13 Beaches

Recommended Posts

I don't belong in the world

That's what it is
Something separates me from other people
Everywhere I turn
There's something blocking my escape

 

 

It took thirteeen beaches

To find one empty
But finally it's mine
With dripping peaches

I'm camera-ready
Almost all the time

But I still get lonely
& baby, only then
Do I let myself recline
Can I let go

& let your memory dance
In the ballroom of my mind
Across that county line

It hurts to love

But I still love you
It's just the way I feel
& I'd be lying

If I kept hiding
The fact that I can't deal
& that I've been dying

For something real
That I've been dying

For something real

It took thirteen beaches

To find one empty
But finally, I'm fine
Past Ventura

& lenses plenty
In the white sunshine

But you still can find me
If you act nicely
Underneath the pines
With the daises

Feeling hazy
In the ballroom of mind
Across that county line
 

It hurts to love

But I still love you
It's just the way I feel
& I'd be lying

If I kept hiding
The fact that I can't deal
& that I've been dying

For something real
That I've been dying

For something real

 

It hurts to love

But I still love you
It's just the way I feel
And I'd be lying

If I kept hiding
The fact that I can't deal
The fact that I can't deal

'I don't belong in this world, that's what it is.
Something separates me from other people.
And what will I do?'
- (John Clifford quote)

It took 13 beaches
To find one empty
But finally it's mine
With dripping peaches

The opening monologue is:
 
"...That's what it is
Something separates me from other people 
And what will I do? 
There's something blocking my escape..."
 

It's derived from an old horror flick called Carnival of Souls (1962). David Lynch has cited it as one of his biggest inspirations. I just finished watching it- dope movie laden with a purgatorial theme.

 

1:14:10 -

 

 

The main character in the film is continuously haunted by a legion of ghouls- they won't leave her the fuck alone. It explores the metaphysical terrain of a nightmare and its main trope is paranoia which reminded me of what Lana said regarding the video for High By The Beach. The movie also ends on a beach which dovetails with Lana's narrative for 13 Beaches. I can't wait to hear this song in full! Love u Lana.

OMG I love this movie! I'm glad Lana officially will release this track and it gives me hope it'll actually feature "horror strings"

Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

The full monologue is

 

"They're everywhere, they're everywhere. They're not going to let me go. Everywhere I turn, there's something blocking my escape. It's trying to prevent me from living."

 

It makes so much sense and it really gets me excited for this track!

Is this all in the snippet? Like, is it fuzzy or distorted? (I havent listened yet :defeated: ) Whether it is or not, nice find sis :) We already knew this track was about running from the paparazzi (and Lana's obsession with beaches/peaches :icant: but thanks for adding context :D

Well it was @La Dolce Vita who Discovered it though :D

I don't think all of the monolgue is in the snippet, I justlooked it up again and quoted it here since I thought it just made so much sense for her to use this references in a song about desperately trying to escape paparazzis


Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!
