Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

i was never the type of person to care for lyrics, as long as they flow well with the instrumental and make at least some some sense, its all good.  I love Freak for its bass 

[Tammy 2,291]

Finally got my Box Set!! It's a super sweet one. Love everything about it...

[whitman 1,286]

Months after... Freak is disgusting, trash, senseless, stupid

 

Honestly it's the worst song on the album. It's gross

[PARADIXO 32,927]

I agree with these posts about Freak. Everything could have been better (I love its production, though) and the lyrics are definitely the worst on the record, along with Swan Song and Salvatore (and maybe Art Deco, too, but let's just mention 3 because the list would be long ) I never skip it though, it's really enjoyable ~ and it flows very well.

 

And I agree with @@Cacciatore about the "Give me your diamonds" line, it's TERRIBLE, unnecessary, Lana-cliché and random.

 

1000th post!

I love Freak. It makes me feel loved and not so lonely

[naachoboy 7,993]

Freak is the worst

[Kommando 3,264]

Freak could have been a career highlight tho. Too bad everything's so meh about heunnymeün

[Lad 8,801]

Freak is my second favorite song on Honeymoon. But I do agree that it could've been better. While High by the Beach, Freak and Art Deco are all highlights for me, it's noticeable they're the last songs she did for the album. They are all good (to me) but lack something and with a little effort could be better. ~ Lirically ~ Freak and Art Deco are low efforts, I mean those second verses are almost just reprises of the first ones, and ~ sonically ~ along with HBTB they don't go anywhere. She also sounds bored in them tbh.

 

Nonetheless, I love them. Yeah, could have been better, but they're still great. I prefer them over songs that had visibly more work (like Honeymoon or 24 instrumental-wise) or better vocals (Terrence Loves You).

She sounds bored in all HM songs

[Capaldi 269]

She sounds bored in all HM songs

 

there's a lot of obvious passion in her vocals in Terrence Loves You 

[DominicMars 1,763]

I think every song on the album is great,except GKIT but I'll probably grow to like it in a few months

[Wild One 3,306]

 

Everything about HM is good.

You all are just weird.

[PARADIXO 32,927]

She sounds bored in all HM songs

 

Oh come on, I respect every single opinion but this is just... Do you hear the passion she pours on Honeymoon's second verse, all of God Knows I Tried, Religion, 24? The sadness and helplessness in Terrence Loves You's bridge? The dramatic vocals in Salvatore's chorus, The Blackest Day? The minute-long high note she holds in Burnt Norton? ( ) She sounds absolutely passionate and confident.

Maybe I have to listen to it again

[TheBoss 13,481]

Freak has te worst lyrics, the production and vocals tho

[thatsomason 1,202]

Freak feels like a Lana-remake of a Lizzy track (like Yayo paradise version, but trashier)

[WaitForLife 5,233]

Baby if you wanna leave, come to california, be a freak like me too

You're starting to sound like that graham dude

Worst lines on HM:

 

Honeymoon

"Mr. Born to lose"

"Everything you do is elusive to even your honey dew"

I like the overall meaning of the song though

 

Music to Watch Boys To

"Playing their guitars, only one of my toys"

"Lies can buy eternity"

"Nothing gold can stay, like love or lemonade"

 

High By the Beach

I can't mention a line because I do like these lyrics even though the fact that she wants to "get high by the beach" is so random

 

Freak

"Baby, if you wanna leave come to California, be a freak like me, too"

"It all seems stranger than a stranger"

Tragic.

 

Art Deco

The entire chorus

"You want in, but you just can't win so you stay in the lights"

 

Salvatore

"Beatboxing and rapping in the summer rain"

"Catch me if you can, working on my tan"

I highly doubt this song has a meaning behind it, seriously. Just like Summertime Sadness. These are my least favorite lyrics from the record.

 

24

"There's only 24 hours, so you'd say... for most of them you pay for all the things they paid you for, my love"

"Give me your heat. Give me your diamonds. You hit that street. And my ???"

 

Swan Song

"Let's just get lost, that's what we want"

 

Best lines from HM:

 

Terrence Loves You

"I still got jazz when I've got those blues"

The bridge

 

God Knows I Tried

"I feel free when I see no one and nobody knows my name"

"On Monday they destroyed me but by Friday I'm revived"

"I've got nothing much to live for ever since I found my fame"

 

High By the Beach

"You could be a bad motherfucker but that don't make you a man"

 

Freak

"Palms reflecting in your eyes, like an endless summer"

 

Religion

"When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray"

"No more cloudy days, even when the storms come, in the eye we'll stay"

 

The Blackest Day

"It's my favorite color and my favorite tone of song"

"I have heavy heart-strings"

"Looking for love in all the wrong places"

"I'm playing head games with you, got you where I want you"

"It's not one of those phases I'm going through"

 

24

"If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas"

 

Swan Song

"Rushing up from the water where the ice meets"
