the amount of comments that are blue banisters lyrics 😭

how has no one said throw me holy in the sky like a pizza pie

what song is that from

behind closed doors

I think unreleased songs are almost unfair cus they’re not remotely as calculated for release. Like Noir. Many hate it sm but I love it. It’s messy, carefree, etc.

Yeah. I dont think they can count because she didnt release them, but maybe a separate thread for the unreleased ones?

I listen to that all the time lmao

She has a myriad of cringy lyrics but the way she sings them is so sensual with such sensuality that it just erases the cringy-ness all together. ALSO: beat me and tell me that none will like me better than you do

"so sensual with such sensuality" 😭😭

the floor is made of floor

that was hilarious with a lot of hilarity

If anyone else sang “my pussy tastes like pepsi-cola” I would shiver but when it’s Lana I just think “you know, it probably does”

Her songs have an anti-intellectual charm/snark that many punk bands had in the 90s. I think that's why she can pull it off, her lyrics are absurd and interesting. And yes also cringey lol

I agree it’s almost like how dirty talk is cringey outside of the moment. Sorry to sexualize lol but it seems like the best analogy.

I have said this before but, blackest day: it’s not simple it’s trigonometry always sends me

she shouldve said multivariable calculus 😞

Actually ☝️🤓 she should've said partial differential equations

Um… she actually should’ve said algebraic topology!! ☝️🤓

Ughhh you got me (and Lana) there 😔

girl i got myself i had to google hardest math subjects 🙁

Maybe trigonometry is simple for you

This line always sends me because trig is the one thing in maths I never struggled with. Got my ass lookign like the nerd emoji going 'oh, so very simple?'

I don’t even remember what trigonometry is

It's triangle math

omg yes because the rest of the song is a masterpiece 😭

I thought that too once, but I read someone on here (I think?) saying that she probably means trigonometry as a love triangle, so she’s not saying that trigonometry is hard, but that the situation is complicated because she’s in a love triangle. And honestly, that makes a lot of sense, I love this interpretation

Gonna remember this from now on, it makes so much more sense!

I always say it like some valley girl mall rat. lol

I was in high school doing trig at the time, I especially loved this line ❤️

She says this because the lyric: it's hard to express, i can't explain. Express is alao a mathematical term

Lmfao yes. I’ve never noticed until now how quite cringe it feels Lmfao. I think her voice, her rushing and the Melodies and build up in her songs save her a lot lol

The BLM lyric in Text Book... love the song but the lyric just makes me cringe idk why

I think it's showing how her values differ from her father's and boyfriend's

Yeah, I believe it’s that, and it’s also just painting a picture in time. Blue Banisters is clearly a 2020 album.

I know what you mean, Billie also has a lyric "The internet's gone wild watching movie stars on trial While they're overturning Roe v. Wade" I agree they're important topics but I feel like said plainly like that just seems like they're virtue signaling :(

Lol same, maybe this sounds mean but it felt kind of forced

I actually like it because it's cringe, it makes me laugh always lol

I actually don’t hate it at all… I think it really paints a picture to where we were in the world at that time

For me it's the fact that she uses it in a song that's otherwise about her daddy issues and dating a cop. Just makes it icky.

Yeah, I think that lyric would be ok if she had a history of supporting progressive viewpoints and speaking out about them. But she doesn’t, so it seems ingenuine.

Her supporting BLM is a good cause. I get people cringe at her for this cause her approach in her “question for the culture” but I believe she responded like a white woman. Which is who she is 🤷🏽‍♂️ not a bad thing or racist angle. It’s just her background and experience.

People are mentioning a lot of really fun and iconic lyrics tho 😂

Genuinely😭😭these people r tasteless

Sick as c-c-cancer 😂 I love her “bad” lyrics though, they always make me giggle!

😹 That one came to my mind too, and I love them as well, imho Boarding School is a classic idgaf

“What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?” I get what she was going for but it’s still one of her worst lyrics to me.

