Pure Heroine brings me back to when I was 14, when life wasn’t as complicated and stressful as it is now. I woke up every morning excited to see my friends at school, I listened to Pure Heroine every morning when I walked to school, life was good ☺️
This entire album is so nostalgic and bittersweet. I was 16 when it came out (same age Lorde was) and nothing else has ever come close to capturing the feeling of high school and all its many and conflicting emotions. Such a masterpiece.
Every time I hear this song, It takes me back to the wildest summer I ever had back when I was 17. I was out nearly every night hanging out with my friends going places I wasn’t supposed to and doing things I wasn’t supposed to... when I think of this summer it’s bittersweet because although I had fun, I got myself hurt several times. When I think of this summer, I remember one of my good friends and how we all hung out and everything was so innocent.... He’s gone now. Kids, don’t do drugs because your friends want to... He fried his brain on acid and shot himself. He was so bright and smart but then he fell down the hole of drugs and depression. Listen to your friends. Be there for them.
i’m so sorry...i know how you feel. a year ago my best friend passed from a car accident so unexpectedly. she was on her way home from our field hockey game. keep in mind that she was in a small sedan, stopped completely, doing nothing wrong. she was about to turn to go home, and boom she hit on her drivers side by a truck full of high teenage boys at 70 mph. none of us have been the same without here, none of us can drive without having the constant fear and anxiety of getting hit. her family is so shaken up, especially her father. he was driving in front of her and when he realized she wasn’t driving behind him anymore, he turned around to go back and check and he found her car flipped and demolished in the woods. ALL because a stupid boy and his stupid friends thought it would be a “good time” to get high and drive at 70 on a back road. she was innocent, unsuspecting, and she was the most beautiful person i’ve ever met. she was talented, smart, kind, hilarious, and she always had your back no matter what happened. she was really the only person who was true to me throughout the 4 years of high school and now she’s gone. now we all have to endure the horrible pain and sadness of seeing her empty seat in class, not hearing her sweet laugh, not seeing her glowing smile, and worst of all watching her casket being lowered into the ground. next time you want to get high or drunk, please don’t drive. you will hurt someone, you will kill someone, you will hurt yourself and you will kill yourself. that’s what you should keep in mind when you’re drinking or smoking. “i will kill or hurt myself or someone else if i get in this car and decide to drive right now.” think about it, you don’t want to be the reason someone has to lose someone they love or be the person that people miss. people love you, they love their friends and family too, don’t take it away from them. be smart❤️
I became a fan of lorde because of the meaning of this song, i was 17 in the last year of secondary school having the best time of my life, partying all the time and being happy with my friends, but at the same time being so scared of growing up. I used to cry listening to this song. Now are memories 🌙
The only song that brought me on the verge of crying. I always listened to this song on the way back home after nights out during the summer after my high school senior year.
this makes me feel like someone drunk crying in the girl’s bathroom at a party and though i’m surrounded by complete strangers also drunk, i’m being comforted by every girl in the bathroom. some of them are even hyping me up and though i don’t know if i’ll ever meet these girls again i live in the moment knowing that there is comfort and solidarity to be found.
This song is from Pure Heroine but this video is everything Melodrama is about. It's about the moment of transcendence from the party, the moment you question your belongingness to inebriated bodies jolting together in ecstatic beats. It's about confronting your loneliness and facing the trauma, mustering the bravery to this time not cover up but dance with the pain by yourself, embracing the vulnerability but retaining your loyalty to yourself and your growth. Melodrama truly is a guide to lost adolescent souls. 💜💙
The drink you spilt all over me 'Lover's Spit' left on repeat My mom and dad let me stay home It drives you crazy, getting old We can talk it so good We can make it so divine We can talk it good How you wish it would be all the time The drink you spilt all over me 'Lover's Spit' left on repeat My mom and dad let me stay home It drives you crazy, getting old The drink you spilt all over me 'Lover's Spit' left on repeat My mom and dad let me stay home It drives you crazy, getting old This dream isn't feeling sweet We're reeling through the midnight streets And I've never felt more alone It feels so scary, getting old We can talk it so good We can make it so divine We can talk it good How you wish it would be all the time This dream isn't feeling sweet We're reeling through the midnight streets And I've never felt more alone It feels so scary, getting old This dream isn't feeling sweet We're reeling through the midnight streets And I've never felt more alone It feels so scary, getting old I want 'em back (I want 'em back) The minds we had (the minds we had) How all the thoughts (how all the thoughts) Moved 'round our heads (moved 'round our heads) I want 'em back (I want 'em back) The minds we had (the minds we had) It's not enough to feel the lack I want 'em back, I want 'em back, I want 'em You're the only friend I need Sharing beds like little kids Laughing 'til our ribs get tough But that will never be enough You're the only friend I need Sharing beds like little kids Laughing 'til our ribs get tough But that will never be enough
