| Lorde – White Teeth Teens Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This is the group of "white teeth teens" talking. White teeth teens referring to perfect, beautiful teenagers, hence the perfectly stainless "glowing" white teeth. "We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day yeah I guess you're lucky that it's dark now And if I like it then we'll stay Impress the empress, take a shot now" - theyre talking to the persona (lorde) and telling her to impress them so she can be part of their goup. The next verse just shows how incredibly powerful and admired the white teeth teens are among their peers: "If you want we'll help tonight to split his SEAMS (not schemes)" -The white teeth teens are offering the persona assistance in impressing a boy. "Give the bruises out like gifts" -Bruises are not pleasant.... unless it's from a white teeth teen. "You'll get the picture of your dreams I won't be smiling but the notes from my admirers Fill my dashboard just the same" -these white teeth teens dont need to put in any effort to be admired. They don't even have to "smile" in pictures. "(And everything works out so good) (I wear the robe like no one could)" -Everything works out good for the white teeth teens. Their lives run perfect. They pull off clothes no one could. "I'll let you in on something big I am not a white teeth teen I tried to join but never did" -Lorde knows she isn't a white teeth teen, but she tried to be in the past. "The way they are, the way they seem is something else, it's in the blood" -Lorde looks at white teeth teens as special, how they seem so flawless and that it's just something one's born with. "Their molars blinking like the lights, in the underpass where we all sit And do nothing and love it" -Lorde sits in the metaphorical underpass. She's underneath with the rest of the not-white-teeth-teens, but she loves it. I guess she finds it more interesting. :) I love Lorde. A lot of her songs radiate the same idea, and take a stand for the kids who aren't so perfect. I guess she feels that she's one of us. Examples: She'll never be "royal" Her "boys" and "their skin in craters like the moon" "Not very pretty but we sure know how to run things" |