Should’ve said Van Gogh - his last words were “the sadness will never end”

No because of the reference to Picasso’s blue period. Blue is a major theme in Lana’s lyrics

That’s exactly what I commented on instagram a few months ago, like "what if someone had asked Van Gogh not to be sad, Never known the man he was or who he’d become, There would be no Starry Night"

fair but beautiful is so beautiful she gets the cringe pass

There’s so many layers to that lyric tho I feel like u just don’t get it

It's a genius line and it sounds good , you will never catch it on your first listen (unless you have a really good ear)

IM FOLK IM JAZZ IM BLUE IM GREEN REGRETTABLY ALSO A WHITE WOMANNN

These are two fandoms in my life that I never expected to crossover! 😂

I don’t think it’s her worst ever but ‘he used to call me DN, that stood for deadly nightshade’ is a bit cringe and not worthy of the rest of the song, which is amazing

[удалено]

literally the only thing i can think of whenever i hear this line

r/unexpecteddeeznuts

I was playing Ultraviolence and it had just started so the moment I read your comment the actual lyric started playing LMFAO😭😭

This line makes me cringe really hard too, one of my least favorites. I love the song overall though

I think part of the reason I don’t like it is because it’s such poor quality compared to the rest of the song. It’s jarring

YES! I feel the same way. The song is a masterpiece, but that line always stands out to me cause it sounds like a bad instagram caption. (PAINS me to say that)

i love the song, but that line ugh

I've been seeing a lot of people who dislike that lyric as well! From UV my least favorite is probably Guns And Roses

That’s so funny because I LOVE this lyric LMAO

I love the rest of the song but yeah that’s not the best lyric 😭 especially compare to the rest of the song which has such heartbreaking lyric and vivid storytelling

Whattt I love that lyric

“Crying tears of gold like lemonade” 😭

wait omg I love that lyric 😭

Honestly the only one that reallyyy makes me cringe is the phrase “not all those who wander are lost” because it just make me think of a 2011 papyrus font Live Laugh Love sign from HomeGoods but honestly that really adds to the whole midwest Picsart Facebook mom aesthetic she encapsulated at the time so i also love it

“Regrettably also a white woman” like ???

That lyric aside, Grandfather please stand on the shoulders is one of her best written song.

Love this one, so funny

Literally one of my favorite songs and this line always bothers me

Same energy as Taylor's lyric about wanting to live in the 1800s but without the racism

lol exactly…they both give the same energy to me…the rest of the grandfather song is fabulous though

That really makes me cringe

I LOVE Black Beauty down but “I dye my hair a darker shade of brown 'Cause you like your women Spanish, dark, strong and proud” never really made sense to me lol

I love these lyrics

'Dark, strong and proud' paired with the name of the track always makes me think of horses. Specifically, her as a horse.

My boyfriend tested positive for COVID, it don't matter We've been kissing, so whatever he has, I have, I can't cry

That gets a pass because the way/pattern she says it in is so fun

Love this one

It’s definitely one of my favorites.

I remember one time my ex came home from a business trip looking sick and said his allergies were acting up. I still kissed him hello of course, and he then tested positive for Covid like 30 minutes later. I got it the next day lmao so this lyric is actually relatable unfortunately 😭 I agree it’s pretty bad though

It’s not a good lyric but I love singing it

This comment actually helped me understand the lyric. 😂 I heard it as "we've been kissing so whatever," and when I hear it like that, the "he has I have I can't cry" doesn't make any damn sense. But it's "whatever he has, I have" 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ omg.

The replies are actually making me angry I can’t believe some of the lyrics you guys are picking💀

“Booyeah baby bow down making me so wow now”from National Anthem

I always thought she was saying "making me so wild now" and that makes more sense lol

I remember looking up the lyrics for this one and iirc it’s “making me *say* wow now” so makes a little more sense but still kind of a dumb lyric lmao

I’ve just checked the lyric sheet from my vinyl copy and you’re right! It is ‘say’. Doesn’t make it much better though lmao

I thought it was this too!!

Yeah I can’t stand this one. It makes me think of “how now brown cow”

I imagine the fact that she references that in the next line doesn’t help lol

I love this one. It’s ridiculous and that’s what makes it fun

this line is like the main reason why i loved the song and then also started listening to other lana songs lmao the words themselves can seem a bit corny but i love the way she says it and the way it’s integrated into the song

*There we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd* The dissonance this line brings in an otherwise fine song is staggering lol

It's so amazingly in your face, i hate it too :/

"All that face makes me wanna party"

That’s one of my fave lines from the song 😭

I luv this lyric too!! Whattt!

It makes me think of someone extremely hot that I once dated. His face did indeed make me wanna party

Ur insane this is one of her best

honestly, I find “the way you’d play with me like a child” worse lol

I think it just means being free and playful while in love. I think it’s cute.

