The Path (Lyrics)
Born in the year of OxyContin
Raised in the tall grass
Teen millionaire having nightmares from the camera flash
Now I’m alone on a windswept island
Caught in the complex divorce of the seasons
Won’t take the call if it’s the label or the radio
Arm in a cast at the museum gala
Fork in my purse to take home to my mother
Supermodels all dancing round a pharaoh’s tomb
Now if you’re looking for a saviour, well that’s not me
You need someone to take your pain for you? Well, that’s not me
‘Cause we are all broken and sad, where are the dreams that we had, can’t find the dreams that we had
Let’s hope the sun will show us the path
#Lorde #SolarPower

I think it's perfect how lorde opened the album with this song cause her previous albums melodrama and pure heroine both had that dark theme of fame and romanticizing of thrill. with this album she straight up opened with a song saying "I'm not your savior. I can't save you." like she is letting go of the persona with which she's always made her previous music. She's turning a new leaf. She's growing up. I'm so happy for her! 😭

im only saying you can't come up with "my work is personal/conceptual you have to respect it" being a little more extreme: complicated=good - i thought this was such a basic concept to criticism, just like you don't have to be a professional musician to criticize music and be "high standard"; im rly trying my best not to sound like an asshole

I keep coming back to this song. It feels like a Melodrama song and also not. It's a moody piece, heavy on the instruments. But it also grows bolder and brighter. Like a song for the end and the beginning of an era as the track list has shown. I'm reminded of what Tove Jansson said about borders: "The border is longing; when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing." And I honestly think The Path is one of Lorde's best. I wish it could've gotten a music video so people can truly recognize its beauty.
