Mafiosa 1,090 Posted June 7, 2015 also I was listening to Carmen today and I realised how bad some of the lyrics are like "her mind's like a diamond" like wtf is this shitwhy is that a bad lyric? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kik 1,564 Posted June 7, 2015 also I was listening to Carmen today and I realised how bad some of the lyrics are like "her mind's like a diamond" like wtf is this shit Her mind's like a diamond Her mind's multifaceted That's how I see it Carmen is a great song imo. I think she took inspiration in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. For me, it's the story of a high-class prostitute. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HEARTCORE 18,971 Posted June 7, 2015 why is that a bad lyric? it's so lazy and means nothing imo, it's a bad simile to have chosen 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodBlessMe 2,141 Posted June 7, 2015 Tbh I prefer the Sad Girl lyrics to Ultraviolence ones. "He used to call me D.N" "Crying tears of gold like lemonade" 6 Quote I AM MY ONLY GOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mafiosa 1,090 Posted June 7, 2015 it's so lazy and means nothing imo, it's a bad simile to have chosenI can see what you mean. I respect your opinion, but I politely disagree. I think it can mean so many things - her mind is sharp, her mind is clear, beautiful, multi-faceted (as kik said). I think it just captures the whole image of Carmen, who she is. The word choice is perfect, imo. It paints a picture of a deceitful, smart, sad girl. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guardian 3,558 Posted June 7, 2015 I was going to say Take Me To Paris, but the only problem I have with it it's the melody, it's really cheesy. Still bop it though I imagine the music video to be her with this look: And her just going on a date with her boyfriend, eating ice cream, walking down the streets of Paris, wearing a really puffy short dress. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillKillQueen 1,298 Posted June 16, 2015 He's my son, He makes me shine like diamonds Sun, which is less creepy. Very unpopular, but I love the All that grace, body, face, party, etc line. It's hilarious and after having a literal discussion about it with a few of my friends, we decided that even though it sounds dumb, how fucking flawless is this man that you want to drag him to heaven? Playing Dangerous. I'd love it with different lyrics I think. I like "The house was already on fire, I swear I'm not a liar" Scarface/Big Bad Wolf/ Delicious are the three worst songs she's written. The daddy daddy daddy songs are weird I guess, but I can't come for them because Little Girls is one of my fav Lana songs 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloudbusting 5,382 Posted October 3, 2017 Best American Record He was cool as heck He was cool as heck... I feel like I don't even need to mention What about all these children, and what about all their parents? And what about all the crowns their wear in hair so long like mine? of Chokechella but this thread is that lyric's home. I love Tomorrow Never Came but: -Whywhywhywhywhywhywhy? People always laugh when I play that song. In that specific part. -Isn't life crazy I said, now that I'm singing with Sean? Get Free is one of the best songs in Lust For Life but: I feel like the second verse could've been worded better Like my part was I, was not discerning, and you as we found out, were not in your right mind. The message of the lyrics is actually nice but it feels forced or gramatically incorrect (even though it's not). Unless that's the point or I'm missing something. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The message of the lyrics is actually nice but it feels forced or gramatically incorrect (even though it's not). Unless that's the point or I'm missing something. I have the same problem. I change the grammar in my head because I find that the original wording isn't flowing very well, it's a bit pedantic. (but who am i to criticise her wording LOL). I also hate "puts you in a trance" and prefer something like "sets you in a trance", i find some words too basic idk there's a similar problem, imho, in 13 beaches and (the first verse of) cherry 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
