| Lorde – Buzzcut Season Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
"I remember when your head caught flame It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain Well you laughed, baby it's okay It's buzz cut season anyway" I recently had a thought about this line after listening countless times that I really like. The head, the focal point of thought, is shielded by but one thing: our hair. Physically it acts as a shield between our brains (thoughts) and the outside world. I think Lorde is trying to describe a pivotal moment in a relationship where that barrier is removed, leaving a buzzed head. A peak into the truest sense of another. She remembers when this happened, the pivotal moment that came in a split second, leaving both parties surprised like a sudden strike of wisdom or a spark of intense connection. She describes a laugh, which could be one of slight embarrassment for expression with no inhibition, and follows it by the reassuring line "it's ok", like she was waiting for it. The "Buzzcut Season" itself is a time to cut the shit; a time to tare down the walls and speak directly from the brain. No hair, just scalp. |
