Closed my mouth more, tried to be softer, prettier, less awake. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News/Getty Images "Denial" The past and the future merge to meet us here. In the tradition of men in my blood, you come home at 3 a.m.
Unknown women wander the hallways at night. I tried to make a home out of you, but doors lead to trap doors, a stairway leads to nothing. So what else did Beyoncé say in Lemonade? Here it is, broken down by title: "Intuition" But you are the love of my life." Deep stuff, am I right? "Anger" ends with the words "Why can't you see me? Everyone else can," while "Apathy" begins with, "So what are you gonna say at my funeral, now that you've killed me?" In the middle of "Resurrection," she says, "Why are you afraid of love? You think it's not possible for someone like you. What does it all mean?īeyoncé speaks slowly and distinctly against quiet backgrounds with crickets in the distance.
More often than not, the words in Lemonade were eerie. Is Lemonade all about Jay Z? Is it about Beyoncé's parents? Did Jay Z cheat on her? Is everything OK? But perhaps the most powerful element to the album was Beyoncé's speaking parts throughout the songs and chapters, which features poetry by Warsan Shire, a Somali-British poet. It left fans feeling #blessed, but also with tons of unanswered questions. From diving off buildings to cheating allegations to wedding photos, the visuals, along with the poetic music, were top-notch.
Remember how confused you felt after seeing the trailer for Lemonade? Well, if you watched Beyonce's visual album on HBO, which combined film, art, and some incredible new songs, it may have left you just as perplexed.
