The day is finally here - it's been years since "Pure Heroine" was released, and Lorde's sophomore album, "Melodrama," debuted just a few days ago. It is everything I expected and more - Lorde's uniqueness and emotions shine through in all 11 of the album's tracks. The lyrics to each song are absolutely incredible; each song tells its own story and makes you feel exactly what Lorde is feeling. Although each and every single lyric is great, below are a few of the ones that really stand out to me:
1.
"But we're the greatest
They'll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares - still the Louvre"
- The Louvre
2.
"The truth is I am a toy
That people enjoy
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore
And then they are bored of me"
- Liability
3.
"Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us
Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust
Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost
Well I guess I should go
Yeah I guess I should go"
- Hard Feelings / Loveless
4.
"When you've outgrown a lover
The whole world knows but you
It's time to let go of this endless summer afternoon"
- Hard Feelings / Loveless
5.
"I ride the subway, read the signs
I let the seasons change my mind
I love it here since I've stopped needing you"
- Writer In The Dark
6.
"I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops"
- Writer In The Dark
7.
"Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)
Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)
We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart"
- Supercut
8.
"I hate the headlines and the weather
I'm 19 and I'm on fire
But when we're dancing I'm alright"
- Perfect Places
9.
"I light all the candles
Cut flowers for all my rooms
I care for myself the way I used to care about you"
- Hard Feelings / Loveless
10.
"Three years, loved you every single day, made me weak, it was real for me, yup, real for me"
- Hard Feelings / Loveless
11.
"These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)"
- Sober
12.
"And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you
There's just a supercut"
- Supercut
13.
"We told you this was melodrama
You wanted something that we offered"
- Sober II (Melodrama)
