| Lorde – Royals Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I agree with you, its her way of saying all we see and hear around us is people who want to have all these riches and the fame but sadly they'll never have it cause they won't put in the work to get there. So instead of fantasising about it either you start putting in the work or shut up and live with the fact that you're just an average Joe. | |
| Lana Del Rey – Summertime Sadness Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is about missing a truly great love who passed away unexpectedly. These feelings are even more prominent in the summer cause that's when he died. Its also about her trying to kill herself cause she can't live with that sadness. So she puts on her red dress, does up her hair (looking her best for their reunion) and is driving hard (I'm guessing that's how he went out too). Where she says "got my bad baby by my heavenly side" she's imagining him beside her staring at her, almost like he's waiting for her "blissful" death to be with him (my sis says she thinks she's stoned lol) My take on it: its a beautiful song about painful nostalgia and suicide. |

| The XX – Intro Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
When artistes use intros, interludes and outros in their songs its normally to set the mood or get the right atmosphere for the tracks to come, or in the case of the outro to end the album in a specific atmosphere. This xx, as I'm sure you'd all agree, are very poetic and particular in their songwriting, the arrangement of the tracks on their albums and also where this intro is concerned. It was placed on the album for a reason and we may give our opinions on why but The xx know why they put it on. Try listening the album without this intro and I'm sure you'd feel the difference in how you empathise with the following tracks. The same is true if you'd heard the album the first time without it. Well all I'm saying is not to dismiss these pieces so quickly as the artistes put a lot of work into arranging them on the album to please you, their fans. That's my take on it: it's there to set the mood or get the right atmosphere that The xx wanted for us to fully appreciate their work. |
