I MISS CAMREN
It's my 3 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
sometimes i just look at this gif and see what real love looks like.
And i will keep on re-blogging this right here as long as it keeps appearing on my dashboard. It's just so soft, my heart.
Are you Filipino?
So sorry for the late reply, mate. Been busy with law school hehe. But yes, I am Filipino. Happy New Year!
Hey, everyone. It's been awhile.
Only Told the Moon
Hey my babies 👋🏼🤗. As I promised I would, ta-daaah 🎉✨🎊.
So 😁, today I wanna talk to you about the spectral theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces and tensor analysis.
…
……
………
…………
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m kidding of course 🤣. The title of the post already says today’s topic. You guys thank the K Anon for the ask.
Hi K 👋🏼😄. Have a nice day too and hope you like it 😊.
So. Camila wrote and produced Only Told the Moon in a hotel room by using GarageBand, a software to create music developed by Apple that can also be used by those who don’t know how to play any musical instrument. A snippet was leaked in 2016, but then the entire song was leaked on Feb 16, 2017. Mila started writing it in 2014 when she was 17, and finished it at 18 the following year in 2015. And when did she ‘say’ that she’d completed it? On Lauren’s birthday:
Why don’t you put an even bigger sign that directly says “THIS IS FOR LAUREN!” next time, Mila? 🤣 I mean, of all days, right on her birthday? Okay 🤣. But thanks tho 😉🤭.
There’s also this one here which I’m pretty sure was another hint to the lyrics:
We know how much Mila likes the moon:
We know how much Mila likes the sun and the moon: Ahem-ahem, her sun… 😎
And this one here… I mean, Mila???? On her birthday the following year? AGAIN??????? 🤣🤣🤣
But this one… Ooooh, this one! 🤭🤣
Mila, bish! Are you really gonna tell me that when you posted it, you didn’t know that it was actually the edit of THIS one?
Little story for you. It was early March 2016 and I’d been in the fandom for a very very short time. This Camren fanart was one of the first I saw. At the time, however, I saw the original. As you can see, this one is cropped and the quality is not the best. I tried to look for the original which was of the same quality as the edited one that Mila posted, but I unfortunately couldn’t find it anywhere. The point is that I saw it. That one was created first. That one was actually the original. Then it was edited, maybe by the same person who created it, but I don’t know that. But I do know with absolute certainty, also because everyone said it at the time, that that one was created first. So, my question remains the same:
Are you really gonna tell me that when you posted it, you didn’t know that it was actually the edit of THIS one?? KARLA CAMILA CABELLO ESTRABAO!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON, NOW!!!! WHO ARE YOU KIDDING???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But back to being serious now. We have ‘the classic’ one:
That’s the famous sun and moon artwork (created by Zias and posted on the artist website DeviantArt). It was the first one to be used by fans as cover art for the song when the snippet was leaked in 2016. We saw Mila use it many times on her social networks:
And we even saw it worn on her sweatshirt on November 27, 2015, in Mexico for The Reflection Tour, both for an interview with Telehit and for the meet & greet:
🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 ahem, ahem, anyway.
There are obviously tons of other pics and tweets where Mila talked about the sun and the moon, but I think these ones are enough. Let’s focus on the song now. I love this song 🥰. This song made me realize how talented Mila was, since she was only 17 when she started it. How much of a great songwriter she was already at the time since this is one of the first songs she wrote 100% on her own and without professional help. Then honestly the fact that it was so complex, made me like it 100 times more 😜.
But anyway, I advise you to mentally prepare yourselves because this is the longest interpretation I’ve done so far. Make yourselves a sandwich, or a coffee, or I don’t know, something that can accompany you on the journey 😄. Oh and, as usual, you can even disagree with me, but this is the way I see it 😊.
Okay, ready? Let’s go! 🙌🏼
Verse 1:
“Stay back, stay long
And you, move on
I stress, come close
Move on, please don’t”
One of the things I love the most about this song is how cryptic it is 😍, and I think you know by now how much of a sucker I am for deciphering things 😏. So what do we have here? We have words, but something doesn’t add up. There appear to be holes. As if there were missing pieces of a sentence, right? Well, that’s because it is like that. Or at least, it is for me. On whole sentences, Mila only used a few words. So basically, it was as if she’d removed the rest because the meaning of those words alone, had the same concept as one or more whole sentences. I’ll explain better with an example:
“On my way home after work last night, I tripped on a really dirty sidewalk and fell to my knees by tearing off my new polka dotted pantyhose that I loved, and breaking the heel of my shoe because I was distracted looking at my phone”. Now, that’s the whole sentence. But if I just write “On my way home. I fell. Distracted.” in that same cryptic way, wouldn’t you understand anyway that the fact of the matter is that I fell? Wouldn’t you understand anyway even without the need to know all those details in the whole sentence that my distracted ass was on the ground? I really think so. Oh and, just to clarify, this didn’t really happen. I’m not clumsy and I certainly don’t work in heels 🤣. It was just an example I created for you to understand. Let’s move on 🙃.
So, what was Mila actually talking about? What is the meaning behind it? We have ‘Stay back, stay long’ which makes us understand both their usual back-and-forth/cycle/loop, and how Camila was the one who broke up with Lauren and that then wanted her back. When? When ‘And you, move on’; aka when Laur had found someone else. Oh and, the ‘And you’ is a question. You can notice it by listening to the way she sings it: And you? Move on.
‘I stress, come close - Move on, please don’t’. These two, already at the time (2017) made me understand that Mila wasn’t really talking to Laur. They were just thoughts in her head that she, however, didn’t tell her 100% for pride reasons. She broke up with her, saw that Lo was moving on, and instead of telling her in person how much she wanted her close/back (come close) and how much she didn’t want her to move on (Move on, please don’t), she talked to herself by repeating it (I stress) over and over again in her head. I understood this especially because the ‘Move on’ is a question and the ‘please don’t’ is the reaction to the affirmative answer of the question. It was like: Mila saw Lo with someone else and thought “Is she moving on? Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, please no!”. As with ‘And you’, if you listen closely, you can clearly hear that it’s a question and that Mila says “Move on? Please don’t”.
Therefore, to recap. Stay back, which literally means that Mila told her to leave her alone/stay away from her, aka the artistic way she used to describe the moment she broke up with her. Then she regretted it. She wanted her back and wanted Lo to stay with her for a long time, aka for good (stay long). But what did Laur do? (And you“?”) She moved on (move on) [Sure, Jan]. And when Mila realized this (Move on“?”), she started thinking by emphasizing/repeating (I stress) in her head over and over again how much she wanted her close/back (come close) because, obviously, she didn’t want Lo to move on (please don’t).
Pre-Chorus 1:
“Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss
Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well
And you can read between the lines but God, I fell”
Ohhh, I can read between the lines, baby!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All kidding aside🤣, I’m serious now. We have another little riddle here. A puzzle, or rather, a game. A game with sentences, a game with the various meanings behind it, and, above all, a game with personal pronouns. Actually, the whole motherfucking song is based on these three things 🤣. But anyway.
With the first two sentences (Hello, how are you? How you’ve been? - Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss), it might have seemed at first as if Mila was asking those questions to Laur, right? Right. And with ‘Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well - And you can read between the lines but God, I fell’, it might have seemed at first as if Lo had answered her that, right? Right. But then you’ll have stopped for a moment and said “Wait a minute! Hold on, hold on, hold on, wait a fucking minute! If Laur had moved on in the first verse, why on earth would she tell Mila to read between the lines right after telling her she was doing well? [Reading between the lines means finding the subtext/implication, and in this case, I’m doing well, means the exact opposite read between the lines: I’m NOT doing well] It wouldn’t make sense because she would never have admitted it for a pride matter.”
So you must have thought it was the other way around. That it was Lauren the one who was asking Camila those questions, right? Right. But then the confusion will have entered again because, again, if Laur was moving on in the first verse, why after the questions would she have told her that lately she was wondering how it would feel to steal her kiss? Why move on and simply not get back with her as Mila also secretly wanted (I stress, come close - Move on, please don’t)? It would’ve been a contradiction. And therefore you must have thought, “Okay, Lauren asked her the two questions, but everything else in the sentences was just Camila, right? That’s gotta be it. Right? Right.” WROOONG! It’s all wrong 🤣. As I said before, it’s game with sentences, a game with the various meanings behind it, and, above all, a game with personal pronouns.
This song, this whole song is a confession. A confession of how things had gone and how things were still going between Camila and Lauren. A confession that Mila made. To whom? Who was she telling all these things to? The freaking song title is the answer 🤣: Only Told the Moon. For Mila, the moon is a friend. A protector who watches over her and from whom she ‘goes’ to confide, especially when she feels alone.
So. I explained the game in the first verse, but what’s the game in the first pre-chorus?
