"i tried to starve myself thinner" - rawest, most honest female lyric ever?

[shyboi]

Quote

"i tried to starve myself thinner and then i gained all the weight back" 

 

is this the rawest, most honest female lyric ever? it just sounds so sincere, the way she talks (sings), like really from the depths of her psyche and it probably resonated with millions of people everywhere

If I told you that I was raped
Do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it?
I didn't ask for it
I won't testify, I already ****** up my story
 

[Kylizzle]

It's second place to:

I never ****** Wayne, I never ****** Drake

All my life man, ****'s sake

i dont feel like nothin special
i snag my tights out on the lawn chair
guess im a mess and play the role
used to live just for the party, door is open
me famous but not quite
but im perfect for the background
one foot in a normal life

"It's just a little white line, I'll be fine
But soon that little white line is a little glass pipe
Tin foil remedy almost got the best of me
I keep praying I don't reach the end of my lifetime"

[LovingDays]

From that song, I would choose "It's just self-defense until you're building a weapon"

Unsurprisingly, my all-time favorite female lyric is a similar line from Fiona Apple

"You maim when you're on offense, but you kill when you're on defense"

i asked the question for yall to agree or NOT

 

not to bring shitty lyrics that are far from honest and raw

I'd say her whole verse is one of the rawest ever

You'd always say, "Let´s go out"

But then I'd cancel last minute

I was so lost in my head
And scared to be in your pictures

'Cause for the last couple years
I've been at war with my body
I tried to starve myself thinner

And then I gained all the weight back
I was trapped in a hatred

And your life seemed so awesome

I never thought for a second

My voice was in your head

"Girl, you walk like a *****"

When I was ten someone said that
And it's just self-defense
Until you're building a weapon

She believed my projection
And now I totally get it

 

Rawest and relatable af

 

 

[Digitalism]

The thing about her whole verse is that it feels so sincere and personal.  It's one of those songs where it may not be something universal but it can still resonate because you can feel it is real.

I couldn't afford a pad to put on my ass
So I was using my face rag
Yo lets talk about the ******* hard life I had
I'm out here taking jabs yall out here doing the dab
I'm hoping one day in life my father would take the tab for once
Haven't saw this ***** in months
Cause he out here ******* 17 year old's in the butts
What the **** my ***** you so disgust

[Daddy]

Sure queen!

YES! It's not a coincidence this is the best song from 'brat' era

[Beyonnaise]

It's crazy how hopping on a synthy remix allowed Lorde to access her most honest writing in years. Suddenly all the silly stoner'd "we live in a society" lines from Solar Panel felt irrelevant because she was actually baring her soul in real time by responding to Charli. Fascinating song.

 

My hot take about Lorde is that she's an overthinker. My other favorite songs from her, Ribs and A World Alone, came from that crazy period when she was trying to get an album out after Royals became the biggest song in the world. When she takes years on an album, it doesn't always yield the best results.

The glass cutting lyrics in here

[shoganai]

I remember the bodyshaming she and her ex bf received during Pure Heroine and all the jokes about their goofiness, think about it now it was just cruelty towards two kids.

probably trolling but yall should like ….. idk listen to more music

[Kayseri Mantisi]

it's SOTY. & imagine if this is just a tease for L4's world.... like it will be rawdogging at this point not just raw 

[Cannon]

It's very honest. Lorde's verse in this song is one of the most important verses this entire decade.

[BlahBlahBlah]

You 👉 were red 🌹 and you liked ❤️ me 'cause I was blue 🥶🔷
But you 🥲 touched me 😮‍💨 and suddenly I was a lilac sky 🌄
And you decided 🤔 purple ✝️ just wasn't for you 😔

[yASSsss]

Yes, her whole verse is. I remember listening to it for the first time and getting teary eyed cause it was so raw and unexpected in a song like this. Best song of the year, tbh
