Aga Gydal 3,158 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I feel like the verses in Enigma sound like a word salad for things that sound mysterious or cryptic. “Mystery man / woman phantom / Dragon’s eyes watch / goddess breathing” feel kinda incongruent to me. It’s one of the few songs that doesn’t really come alive until the chorus. The verses in Plastic Doll veer into Katy Perry territory of sounding a bit too on the nose, but the whole song is ridiculous so I accept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't catch Katy or Ariana singing mysterious lyrics like that, word salad or not. Like. I'd definitely take those lyrics over Plastic Doll tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Could be that too... interesting FIND YOUR FREEDOM IN THE MUSIC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, ever heard of the Blood Moon? It’s a thing. It’s also a play-on-words, she likes to name drop her producers on tracks.
