EGOT2027 10,807 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Could someone please explain these lyrics to me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanPianoMusic 730 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It has certainly gotten me curious to see what this song is going to sound like! These are a bit odd You will never please everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMiles 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 After reading these lyrics over again and what people here are saying, I LOVE THEM! Its like saying she doesn't give a f**k about the critics comparing her to Madonna, Bowie, etc. Those are her influences, people she likes to "read." Their "theory" is that she is unoriginal but she is embracing the nostalgia or past works of others. She kinda channels them into her own work. She doesn't care about the critics, she wants OUR applause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottbuch 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 nostalgia: A sentimental longing for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. this is her response to being dragged by critics for drawing inspiration from past greats in her sound. the lyrics are an a--logy; she's saying well, if nostalgia is for geeks, then i like to read.

ThomastheMonster 288 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Wow, I agree with whoever said that these lyrics are very tounge in cheek, ironic, and poking fun at herself and it being about her refrencing artists of the past. I think she wanted to be kind of shady without being immature so it seems really subtle. I imagine that that is the birdge and the gong and the critic part is the verses. The I.V part is probably the intro and I imagine it to be in the same layout as Aura, and the same speak/sing/ in the verses like Aura. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 she's saying well, if nostalgia is for geeks, then i like to read. YES! This is perfect, I was struggling to tie in the "some of us like to read" bit but the way you've explained it is wonderful! I agree :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
