sparklrtrailrheaven 9,050 Posted September 16, 2016 Summer hail and summer stranger Could this line be "Summer hell and summer stranger"? That's what I've always heard, and it makes more sense to me than hail. Besides, I've always felt "summer hell" was much more evocative of the song's air of desperation 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goddess 224 Posted September 17, 2016 I know the comment I'm replying to was written in 2015, but 'chantilly lace catching on the chandelier' makes me think someone was taking off her lingerie and throwing it out of the way in their passion. 6 Quote He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart.

slang 1,532 Posted September 25, 2016 I know the comment I'm replying to was written in 2015, but 'chantilly lace catching on the chandelier' makes me think someone was taking off her lingerie and throwing it out of the way in their passion. True that. But when's the last time you've seen a chandelier in a low-ceilinged room, and how hard would it be to throw lace up there? This might reinforce the idea that they were floating; however, I also recognize that she likes to be ambiguous. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren Bacall 768 Posted January 7, 2017 You look like a Florida native "Are you?"

Trash Magic 28,370 Posted January 12, 2017 omg just had a revelation. Platinum and veil, acrylics skim the paper for the critics makes sense because veil links back to chantilly lace. Because of the way the sentence was broken I always thought the words platinum and "vale" or whatever was describing the colour of her acrylic nails. But it's her with her platinum hair wearing a veil (like in the yayo video!) skimming through the paper with her acrylic nails These lyrics are so great, paint such a picture. However I am now hearing "white kind of" to be a pretty big reach in the first chorus especially but in te last chorus I hear it 7 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparklrtrailrheaven 9,050 Posted February 14, 2019 occasionally i get this song on the brain, and every time i really just marvel at it truly one of her best -- i don't know if she ever has or ever will top some of the imagery and mood set here 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
