Ellie Goulding 8 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have hated American since the first time I heard the snippet And if she hates America so much, why'd she write a song about it :nails: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterOfSpain 8,281 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't understand at all the lyrics of the bridge of "American". I think she doesn't even know exactly what she is saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorous 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Everybody wants to go fast But they can't compare (To you) I don't really want the rest (Of the people) Only you can take me there (To a happy/free place) I don't even know what I'm saying, (Cause we're not toguether anymore) But I'm praying for you. (Even though we are apart, I still care) What's the meaning? In my interpretation, she means everyone wants to be free/happy but the guy she likes has that without even trying. He makes her fell that way too, but they are not toguether anymore, so she feels like there's no point in talking about it ("I don't even know what I'm saying"). But she still prays for him even though they're not toguether. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpinkenergy 1,005 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think that Lana's lover died and she still loves him today, which is what most of her songs about. It's probably more obvious in Kill Kill, Dark Paradise and even Burning Desire and Body Electric. When she sings about not being able to be together, I kind of assume it's about the same person.

Body Electric is my favorite Lana song of all time, and yet I'm still not sure of a meaning behind the song. I have about five million speculations on what it's about though. But I'm almost positive one of her boyfriends died, inspiring many songs on BTD. delete it fat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'We don't need nobody, 'cos we got each other, or at least I pretend' It makes me think that she's clinging on to what used to be. 'I go about the world like I'm having fun' There are similarities with Burning Desire too, which is why it makes me think Burning Desire is about trying to keep the memory alive. 'I have to touch myself to pretend you're there' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