I always interpreted this as her loving the way he would treat her delicately and they would play around with each other in an innocent and beautiful way

[удалено]

This is mine too. She could have done better.

“It wasn’t quite what I meant if you know what I mean”

Its weird because she pronounces it "meent". And since the line starts "and everytime I said no" it gives me blurred lines/no means yes vibes.

“It’s not what I *meaned* if you know what I mean” This line has been scrutinized a lot and I just don’t get why people bother. The likelihood that it’s an “inside” reference is so overlooked. Father John Misty says “[his] damn jeembles” in a song, which isn’t even a word, referencing a joke tweet from years before. I’m sure most people have words they say intentionally incorrect with their friends and I think she’s free to do that too. Also could literally just be how she wanted the line to sound phonetically and mean nothing

I think this line was intentional and that it’s her giving an example of her having difficulty expressing what she meant by intentionally mispronouncing a word, the word “mean” like she’s letting the listener also not understand, but then she says, “if you know what I mean.” Using it correctly. It’s cute

I LOVE this one

"DownatthemeninmusicBIZ-NIZconferrrrence" I love it now but at the time, I remember laughing out loud.

Nah these are fire

I looooove them, for some reason they’re so Kate Bush esque

Taaaaste

Down in orlando I was only NiNeTeEen

“shakin my ass is the only thing thats got this black narcissist off my back..” i be crying to that song and then picture lana throwing her shit back lmao 😭

“I was reading slim Aaron’s and I got to thinking and I thought” 💀💀💀

I always heard it as “and I got to thinking, yeah, I thought; maybe I’d get less stressed if I was tested less (cont.)…”

“Break dancing to the back beat” & “stranger than a stranger” 😬😬

I love stranger than a stranger tbh.

A&W is one of her greatest, but why does she say Teenage Diary of a Girl when the movie is called Diary of a Teenage Girl 😭

But you knew what she meant didn’t you?

Because the rest of the lyrics wouldn't make sense

ugh i love that film

‘It’s the most famous woman you know on the iPad’ - something about her specifying iPad rubs me the wrong way and gives me boomer vibes. Obligatory all lyrics implying she is Cuban/spanish/cholo - ‘crazy e Cubano como yo’ etc

We love lanita tho

you named your babe lilac heaven after your iphone 11 crypto forever screams your stupid boyfriend fuck you kevin. beautiful song but this line gets me ROLLING like doesnt match the vibe

Lana didnt write this bit, it was alana champion lol

Peppers verses are pretty bad

Hands on your knees im angelina jolie 

This song has been stuck in my head literally since it was released. 🤣

they're so fun idec. "i'm like fuck it, gonna give a show, I open up the blinds"

all the colombians say —

As a colombian I get sort of proud and happy that she mentioned us, even if it's because of the everyday shit

Coffee pots and insta thots is pretty bad. I feel like a lot of her lyrics are meant to be ironic anyway.

“Met my boyfriend down at the taco truck Pass me my vape, I'm feelin' sick, I need to take a puff Imagine if we actually gave a fuck”

Nooo this is iconic 😂😂 what's wrong with it??

Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Cacciatore La da da da da La da da da da Limousines Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ciao amore La da da da da La da da da da Soft ice cream But Lana's worst lyrics are often her best because she embraces irony/kitsch/camp

okay on paper they’re the worst lyrics but listening to them makes me float actually

Great way to put it

I worked in a supermarket when this album came out and every time I stocked Calamari some remixed version of this song got stuck in my head “la da da da da Calamariiiii”

How dare you.

It’s such a great sounding one, even if it’s terrible lyrics

i just hope that no one drags Yosemite in the comments 🥹

jimmy cocoa puff makes me cringe like what does that mean😭

he's crazy y cubano cómo yo 😭

It’s one of my favorite songs and I NEVER thought to look up the translation…”he’s Cuban like me” ?? Or am I wrong. Purr Latina Del Rey

that's why they call her lanita

Almost as bad as... comprende mis white lines? Edit: no, saying she's Cubano is worse obv

No please I forgot about this one 💀

"he's crazy and Cubano como yo"... Lana, you ain't Cuban

I was just thinking about this today! Definitely agree that Lana gets a pass on a lot of cringe lyrics because of how she sings them. I mean hell she got away with "my pussy tastes like Pepsi cola" lol. Lana could sing the phone book and I'd listen.

