| Lorde – Buzzcut Season Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think the song is about war, but not limited to it. I feel like Lorde is calling out those situations when you're on the couch or in this case "[living] beside the pool, where everything is good" and we hear about something bad that has happened somewhere else in the world. For example, the tsunami that hit Japan or even the war between Israel and Gaza. We hear the news, feel bad and pray for those who have suffered for maybe 2 or 3 days, and then poof, we go back to our normal routine, hence why "The men up on the news, they try to tell us all that we will lose But it's so easy in this blue, where everything is good." It's so easy for us to move on so quickly because we don't wake up everyday looking at "all that we have lost" because news is news, until it's old news. Also I think Lorde is talking about war, or a friend who has gone to war, because he/she died because of the war and "will never come home again" and the only way Lorde can remember him/her is through a "hologram" or the way I see it, her memory, "Play along (make-believe it's hyper real) But I live in a hologram with you." Also buzzcut is usually associated with armies with would connect back to a war. |
