sing a hymn only for you
