i remember new year's, that year, everything seemed right

we had not made plans and we just drove through the whole night

let's all go find a friend

don't stop until the end

 

please leave me be

who are you to say a soul won't live forever? yeah, yeah

 

each breath is sent from angels

these people, they are not strangers

 

i did think i would live life alone

i was sure i was made of stone

 

oh, the days they go so fast

i can't believe what is in my past

the future's here at last

i don't need to have what she has

 

oh, my soul, rise up, and go

beyond, beyond, to what you know

 

scowling like the sunshine, set on sarasota

happy like a twister, over oklahoma

clear as penny mason, lying in a coma

this is how i'll feel when, all my hurt is over

 

happy as the moonshine, sifting in the nighttime

clichés find a home, inside of him

when he enters all of the lights go dim

he's so sure he got a tragic lifestyle

and i am so sure i can make that man smile

 

i had a dream when i was young

i dreamt our lives were going to be fun

we were always waiting to live

 

wake up each night at the same time

pull up the blind and look outside

and in the orange light, the fog is rising

this is life, this tonight, peace in the quiet

happiness is the sky

 

what an unusual name, you said

what a spectacular redhead

you really seem like a prize to me

and you are so mysterious

when you are not delirious

 

i feel high, as i might, tonight

so lean back, and enjoy the ride

yeah, the weather is clear, and nobody is near

the future is not yet here

 

snow is coming down like rain

i'm mad at myself, a little tired, even more confused

c'mon, baby, don't be shy

you can say what make you high

i see the way you been eyeing the abused

 

[Embach 21,523]

The rumbling from distant shores sends me to sleep
But, the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream

[Strangelove 1,546]

My baby lives in shades of cool

Cold heart and hands and aptitude

He lives for love, for women too

I'm one of many, Bonnie's blue

And when he calls, he calls for me and not for you

He prays for love, he prays for peace, and maybe someone new

But I can't help him, can't make him better

And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,230]

Not necessarily mind-blowing, but Ride:

 

Don't leave me now

Don't say goodbye

Don't turn around

Leave me high and drrryyyyy 

 

+

 

I'm tired of feelin' like I'm FUCKIN CRAZY

I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes

All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just riiiiddeeee

 

 

(The production helps to aid the dramatics of this, Ride is just a classic song from her)

[lanaismamom 11,180]

Oh, writing in blood, on my walls and shit
My God, oh my God
Dripping off from the walls into the ducts and shit
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of it
Baby (Baby)
Come on (Come on)
Come on (Come on)
I'm flying to the moon again
Dreaming about marzipan
Taking all my medicine
To take my thoughts away
I'm getting on that aeroplane
Leaving my old man again
I hope that I come back one day
To tell you that I really changed

 

It's not one of those phases I'm going through
Or just a song, it's not one of them
I'm on my own
On my own
On my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again

I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble
But I, I got a war in my mind
So, I just ride

Seasons may change, but we won't change

I'm pretty when I cry
 

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,230]

Pawn Shop Blues

 

Well, I didn't know it would come to this but
That's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright with letting nice things go

 

 

 

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Golden metal flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them off
And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no, no
But I got to get to and from where I come
And it's gon' take money to go

You don't get it
You just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
Came tonight to put my work on display
Bringing New York down to St. Tropez
You don't get it
You just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
(1) I won't fall in love
(2) I won't ever stop
(3) I'm partying all night
(4) I'm gonna make it pop

All of fingertips and kintsugi 

 

A modern day woman with a weak constitution, 'cause I've got
Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off

this one too

Got enough on his mind.

Gosh, I'm obsessed with this song, and these lyrics were just in my head before I came in and read you. 

[ByDayAnother 1,862]

‘Brought by the sunlight

Of the spirit to pour into me -

There’s a name for it in Japanese:

It’s kintsugi.

 

They sang folk songs from the forties,

Even the fourteen year-old knew

Froggy-Came-a-courtin’ -

How do my blood relatives

Know all of these songs?

I don’t know anyone left

Who knows songs that I sing -

That’s how the light gets in.’

 

Or alternatively

 

‘There we went,

Screaming “Black Lives Matter”

In the crowd on that Old Man River,

And I saw you saw who I am -

God I wish I was with my father,

He could see us in all our splendour,

All the things I couldn’t want for him.’

 

Both of these were mic drops for me - these impossibly run-on sentences that simultaneously lilted melodically.

“…so I ended up awkward but sweet

later than hospitals but still on my feet

comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry”

This used to be my number ONE Lana song , her debauchery era

 

"Fuck. Yea. Giveittome

This is heaven, what I truly want to

It's innocence lost "

[GeminiLanaFan 45,829]

I’ve always loved lyrics that surprised me on first listen, where I was like 

such as « Goddamn manchild, you fucked me so good I almost said I love you » or « You can be a bad motherfucker but that don’t make you a man » or « In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel looking to get fucked hard ».

 

I’ve always loved the first lines of BAR or TNBAR: « My baby used to dance underneath my architecture ´til the House of the Holies, smoking on them cigarettes »

[Honeyyoung 16,974]

Think by the third of march, I was cracked open
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
There's a name for it in japanese, it's "Kintsugi"

genius

same... this song is really powerful

Me and God we don't get along so now I sing /

God's dead I said baby that's alright with me

 It's innocence lost 

 

Edit: also the lyrics 'No one's gonna take my soul away' are very simple but it hits me every time  I have a feeling this song is about SA but idk if you get it you get it 

 

 

[SalvaWHORE 32,841]

6 minutes of Kintsugi lol

Spoiler

like fr this song gives me a different perspective about "heartbreak" as a whole - "only through the cracks, the light gets in" like her mind oh my god
