Portra 400
Embracing Painful Hues: Arlo Parks' Portra 400 Revelations
Lyrics
Making rainbows out of something painful
Making something beautiful out of a painful experience
Getting fried as hell and dodging gravestones
Feeling extremely intoxicated and avoiding danger or harm
Spiralling in bathrooms, tile on cheek
Feeling overwhelmed or lost, possibly under the influence, lying on a bathroom floor
Telling me that drugs will only make me weak
Someone warning about the negative effects of drugs
Don't you think I know that?
Expressing awareness of the effects of drugs
Don't you think I know that? Ahh
Reiterating self-awareness about the impact of drugs
Keeping bits of moonstone next to me
Keeping a token or reminder of something valuable close by
Tried to shave your stubble, but you gashed your cheek
An attempt at grooming led to an injury
Won't you stay away?
Requesting someone to keep their distance
Won't you stay away from me?
Asking someone to stay away
With you I'm always
Feeling a constant connection or attachment with someone
Making rainbows out of something painful
Repetition of creating beauty from pain
Getting fried as hell and dodging gravestones
Repetition of feeling highly intoxicated and avoiding danger
You look like me when you lie
Noticing similarities between oneself and another person when they are dishonest
Boiled blood star shifts in the window of my eye
Feeling intense emotions or agitation, symbolized by a visual distortion
You put warm salt to the stitch
Applying a soothing substance to heal
And I suffer for the sky that you shook nine times
Enduring pain or suffering caused by someone's actions
You smell like burnt hibiscus
Associating a particular smell with someone
I still feel blessed even when you're bitching
Feeling fortunate despite the other person complaining
You stole my spine for a minute
Feeling emotionally weakened or vulnerable because of someone else's actions
So I cut my hair just to make you smile
Changing appearance to please or satisfy someone else
Making rainbows out of something painful
Reiteration of finding beauty in pain
Getting fried as hell and dodging gravestones
Reiteration of feeling highly intoxicated and avoiding danger
Making rainbows out of something painful
Reiteration of finding beauty in pain
Getting fried as hell and dodging gravestones
Reiteration of feeling highly intoxicated and avoiding danger
