13 Best Lyrics From Lorde's "Melodrama"
Rolling Stone

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)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
