Methamphetamines

Recommended Posts

GUYS. I THINK I FIGURED OUT THE SONG SHE SAMPLES IN METHAMPHETAMINES.

It's "Return to Sender" by Elvis, I swear to fucking god. Omg. This totally fucking makes an impact on the lyrics. Lana's done it again. :crying: :oprah:

 

I don't know if it really changes what I take from the song. I think any Elvis song would have the same effect.

I was thinking the same thing! I was thinking back on my reflection of the song, and was considering that maybe, she's alluding to another Elvis song from the '50s, or even an entirely different artist, and "Return to Sender," considering the lyrics and how it's a '60s song, maybe it'd represent the then-and-now factor of the relationship, things changed, the relationship was near its end. Or maybe, she felt more in Elvis' position; trying to salvage the relationship but there was nothing left at that point... :erm: I don't know. iamalittletoastedtbh :omfg:

 

Again?

 

 

Me too tbh

@ Sounds more like "sway" to me. But I am not an English native speaker (listener?).

 

I've just listened to this song a moment ago and the way she sings it is unbelievable :crying5:


And the wind I know it’s cold

So, updated lyrics?

 

Methamphetamines, pink flamingo.
Blue fifties queen. Blue oyster clove.
For the big dream why don't we go to Coney Island?
"No such person"*
 
One day among the ballad sung
The record spins blue fifties song
The veranda looks Ocean Grove
Neon palm sway.
 
What's happening? Where did we go?
The Jersey Shore was long ago
As with our hopes and ocean Grove
And so I bid you farewell.
 
*Elvis Presley, Return To Sender (1962)

I'd like to say it is Blue Oyster Cult because of that interview with the sect/cult shenanigans    sounds like gloaf??

i was playing this on piano for my friend, shes like "thats from romeo and juliet right?"

apparently lana took the melody from this; because the notes are exact

 

D F E A C etc

She samples Nino Rota and he's credited in the song.

okay okay, last post but since im obsessing with this song (and have been for weeks)

I honestly think it's simply

"Blue, oyster, clove"

 

terms for drugs(the song is called meth derp) but COMMAS because different name

 

-end-

 

From "Drug Slang Dictionary"

blue boy - Amphetamine
blue devils - Methamphetamine
blue ice - Methamphetamine

blue meth - Methamphetamine
blue mollies - Amphetamine

 

oyster stew - Cocaine

 

 

can't find anything on clove/glove though?