In the first verse, Mila talked to the moon about what happened between her and Lauren by using the present tense. As if she was reliving the memories. But in reality, they were things that had already happened. In the first pre-chorus indeed, she used ‘Lately I wonder’; thing that makes us understand how some time had passed since the first verse, that is, since Mila had broken up with Laur to then regretting it while Lo was moving on. In the first pre-chorus, however, Mila explained to the moon the things that had happened in the period after the breakup. She explained to the moon how she was being asked if she was okay, and that even though she answered that she was, she actually wasn’t okay at all. Yeah guys 🤣, it was actually external people who asked those two questions to Camila, and not Lauren to Camila or vice versa. Before you get confused for the umpteenth time 🤣, let me go on so you’ll understand what I mean 🙃.
Read the first pre-chorus in this way by pretending that the two sentences I crossed out don’t exist for a moment, okay?
Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss
Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well
And you can read between the lines but God, I fell
Those are two questions and that’s an answer to both. And so far, so good. It’s very simple. I also explained to you that Mila in the song was telling and confessing everything to the moon, and therefore, this also excludes the moon itself from the sentences that I haven’t crossed out. But in the last sentence, on the other hand, we have the moon as a referent (I’ll explain that shortly), and that’s why I said that those who asked Mila those questions were external people. If you still have doubts about it, think about it for a moment. Those are questions you ask a person you haven’t seen for a while, and what sense would it have made for one of them (Camren) to ask the other ‘Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?’ if we know perfectly well that they were together 24-7? 😏
Now that I hope I’ve removed this doubt as well, let’s move on. As I was saying, in the first pre-chorus Mila explained to the moon the things that had happened after the breakup. She explained to the moon how people asked her how she was: Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?. And since she wasn’t okay, those questions immediately made her think of Lo.
You know when you’re talking to someone and your mind spaces out thinking about something else? Maybe because that someone said something that reminded you of that thing that’s distracting you from the conversation. Well, we know how short Camila’s attention span is and how easily distracted she is 🤣. But, while that’s usually funny because, I mean, it’s Camila, and it’s one of the billions of reasons why I love her, in this case of the song, her mind spaced out on Laur because she was suffering for her. So in that timeframe between immediately after the questions and before the answer, and because of the questions, Mila thought about Lo and how she would’ve wanted to kiss her: Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss. It was like, people: “Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?” – Mila by thinking of Laur ‘Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss’ to then answering:
“Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well. I’m just as good as an ass sitting on a cactus, thanks for asking. What about you?”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All kidding aside now. Immediately after thinking of Laur, Mila came back to reality and, as you saw up here, she answered with the bullshit that she was doing well: Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well.
Sometimes the people who ask you those questions do it because they’re fond of you and there’s really an interest on their part in knowing how you’re doing. Others, still those ones who are fond of you, ask them to you because they saw or already knew that something was wrong, and it’s their way of letting you vent to help you (sometimes that doesn’t work because you prefer to lie to them despite trusting them simply because you don’t want to talk about it). Then there are those ones who ask you just for gossip and not because they really care about you; especially if they saw that something was wrong, they can’t wait to know the reason to then go gossiping by telling someone else everything. And lastly, there are those ones who ask you just out of courtesy. Like, for example, the typical two-second encounter that happens when you see someone you know: “Heeey, hi, how are you?” whose answer is always “I’m good. How are you?” even if you feel like shit, “I’m good. See ya”, you know? These are questions that you ask others yourself as well. Everyone does and no one really cares about the answer because, whether you’re really okay or not, the answer is always “I’m good/fine/okay” regardless, because you wouldn’t talk about personal matters with someone you don’t trust, and same thing for them towards you.
In Mila’s case, we know that 5H were always surrounded by people. Especially on tour or on promotional weeks, they saw and met people every day. Their team, sound engineers, assistants, photographers, interviewers, fans, etc., etc. People in general. So, “Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?”, whether they were courtesy questions or not, Mila still received them every day even several times a day from different people.
Moving forward we find a slight change of scenery. This is where the moon comes into play as an actual referent. From telling the moon about their breakup and what happened both immediately after and a short while after it, Mila spoke in the present-present by addressing the moon directly: “And you can read between the lines but God, I fell”. Meaning: You, moon, you can read between the lines and understand that I answered those questions with bullshit because I’m not doing well. I broke up with her, she started moving on, I regret it, and now I feel terrible because I miss her. I know she’s kinda dating somebody else, but God, I fell in love with her and I want her back.
I had the confirmation that I was even more right about both first verse and first pre-chorus (and the song in general actually) in the years that followed thanks to five other songs: three unreleased ones and two officially released ones. These songs are: XO (I Don’t Miss Ya) leaked in 2020, Cry for Me officially released in 2019 as a promotional single for Romance, Must Be Love leaked in 2019, Used to This officially released in 2019 with Romance, and Closure leaked in 2022. That one, plus Only Told the Moon, is the order of the music timeline concerning the post-breakup period [XO (I Don’t Miss Ya), Cry for Me, Must Be Love, Used to This, Closure, and Only Told the Moon]. I’ll explain better why to you:
Camren officially got together in early April 2014 and broke up in late November of the same year (Camila was 17). To be precise, it was Mila who broke up with Lo. I’m not just saying that because I understood it from this song (Only Told the Moon) which was the first of those five we had (2017). I’m saying that because Camila herself said it two years later and therefore I had confirmation of it. But we’ll get there shortly. Let me follow the order of the music timeline.
So. Mila broke up with Lo. Their first breakup since they were official. Laur was certainly not happy about it but, she sure as hell behaved as if she were, aka XO (I Don’t Miss Ya). Lo was hurt and, driven by anger, she acted as if she cared neither that Mila broke up with her and the reasons why she did, nor Mila herself. She acted as if she was better off without her. Partially true because soon after, she found someone else to ‘move on with’ briefly.
Examples of what I told you in the song: Lo was hurt and, driven by anger, she acted as if she cared neither that Mila broke up with her and the reasons why she did (So keep your feelings inside of your head. I like you better when you keep em’ there. Don’t let me know, don’t let me know. Unfortunately, I don’t miss ya //// “Don’t let me know, don’t let me know”, funny how exactly two years later [2016], she asked her the exact opposite in Let Me Know [interpretation here, penultimate ask]), nor Mila herself (I don’t need nobody to make me feel good - & - Used to be xo, now we’re exes). She acted as if she was better off without her. (Appreciate it when you’re not around. I like you better when you’re out of town. Better alone, better alone. Unfortunately, I don’t miss ya). Partially true because soon after, she found someone else to ‘move on with’ briefly.
That, on the other hand, resulted in anger in Mila triggered by jealousy, aka I’m Pissed Off You’re Happy (“I’m pissed off you’re happy, you’re happy y-y-y-y-y. I’m pissed off you’re happy, without me e-e-e-e-e”), which in turn years later became what we know as Cry for Me. And now I can tell you when Mila herself said she broke up with her: (here, min 2:31) Camila: “I broke up with somebody, and I was like: ‘okay’. But then, a few days after, I would just see them- just looking so happy, so radiant, like, dating someone else so quickly; and I was like: ‘Wait! Like, that was so- I knew you were gonna move on, but that was really, really fast. Like, I feel jealous that you were able to move on and be happy so much faster than me’”.
So basically: Mila broke up with her and she was like ‘I’m okay with it. I did the right thing’. Lo, hurt, acted like ‘Better this way. I don’t give a shit. I’m happy like this’, and I’m also convinced that it was out of spite that she kinda started dating someone else. And Mila became jealous and angry. It was like, she saw her happy? = “Well, you look so happy walking down the street, don’t you, babe? - & - And you’re okay, you’re okay, how can you be okay? No, why won’t you cry?”. The fact that Lo wasn’t hurt (only according to her since Laur didn’t show it) from the breakup and her, infuriated Mila.
Mila learned that Lo was already dating someone else, and instead of telling her that she wasn’t okay with it, out of even more anger and pride, Mila told her she was happy for her = “When I said I hope you’re happy, didn’t mean it”. Then the increasingly angry and jealous reasoning started in her head, still because, out of pride, she didn’t say anything to Laur: “Never thought you’d be so good at moving on - & - You said that in this lifetime you could never get over me? Are you over me? - & - Who can make you forget about me? - & - I want you to cry for me, cry for me - & - And it’s time you know the feeling”. Lastly followed by the regret of having broken up with Lo and the wanting things back the way they were: “Tears in my eyes, yeah - & - Say you’d die for me, die for me. And if you can’t, then baby, lie for me, lie for me. ‘Cause you haunt me when I’m dreamin’”.
Cry for Me was jealousy, and anger, and pride, but also regret. That’s where Mila realized both that she’d fucked up and that she wanted Laur back. We can also notice the difference between what she actually told her “When I said I hope you’re happy”, and what instead she really thought “didn’t mean it ” & “Move on? Please don’t” of the Only Told the Moon’s first verse. All that, resulted in something else. The realization of being in love with her, aka Must Be Love: “Must be love. Or this wouldn’t hurt so much. And I wouldn’t think so much. And I could just give you up”. The Must Be Love’s falling in love, is a connection that we find both with “And you can read between the lines but God, I fell” in the Only Told the Moon’s pre-chorus, and with “seventeen when I started to fall” in Used to This. If that’s why, we also find it with “And maybe people like me love too much” in Closure, but let’s talk about Used to This first.
