Salvatore

Hey guys, this is one of her songs I made a lyrics video to.  I took a swing (and a miss) at what comes right before Tangerine Dreams, cuz I really have no clue on that one.  I think I got the rest right, tho.

I just had a random thought about the Soft Ice Cream lyrics

 

"Soft ice cream" sounds the same as "Soft i scream"

Idk, i know it's not grammatically correct (but bestest aint correct either so), but maybe that's a cute little thing Lana thought about while writing.

Should've been the final single *drops mic*

[Lucas B. 1,459]

For the ones who don't know what she sings before ''tangerine dreams'', here's what I hear:

 

The summer's wild and I've been waiting for you

All this time, I adore you

Can't you see you're meant for me?

 

The summer's hot 

But i've been cold without you

I was so wrong not to tell

I'm in regine

Tangerine dreams

 

As far as I know, the word ''regine'' means 'queen' in italian, so it's like she's saying 'i'm a queen, tangerine dreams'

"I was so wrong not to doubt your medellin, tangerine dreams"

[slang 1,532]

With all due respect to @@Eclipse, the fact that LDR DMs him and says it's "Calciatore" but then she doesn't post a clarifying lyric snippet on her facebook or elsewhere is highly suspicious. When someone shows me the latter kind of evidence, I'll be convinced, not before. I mean, couldn't she just be motivated to pull his chain a bit.

 

However, I have a theory that she wouldn't necessarily be lying to @@Eclipse, based on this evidence:

 

I typed "cacciatore calciatore" into google search and immediately found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrizio_Cacciatore  (along with a recent picture of him in the sidebar).

 

So my interpretation of the song is she sings cacciatore to mean hunter and the footballer, Cacciatore, and wants everybody to believe that she's really singing a food reference. So everybody's right in a sense, and it's a triple (?) entendre of sorts.

Salvatore was perhaps THE song of HM that was literally the epitome of word painting. 

So much imagery in this gorgeous track.

adding to the cacciatore / calciatore discussion : pretty sure it's calciatore.

 

firstly, because if the song is indeed based on her holiday in Italy with Francesco, the calciatore reference would make sense since they were in Portofino, a fashionable beach town that's a notable footballer hotspot, as any Italian knows. google 'calciatore Portofino' and you'll get virtually endless results.

 

secondly, it makes sense in the context of describing the 'downtown scenes' - footballers & limousines (the town's glamour, basically), then she meets her lover, then the ice cream reference. '(chicken) cacciatore' followed by 'limousine' would be a complete non sequitur.

bless. it was always p obvious it was calciatore to me, but it's nice to be proven right lmao

 

anyway, this song grew on me. it has a certain kitsch factor that i wasn't really a fan of at first & bc of that it used to be one of my least fave songs from HM, but now i like it.

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

in the wise words of @@Beautiful People 
 
i present you all with a superior italian man: Gian Maria Volonté . tell me this isn't someone lana would daydream about 

also check the evil villain laugh in the beginning of salvatore, it's probably not him cause his voice doesn't seem that hearty but the idea matches him more so than francesco

 

lyrics from other songs that could be western references/inspired too:

 

hm: "we both know the history of violence that surrounds you"

"there are violets in your eyes, there are guns that blaze around you, there are roses in between my thighs, a fire that surrounds you, it's no wonder every man in town has neither fought nor found you" though part of this reminds me more of clint eastwood's "the man with no name" character rather than gian's villains. also the drums and horns when she sings that part sound VERY ennio morricone whew i love her

 

freak: this one's kind of a reach but the whole "come to california" thing makes me think of everyone heading west for the gold rush, and the "screw your anonymity" bit again reminds me of the man with no name (even tho his name is joe lmao)

 

24: the entire song

 

also i'm literally just having fun yall pls don't try to drag me for any of this i know yall get twisted when people try to put forward their own little theories but i'm literally just bored and trying to entertain myself lmao

 

leak morricone

To solidify the "Calciatore" discussion; at 0:49, you can clearly see she's hitting a ball like a footballer.

[The Siren 30,521]

I just realized there's a man laughing in the intro for the first time and it kinda startled me