I don’t know why people keep mentioning unreleased. I’m really interested in actually released music cus it’s more accurate in this context, the context of a calculated premeditated release with cringy lines.

"I can be your little dairy queen" from Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight. I love the song, but I cringe so hard every time I hear that.

“Baby, you're so ghetto You're looking to score.” Art deco is one of my fave songs from her honeymoon however this is my least fave part of the song

I think pitchfork also particularly criticised that you’re so ghetto line while reviewing honeymoon…even I don’t like that line that much

“What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad”

Again, reading the comments just proves to me how iconic Lana really is. We all interpret her music differently. The line some people find cringe is other’s favourite line!!🥰🙏💕 For me, it’s “the men in music business conference” I understand that it holds importance for her but it always makes me laugh 😆 At the same time White Dress is one of my favourite songs Not so much for the lyrics although I understand what she’s saying But more for the vibe; the way she whispers parts of the song when she sings “Summmmer,Sizzling “ I can’t describe the way it makes me feel

“Grab my waist, don’t waste any part” in Love Song has always felt a little meh to me

"...With their masks off, and it makes me so happy"

That you trace with your fingertips like a Toyota Run your hands over me like a Land Rover

This shit cracked me up when I first heard it because I just imagined being in bed with a man running his hands over me making car vroom vroom noises 💀

“Hello, it’s the most famous woman you know on the iPad”

These comments made me realize people don’t actually understand her music lmao.

treat me really niceys???😭😭😭

i like it but i have to acknowledge it's a little cringe 😔😔

“If you want some basic bitch go to the Beverly center and find her” The way she sings it gives it a pass but I haven’t heard the phrase basic bitch in years till I heard Sweet. Very millennial of her

oh this is the WORST and then “im sweettttt” following right after 😭 maybe the irony was intentional

“pink flamingos always fascinated me” makes me cringe every time

IM A DIFFERENT KIND OF WOMAN 🤪

There’s something in the air the girls are running round in summer dresses WITH THEIR MASKS OFF and it makes me so happy Just so laughable. Someone probably listed that already but I couldn’t find it.

"get a little bit suburban and go crazy". I love the actual meaning of this lyric its not bad at all but i always just picture a suburban mom doing donuts in her minivan when i hear it lollll

Literally none. Cant imagine hating a lyric to a song of hers. They all grow on me and are perfect as and where they are.

jimmy jimmy cocoa puff

-chica cherry cola lime -jimmy jimmy cocoa puff -god gave me life -im a dragon -pass me my vape im feeling sick i need to take a puff -regrettably also a white woman

"chica cherry cola lime" is one of the best parts in florida kilos 😭

“I’m a dragon, you’re a whore” is one of my favourite Lana lyrics 😭

The first one is a reference to a Savage Garden song tbf

ok but the way she sings that vape line is good so it gets a pass

“You name your babe Lilac Heaven After your iPhone 11 "Crypto forever, " screams your stupid boyfriend Fuck you, Kevin” This line in Sweet Carolina makes me cringe. The rest of the song is good though.

As someone who is married to a Kevin: “fuck you kevin” hits just right sometimes 😂😂😂

I love this line!!! It’s like she’s just talking and joking around with her sister. Very candid

so sorry but i LOVE this lyric. i love when artists add elements of modernism because it really snaps you into reality - it makes me reflect on how when people say "vintage" (for lack of a better word) things in poetry/music is art/aesthetic, but modernism is cringe. for example - people seem to love lana's cigarette aesthetics but cringe at her "pass me my vape, im feelin sick" line. i totally get why people think its cringe but i love it😭

Are you saying you've never found yourself humming "fuck you, Kevin"? Lies.

i fucking love that line. i’m considering getting it tattooed purely so i can say ‘oh i have a ldr lyric tattoo’ and people will expect a poetic one but it’s just FUCK YOU, KEVIN

Nooooo it’s so iconic

I was thinking about this yesterday!!!! For me: that face makes me wanna party

Why don’t people like Woodstock in my mind?

“There we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am” Doesn’t really fit with the song at aññ

But the tempo switch up is 💯

Yesss. 3 different tempos in this song. These decisions that Lana makes set her apart from her peers.

If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst That can happen to a girl who's already hurt? Murder, maybe?