Used to This is about the difference in their behaviors between when they were fuckbuddies and when they officially got together. About how Mila was getting used to being her girlfriend. The last part, however, is linked to the other three previous songs (XO (I Don’t Miss Ya), Cry for Me, and Must Be Love), which is when she broke up with her, regretting it and then wanting her back: the parts in the song parenthesis “(I’ll risk it all. Seventeen when I started to fall, but we lost it all, and I just can’t believe it all)”. And yes, guys, it’s seventeen when I started to fall. I, not we. I think you know me by now and that therefore you know that I don’t say bullshit because, unless I’m just telling you my theories and opinions about something, I always do my research before speaking. But in case any of you have any doubts, here. It’s written in the booklet:
Now that you’ve also seen it, can you do Mila (and me too) a favor? Can you please stop saying we? Thanks 🙏🏼🤣. Let’s move on to Closure.
After she realized she was in love with her, the fear of losing her forever set in because, as we’ve seen, Lo was acting as if she didn’t care about Mila anymore (And I hope that you care, that you’re there. It’s killing me - & - But the phone won’t ring ‘cause, darling, do I mean a thing?) and she was moving on with someone else (Then you moved on and I can’t carry on). Mila still had some hope (I want closure. Tell me it’s not over (it can’t be over, it can’t be over). Let me live in my fantasy where you still think of me), but the more time passed, the more she was little by little losing that hope. And we lastly arrive at Only Told the Moon. Last song (so far) that encompasses that chapter before they got back together.
In Only Told the Moon, as I started to explain to you, Mila told the moon everything that had happened from the breakup to the back then present, where her having hope and not giving up was rewarded (you’ll see later in the interpretation). That, in the reality happened at the end of December 2014/early January 2015 where we even saw the appearance of two rings 😏. I talked about it in a fairytale way and therefore not saying about the breakup but only about a fight in the 🗯️ - ɟ post: [Right click on the pic and go to ‘open image in a new tab’. Go to the tab that has just opened, and click on the image with the magnifying glass with the + sign in it to see and read everything better]
So that breakup lasted for about a month and a couple of weeks. Now I can go back to my Only Told the Moon ’s interpretation.
So. Brief summary. In the first verse, Camila was like: “So, my friend (moon), it all started like this…”. (Stay back) she broke up with her. She regretted it and wanted her back with her for good (stay long), but (And you“?”, move on) Laur was moving on [Sure, Jan 🤣]. When Mila found out (Move on“?”), she started thinking by emphasizing/repeating (I stress) in her head over and over again how much she wanted her close/back (come close) because, of course, she didn’t want Lo to move on (please don’t). And in the first pre-chorus, Camila began explaining to the moon the things that had happened in the period after the breakup. Mila by still talking to the moon: “People asked me how I was (people: Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?), but before answering them (Mila: Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well), I was attacked by thoughts about Lauren (Mila, to herself: Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss). And you can imagine my answer was bullshit because, God, I fell in love with her and I feel terrible without her” (Mila: And you can read between the lines but God, I fell).
All very trippy so far, huh? 🤯😏 I know, I know, and we’re not even done yet 🤣. And by the way, how many times have I said that Camila is a fucking genius? Because she is! She’s fucking brilliant!! 😍
Chorus 1:
“I only told the moon, tonight up on the roof
I told her that I’m scared that all my thoughts they look like you
I only told the moon, about the way you move
I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too”
I told her. HER: the moon. For those who don’t know, Mila refers to the moon as ‘she/her’ because in Spanish, as well as in Italian, moon is preceded by the feminine definite article, ‘la’. It says ‘la luna’ in Spanish as well as in Italian. In English, however, the article is always the same, ‘the’. It wasn’t difficult for me to understand it at the time, and no, not because for a couple of years now there has been the fashion to use the she/her for every object even when it actually has the masculine definite article as most part of native English speakers do to be cooler (they’re really really funny to me when they do it, by the way 🤣) precisely because they don’t know the difference because of the ‘the’. Nope. It wasn’t difficult for me to understand it at the time, precisely because I’m Italian. But anyway. Let’s go back to the interpretation.
There’s another little game here. For this time, it’s just a change of referent. If in the first verse and in the first pre-chorus Mila was talking directly to the moon, in the first chorus she was talking to Laur instead. But in reality, she wasn’t really talking to her. It’s as if she were imagining doing it. Lauren wasn’t really there, but Camila imagined that she was. She acted by speaking in the same way that she’d have spoken for real to Laur if Lo had really been there with her.
How come I think Camila was talking to her own imaginative creation of Laur and not Lauren herself? Because n°1, Camren weren’t on good terms at the time as we understood in the first verse, aka they didn’t talk to each other. N°2, as I said before, this whole song is a confession Mila made to the moon. And n°3, Mila herself asked the moon to tell her if Laur was thinking of her too in the last sentence of the first chorus. If Mila was really talking to Laur, she wouldn’t have asked the moon to give her her news. Ergo, Laur wasn’t there and Mila was just imagining talking to her.
Mila explained to Lo, aka her imaginative creation of Laur, about how she talked to her, to the moon. How she confided in her. How she told her secrets. Secrets she was comfortable revealing only to her: I only told the moon, tonight up on the roof. Secrets that, as in this case, represented her fear of not being able to think of anything other than her (Lo): I told her that I’m scared that all my thoughts they look like you.
I only told the moon, about the way you move. About the way you move… Ahem-ahem 🤭. I mean, if THAT doesn’t prove she was talking about a girl, I don’t know what would 🤣. Yeah, the song is enigmatic, and Mila tried to confuse the ideas for anyone who listened to it, but this is the only part of the whole song where it’s clear as day that she was talking about a girl. Her girl. And we know that she’s talked about it too before. Two examples that come to my mind now are OMG: “When she drop it bounce back like a yo-yo”, and Crown: “The way you move is serpentine”.
I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too. As I mentioned earlier, Mila asked the moon to tell her if Laur was talking about things with her too. She wanted to know if also Lo was telling the moon that she thought of Mila too.
We have three subjects here: I, me: Camila – Her: moon – You: Lauren. I (Mila) asked her (the moon) to please tell me (Mila) if you (Laur) tell things to her (the moon) too.
So basically, throughout the first chorus, Mila (I, me) imagined talking to Lo (you) about what she’d confessed to the moon (her) about her feelings for Laur herself.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP *sound effect*
If you made it this far without a headache, congratulations!!!! 👏🏼🙌🏼🥳
Now take a deep breath and rest your brain for a moment because I’m probably about to give you one 😇😁👍🏼😉
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP *sound effect*
Verse 2:
“Silence. Too loud
Say it, not now”
This is exactly the same thing we saw in the first verse. The same little game of missing pieces of a sentence. The problem with this one, was that it was even more difficult to decipher. It was the most complex part for me to code at the time. Why? Because not only do we find here the connection with everything I’ve explained so far, but even with a part of the second chorus. But let’s go in order.
We know that Mila suffers from OCD. This is a topic I’ve talked about in many of my posts and I need to do it one more time. OCD leads to having intrusive thoughts. You can’t control them even if you want to, and that, leads those thoughts to be continuous. So continuous, that they lead you to obsession, which in turn leads you to act in a way that is too impulsive, compulsive, just to try to distract yourself and not always think about the same thing [obsession and compulsive, two things that we find in the word itself: obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD]. That, leads you in turn to anxiety because the fear of not being able to stop those thoughts takes over. Now, doesn’t that ring a bell? Don’t you recognize those same words said in the song? No? I’ll give you a hand: “I only told the moon, tonight up on the roof - I told her that I’m scared that all my thoughts they look like you”.
Explanation I’ve now given on the OCD: That, leads you in turn to anxiety because the fear of not being able to stop those thoughts takes over.
Explanation I gave in the first chorus: Mila explained to Lo, aka her imaginative creation of Laur, about how she talked to her, to the moon. How she confided in her. How she told her secrets. Secrets she was comfortable revealing only to her: I only told the moon, tonight up on the roof. Secrets that, as in this case, represented her fear of not being able to think of anything other than her (Lo): I told her that I’m scared that all my thoughts they look like you.
Yeeep. I didn’t explain this in the first chorus because I needed this connection right now because of what I’m about to explain. But before doing that, I’d also like to add how we’ve seen those intrusive, repetitive thoughts about Lo in two other parts as well: 1) I stress, when she started thinking by emphasizing/repeating in her head over and over again how much she wanted her back, and 2) Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss, when her mind spaced out on Laur instead of immediately answering the questions Hello, how are you? How you’ve been?.
Now. By Silence. Too loud, Mila referred to the intrusive thoughts of her OCD. The “Little voices in my head” that we also find in Consequences, you know? And as I said in that interpretation (in the penultimate ask): “By “Little voices in my head” she was referring to the intrusive thoughts of her OCD. Have you ever noticed that when we read, when we write, and when we think, it’s our own voice the one we hear in our head? Well, it’s the same thing that happens with OCD, and Mila was listening to intrusive thoughts whispering to her, or talking to her, or even screaming to her in her mental voice just as it would happen to all of us with any other thought.”
