Music To Watch Boys To

[James19709 638]

Maybe I'm just really high but I hear "Velveteen, a living symbol"

 

EDIT: ok so no

[GangstaBoy 3,930]

I really like the kitsch imagery of the song, the single cover fits perfectly actually

 

EDIT. I also adore when Lana incorporates poems to her songs so the line 'Nothing gold can stay' takes a complete different meaning and I really like it

[lavender-sunshine 79]

All copies of this song seem to have disappeared from the internet today. Anyone have a DL?

I hear "Wear ribbons on ice" ? But since English isn't my mother tongue, I don't really know what "Ribbons on ice" are, despite googling it. At first, in TIWMTG, I thought it was a type of alcohol or simply ribbons that girls would put in their hair ... 

[dsvelca 837]

Blue ribbons on ice - TIWMUG teas - pabst blue ribbon on ice

 

Did someone get that already? Lmao

 

Edit - I'm massively late

boys=players (band, studio musicians)

music terminology

 

I think she is talking about being either in a recording studio or in concert and while she is singing music, she is watching the boys

(though it wouldn't surprise me if no one here sees it, and proving once again Lana has transended any past female singer and is in the

rarified area of the male singers/groups

 

btw, have another thought about this song, but that's for a different thread

[Just Cherry 3,794]

It's "hoes with lies akin to me" lmao.

[VegasBaby 895]

i fucking love this song 

 

[PrettyBaby 2,220]

I heard "Blue ribbons or not" originally, but now I do hear "Blue Ribbons on ice."

[GodBlessMe 2,141]

I was just thinking that the 'hoes' line might actually make sense. 'Akin', if I'm not mistaken, means being related or alike so I think what she means is that the only thing she has in common with other girls, or hoes, is lies...

[Creyk 11,717]

i fucking love this song 

 

me too

[gaystuff94 93]

Got my cd today. It clearly says "hoes"

[comeintomybedroom 8,657]

I hear "We're ribbons on ice" and "Play 'em like guitars - only one of my toys"

[renaissance 8,330]

I hear "We're ribbons on ice" and "Play 'em like guitars - only one of my toys"

i definitely hear 'we're ribbons on ice'

[COLACNT 5,180]

i hear "howls with lies akin to me" 

[jazzsingrcultleadr 1,708]

I can not accept the fact that "hoes with lies akin to me" is a lyric lmfao. 

 

Someone call the Honeymoon Hotline and ask.

The CD booklet has a lyric snippet for MTWBT printed, which includes that line.

[comeintomybedroom 8,657]

and it makes sense like it fits the whole sisterwives thing, a bunch of hoes that are lying about their past to appear pure or whatever and be able to live happily with a "family".

lana is referring to herself as a hoe too, saying that she has lies just like they do. except she's playing them all and she's been sent to destroy.