I will forever love this song, I started to listen to Lorde when her album Pure Heroine came out. I was 7-8 I used to love replaying her songs. I wished people listened to Lorde her music is everything to me.
This song is such a wild ride. Shit really never feels the same way it did in the moment. This song is one of the things that taught me that and I’m forever grateful. Sometimes u feel so strange in a moment because ur never gonna get to live through it again but in doing that u don’t feel the moment as much as u could. Lately I’ve been trying to live in moments more but that shits hard. I don’t wanna get older and to be honest when I was younger it didn’t feel like it was gonna happen. I was always tripping on the urge to remember the moment and thinking it was the last moment I had to remember. Then later on I realised that even if I don’t get that moment again, it doesn’t mean it’s the end of this wild story of forever creating myself throughout time. Moments flash through my head during this song, consisting of my friends and I taking photos in their backyard on skateboards even tho we can’t ride and just living in the moments but somehow capturing that. So long story short, this song makes me feel feelings
I listened to this song every fucking day during the summer of 2014 when I was 18. This was the soundtrack to my wild and melancholic summer. I had just come out as gay, was meeting new people, started a new job. I was just discovering who I was. Leaving my past and the difficulty of coming out to my family is what made it so bittersweet. This album was basically my identity during that time lol.
i have friends who survived parkland, some of whom lost their own friends and siblings. i can’t hear this song without being brought back to that day. “my mom and dad let me stay home.” “i want ‘em back, the minds we had.” “it feels so scary getting old.” this song is a masterpiece.
I just came drunk home and I'm honestly feel soo happy for time in ages ❤️ I came out to everyone at party, live life and enjoy those beautiful moments, I love you
This song makes me feel that. My teenage life is passing and I’m scared. I’m so nostalgic now, is 6 am, I’m going this year to collage and idk what to do, I’m sad I’m nostalgic, since is was 14 I always feel that feeling, the nostalgic, for things that I always wanted, get far from here, an exchange, a cool school, parties with friends, spending the night in the car with friends and listening to some music while we eat McDonald’s. But I didn’t have that. And this song is my youth
I’m currently 17, and junior in high school during this whole stupid Corona thing. I’ve been listening to this song every day, just crying. My parents are pressuring me about making sure to sign up for scholarships. I’m ruining all my friendships. And now there’s a threat that marching band might not happen during my senior year which has been my favorite part of high school and I’m just so scared.
it feels like im there alone in the bathroom, feeling wasted, and decided to light up a cigarette. close my eyes while listening to the song and smoking slowly.
It reminds me of a time of confusion. A time of wonder, leaps of faith, and heartbreak. A time when I knew myself. Now everything just sucks. Now my life is filled with responsibilities and fear and failure.
how it feels to be at the bar alone looking for any kind of romantic interaction while deep down knowing ur on a dark road of patching self hate and drinking
jokes on u. i don’t get invited to parties
Same
I was like that for a long time. Then I was, and it really was just disappointing
Same!
crash some
re same tbh 😂
Sadly they'd never play this at a party
Society doesn’t know taste when they see it!
If I had a party I’d play lorde non stop she’s one of my favorite artists
TELL ME WHYYYY I was literally think that.
rose quartz bubblegum exactly y’all come to my house I’ll be playing this all day and team
Party w the right ppl then they’ll play this :)
this is so unrealistic, if ribs started playing at a party I would storm out of the bathroom and cry-dance
Dance like Joker?
No, i would cry-dance in the bathroom for the first half, then bust out of there and cry-dance where everyone could see.
@@Ivanna587msp oh
LITERALLY
this is the kind of music I put on and then make sick art
good! 😁
Where's the art?
@Husk rude
@Husk uh
Reminds me of some stuff Postal Service did. Such Great Heights vibes.
When Ribs is playing but you're reenacting Green Light
the music video for green light but its ribs and it’s not green it’s blue 😂
@@plsdontlookatme lmao!
this video makes me feel like i’m in a stall crying and having nostalgic feelings I have never even experienced
tea