So, again, Silence. Too loud. There was silence outside. Even between them. Another thing that makes us understand they weren’t talking to each other. But in her head? There were those Little voices that were too loud. In this case (because we’re talking about the song and not Mila and OCD in a generic way), they were all about “Lauren, Lauren, Lauren”. Also because, as you’ve seen, Mila herself only told the moon that she was scared that all her thoughts they looked like Lo.
Say it, not now. Still in this case, imagine as if Mila and those Little voices in her head were having a conversation with each other. In reality, Mila was having an internal conversation with herself, but imagine that as Pinocchio with her conscience, aka Jiminy Cricket. The voices were telling her: “Talk to her. Take her back. Tell her you miss her. Tell her you fell in love with her. Tell her how you feel instead of only talking to the moon about it. Tell her how you feel instead of only imagining doing it (as we saw in the first chorus). Say it to her for real. Take the courage and do it!”. By shitting in her pants just at the idea, Mila answered: “Not now. Later on in time, sure, but not now. I’m not ready yet”.
So. I’ve explained to you the connection that there is in the second verse with everything I’ve already explained so far. But, before explaining the part that for me was the most complex to decipher, which is the connection between the second verse and a part of the second chorus, let’s move on to the second pre-chorus. As I said before, let’s go in order.
Pre-Chorus 2:
“So, how are you? How you’ve been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to taste your lips
Nothing much, just fine, I’m doing well
And you can read between the lines but God, I fell”
The second pre-chorus and the first are the same. They don’t have different meanings, but we do find two differences here: the replacement of Hello with So before the questions, and the replacement of steal your kiss with taste your lips.
The two differences don’t change the meaning of the second pre-chorus per se. They’re just indicators of the time that was passing. Mila was still telling and confessing everything to the moon except for the last part in which she referred directly to her. And if first she wondered how it would feel to steal Laur’s kiss, then she wondered how it would feel to taste Laur’s lips. First indicator of the time that was passing.
The second one, which is the replacement of Hello with So before the questions, makes us understand how also other people different from the first ones were asking her those questions. Nothing wrong with that. I mean, as I explained earlier, they’re spontaneous courtesy questions you ask people you know when you see them. Like for example when you and a friend meet for a coffee. Once the two of you have hugged to greet each other, and once you’ve sat down at a table, one of you usually starts the conversation precisely in that way: So, how are you? How you’ve been?
Chorus 2:
“I only told the moon, tonight up on the roof
I told her that I’m scared that all my thoughts they look like you
I only told the moon, about the way you move
I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too”
So far, it’s all the same as the first chorus. Immediately after, however, we find an addition that distinguishes them:
“That I give it all to you, I give it all to you, I give it all to you
I only told the moon”
Now I can finally explain to you the connection between the second verse and a part of the second chorus. THIS part of the second chorus.
The first chorus ends with I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too. If you combine it with the part following that, which we find here in the second chorus, we get: I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too that I give it all to you. And tell me honestly, does that make sense? Nope. It makes no sense. So I told myself that it had to be yet another game. I thought, what if that part (That I give it all to you, I give it all to you, I give it all to you - I only told the moon) has nothing to do with the parts of the choruses that are the same? What if it had another connection with something else here in the song? Well, why the hell not 🤷🏻♀️. And that’s how I found it 😏. That’s how I understood that this part of the second chorus had the connection with the second verse.
Small summary of the second verse to make you understand better: Silence. Too loud. Say it, not now. There was silence outside, but in Mila’s head, there were those too loud Little voices she was having a conversation with.
It’s in that conversation that we need to add the second chorus part. And now, that conversation becomes:
Voices: “Talk to her. Take her back. Tell her you miss her. Tell her you fell in love with her. Tell her you give it all to her. All your love. All of yourself because she means the world to you. Tell her how you feel instead of only talking to the moon about it. Tell her how you feel instead of only imagining doing it (as we saw in the first chorus). Say it to her for real. Take the courage and do it!”. By shitting in her pants just at the idea, Mila answered: “Not now. Later on in time, sure, but not now. I’m not ready yet”.
So what are the new key points of the connection? These one: Tell her you give it all to her. All your love. All of yourself because she means the world to you. Tell her how you feel instead of only talking to the moon about it. Tell her how you feel instead of only imagining doing it. Say it to her for real.
“Tell her you give it all to her. All your love. All of yourself because she means the world to you” is actually That I give it all to you.
“Tell her how you feel instead of only talking to the moon about it” is because that’s what Mila did, aka I only told the moon which we find in both choruses.
“Tell her how you feel instead of only imagining doing it (as we saw in the first chorus)”. And what did we see in the first chorus? That Mila was imagining talking to Lo about what she’d confessed to the moon about her feelings for Laur herself.
“Say it to her for real” But say what to her for real? Answer: “Tell her you miss her. Tell her you fell in love with her. Tell her you give it all to her. All your love. All of yourself because she means the world to you. Tell her how you feel instead of only talking to the moon about it. Tell her how you feel instead of only imagining doing it. …… Take the courage and do it!”. By shitting in her pants just at the idea, Mila answered: “Not now. Later on in time, sure, but not now. I’m not ready yet”.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Basically, the connection between the second verse and a part of the second chorus, is an addition to what the Little voices Mila was having a conversation with told her. The game we find in ‘That I give it all to you, I give it all to you, I give it all to you - I only told the moon’, is that this sentence should be read backwards. I only told the moon that I give it all to you. It’s as simple as that. The Little voices, aka Mila herself, told her to tell Lo all the things I’ve listed, with the addition that we find here that she gives it all to her, instead of only telling the moon or just imagining doing it. 😏
Bridge:
“Ah-ah ah-ah ah-aaah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-aaah”
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Mila angelically sings this part twice by switching from the lowest to the highest vocal range. There’s actually nothing to interpret here. It’s just something I wanted to include because she gave me goosebumps the first few times I listened to it. That’s all 🤷🏻♀️🙃.
“Uuuh-And another love song, will play on the radio, you know”
A love song, aka yet another thing that would’ve made her think about Lo. Here Mila was again imagining talking to Lo as I explained to you in the first chorus. ‘you know’, YOU, Lauren. I explained this to you guys when I told you about the subjects, remember?
“Ah-ah ah-ah ah-aaah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-aaah
Uuh-And I’ll wait for the moon to lean in close, and say”
Why did the moon have to lean in close to tell her something? Think about that for a moment. When is it that you lean in close to someone in that way? When you want to whisper something, habitually either very close to their face so they can hear, or in their ear. It’s usually something that no one else can hear. A secret. Basically, it’s a metaphor Mila used because their story was secret. Especially in the beginning, very few people knew about them, and if that’s why, their entire story has always been and still is a secret to the world. And I’m talking in a general way of course, not about people who know them.
So it was like: And another love song will play on the radio that will make me think about you, you know, Lauren? And, in the meantime, I’ll wait for the moon to lean in close as if it were a secret because no one knew, and say:
Chorus 3:
“That he only told the moon, tonight up on the roof”
AAAAAnd we have the entry of a fourth subject. At first glance, it might have seemed that Mila was referring to a guy for obvious reasons. At the time, I initially thought that was the one Lo was moving on with, but then I reflected and said to myself: “Naaah. Why on earth would this guy have had to confess to the moon the same things as Mila if he already had the girl (Laur)? Her girl! Not to mention the fact that this guy should’ve seen the moon as a friend and have the same kind of love for her that Mila has. Pfffffft!! Come on! It would’ve been an all too huge coincidence!!! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Nope. This is just another game. Think, Fa, think. Who is this he?”. I looked at the lyrics again and answered to myself right after: the sun. Remember the explanation I gave you in the first chorus about the ‘she/her’ for the moon? It’s the same thing. Here Mila referred to the sun with ‘he’ because in Spanish, as well as in Italian, the sun is preceded by the masculine definite article. ‘El sol’ in Spanish, and ‘il sole’ in Italian.
So I understood that it was the sun, BUT, and yes, there’s a but, he only told the moon is a game within a game. A double game. In their story, Camila is the moon and Lauren is the sun. Mila herself said that she personifies the sun and the moon a lot as people and that she identifies herself to the moon. I explained everything in an ask of my Inauguration post as you can see here: [Same thing as before. Right click on the pic and go to ‘open image in a new tab’. Go to the tab that has just opened, and click on the image with the magnifying glass with the + sign in it to see and read everything better]
As I also said in that post, the personification in their story is: Camila: moon. Lauren: sun. The sun and the moon love each other, as do Laur and Mila. Now look at this:
“i have late night conversations with the moon. she tells me about the sun, and i tell her about you”: i (Mila) have late night conversations with the moon. she (moon) tells me about the sun, and i (Mila) tell her about you (Laur). It’s exactly the same method she used here in the song!
