plush 656 Posted June 24, 2014 This song is a fucking lustrous bop, its so chill and mellow, and the chorus really hits me even though its so plain, the echoes five it such a simple seduction feel that ugh :orgasm: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HEARTCORE 18,971 Posted June 24, 2014 It should be called Pretty When I Cry I disagree, I like it as you because it sounds like the guy is telling her that; he's saying 'you're pretty when you cry', which she reiterates throughout the song itself as 'i'm pretty when i cry' in a sort of warped sense. If the title had been I, it would've seemed as if Lana had come up with this validation herself. By saying you, it makes it seem that the guy has warped Lana's sense of judgement to make her think that she is most attractive when she is upset - it's essentially an excuse for the guy's negligence of Lana and his use of narcotics. Basically, 'Pretty When I Cry' is the twisted self from the Born to Die era. 'Pretty When You Cry' is the self that has been twisted through drugs and others; this is the Ultraviolence era. 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lad 8,801 Posted June 24, 2014 My theory is that both CW and PWYC where chords already titled by Blake (like Charli XCX's "Grins"), and Lana took some inspiration from those titles ~ "let the light in - it's a cruel world" + "pretty when I cry" but idk 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
