Florida Kilos

[larina 682]

Like the winter that we're in.

 

It's preferring to cocaine, how it's white and powdery like snow. And when you snort it, a cold feeling will rush through your body like you're out naked in the winter. (At least that's what I think.)

It's like the winter we're not in but yeah, I love this simile so much! I'm not sure about the feeling as I have never snorted cocaine before but I know of its appearance and, just like you said, it looks like snow and snow is of winter. She also calls it snow in the first verse (I think): turning diamonds into snow. I'm in love with the use of metaphor in this song!

 

Actually, I have a suggestion for the lyrics:

You guys don't think it might be white lines, baking powder on the stove? Like, a repetition of that white lines lyric as Lana does say it a few times throughout the song.

 

And also, I'd just like to add that I'm in love with that guitar bit at the beginning  I could listen to the instrumental on repeat, but I love Lana's voice, it's kinda different to the rest of the tracks on Ultra, like, the tone. Honestly, I hope she sings it live!

Yeah it's definitely not white palms.

This song is one of my favorites on uv. Could've gotten radio play but Lana's marketing team is shit. It's one of the most replayable songs on uv.

[320kbps 3,649]

I'm pretty positive it's "like the winter we're not in," but what I'm not sure about is the line before.

It could be "white lines, pretty daddy, goes "kid,..."

Or "white lines, pretty daddy, go ski it..."

I'm thinking the latter, because it fits in with the winter line, and skiing is a slang term for doing a line.

[nevada darling 541]

Yeah it's definitely not white palms. 

I agree... I'll forever stick by "white lungs, baking powder".

I, KNOW, RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! Like to Polydor/Interscope! I once said something like that as a status before and someone said Lana didn't want a song about drugs being UV's promo:

FloridaFlipside

Florida Kilos is pop enough to be popular - the music and what the song is about. I can feel it.

  yourdangerousgirlthis song is everything rn but i don't think lana would release it as a single bc she doesnt want to be associated with a coke song lol. as for pop hit potential, it depends if lana's team sends it to pop stations tbh.

Yeah, I agree

Lana's management team sucks. They need to hire me. With her talent and my manipulation skills she definitely would go down in history as one of the greats.

[sweetie 6,628]

I hope this proves that it's 'chica cherry cola-la'

But you see her close her mouth after Cola la suggesting that there's an M in there for Cola lime because then she opens then closes her mouth again to breathe and say Prison.

[slayLANAslay 239]

it's drink a cherry cola lime 

 

i love her little dance moves in this song. i'm also cryingggggggggggggg that i missed her on this tour. i have seen most of it vicariously with the help of lanaboards and the awesome fans who post video and audio. oh the emotions, i'm still stunned over Jon Snow and then she goes and plays FK in FLORIDA. 

 

please more FK videos, i need them for my SHRINE

[annedauphine 35,948]

I honestly didn't even knew it was questioned, it always has been extremely obvious to my hears that it's chicca cherry cola lime, but then again I constantly mishear lyrics

[LittleFool 1,912]

It's "chica." I've always questioned the line, "like the winter we're not in." But that's been confirmed now for me. So glad she did this one live. Mostly because everyone said it would never happen lol

[lflflflflflflflflflf 3,722]

I always thought it was "let the winter winter in" (idk if ive said this before tbh)

Like... let the snow in(to ur nose)

Keep hoping. You and I have always agreed it's "chica"/"chick-a" (or however you choose to spell it), but I still think it's "cola lime", not "cola-la". The rhyme scheme on the pre-chorus is AAABBB. It's gotta be a word with a long 'I' vowel sound to rhyme with "time" and "side". That syllable isn't super distinct on either the studio or live version, but I don't hear anything in either that dissuades me from thinking it's "lime".

 

sure as shit ain't white palms

 

Yeah, she definitely doesn't say "palms" in the live version. She might be mistakenly repeating "white lines". Though I'm beginning to think this person was right:

Am I the only one hearing "white lungs, baking powder..."?

No, you're not the only one hearing that. On the live version it sounds even more like "lungs" than "lines". When I listen to the studio recording I'm not completely sure what consonant sounds I'm hearing at the beginning and end of that syllable, but the vowel sound doesn't like a long 'I'. It sounds more schwa-like, which fits "lungs". "White lungs", as in you snorted so much cocaine your lungs turned white.

[Pluto 1,581]

I hate that we don't have official lyrics. 

[Thunder Revenant 20,961]

SO it's definitly "If you'll be by my side" and "like the winter we're not in" (it makes the most sense that way anyway)

[drewby 9,247]

with this video it sounds like "gold skin"...people mishear 'ski' but gold skin could be a tan since the song references Florida

 

 

[evilentity 13,348]

I don't understand this odd lyrics debate and I feel like it's a trick somehow.

I'm confused and scared.

PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE LINES AND BLACK SKIN