“That he only told the moon, tonight up on the roof”. So in this case, Mila personified the sun. He: sun, aka Lauren. That he only told the moon, tonight up on the roof: That Lauren only told the moon, tonight up on the roof. Her sun only told the moon.
“He told me that he’s scared that all his thoughts they look like you”
Remember earlier that Mila said she was waiting for the moon to lean in close one day to tell her that? [I said one day because Mila used the future: I’ll wait for the moon to lean in close. Meaning: it hadn’t happened yet. She was still just hoping for it]. This means that it was the moon that was talking here. He told me that he’s scared that all his thoughts they look like you: He (the sun, Lauren) told me (the moon) that he’s (Lauren’s) scared that all his (Lauren’s) thoughts they look like you (Camila).
I know that many understood that that he was the sun. I also know that many thought it was the actual sun that was talking to the moon. I know they thought that Mila talked to the moon, Laur to the sun, and that the moon and sun talked to each other by then exchanging that same information to the girls, but that’s not the case. I highly doubt the sun could be found talking to the moon tonight up on the roof. During a lunar eclipse (since they occur in the night)? More likely, but I doubt Mila implied that. Talking tonight up on the roof is a metaphor that indicates something that a person would do when alone and in secret because away from prying ears; meaning: a confession. In this case, as I’ve already told you, confession to whom? Only Told the Moon, aka the fulcrum of the entire song.
So the actual sun had nothing to do with it here and it was the moon that talked in the first person through Camila’s hope. Ergo, something that hadn’t really happened. Mila was waiting for the moon to one day tell her that Laur, and therefore her personification of the sun, had also gone ‘up on the roof’ one night to confide in her, the moon itself. Mila was waiting for the moon to one day lean in close to tell her what? That Laur, her sun, only told her, the moon, that she was scared that all her thoughts they looked like Mila.
Mila speaking: And I’ll (Camila) wait for the moon to lean in close and say [Say what?=] that he (the sun, Lauren) only told the moon, tonight up on the roof. Moon speaking: He (Lauren) told me (the moon) that he’s (Lauren’s) scared that all his (Lauren’s) thoughts they look like you (Camila).
Information passing: Camila was talking to the moon. Camila hoped that her sun (Lauren) would also talk to the moon. The moon was talking to Camila, and for Camila’s hope, also with Lauren, aka her sun.
“I only told the moon, about the way you move
I asked her to please tell me if you tell this to her too”
And back to Camila speaking again. I (Mila) asked her (moon) to please tell me (Mila) if you (Lo) tell this to her (moon) too. Different from I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too that we find in the first two choruses. The difference is that, if first Mila asked the moon to tell her if Laur talked about things with her too (if you tell things to her too: things in general), here she asked her to tell her specifically if Lo talked to her about Mila too. About the way Mila moves and if she was scared that all her thoughts they looked like Mila (if you tell this to her too: the exact same things Mila talked about with the moon).
Basically, Mila was hoping that sooner or later the moon would’ve told her in secret that Laur had also confided in her by telling her that all she did was think about Mila too.
Outro:
“That I give it all to you, I give it all to you, I give it all to you
We only told the moon
He, he, ha he, he, ha he
We only told the moon”
Well, well, well. Would you look at that 😏. Putting aside the connection between the second verse and a part of the second chorus that I’ve already explained to you, and the singing part that I added myself, what do we have here? Mila finally knew that Lo too had the same thoughts and the same fears as her. We only told the moon. Literally, it means they both only told the moon, buuut, what the hell is going on? Wasn’t Mila just hoping that Lo would also confide in the moon sooner or later until the third chorus? What had changed?
Their situation. Their situation had changed. They’d gotten back together and that’s why Mila knew and could say with certainty that they only told the moon. We only told the moon was simply another indicator of the time that had passed. The last indicator of the time that had passed! Lyrically speaking, Mila explains that they’d gotten back together and that for that reason, Laur told her that she’d confided in the moon too. The hope that her sun would also talk about her to the moon had become reality. WITH ONLY FIVE WORDS!! 🤯🤯🤯 MASTERMIND! SHE. IS. BRILLIANT.!!!!! 🔥
Remember that when I told you about XO (I Don’t Miss Ya), Cry for Me, Must Be Love, Used to This, and Closure, I told you that Only Told the Moon is the last song (so far) that encompasses that chapter before they got back together? Mila started writing it when she thought it was really over between them. When she thought she’d lost her for real. When her hope was fading more and more. This was the last song of acceptance and hope in getting back together with her before actually getting back together with her. And the following year, when she by then had already been back with her for some time, she finished it by being able to insert the happy ending as well. One of the best-hidden things in my opinion 🤩.
Mila used these riddles, these games with sentences, with the various meanings behind them, and, above all, with personal pronouns, with the sole purpose of trying to confuse the ideas for anyone who listened to the song; as I also told you in the first chorus. She only used four subjects in the song, but she twisted pronouns and meanings on purpose. For most of the song, there was: the moon, she/her – the sun, aka Lauren, he - Lauren, you - and lastly Camila herself, I/me. The amazing thing, is that she managed to perfectly confuse things. Like for example the fact that she used the you for Lauren in order not to make it clear that she was talking about a girl. For fear that people who wouldn’t understand that with she/her she meant the moon and not a girl, she also inserted the he, which however, in this case, was the sun aka Lo, and not a guy. A motherfucking genius, I told you! 😍😍😍 And all this at just 17 years old with no professional help from fucking anyone!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Last thing before I go. Something that my baby @romanticentropy reminded me of because I was way too focused on seeing things in that year (2014). This beautiful song, also has a lil connection with another unreleased song that Mila wrote in 2018: Taxi. “We’ll tell the moon when we’re old. The greatest love story that’s never been told”.
That We’ll tell the moon when we’re old, is connected to this We only told the moon. This makes us understand that Camren only told the moon about them since 2014, they’ve continued and continue to do so now in the present, and will continue to tell the moon about their greatest love story that’s never been told even when they’re old. The little hope that Mila gave me is the fact that she didn’t insert the only there that time. So maybe, MAYBE they won’t tell their greatest love story only to the moon 😍🤞🏼🙏🏼. But 🤫🤐.
🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀
Aaand that’s it 😉. This is my interpretation. The way I solved the riddles 🧐. I hope you liked it, and I hope I didn’t cause too many headaches 😅🤭🤣. See you next time 😘.
Remember to be nice. Always. Both with others and with yourselves. Be a good example. Be patient. Be safe and take care of yourselves. Don’t let our ship sink. Keep shipping them, but please respectfully 🙏🏼. Sending you virtual love and hugs 🤗🤗🤗. I love you, babies. Always with love, F ❤️.
P.S. happy valentine’s day to all of you, my babies 🌹🌹🌹 (it’s already past midnight here 🙃). But happy valentine’s day to you especially, baby 👭🏻💓 [@romanticentropy]. It’s been exactly one year since we chatted for the very first time:

Help 3 friends out
Hey babies, hi 👋🏼😄
This is a small update, a thank you, and an encouragement to continue or start for those who haven’t already, to help two of our Tumblr friends and myself.
For those who don’t know, our friend @mazes-and-the-madness / @life-love-literature, my love @romanticentropy, and I, have been unfairly ‘robbed’. @mazes-and-the-madness / @life-love-literature (you can see her original work here) from the YouTube channel called Kellyzzlee CS (the same one who stole every single analysis from @karlaswine by passing it off as their own) with their analysis on Prelude. My baby @romanticentropy from the YouTube channel called Chonops Production with her analysis on Thinkin’ ‘Bout One, and I, both from una_camren_shipper_mas / Fernanda Lieberher (Instagram), and from Camren Con Tortilla (Facebook, and most likely also Twitter, but their profile it’s private and I couldn’t see if it’s there too – They even dared to put their account name on my stolen collage 😒).
To help @mazes-and-the-madness / @life-love-literature, just click here, or go to the Kellyzzlee CS’ YouTube channel, click on playlist, and then on ANALISIS ALBUM PRELUDE:
Open the first one of the videos to report by clicking on the three dots:
Choose spam or misleading. If you do it with your phone, then it ends there, but if you do it with your computer, then you also have to choose scams or frauds:
Which also gives you the opportunity to give the reasons/details for which you’re reporting the video:
And then the game is done:
To help my girl, just click here, or go to Chonops Production’s YouTube channel and look for the video I circled below:
Then follow the same procedure I explained earlier, and it’s done:
To help me against Camren Con Tortilla, just click here, or go to their Facebook page. Once you’ve found my collage, open the pic, click on the three dots, and then on report post:
Choose spam:
Send or submit:
And then done and that’s it:
To help me against una_camren_shipper_mas / Fernanda Lieberher, just click here, or go to her Instagram account. Once you’ve found the post with my pics, open it, click on the three dots, and then on report:
You can choose either spam or scam or fraud because both are okay:
And the game is also done here:
My Italian sister @delusionalunicorn78 also informed me of this small addition:
But maybe una_camren_shipper_mas / Fernanda Lieberher hasn’t understood yet. She still hasn’t understood that I want my pics gone. What part of I don’t want my things outside of here is so hard to understand? Or as @athenrose says, follow the ‘Vegas rules’. Is it that hard for real? And plus, what? Did she think she’d fixed everything with that addition? AH! That’s really funny. I don’t give a shit about credits at all. Especially after stealing them (the pics)! And the funniest thing was seeing the other thief’s name in the credits 🤦🏻♀️. I want both thieves to delete them. It’s as simple as that.
