Shades Of Cool

[GodBlessMe 2,141]

[SarcasticBeauty 1,553]

The ending was so peaceful and lovely, her just making adlibs and little notes to end the song off with.

[YUNGATA 14,955]

some of the vocals/production style really remind me of florence + the machinie tbh.

[tiffanydale 193]

My baby lives in shades of cool

(???) heart and hands and aptitude

He lives for love, for women too

I'm one of many (???)

Blue heart and hands and aptitude

I'm one of many, one is blue

Maybe? idk

[Aaron 163]

Not 100% sure if it's right, but I like @@Skid Row Cherry Pie's interpretation: "I'm one of many bonnies blue."

 

Bonny- adj.  attractive; beautiful.

                n.  used as a form of address for one's beloved or baby.

 

So she's basically saying he has other beautiful girls on the side, but she is his favorite: "he calls for me and not for you." 

Makes the most sense from what I've seen. 

[firecracker 60]

I hear 

 

But you are unfixable,

I can’t break through your world.

‘Cause you live in shades of cool,

Your heart is unbreakable.

[comeintomybedroom 8,664]

My baby lives in shades of blue,

blue eyes and jazz and attitude.

He lives in California too,

he drives a Chevy Malibu.

 

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

He lives for love,

he loves his drugs,

he loves his baby too.

 

But I can't fix him,

can't make him better.

And I can't do nothing about

his strange weather.

 

But you are unfixable.

I can't break through your world.

'Cause you live in shades of cool.

Your heart is unbreakable.

 

 

My baby lives in shades of cool.

Cool heart and hands and aptitude.

He lives for love, for women too,

I'm one of many bonnies 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 cant help him,

can't make him better.

And I can't do nothing about

his strange weather.

 

 

'Cause you are unfixable.

I can't break through your world.

'Cause you live in shades of cool.

Your heart is unbreakable.

 

 

 

You are unfixable.

I can't break through your world.

'Cause you live in shades of cool.

Your heart is unbreakable.

[MotelHoney 306]

Agree it's unfixable and not invincible. It lines up with 'unbreakable' and matches with 'can't fix him'.

 

Also in the guitar solo, I think it's 'your heart is unbreakable' all distorted

[C0neyIslandKing 2,206]

I definitely hear unfixable and not invincible! Really lovely song, I like these lyrics

[Sitar 22,218]

I distinctly hear "unfixable" rather than "invincible", which makes more sense with her trying to break through to his world (what can I do to turn you on or get through to you?)

[Sjp1988 32]

Bonnie is a Scottish word meaning beautiful so if it is written for Barrie that would make sense since he's Scottish and all

[Mind Melt 10,099]

Yes, I definitely hear unfixable now! It makes much more sense.

[American Money 681]

Best lyrics we've gotten from Ultraviolence so far imo.

[Creyk 11,754]

Best lyrics we've gotten from Ultraviolence so far imo.

Don't forget about these iconic WC lyrics though

 

I can see my baby swinging

His parliament is on fire when his hands are up

On the balcony and I'm singing

Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love

 

[Nina Rina 1]

I think it's

"I'm one of many .. one is blue" :|

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,345]

"I'm one of many/

one is blue,"

She's the lonelier woman out of the many he sleeps around with, while he goes and tries to fulfill his desires elsewhere, she's left alone, blue.

At least that's how I interpreted that line, makes sense to me from that angle.

[comeintomybedroom 8,664]

I clearly hear unfixable/bonnys blue.

 

Is it bonnys or bonnies?

[electriclavender 143]

I clearly hear unfixable/bonnys blue.

 

Is it bonnys or bonnies?

 

If it is the Scottish word it's "bonnies"

[TheKingofHorror 42]

Your heart, women in the summer. Part with your lover. Maybe something...leave. Suddenly you leave IDFK. Jesus Lana that bridge what the hell are you saying girl? lol.

 

Anyway she's definately saying something in the bridge like whole sentences because, I can hear the sylables.

 

At first I thought that she was saying "You are unphaseable" in the chorus but, it's obviously "you are unfixable".

 

And is it possible the second verse is my baby lives in shades of cold? I mean it might be gold but, it's definately something with -old at the end. Cold makes scene though cold/cool.

 

My baby lives in shades of cold, cold heart, cold hands, and aptitude.

Just a thought.

And yeah, it's unfixable tbh
