![]() But this time, there’s no indication that she’s passing judgment on the people involved: neither herself or the whore. Verse 2 discusses the same types of crazy and outlandish events that we found in the first verse (here, it’s her talking to her dad about anal sex, murdering someone for something as petty as code, and a “whore” who is clearly tripping on something). I think the use of “waifu” is meant to indicate how she literally has affection for whatever the cause of her luck is. ![]() And she wishes she could know why those things land in her lap when they do, but you get the feeling that she doesn't care so much about knowing the answer as much as she cares about giving praise to whatever, or whoever, is the cause of the random goodness in her life - whatever it is, they're likened to a benevolent God (“Oh, Messiah”). She seems to want to hold dearly, greedily on to those things when they happen (they’re “all mine, mine”). Like the child, this girl is in awe at the good things she randomly comes across in her life. I think here she’s depicting herself as a child who finds a paper plane that lands near them but has no idea where it came from. But then she seems to question whether other people are more ridiculous than her (while Yosef laughs at something inside of her, he’s really laughing at his smells) and whether it’s the crazy world (popes are out “in the streets” like regular people and they’re praising ISIS publicly) itself that’s to blame for the bad stuff happening to those around her.Īll of this hatred – of herself and others – is quickly juxtaposed with the chorus, which sounds like a psalm or a hymn of some sort. There’s a lot of room for interpretation, but I think it’s about a girl reacting to the messed-up world around her and wondering why there’s so much bad in the world, but eventually seeing and dwelling in the fact that there’s a lot of good.Īt first, she expresses self-loathing and blame: She is disgusted with herself (she’s a “four-assed” “bubble”) and blames herself for the bad shit that happens to the people around her (she’s the “hugest pneumonia” in her whole “tribe”). Since the meaning of the song might not be clear, here's my best shot: Go watch the music video again, but this time flip the video upside down, invert the colors, and zoom in 750% on Clairo’s nose ring from 1:18-1:22. Wi shi an ip ĮDIT: I have confirmed that these lyrics are accurate.

I feel like I've gained 10 new friends just from this record alone.I couldn't find the lyrics to this song anywhere, official or otherwise. “I think that's why I love the record so much… After making the record, we've all become very close. The new relationships all came about in a really natural (and tear-filled) way. These connections are a big part of why Sling was such a fun and freeing experience for Clairo. why?' And it was Lorde and I started crying. “So Jack texted me and said, 'Hey, I'm with a friend, can we call you?' And I said, 'Yeah!. “Obviously she's really close with Jack ,” says Clairo. But then, as she was writing ‘Reaper’, she decided to ask if he’d like to be involved. “And I was already scared - not scared, but I was intimidated… was able to really empathise with a lot of things that I hadn't been able to talk about.”Įventually he brought up the idea of making the record together, to which Clairo initially said no. “I met Jack just to be friends,” she explains. According to Clairo, that came about in a kind of roundabout way… ![]() Sling was co-produced alongside Grammy Award winning producer, Jack Antonoff.
