Quarantine promps me for unexpected music analyzes

THE LOUVRE by Lorde / CRUEL SUMMER by Taylor Swift

What Lorde said about song?

“I wanted to [give the feeling of] just like the big sun-soaked dumbness of falling in love and it’s like your whole head is like glue, it’s amazing. It is like drugs. It’s like ‘I just want to be by you all the time, I just want to listen to you talk and look at your face do all those dumb things that it does when you talk. It’s just like this big dumb joy and it’s intense – and I feel like the instrumentation in that song kind of helped it get there.”

“When i wrote it, there is an element when i look at myself like i do fall so hard at the beggining and leading to that knowledge people are not black or white, there is more complicated [situation]. You can love someone and they sitting letting you down, like there is element of self harsh”

Her usual speech before “The Louvre”:

“This song is about crush. The really early stages of having crush on someone. You like them and they like you, it makes you feel crazy sometimes. You texting them and it takes way too long to text you back, you like AAAAAAAA [cringed, then laughing] i don’t even done that, i don’t know, i’m cool”

“This is a song about crush, a summer crush, like kind of a crush when you follow each other around all summer and you don’t know where its gonna go, but you know its something”

What Taylor said about song?

“This song is one that I wrote about the feeling of a summer romance, and how often times a summer romance can be layered with all these feelings of, like, pining away and sometimes even secrecy. It deals with the idea of being in a relationship where there’s some element of desperation and pain in it, where you’re yearning for something that you don’t quite have yet, it’s just right there, and you just, like, can’t reach it. So, this has some of my favorite lyrics on it, and it was so fun to write this. “

“ I wanted this song to feel like a desperate summer love that might be doomed from the start. My favourite line from this song is, “I love you. Ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?””

THE LOUVRE’s lyrics without chorus BOOM BOOM BOOM:

Verse 1 “Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue

Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession” - Lorde and her new lover obsessed with each other

Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor

Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard

Verse 2 “I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush

Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough” - addicted psycho lol

I overthink your punctuation use

Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do

Pre-chorus “A rush at the beginning” - their relationship seems to be fast growing

I get caught up, just for a minute

But lover, you're the one to blame

“All that you’re doing”- her new lover such a charmer

Can you hear the violence?

Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom

And make 'em all dance to it

Verse 3 “Our thing progresses, I call and you come through

Blow all my friendships, to sit in hell with you” - idk whats the problems her lover have, Lorde just accept situation and trying to support them / maybe she means social isolation from friends

“But we’re the greatest, they’ll hang us in the Louvre” - intresting phrase cause somebody interpretated it like their relationship so good that they will hang at museum, but for me its more about reputation(?), about social position, their place in society

“Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre” - imo its about secrecy, nobody will see them, but thats probably what they want

Okay I know that you are not my type

(still I fall)

I’m just the sucker who let you fill her mind

(but what about love?)

Nothing wrong with it

Supernatural

Just move in close to me, closer, you’ll feel it coasting

CRUEL SUMMER lyrics:

Verse 1 “Fever dream high in the quiet of the night

You know that I caught it” (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it) - typical taylor head over heels for somebody

Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it) - strange lines for me, sounds like she just bought man for media games

Pre-Chorus “Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below”

“Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes” - another day, another lover, same old taylor and her repeated actions, who knows where the life goes

“What doesn't kill me makes me want you more” - gambling taylor wakes up

Chorus “And it's new, the shape of your body” - they just have started f’cking

“It's blue, the feeling I've got” - shes sad cause promblems showed up on all sides and this “relationship” is started at the wrong time ( fight with kim&kanye, dating someone else, #taylorswiftisoverparty)

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

“No rules in breakable heaven” - theyre not in commited relationship, pals in action

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

Verse 2 “Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine” - again. secrecy.

“I'm not dying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)” - she still wants them to contiune

“We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times” - maybe the line about their lame trying being secretive, maybe about relationship itself

We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Pre-Chorus 2 “So cut the headlights, summer's a knife” - she provucing to end relationship, if it ends than chasing(attention) will stops

“I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone” - she dont trust them

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

“And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know” - she dont want them to see her weakness, if in the end of the story she’ll be hurt, she too proud to be exposed like that

Bridge “I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)

Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh) - tay really wants them to be in more serious phase then theyre rn

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

He looks up, grinning like a devil

In conclusion, 2016 was hard year for both of them. Glad its all in the past right now. Our industry friends lived similar moments, what a mental connection hahahaha

Thank you for giving attention to that shitty post 🌚💚
