She says more in this song at age 16 than Lana does at 30 (not sure how old she really is -- she lied about everything else).
I actually agree, but...
Quote:
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Royals is about living in a fantasy of being rich and famous while still going through your everyday life KNOWING you have little to no chance of becoming famous. It's perfect for the Tumblr generation, we thrive on this sort of excitement that we can become famous at any given moment when most of us have a 1% chance.
Yet, ironically, the song has a 8 million views. So much for not being famous.
That's taking the record at face value. She's definitely saying something ELSE, hence the line, "That kind of love just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz." Not exactly praise for
"that fantasy." That's why the "Queen B" mention is a bit of an eyebrow raiser, for me.