So, babies, please help us stop these people 🙏🏼 because it’s not fair. And unlike IG, you can report those posts as many times as you want. Remember that the more reports are accumulated (I don’t know how many exactly are needed) the more the social network concerned is required to take action by shutting the post/video down.
Thank you all in advance. And thanks to everyone who has already helped and will continue to do so. Thank you for the support, thank you for the patience, and thank you for being here ❤.
If you need help in reporting someone else or help in general with anything, don’t hesitate to ask me. I’m here for each and everyone of you. I like to believe we’re a little CS family here on Tumblr, so, for real, I’m here for you.
I love you, my babies 🥰🤗 and thank you again.
Thank you so much, mi amor ❤️❤️❤️ you’re the best!!!
@romanticentropy
@fa-by so so so so same!!
All done, buddy! Thanks for the step by step help on how to report, too. I hope these get taken down.
Guys! Please spare me a time and help. Thank you very much, lovelies.

HAHAHAHA WHY IS THIS SOOO LEGIT
Hey babies and dear Anons 👋🏼🤗. Welcome to a new ‘Q&A’ post. I finally answered all (37) asks in my inbox. Many of them are old and for this, I apologize because it took me a long time for the AMA’s 2018 post as you know. But now here we are, and I hope you can forgive me for the delay. Enjoy 🙃.
And you believe them just like that? Where’s the proof of that? My dear Anon, a piece of advice from my heart? Don’t believe anything until you see it, and when you do see it, always personally check that information for authenticity. This also applies to the things that all those people, the fake insiders, out there say.
As for your question, I’ve already answered it a lot of times. And like the many previous times, I’ll copy and paste for you the same answer I gave to an Anon some time ago: “And to answer the rest of your questions, dear, I’ll sum it all up by telling you that when they’re not together, or they’re on a break, they have a different way of acting than when they’re together. And I speak in general. It shows in the way they behave in general. Now it’s much harder to see since they’re no longer in the group and you could clearly see when it happened, and it’s also hard since the pandemic, but there are patterns. I’ve spent so much time analyzing them that they’re quite predictable in my eyes 🤣”.
I’ll also copy this other part of the same answer to another Anon: “As Lauren herself tweeted, pay attention. That’s all I’m gonna say, dear. See this mine not giving you more details than these as my way to protect them.”
I’m sorry, dear Anon, it’s not for you. Maybe you’re new to my blog, but I hope this is the last time I have to copy the same answer because my answer won’t change anyway.
You sent me this ask the same night as Colors was released, so I think you now know that the reason was because Laur’s independent, dear Anon. It was up to her to advertise it.
Songs: Curious (penultimate ask) and Bad Kind of Butterflies. And posts: fourth question, first four questions, sixth question, and second, third, and fifth questions.
It’s okay. Don’t worry, dear Anon 😄.
1) Her contract with Sony isn’t over, dear Anon. Even AWAL is owned by Sony Music Entertainment.
2) The rules haven’t changed.
3) Nope, as you may have noticed (regarding yogurt majesty). They’ll continue to alternate as they always have.
My answer would’ve been yes even before the good news, dear Anon.
Already done 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Who told you they don’t travel or go to each other’s house or other things like that, dear Anon? I agree on the difficulty of not being able to have any public interaction, but not on the rest. We only see 5/10% of their life, and of that 5/10%, we only see what they want to show us. And yes, that includes stunts and paparazzi pics.
I also agree when you say that it’s hard to maintain a relationship in that way, and believe me, told by someone who’s in a long-distance relationship and therefore worse than theirs, I can assure you that it is. But it’s worth it, and it’s up to the two people in the couple to stay strong until a better solution/situation 💪🏼.
We think the same way, dear Anon 😏. And yes, we all love Thunder content 🤩, but don’t forget Eugene and Leo. I know Thunder is her favorite, but every time she leaves the newest comer (Eugene, not Tarzan who, sadly, was adopted more for PR than anything else) and the oldest (Leo) out, I feel sorry for them 🥺.
It will depend on how things are going to be in the future, dear Anon. If they can do everything in the right way, then yes. But the point is, we don’t even know if they’ll want to do it 🤷🏻♀️. I’ll copy a piece of an old answer (penultimate question) I gave to an Anon about Mila’s coming out to make you understand better what I mean and how I think about it:
“Not to mention that her coming out would confirm Camren even more, even if she doesn’t confirm it herself. It’s automatic. Let’s leave for a moment out us CS who know this and focus on the general public. After years and years of speculation from fans and the press, even the GP would automatically associate them. The fact in itself that both sides are queer, would automatically make the GP think, so to people who know little or nothing about them, that they were actually real and were just trying to hide it. And that, as fine as it might be for us, wouldn’t be fine for them.
If they don’t want to come out as a couple, if they don’t even want to admit that they were in the past, then that wouldn’t be fine for them at all. It would be even more difficult to hide and deny it. They would be harassed even more by fans, by the media, and not only their music would take a back seat, but even themselves. The couple, Camren, would be in the foreground. They would no longer be two individual persons, but one entity. Have you ever thought about it? Because as much as I myself want both of them free, as much as I myself want them free and free to be together, I know that if they want to have a career, then this won’t happen for SEVERAL years. Fifteen years could go by, and if they ever really admit it, they might not even be together by then.
I’m sorry to ruin you guys’ fantasies, but I’m just trying to be objective and realistic here. This is not a fanfiction. This is their life. Their careers are at stake here. And as much as I love them, I’d rather see Camila out of the closet, but not associated with Lauren and vice versa if it means dooming their careers. As much as I love them, I’d rather see them both free from their contracts, free to do what they love without pressure, and to know that they’re together and happy in PRIVATE”.
1) She could use it even before if she wanted to, dear Anon. The fact that she’s independent now has absolutely nothing to do with it. And yeah, that excuse was bullshit, but the reason she stopped using it, both of them actually, is because everyone knew what their account names were. They signed up when they weren’t famous yet, but even after that, it was a ‘private’ place (outside of being famous) for them in which to be themselves and express their feelings through re-blogs. It was no longer private by then and therefore they simply stopped using it.
2) Maybe she created another account that year, but I honestly doubt it because she just doesn’t use it (both of them). And no, they don’t check CS blogs. When they have to check something, if they still do it, they do it on Twitter, IG, and now that’s the new trend, TikTok. Tumblr is basically non-existent for that purpose if not the last place on the list, and for years now.
3) I miss them too, but they won’t do that because they know we’re waiting for nothing else.
Hello, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. Neither. They were very confused because that year more than ever, they had a very constant on-again, off-again. They were together in hops through time. Like, they broke up even just for a few days 😅. Not to mention they didn’t communicate at all, and Tumblr, was one of their indirect ways of doing it.
Have a great day too, dear 😊.
Hi to you too, baby CS Anon 👋🏼. Welcome 😄. And yes, they are, dear.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 all for you, dear Anon.
🎤📢🎶 Boy, nothing real can be threatened 🎶 True love breathes salvation back into me 🎶 With every tear came redemption 🎶 And my torturer became my remedy 🎶
I love Beyoncé 🤩. Hi to you, my dear 👋🏼😄. And yes, same because, among all the lyrics of the songs in Lemonade, they tweeted oh so coincidentally the same ones 🤣 *shaking my head*
Hi, dear Anon 👋🏼😄 Suppp to u, bud 🤜🏼🤛🏼. They were still together and here, bud, I already answered here (tenth question). [This is the Anon link for those who want to see]
Hi to you, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. Here, dear. I talked about it here, and here.
And, my dear? Even though Laur’s independent now, it doesn’t mean she has the freedom to do whatever she wants on every front. She’s not PRs-free, and she certainly doesn’t have the freedom to say those relationships were fake. It would affect the people involved, the teams, the whole music industry as a big picture, and herself because she’d lose credibility on everything she said and continues to say (her narratives on everything including the songs). That would mean having to look for new justifications that would even involve Camila, and that, is something that absolutely cannot happen. Not to mention that she signed contracts involving NDAs which she is and will continue to be required to comply with.
Hi to you, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. The pandemic changed 80% of the plans, dear. It shouldn’t have been like that. Unfortunately, we’ll never have confirmation, and honestly, I don’t even care because the important thing is that it’s over 🥳.
Hello, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. I could be better 😅, but I hope you’re well 😊.
For both questions: it depends on the time concerned, dear. They both did both, so, it really does depend. Like, for example, Mila was the one who broke up with Laur in mid-December 2016, and it was still Mila who started the reconciliation in February 2017.
Hey hey to you, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. English isn’t my first language either, dear, so don’t worry 😊.
