Mind Melt 10,090 Posted July 5, 2014 So I guess I'm the only person who heard "ghost kid" instead of go ski it. Idk where y'all are getting white palms or zoomin in my miles (or w/e) from tho 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prostitutestare 142 Posted July 6, 2014 This song is fun and reminds me of "Hollywood" in how it glamourizes drug use and liberal fellowship. As I listen to it, I easily hear TLC singing this song. It totally sounds like something T-Boz and the girls would have slayed years ago. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LanasPrettyBaby 1 Posted July 20, 2014 It pisses me off to see "Drink a cherry cola lime" everywhere when that doesn't even sound close to right. me too. Lana lyrics rarely make sense and CHICA fits so much more in Lana world. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QueenofAlchemy 186 Posted July 20, 2014 The 'people never die in Miami' lyric makes me think of Dexter tbh.... me too! 0 Quote High up in the Hollywood hills, Taking violet pills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HEARTCORE 18,833 Posted July 24, 2014 this song is reminds me of Boarding School in the way that it glamorises drug abuse. in both songs, Lana sings in a cheery, girlish voice that makes you forget the true nature of what she's singing about. it's only when you REALLY listen to the lyrics that you realise how wrong the song is. the song works so well as the end of the deluxe imo cause most of the songs before it are all about how Lana is rejected and emotionally drained by her boyfriend's drug addiction, but with this song, it's kind of like she's succumbed to the addiction - she's no better than her pill-popping boyfriend now. Lana's so clever. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larina 682 Posted July 30, 2014 Florida Kilos is seriously one of my favourite songs of all time! So, I now see that the "kilos" reference means kilograms of cocaine. That makes more sense because what I thought was kilometres per hour which is what Australia uses to measure speed. It made sense with Lana's driving hobby but it didn't make sense because the American unit of measurement is miles per hour. When I read the tracklist I thought this song was going to be about driving around Florida But this is what I hear for lyrics: White lines, pretty baby, tattoosDon't know what they meanThey're special, just for youWhite lungs [maybe a reference on health problems? I don't know what drugs cause but I know it would make sense with smoking - white lungs meaning dead], baking powder on the stoveCooking up a dream, turning diamonds into snowI feel you, pretty baby, feel meTurn it up hot, loving you is freeAh, I get down, I get down way lowBut you already know thatYou already know Come on down to FloridaI got something for yaWe could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh yaGuns in the summertimeChic-a-Cherry Cola limePrison isn't nothing to me if you'll be buying us Yayo, yayo, yayoAnd all the dope fiendsYayo, yayo, yayoSun in my mouth [it sounds like a th sound unless Lana has a lisp there] and gold hoopsYou like your little baby like your-like your drinks, coolWhite lines, pretty daddy, gold skinYou snort it like a champ, like the winner, winner in Come on down to Florida I got something for yaWe could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh yaGuns in the summertimeChic-a-Cherry Cola limePrison isn't nothing to me if you'll be buying us Yayo, yayo, yayoAnd all the dope fiendsYayo, yayo, yayo We could get high Miami, ooh, dance the night awayPeople never die in Miami, ooh, that's what they all say, hey?(You believe me, don't you baby?)Come on down to Florida I got something for yaWe could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh yaGuns in the summertimeChic-a-Cherry Cola limePrison don't mean nothing to me if you'll be buying my Yayo, yayo, yayo All the Floridians likeYayo, yayo, yayoAll the Columbians likeYayo, yayo, yayoAnd all my girlfriendsYayo, yayo, yayo That's how we do it, nowMm mm, pretty babyWhite lines, pretty babyGold teeth, pretty babyDance the night away 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lana's so clever. And Yayo. Lana's songs can be deceptively happy and glamourous, but when you really look into them... And this song has me wanting a cherry cola lime. Do they exist? I missed the big trip to Atlanta to see the Coca-Cola factory. 0 Quote YOU CALL ME LAVENDER, YOU CALL ME SUNSHINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larina 682 Posted July 31, 2014 And this song has me wanting a cherry cola lime. Do they exist? I missed the big trip to Atlanta to see the Coca-Cola factory. Yes, me too! I know cherry colas do, but I have never heard of a cherry cola lime before other than from this song. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ultraviolenced 64 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, me too! I know cherry colas do, but I have never heard of a cherry cola lime before other than from this song.

larina 682 Posted August 1, 2014 Hmm...maybe it's a cherry cola with a slice of lime in it? Maybe, but wouldn't it then be cherry cola and lime? I'm gonna actually look that up... Nope, the only results I get are pages on cherry colas, lime colas or Florida Kilos lyrics Lana probably made it up then. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder Revenant 20,686 Posted August 1, 2014 Pretty sure she's singing "like the winter we're not in". It makes the most sense unlike those "let the winter winter in" or "like the winner winner in". And I also think the "if you're by my side" makes most sense and is actually quite obvious to hear. 1 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VegasBaby 895 Posted August 2, 2014 I hear "chica cherry" instead of "drink a cherry". You can clearly hear the "ch" sound. But we all know Lana doesn't speak or sing very clearly. It's different throughout the song. Chica cherry makes no sense. 0 Quote Sweeping scents and blue hydrangea. Summer hail and summer stranger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeartshapedChevrolet 291 Posted August 9, 2014 i think she might be saying 'zoom' in my mouth, ive used 'zoom' as slang for coke before and so have my friends.. i thought it was common slang but obviously not :/ i am positive it's a pretty common slang word for cocaine though, and i know a few people who call it that also i think she says white lines, pretty daddy, gold skin, you snort it like a champ like the winter were not in 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
