| Lorde – Green Light Lyrics | 5 years ago |

@[philossoffe:33726] Totally agree with this. "Green Light" is a song that explores the trials and tribulations of the proverbial "other woman" in an affair. The nature of the man's relationship is never specified, though I think the song has the most punch when it is interpreted to be a marriage. Either way, it's clear that his relationship is a long-term, well-known cohabitation situation that has a significance comparable to a marriage. Throughout the song, the singer expresses intense inner conflict, ranging from disgust and anger with him at times to ecstatic excitement and hope for what could be.at other times. This song encourages a little "sympathy for devil" for a typically vilified figure. I see it as being in the same genre as The Scarlet Letter. Lorde is young but precocious. Her intelligence and maturity, particularly for her age, are apparent throughout her music, and not by accident. With an album titled "Pure Heroine" at 17, a song of this gravity is par for the course at 21. Think of what she will produce over the next decade. Such talent! |