I agree with you that every now and then she checks what happens, but there are more the times when she doesn’t. It actually always happens when it’s a good period for her mentally speaking, but she then regrets it because of all the hatred she receives for even the stupidest things. As for the “Don’t Go Yet” Official Lyrics & Meaning with Genius, I genuinely think she was following the script and she messed up the narrative just because it’s all bullshit and she doesn’t always remember everything perfectly 🤣. It happened several times and this time, she even had to improvise a lot to try to fix it, but she only made things worse 🤭🤣. Poor baby 🙈. That’s Camila being Camila 🤩 and I was honestly happy to see several glimpses of her old self and that she talked about Laur in an obviously subtle and implied way.
Hello to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄.
1) They’re still planting the seeds; I highly doubt it’s Mila.
2) Yep.
3) Because even though Laur’s free on certain aspects of her career, Mila is not, and there are rules to follow. Plans to follow.
Don’t we all love Mila the ‘stalker’? 🤣. No, but jokes aside. This will be put aside as soon as they can finally unarchive their hidden follow 🥳.
It’s frustrating at times, yeah 🤷🏻♀️🤣.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 they did were actually together, dear Anon. I’m really glad you noticed it, but out of curiosity, did you understand it only because they disappeared from the radars and for the latergrams, or even for something else that you don’t wanna say to protect them as I do? I don’t need to know what, I’m just curious to know if you did it or not.
As for the fans who don’t understand, it’s unfortunately because they’re too blinded to see the truth through the narratives that are set. Many don’t even care about the truth because it doesn’t validate what they believe.
Their coming out as a couple I think is a hope for all of us 😍, but it’s a little too early for that. It’ll be a while before they can do this in a friendly way, so let alone as a couple.
Oh and, I agree on their privacy 🙃.
Hi to you, dear Anon 👋🏼😄.
1) If you mean with Shrunken, it’s already over as you well know 🥳 / If you mean as a couple, then you have to wait for a veeery long time.
2) I don’t think she’s signed a new contract at all, dear.
3) 2022.
I think now you know because it’s been a while since your ask and because Prelude came out and now you have the lyrics, dear Anon. But in any case, I’m telling you the same because one never knows. The ones you wrote, are incorrect lyrics. The right ones are these: “as you drag your hand to my waist down my back”. It makes more sense now, doesn’t it? 🙃
Hi to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. I could be better actually 😅. What about you? I hope you’re well 🤗.
Super recap: the mystery girl was basically the one with whom Mila was together before taking Laur back by becoming official in April 2014. You can check out all the links I wrote in response to that other Anon before in the third ask to see also other answers I gave on the subject 🙃.
Don’t thank me, dear, it’s always a pleasure for me to help as I can 😊.
Hi to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. The mystery girl didn’t help her forget Lauren because as soon as Laur finally got her head out of her ass (🤣), Mila broke up with the mystery girl and took Lo back. Mila tried to move on when Laur still couldn’t give her what she wanted (a relationship), but she didn’t succeed 🤷🏻♀️. *I’m sorry for the girl, but 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼* And yeah, in a way, the mystery girl appeared at just the right moment for Mila.
Hi to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. I don’t know if she expressly asked her to be her girlfriend, I mean, I wasn’t there 🤣. I just know that the Like Friends Do situation was no longer okay for her, and as a result of that, as you said too, Lauren felt pressured at the idea. Our Lolo wasn’t ready yet.
And that’s okay. That’s your opinion. You’d already explained it and I explained to you that it’s not like that for me because for me, the song is based on the sex and the friendship with benefits they’ve had.
Hi to you again, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. He didn’t have a big impact on her life afterwards, in her life in general, for sure, but he did have it when it happened. We know Laur is an empath, so if she said she was devastated after the breakup because she couldn’t even eat and sleep, I really believe it. Especially because she was that young and it was her first breakup. I believe it even more because I know what it means to face the first real breakup at that young age.
But as I also said to the previous Anon, it’s okay if you think differently. We’re all different in the world and we perceive things in a different way. That’s also the beauty of it 😊. Not so good but I hope you’re doing well instead, dear, and have a nice day 🙃.
Hi to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. And yes, you’re absolutely right. When I wrote the Prelude’s answers, Prelude wasn’t out yet and I’d only watched the live performance, so I didn’t know all the lyrics perfectly yet. Now I think we all know them, but thank you very much for taking some of your time to point that out by sending me the ask, my dear 🤗.
Hi to you too, baby CS Anon 👋🏼😄. I will, dear. I will clarify everything once and for all by making a separate post for your ask exactly as I did with the AMA’s one because people in our fandom and not, still believe that the leaked things were true. Exactly as with the AMA’s post, I ask you and all you babies who are reading this, to respect my decision on not wanting my stuff outside of Tumblr and if you really have the need to publish it elsewhere, then please ASK ME before doing so (including even just the proofs). Please and thanks in advance 🙏🏼. Having said that, you’ll have it soon, dear 😉.
Hi to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄! Sorry, dear, I’m genuinely confused here 😅. Why would you want me to analyze a song she didn’t write? It’s like you’re asking me to give you my interpretation of Diane’s point of view/life. Unlike Mila who acted as a ghostwriter after giving Anyone to Justin, Laur didn’t write a single word of Not Prepared For You unlike other previous collaborations she did. She just interpreted it. I mean, you said it yourself, and both Lo and Diane said it during that interview. So, I’m genuinely confused for real. Although it could fit the girls, and I’m sure it was that and the fact that THE Diane Warren wrote it the main reasons why Lo agreed to sing it, what would be the point of analyzing the song if it’s not her words, dear?
HI to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄. Yeah, I noticed what you did there, dear, and thank you 😁. I really appreciate it 🤗. I prefer to think that those who don’t greet before the question, do so because they’re new to my blog and therefore don’t know that I get a little disappointed when they don’t. Besides being a matter of manners, it’s also a matter of respect. People tend to ignore this and take it for granted, but you never know what the other person is going through behind the screen. You can’t even know what their mood is at that moment, and if it’s bad, I assure you that some asks at that moment tend to even seem demands. It’s kinda like those people who walk into a coffee shop or a restaurant and say what they want without even greeting the workers and sometimes even banging the money on the counter/table, you know what I mean? I hate those kinds of people 😒.
So, yeah, as I believe you know, I’m a person who always tries to treat everyone with respect and kindness, and that’s why I expect the same in return. You can also notice the difference in my answers by comparing them to who greets and who doesn’t because, again, it’s a matter of mutual manners and respect. And if it happens that I haven’t been that nice to someone, then it’s because they weren’t to me in the first place. People tend to, I don’t know, perhaps forget that on the other side of the screen there’s an actual human being like them, and they should wake up for a moment and be aware of it because this is something I’ve been seeing all over the internet for years. But anyway. Be nice, guys, and be aware of what you type and how you address others, please. Being nice costs you nothing, and something like that, can make a difference in someone’s life who’s going through a bad period 🙏🏼.
Now about your questions, my dear, it’s totally okay for me to answer 🙃. Even in the future, if you have any other personal questions, or you want advice, or you want to vent, or anything else, I’m here. I’m available to answer without any problem 😊.
1) Fluently, Italian of course because it’s my mother tongue, and English. I also studied Spanish and French in high school. I understand almost everything when I listen to Spanish and I can also read it. Write it, I’d say meh, and speak it, well, let’s say I can manage. When I went to Barcelona (twice) I did quite well, and with my love, I speak it every now and then (a few words or phrases). With French instead, much less in everything. I remember the basics, but besides those? Nah. The last time I was in France (because I’ve been there several times in different cities) it was a mix of French and English 🤭.
2) We text a lot every day. We send each other audios, videos, pics, and when we can, we video call each other and we spend hours and hours talking. Sometimes if we each have something to do, we do it anyway by staying on video call because it’s as if we’re together in the same room. With distance, communication is basically all we have, so that’s what we do. We talk. About anything. From what we’ve done during the day and therefore everyday life, to more stupid things, deeper things, our fears, our feelings, our passions, etc., etc. Really about anything. There are no secrets between us.
It’s really hard not to be able to see her, not gonna lie. There are days when it’s really unbearable not to be able to have her with me, but I resist. We both do and stay strong. And, actually, we’re counting the days because we’ll see each other 😍. If everything goes well, we’ll see each other next year, and I can’t fucking wait 🥳.
3) It will depend on their schedules, but I believe they’ll be able to see each other.
4) Mila in 2022 for sure, while Laur, even though she said it will be in 2022, I never blindly trust the dates she says given her past with them 🤣. I hope it will be in 2022 for real as she said, otherwise it will be in 2023.
Not super healthy at the moment but okay. I’m glad you liked it, and thank you so much for the kind words 🙈; that was really very nice of you 🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰. You’re the awesome one 😉! And please, don’t thank me because it’s really a pleasure for me to help in any way I can 😊. I hope you’re healthy and have a good day too, my dear Anon, and I love you too 😘. Oh and, about that babe? Run 🤣🤣🤣.
Hi to you too, dear Anon 👋🏼😄.
