Sneaky Oliver 22,183 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think some of her lyrics could be more refined with a very few words but I guess it’s her style to think of sentences separately. I always think of them like this: it could’ve been “ I freak out when you look at me” “ If you put your hands up to the sky, i would be your galaxy” these are the first examples that come to my mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Oliver 22,183 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Also what’s grammatically wrong with “this is MY dance floor” ? I’m so confused by this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so confused by this Alone it's grammatically correct. The problem is the line that comes after. This is my dance floor I fought for I'm not an expert/a native speaker but the second line can't stand on its own like that. It should either be This is my dance floor I fought for it or This is the dance floor I fought for But it's music and I feel like grammar shouldn't matter so I personally don't care tbh.

It’s like she’s saying if she had the ability to portray something so beautifully in a painting or in a sculpture as she can do it with a song, she would do it and it also fits with the sentiment of the song of even though she had the best of intentions, she still has “flaws”. “I’m not perfect yet but I’ll keep trying” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s so weird! So would it also incorrect to say “This is my new car I’ve just bought” or something? Those two lyrics are still on the same sentence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be: "This is my new car that I just bought." "This is my new car. I just bought it." "This is the new car that I just bought." Again not a native/expert so if anyone is good at grammar please correct me! I could be totally off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 160,265 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 17 hours ago, Greanskye said: It’s not though. A triple negative = a negative. So she’s saying she’s nothing when she means to say she IS something. Where's the triple negative? "I'm not nothing without a steady hand" The only negative is the word "not" which changes the meaning of the word "nothing" to it's antonym - something. Meaning she's saying she's something, even without a steady hand. Billionaires are a cancer. Even the ones you like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SknyBlond 7 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 20 hours ago, GGVS said: We can party like it's BC, with the pretty 16th century smile... That one... the first part is cool, because partying like its BC kinda makes sense, it could mean to party without restrictions, without thinking if something is good or bad, not worrying about religious concepts and all that... but the rest why would you make a reference to BC times and then one of AC times... I just don't get it. Don't know if i'll be wrong. But maybe by saying "16th century smile" she's talking about the fake smile that people give u when they're gossiping u know? Like Mona Lisa, a mystery smile that hides a lot. Something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
