Isn’t it also a part of the old Jerusalem temple in the Bible? But I could be wrong though. 

i think you're thinking of "the holy of the holies" which wasn't a temple but a place within the temple of jerusalem where the ark of the covenant was kept but she's definitely saying "houses" in the song but i do like the imagery and religious metaphor of the way you heard it and kinda wish now that that's what she was saying 

[jamesss 3,818]

the entirety of if you lie down with me

[West Coast 45,790]

The entirety of Get Free. Her best song from a lyrical standpoint idc. 

[Ultra Violet 18,853]

You think I'll ever feel different than I do now?

You think I'll ever feel electric again?

You think I'll ever transform into the man God meant to make when he began?

 

[honeymo0n 8,619]

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know

Said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows

[Ethel Cain 8,963]

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

There's no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them
Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance
But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)
There's nothing to hold on to (hold, hold)
The colors used to lure you in (shut up, shut up)
And put you in a trance (ah, ah, ah, yeah)

I especially adore this part

[MrFameKills 11,092]

Pretty much all that have been mentioned but also DYK lyrics

[ultrabanisters 44,643]

all of her lyrics 

 

there are few artists that possess ability like hers and are able to craft such a magnitude of excellence in such a small space 

[Embach 40,961]

The way how every answer is the right answer

I also wanted to give a Lana a big hug when she sang: « My coat still smells like you and all the photographs say I’m still young, I pretend I’m not hurt and go about the world like I’m having fun » 

Omfg I misheard the lyrics all the time, I thought it was "my clothes"

The way you're so right  every Lana song has a songwriting pearl that must be appreciated!

Got it! Thanks! I knew it was also a Led Zeppelin référence, but I also thought it was a reference to the holy of holies (would have been iconic as well). Anyways, I still love this lines so much 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,459]

No one’s gonna take my soul away, I’m livin like Jim Morrison. Headed toward’s a fucked up holiday, motel sprees, sprees and I’m singing

My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola, my eyes are wide like cherry pies 

 

Hello heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights, on a dark night 

 

All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries that pump the blood that flows straight to the heart of me America. 

 

Will you still love me, when I’m no longer young and beautiful? 
… when I got nothing, but my aching soul? 

Got a face like God and a bod like Tron 

 

It’s like Camarillo only silver mirrors runnin down the corridor ~

 

Um. Climb up the H, of the Hollywood sign. In these stolen moments, the world is mine. 
 

who am I to sympathize? When no one gave a damn. And so much of Change.

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 

 

 

"No one's gonna take my soul away" has the same energy as "I am my only god now"

[Rocket0212 2,053]

Goddamn, man-child
You fucked me so good that I almost said "I love you"

 

Represents the mood and theme of the whole album. Nothing too try-hard, simple and effective. It was a game over for the other girls after these 2 lines from NFR.

[cherrytropico 10,994]

There's a hole that's in my heart all my women try and heal

They're doing a good job convincing me that it's not real

It's heat lightning

'Cause there's a man that's in my past, there's a man that's still right here

He's real enough to touch and in my darkest nights

He's shining

 

 

[bia 1,091]

I was in the winter of my life
And the men that I met along the road were my only summer.
At night, I fell asleep with visions of myself
Dancing and laughing and crying with them.

Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me and my only real happy times.

I was a singer, not a very popular one,
Who one had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet -
But upon an unfortunate series of events
Saw those dreams dashed
And divided like a millions stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again - sparkling and broken.

But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is.

When the people I used to know
Found out what I had been doing
How I had been living - they asked me why.
But there's no use in talking to people who have a home,
They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people,
For home to be wherever you lie your head.

I was always an unusual girl,
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul.
No morall compass pointing due north, no fixed personality.
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.
And if I said that I didn't plan for it to turn out this was, I'd be lying -
Because I was born to be the other woman.

Who belonged to no one - who belonged to everyone,
Who had nothing, who wanted everything
With a fire for every experience
And an obsession for freedom
That terrified me to the point I couldn't even talk about -
And pushed me to a nomatic point
Of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.

 

(…)

Every night I used to pray that I'd find my people -
And finally I did - on the open road.
We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing we desired anymore -
Except to make our lives into a work of art.

Live fast. Die young.
Be wild, and have fun
I believe in the country America used to be.
I believe in the person I want to become.
I believe in the freedom of the open road.

And my motto is the same as ever -
I believe in the kindness of strangers.
And when I'm at war with myself - I ride. I just ride.

Who are you?
Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you're free to experience them?
I have! I am fucking crazy, but I am free!

 

(Ride Monologue)

 

oh Lana 

[deleted123 627]

She's such a lyrical genius, but right now my favorite lyrics of hers are from Love -

 

Look at you kids with your vintage music

Comin' through satellites while cruisin'

You're part of the past, but now you're the future

Signals crossing can get confusing

 

Look at you kids, you know you're the coolest

The world is yours and you can't refuse it

Seen so much, you could get the blues

But that don't mean that you should abuse it

 

Though it's enough just to make you go crazy, crazy, crazy

I know, it's enough just to make you go crazy, crazy, crazy

 

I get ready, I get all dressed up

To go nowhere in particular

It doesn't matter if I'm not enough

For the future or the things to come

'Cause I'm young and in love I'm young and in love

 

Don't worry, baby

Don't worry, baby

Don't worry, baby

 

They're just so comforting to me 

[misslonaxo 1,733]

It's a shame and I'm crying right now
To get to you, save you if I take my life
Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
Give you two seconds to cry
Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
'Cause, baby, I ran through a time when I felt you were doing it

[14n4 374]

this consonance of the sound S in TV in black and white 

 

i won't tell a Single Soul how you Spend your nightS in that Single Cell holding your pillow tight

 

it sounds like she's shushing something which makes sense given te context

Edited July 14, 2023 by 14n4
weird text glitch that actually scared me

[Lanaspoisonivy 2,900]

 

You gave to me and my heart can sing

I was a kid who could only drink 

dance on tables, making deals with devils 

like a drunk beauty queen

Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene

and it brought me to my knees 

and it's all, because of you

 

It was a mad world we lived for fun

and we got shit for free

had a dance like an angel, but inside my heart 

was as black as a broke movie screen

 

The fact that she put that into words will forever have me sobbing
