She's kinda saying she's something aslong as she doesn't believe in herself  Yes thank you, that's it, or "If I know I can, then I am nothing" Now please, native speakers of American dialects, enlighten us with your grammar wizardry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agagkills 187 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 “ When I was young, I felt immortal“ I think is the way he sings it . He’s trying to sound young and I just can’t stand Elton Period  thanks to him that song is my skip of the album  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELECTROHEART 6,428 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 "Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out" "I walk the downtown, hear my sound" two times in the same verse, instead of "watch, watch me now, electric, devotion" like in the demo, choices "I'm I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I p-plastic P-plastic do-o-o-o-oll P-plastic, technologic" and the "no, no, no" in the chorus sounds so cringey to me And I love Babylon but when I heard the "With a pretty sixteenth century smile"  I was like WTF , but then I realized that she's referring to Mona Lisa "Every night, a million hearts are breaking, but at least I know tonight I'm not the only one" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Monster 794 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I always thought the lyrics in Babylon were "pretty 16s and cherry smile" Thanks guys for letting me know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2School4Cool 5,348 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 12 hours ago, Why am I on GGD said: I also always get confused in 1000 Doves "I've been flying with some broken arms" I always expect her to sing something like "with a broken heart", but "arms" just seems to come out of nowhere This has actually always been one of my favorite lyrics! She’s asking for someone to help lift her up, to help her fly again. You can’t fly with broken arms/ broken wings. She’s trying to fly but she can’t because her arms are broken. Flying with broken arms is her metaphor for living with pain, or trying to thrive although she’s suffering.

2School4Cool 5,348 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I’m reading through this thread and confirming that I don’t think that album has any bad lyrics. This album is her best yet in terms of lyrics, and that’s saying something because she’s always had amazing lyrics. See The Best In Everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works really well. But that’s just me! See The Best In Everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zino 173 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 there some random phrases that I find very uninspired and too "obvious"? like: "my name isn't alice..." "i'm not your plastic doll" "I'm still something if I don't got a man" "i'd rather be dry, at least i'm alive" "my biggest enemy is me" "you're the worst thing and the best thing that's happened to me" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Boy 37,088 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 13 hours ago, HEARTSTOP said: Also, "I'm not nothing unless I know I can" sounds like a filler rhyme more than anything. It paints the picture but doesn't actually make any sense lol.  13 hours ago, Sepsami said: This one had me going like But I thought maybe it was because English isn't my mother tongue I made a post in the Chromatica Discussion thread asking people what that lyric meant because it didn't make sense to me.  "dont trust this crooked manipulative rat!" - @NichuuB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
