letsescapelizzy 672 Posted September 24, 2015 Anyone else feel like this is a 'duet' between Lana & Lizzie? The 'white tennis shoes' bit sounds like it's directed at a female - like Lizzie in early promo pics - rather than a male. Just a random, half-conceived thought, but I listened to it with this idea in mind last night and it changed the whole tone and meaning of the song for me. very interesting take on it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lafleursauvage 324 Posted September 27, 2015 This sounds like a suicide song. i can't stop interpreting it that way 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristesse 1,765 Posted September 27, 2015 I think it's safe to stop tyring to think that Lana may ever sing to "Lizzy" or reverse. She is not schizophrenic or anything, she said multiple times that she is the same person, who grew up, of course, but still the same. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BabyBlue 677 Posted October 1, 2015 I don't know where you're all getting these negative interpretations. The song clearly is about quitting your jobs and just spending the rest of your life with your love, in a world where that's not possible 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially since Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is next. I think she wrote it so that it could be subjective, like any artist would. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lernerderrey 2,415 Posted October 13, 2015 i think she is comparing herself a cult leader by saying "put your white tennis shoes on and follow me"kinda being like if you follow me, you'll have a clean start 1 Quote i am the queen of the universe. the waves part, and they engulf me, and the water is warm. https://onlineparades.bandcamp.com/album/sure-jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelHeadedHipster 2,838 Posted October 17, 2015 Swan Song is really underrated.....It's a career highlight in my opinion. The bridge slays me everytime....Her vocals in this song especially are the most beautiful I have ever heard!!! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MermaidMotelle 279 Posted October 18, 2015 Not really a contribution but this song makes me fucking weep. One of her best ever. 2 Quote Also known as BlueAsJeans on AltBoards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Bottom 16,229 Posted November 20, 2015 Am I the only one who hears "and you won't wait another day" instead of "work another day"?? Maybe it's just the way she pronounces it. Sortve like the "accion" situation of put me in a movie 1 Quote "And when you see my face on every billboard and TV screen, you'll regret the day you walked away" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueJeans 2,606 Posted February 18, 2016 "You've got your money now, You've got your legacy" I'm slowly getting into this one. The intro, her voice on the first verse... I'm still not a big big fan of the chorus although the bridge is sort of nice, but "Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me" and the quote I mentioned here above really satisfy me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristinaj 1,168 Posted February 18, 2016 Swan Song is one of the greatest tracks from Honeymoon tbh. The only annoying thing is how she pronounces 'tennis shoes' as 'ten issues' at the end of the song 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
