evilentity 13,343 Posted July 19, 2013 The lyrics to the song are like a bunch of bad similes. Love the first few bars of the instrumental before the vocals come in. Reminds me a lot of the Twin Peaks theme. Other than that it's not that great. 3 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SarcasticBeauty 1,540 Posted July 20, 2013 Idk why, maybe I'm wrong but I hear "Late summer nights, end ya life on it." But I do hear "In July, flaunt it." too. But it's definitely "Late" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344 Posted July 20, 2013 The lyrics can be a little bit silly with the similes, but I feel like there's an appeal in that silliness at the same time. It's just so shamelessly adorable of Lana when she's clumsy with her articulation. I could imagine the boyfriends that fawned over that quality about Lana. Beautifully awkward and awkwardly beautiful. Like JFK. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMCBryan 217 Posted July 20, 2013 When I first heard the snippet I expected it to be a more upbeat song...but she just sang that one party really fast. I still like it though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilentity 13,343 Posted July 21, 2013 Maybe you have to be a native English speaker to appreciate this, but the phrase "throat like an angel" sounds really awkward... unless you're talking about something else besides their singing voice: 2 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.
