What movie was it meant for? A documentary?

I've heard it was for Spring Breakers, which makes sense considering Harmony Korine co-wrote the song

i googled the movie and found out it's from 2012/2013, so maybe the song is from 2012?  but Auerbach has also credits and he met Lana in late 2013/early 2014, so idk

i feel like no matter if it’s winner winner or winter we’re not in, its kinda a silly lyric anyway so just sing whatever lyric you think it is!

That's my conclusion after listening to all the live performances.

it's one of these, it's hard to know for sure if she says the T silently on purpose in winter or if she is just saying winner but both of these make sense with the song unlike the nonsensical lyric that's being pushed which makes no sense in context (like the winter we're not in). but this time i really don't have the patience to teach context and structure of lyrics to annoying and rude af people on the internet who write paragraphs trying to discredit and attack others because of their own personal projections, lack of knowledge (Apple Music is not official for Lana, some artists submit their lyrics to Apple Music but not her so they pull whatever lyrics they can find from Genius/online) and whatever mental health issues they got going on underneath all that craziness that i want nothing to do with.

 

oh and also having the stems is a big help! but what do i know? no amount of evidence or common sense can help people who can't accept that they are wrong and need a check-up with their ears...

It sounds like 

"Love the winter we're not in"

and yes, if you knew the English language well enough it DOES make sense.

 

She says she loves the winter, although there is no winter in Florida cause it's always hot. Since they're snorting cocaine it's winter for them. "Let the winter, winter in" is just not something Lana would do from a songwriting perspective. Not only does it sound dumb, she just doesn't just repeat the same word like that to fill a few beats.

See above for context explanation.

love the winter we're not in  ijbol

whatever you say girl, if you hear the word "let" and think it sounds like "love" then i don't think i'm the one who needs english lessons

slowing down the vocal stems and listening to all the live performances, go skiing is the one. every time she says it in an elongated (two syllable) way that someone wouldn't say skin as which is just one syllable. she wouldn't accentuate or elongate that word like that if it was "skin". i was also unable to hear "-ld" as it would be on 'gold' on the vocal stems, definitely no "L" or "D" there no matter how many times i loop that part. she's also directly talking to this pretty daddy (YOU snort it like a champ on the next line) so it makes sense for her to be saying YOU go skiing, not pretty daddy goES skiing. she is telling him to go ski those white lines, snort them up, let the winner in. https://youtu.be/Y4OuV0j6DHQ?t=95

But is she singing "that's how we do it bae/babe"? cause I keep reading "that's how we do it like" online

[Dark Angel 203,523]

all of the discourse surrounding florida kilos' lyrics just makes me want to listen to it  

 

c'mon down to flor-i-duh!

i got something for ya!

 

[111 36,943]

this is minor but it's "dance that night away" not "dance the night away"

it deserved to be on the UO color vinyl repress tbh. I understand they wanted to keep it true to how it was originally released in 2014, but I would’ve loved if the repress had the deluxe version + Flipside and Is This Happiness on it somehow…

[ultrabanisters 46,090]

a smash hit

 

when i sing along i will continue incoherently mumbling as she does in the song so it doesnt matter what i think the real lyrics are 

[pinewoodlogs 2,361]

white lines pretty baby go skiing,

you snort it like a champ like the winter we’re not in

 

the lyric white lines is enough proof to know it’s about cocaine. some ppl call coke snow.

florida never snows or rly has winters, so that’s the whole “like the winter we’re not in” line

[Embach 45,086]

There's this old cringe memory which always comes to my mind when I listen to Florida Kilos
