GangstaBoy 3,930 Posted September 11, 2015 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 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueJeans 2,606 Posted September 12, 2015 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 ... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graham4anything 2,859 Posted September 12, 2015 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 4 Quote Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrettyBaby 2,219 Posted September 20, 2015 I heard "Blue ribbons or not" originally, but now I do hear "Blue Ribbons on ice." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GodBlessMe 2,141 Posted September 20, 2015 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... 1 Quote I AM MY ONLY GOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slang 1,532 Posted September 25, 2015 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. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comeintomybedroom 8,648 Posted September 25, 2015 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
