If this had been in UV almost everyone wouldn't have liked it, like, it's too repetitive

This song is much better than the snippet led me to believe, to be honest.

[LAman 3,223]

I feel like this song could of replaced Old Money. I like Fine China better tbh

"I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they. They said the love was enough, but it wasn't. The earth shattered, the sky opened, the rain was fire but we were wooden"

Lyrical masterpiece

[Tristesse 1,765]

Can somebody explain this song to me ? My english is enough to literaly understand but way too poor to get what she means, it feels like it's all nonsense.... Life is hard

[reputation 6,321]

OK wait if she's talking about a guy & she's there for the birth of his baby does that shes giving birth or she's the other woman? That lyric confuses me

"One life begins one comes undone

I've always been a strong woman of faith

Strong like a tree but the unlucky one"

 

Absolute queen of lyrical complexity 

 

these are honestly the best lyrics I've ever seen omg

I took that more to mean that she's celebrating with a close friend either at a baby shower or after said friend gave birth and the dude left her that same day. Like.. the song does focus on a dude quite a bit but it seems to be more of a general reflection on her life than anything else.

That's a good theory. I was also thinking its about bittersweet life of being w/ a man. She expresses how for every good thing there's a bad thing, how she's going down with fine China, for its so fragile but affluent, having good clothing but stealing them, how for every birth there's a death etc. As you stated, it does seem like a song about the t

relfection of life.

This would match the overall Ultraviolence theme. Love this theory

"When I hear something like this, though, I tend to file it away, and keep my ears open. Sure enough, in early November of this year, I was doing a workshop as part of a new public folklore program being developed on the Baccalieu Trail. Much to my delight, Linda Kane of Cupids had heard of the old belief as well. She, too, had heard that a pregnant woman seeing a white horse would mean trouble in childbirth.

 

“White horses are often thought to be harbingers of ill fortune,” writes David Pickering in the Cassell Dictionary of Superstitions. In fact, white horses seem to crop up a lot in folklore. In Lincolnshire, England, it was believed that if you saw a white dog, you should stay silent until you saw a white horse. In other places, dreaming of a white horse meant a coming death, and in the New Testament, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rides astride a white horse."

If you listen to fine China then listen to is this happiness, they both sound the same and it seems like it's sharing the same story