KoopieDoobie including the extended version?
James Tyler Yes! 😭
James Tyler I blasted Pure Heroine in my room everyday after school 😆
KoopieDoobie so did i but i was 13 when it came out
lavenderade Listening to the album feels like you’re getting a on a time machine and travel back in time 😭
listening to this makes me feel like i’m in the photo. beautiful job.
That was the aim, I’m glad it made you imagine you were in the photo and thank you!
Omg I know! 😍😭 is so sub-real!
That's a great way of explaining it
This entire album is so nostalgic and bittersweet. I was 16 when it came out (same age Lorde was) and nothing else has ever come close to capturing the feeling of high school and all its many and conflicting emotions. Such a masterpiece.
WheresWallace4883 i was 9 when this song came out but now i’m 16 and i rly feel these lyrics

He’s gone now. Kids, don’t do drugs because your friends want to...
He fried his brain on acid and shot himself. He was so bright and smart but then he fell down the hole of drugs and depression. Listen to your friends. Be there for them.
I’m sorry to hear that, I hope u found peace with the song! 💕
rose quartz bubblegum i did ❤️

If they play this at a party, I would run out of the bathroom first thing.
this cured my depression and brought it back at the same time
This is the song that will be playing in my head while on the verge of my death.

Lennart Makkink OMG SAME TAXI RIDES WITH PURE HEROINE WAS SO FUCKING CALM
i come here every night at 1 or 2 in the morning to cry
1:49 and im here what did i say
do you still come here?
this is art
thank you!
I wanna make one of these but halfway through have someone burst in through the door and start violently shitting
Stan Twitter why do i feel like that would become a tiktok sound 😂😂
this makes me feel like someone drunk crying in the girl’s bathroom at a party and though i’m surrounded by complete strangers also drunk, i’m being comforted by every girl in the bathroom. some of them are even hyping me up and though i don’t know if i’ll ever meet these girls again i live in the moment knowing that there is comfort and solidarity to be found.

When I'm at 30 years old and this song is played, it hit diffrent
whatever you see yourself doing in this bathroom reveals something about you
Gen W looking at myself in the mirror telling myself it will be okay so what does that reveal about me splashing water on myself
K wait- yes
crying bruh
Checking on my eyeliner and thinking how every public bathroom has the pink almond scented liquid soap.
Vibing and crying to this song sitting on the sink while drinking sodas while wrapped in a light blanket watching my friends dance their heart out-
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mom and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old
We can talk it so good
We can make it so divine
We can talk it good
How you wish it would be all the time
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mom and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mom and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old
We can talk it so good
We can make it so divine
We can talk it good
How you wish it would be all the time
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old
I want 'em back (I want 'em back)
The minds we had (the minds we had)
How all the thoughts (how all the thoughts)
Moved 'round our heads (moved 'round our heads)
I want 'em back (I want 'em back)
The minds we had (the minds we had)
It's not enough to feel the lack
I want 'em back, I want 'em back, I want 'em
You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
Laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough
You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
Laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough

This reminds me of the high school I will never have, no cheerleaders, no three months vacation, only uniforms, shitty teachers and fake people
im bout to cry right now
i thought the original song makes nostalgic, but now listening to this version is makes crying. What you created is total masterpiece
awh thank u that’s so kind!
the amount of power this video holds ....
i have friends who survived parkland, some of whom lost their own friends and siblings. i can’t hear this song without being brought back to that day. “my mom and dad let me stay home.” “i want ‘em back, the minds we had.” “it feels so scary getting old.” this song is a masterpiece.

3am here, i feel like the time around me is slower.. everything seems in a slo-mo right now
Let’s be honest Lorde is coming back
it's not enough to feel the lack
I honestly didn’t know I needed this in my life.

I would rather be at bathroom
And wondering whether or not it was a good idea to be there at all.
Now this makes me cry
Man the acoustics in this bathroom are lit fam.
this hits different
swingin party, pls
I was thinking of this song all day on the last day of 8th grade 05/23/19
Luis Franco it’s good to have a song attached to a certain memory good or bad, cause everybody has those
Just looking at myself in the mirror and realising how high/drunk I am
The best way to listen to lorde. Pure heroine ^^
This makes me even sadder than the original
Wow this song and this bathroom is perfect place and time for crying
I was at a party a couple weeks ago and they played this
try to close your eyes while you listen to this masterpiece
I wish I could make a party with everyone here and we could dance our lungs out through this dance, just feeling it!
that sounds so cool but i think 50% of us are wayyyyyyyy to shy 😂
I’m ascending
all my friends dropped me in oct, it’s been the worst months of my life, i just want to admit all the shit they put me through
this is stunning
Thank you!! 😀😀
Who’s cutting onions in here
This is something they should play in euphoria
It reminds me of a time of confusion. A time of wonder, leaps of faith, and heartbreak. A time when I knew myself. Now everything just sucks. Now my life is filled with responsibilities and fear and failure.
this is so good, love the bass, it truly feels like i’m at a party in the bathroom crying :‘) thank u for this 🤍

I thought the crying was in the video but it was just me
This made me realize that this is my fav song ever.
Thanks for this masterpiece, friend

I wish they played music like this at school dances, instead of pop and R&B sometimes.😿😔..
Why I'm crying?
Wonderful. Thanks

how it feels to be at the bar alone looking for any kind of romantic interaction while deep down knowing ur on a dark road of patching self hate and drinking
