We need more controversial and thought-provoking "problematic" lyrics from Lana. This song should've made it to the album

I thought it was very nice of Lana to pay tribute to the girls who were victims of serial killers :wub:

I was listening more and I'm still not sure what that lyric is, the sound is like "solvensome, slovenson" but that's nonsense, maybe "and so hence" or "and so henceforth" I have no clue

it's interesting she lists the victims of this case since the gilgo killer wasn't arrested until last summer (so after she would have made this song). it sounds like shes trying to say "don't forget these victims and their stories" since the case went unsolved for so long and seemed like it was going to end up as a cold case. maybe another reason she named this song zodiac is because both the zodiac killer and the gilgo serial killer are some of the most "famous" unsolved and unknown (at the time gilgo was but zodiac has never been officially found or solved) cases in the US. The zodiac killer was in california primarily targeting straight couples, and gilgo was in new york who killed prostitutes, which is also interesting since she has connections to both of those places.

This is a very poignant observation and also ties back into the themes of the title track and the sentiment of not wanting to be forgotten :poordat:
