And I'll never go home again

(Place the call, feel it start)

Favourite friend

(And nothing's wrong when nothing's true)

I live in a hologram with you

We're all the things that we do for fun

(And I'll breathe, and it goes)

Play along

(Make-believe it's hyper real)

But I live in a hologram with you

Lorde makes me think like I'm on Pure Heroine

This is my official dissertation on the evolution of Lorde and how she became a satirist and absolutely CONSUMED MY BRAIN.

In Liability by Lorde she says, “they’re all going to watch me disappear into the sun” and I saw a tiktok the other day saying that in this new album she talks about the beauty of stepping into the sun and how she realized that maybe some of the scariest/loneliest roads we take in life are the ones that will make us the happiest and most fulfilled.

What I think this creator is talking about is that she used wellness culture to cultivate her new self and her new music. However, although at surface level this may be the case, I do believe that Lorde is a satirist and intentional or not this was all a part of her plan…. The plot always THICKENS.

Spiritual and wellness social media accounts often glamorize the state of enlightenment, and that life can be peaceful and that you won’t have problems, but that’s literally IMPOSSIBLE and I think the subtle art of not giving a fuck puts it well. It reads “therefore our problems are recursive and unavoidable: the person you marry is the person you fight with, the house you buy is the house you repair, the dream job you take is the job you stress over. Everything comes with an inherent sacrifice, whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make you feel bad, what we gain is also what you lose, what creates our positive experiences will define our negative experiences. And this is a difficult pill to swallow, we like the idea that there’s some form of ultimate happiness that can be attained, we like the idea that we can feel fulfilled and satisfied with our lives, we like the idea that we can alleviate all our sufferings permanently, but we cannot! If I ask you, what do you want out of life and you say something like I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like, your response is so common and doesn’t mean anything. Everyone enjoys what feels good, everyone wants to live carefree, easy and happy life, to fall in love and have amazing sex and relationships that look perfect and make money and be popular and well respected and admired. Everybody wants that and it’s easy to want that. But a more interesting question is what pain do you want in your life” what pain are you willing to experience alongside all the happy things you want. And I truly think Lorde discovered that.

Although I do believe that Lorde’s break from social media allowed her to fully fall into wellness, through that journey she realized just how ridiculous and “whatever you’d call a person that can’t read the room” Wellness truly is. The whole lead up to the album release and the album itself truly pertains to that.

In the leadup to the album release, there was a “leaked” piece of Solar Power. I don’t think that this was accidental, it was a Marketing Strategy.  She used the media and how she understands it to play the part in how her album was to be perceived. To gain traction…

Lorde believes that social media is insane and how we use it to get all our information is insane, it literally rots our brains.

Not only is the song Mood Ring a satire but the title ITSELF. The way she says “plants and celebrity news are the vitamins I consume” – because we’re all mindful and trying to take care of ourselves yet we literally live for ENews and celebrity gossip which is obviously bad for you. The contradiction is what makes it satire. She goes on to say “I want to go away” like to the east and “love and light” she’s literally satire-ing on how people think these superficial things can help them find themselves. And how they market wellness is that doing these things is not only good for yourself but good for the people around you… however we are also conscious of the implications of us traveling to mostly eastern countries. OR EVEN MOOD RINGS THEMSELVES – they were probably mined by kids who get paid less than peanuts just for you to say that you’re “spiritual” or whatever the f you think it makes you.

Truly it is so scary that the most conscious minds about economic imbalance, climate change, social injustice are the same minds that promote over consumption, and just exist in a patriarchy happily.

In conclusion this really has nothing to do with Lorde herself but rather how perplex the brain is… I AM A CONFUSED BEING…. My brain hurts and I would like to cry…. but not for too long because there are worse things happening in the world and I am lucky to be alive.

P.S. Ignorance is bliss and If you’re too open minded you’ll blow your brains out!