1) Yes, I do. I don’t know why you have doubts about it, dear, but it’s an injustice because, as a bisexual girl myself, we’re always questioned about it. When a person says they’re bisexual, then they’re actually a selfish person, a liar, indecisive because they’ll have to choose a side in the end, easy, and even greedy because they’re attracted to both genders. They’re not a ‘good dating material’ because they’re ‘scared of commitment’, and they’re just confused and looking for attention. If a guy says he’s bi, then he’s actually gay, and if a girl says she’s bisexual, then either she’s actually a lesbian but declares herself bi because she’s not ready to admit it, or she’s actually straight and hers is just a phase and that therefore will end up with a guy anyway. Like.. no. That’s not how it works. My sexuality doesn’t change based on who I’m with, I’m monogamous, not polygamous, and I don’t choose who to be attracted to because unlike actions, it’s not something you can control, and it’s totally natural and normal.
There are people who are attracted both emotionally and sexually to both genders. There are those who are sexually bi but who are romantically straight, that is that they would sleep with both girls and guys because they’re sexually attracted to both of them, but that would have a romantic relationship only with the opposite gender. There are those who are sexually pan but romantically gay, that is that they would sleep with someone no matter what gender they are as long as they’re sexually attracted to them, but that would have a romantic relationship only with the same gender. There are billions of examples I could give you because sexuality is very fluid and can change over the course of life. I mean, it’s such a wide spectrum 🤷🏻♀️. There are people who already know their sexuality right away. There are those who know it, but who have never acted on it because there hasn’t yet been an opportunity and others perhaps out of fear. There are those confused who still don’t know, etc., etc., and that’s okay.
Lauren went through various stages in her life. From denial and internalized homophobia, to welcoming and acceptance of herself. Bisexuality, and then for some years now, a bit of confusion between bisexuality and pansexuality because she didn’t know what the latter was before. And that’s totally fine and that’s normal because as I said before, sexuality in general is very fluid and can change over the course of life. There’s no need to put all this pressure on having a defined label at all costs. So, dear Anon, back to your question, yes, I do. I truly believe that.
2) Nope. Luckily, not everything in her life is (🤣).
3) Yeeeep.
Yeah, we have confirmation of that, dear Anon. But no, don’t put Mila in the middle of this because their careers and choices are different. Laur didn’t need Mila’s connections or money to create Attunement Records.
A small standard independent record label like hers, can easily be started with little, anywhere between $20.000 and $50.000. This type of label is like a micro-company with which she can manage the money flow and the rights administration. By creating it, she opened a company in her name and transferred the master rights to that record label, which is herself. The AWAL Recordings America, Inc. [AWAL: Artists Without A Label], is a music distribution company owned by Sony Music Entertainment, which offers indeed, distribution and other services to independent artists and labels. Thanks to signing with them, Laur also owns the publication. This means that she owns her masters and her publishing, that she has more profits on distribution and publishing, and that she can also handle the functions of the actual label since, I mean, it’s hers. Physical and digital distribution are AWAL’s duties, but everything else like for example the money investment, advertising, marketing, promotional, legal costs, video production, tour support, etc., belong to her. [If you’re interested in understanding more of what I’m talking about and what the girls went through, I wrote a post on How the music world works]
I understand the fantasy of the two of them fighting those people and creating their own empire on a rainbow, but despite being a beautiful image, it’s not the reality. By that, I mean that I don’t believe and that I very much doubt that Mila will become independent. They both have different visions for their careers. Different plans and different goals. Not to mention that they both have income for different things and both have a lot of connections, which yes, very linked to one another because, at the end of the day, that’s the music industry. But they’re both businesswomen. They can help each other if they want, but they don’t need it. I don’t know if I explained myself with this.
And don’t get me wrong, of course their plans are intertwined. Besides being connected forever by their past with the group, they are in the present as a couple, and they’ll surely have plans for the future (like all couples). This, however, doesn’t mean that they’ll face the same path. Think of it as a couple of doctors. They both work in the same hospital, but they don’t carry out the same tasks because they’re both specialize in two different things, and at the end of the day, they return to the same house anyway to enjoy their life together.
So according to this person, Lauren’s not creative, she doesn’t go with the flow, she’s not intuitive, she’s not a nurturing person, she’s not a healer, she doesn’t listen, she’s not an open-minded and flexible person, she’s not gentle, she’s not wise, she’s not patient, she’s not a people pleaser, she’s not empathetic, and she doesn’t express her feelings, right? Yeah, no, sure, because, this little list I just gave you? Represents the traits of the divine feminine energy 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.
As I think you’ve understood, I strongly disagree, dear Anon. And not because I think Laur is divine feminine energy, but because she’s both! Whoever wrote that, must have forgotten (or doesn’t know it at all) that we all have a mix of both, and that the divine masculine and feminine energies are connected to each other. One cannot exist without the other. The yin and the yang? Same thing. Nothing can be completely yin or completely yang. We also have many other opposites that coexist with each other, such as for example life and death, good and evil, summer and winter, heat and cold, day and night, light and darkness. The latter reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black: “The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are”. Sorry, but I had to 🤭.
If that’s why, it’s the same thing we can find in the hemispheres of our brain:
Left side/hemisphere: the technical, more logical, and analytical one. For example, when we do a mathematical calculation, we read, write, or simply speak. This side’s associated with verbal communication and reasoning, and in the divine energies, it’s associated with the masculine one.
Right side/hemisphere: the visual, more artistic, and spiritual one. For example, when we draw, sing, dance, or anyway unleash creativity and artistic skills. This side’s associated with emotional (and non-verbal) communications and emotionality, and in the divine energies, it’s associated with the feminine one.
What does that mean? That one part of the brain shuts down or goes on vacation while the other’s working 🤣? No. They always work in sync. For instance. I can sing while listening to music (right hemisphere) and, at the same time, write, and think and reason (left hemisphere) about what I’m writing. You can dance (right hemisphere) and talk (left hemisphere) at the same time. Just as one day you can be undecided (feminine energy trait) about what to eat and let someone else decide, but at the same time, you’re a bit controlling (masculine energy trait) with them because you want that what they’ve decided is being cooked in a certain way. Then the next day, you not only have it very clear (masculine energy trait) what you want, but you’re also quite creative (feminine energy trait) in preparing something for the both of you.
So, as you’ve seen, the divine masculine and feminine energies are complementary. You may have more traits of one than the other or it may depend on your mood or the day you’re having, but they’re interconnected. And we all have them. You can even think of a scale and how the traits of the two divine energies are on the two pans of it. Sometimes the weight is more on one pan than on the other. And when the weight is completely unbalanced, therefore the divine energies are out of balance, people like Laur who are very spiritual, try to fix it even with external aids like healing crystals, meditation, and being in nature. Three types of alternative therapy. Doesn’t that ring a bell?
Besides, “Lauren is the Divine Masculine confirmed”. Confirmed? Pfft, confirmed by whom? Confirmed by themselves who apparently don’t even know the traits of the divine energies? Ah, okay then 🤷🏻♀️ *I’m sorry if I looked a little bit mean here, but I don’t understand the point of talking just to talk without knowing. Plus, I’m very protective of the girls as I think is noticeable*
“She’s the runner, she’s the track star and that’s exactly why This Love was born.”
Aaand I disagree on this as well. Lauren was the runner. She was the runner at the beginning. When they were just fuckbuddies and she wasn’t ready to accept herself yet. Camila was also the runner. They’ve both been during their relationship at different times and for different reasons. This Love was absolutely not born for that. It doesn’t even talk about that. I’ll copy two parts of my interpretation (last ask):
““In your opinion, what inspired it?”. Well, in my opinion, their toxic, co-dependent relationship. Many of their songs are about this, and This Love is no less. This Love talks about the instability that their relationship had and the repetition of their actions that led them more and more to fall into that toxicity. They were addicted to each other, and therefore couldn’t let each other go. In one way or another, their unhealthy way of acting led them to always be stuck in the same limbo (until they finally got out of it).” + “In addition to what I’ve already explained to you at the beginning and during my interpretation, I’d like to add that This Love is a manifestation of the frustration that Mila went through. A scream to say “enough, I can’t take it anymore”, and at the same time, the surrender on falling back into the same cycle because she couldn’t lose her. In a nutshell, with this, we witnessed the contrast, the struggle, and the contradiction of her own behavior.”
Yeah, I can, dear Anon. No problem 😄.
So. As I explained in a very old post from which I’ll copy and paste pieces, “Consequences was initially written by Emily Weisband, Amy Wadge, and Nicolle Galyon. Emily already knew both of them, while Amy and Nicolle met that same day during the session that took place in December 2016. The idea of Consequences was born because of what had happened to Emily the day before. It was her experience that brought the song to life.” As you can see in this video.
“Amy and Ed Sheeran had been friends for years and had already worked together in the past. It was indeed Ed who introduced Amy and Camila. After getting permission from Emily and Nicolle, Amy took the song to Camila (on January 5 or 6). Camila then, as she always did with EVERY SONG, rewrote part of the lyrics, by also working on it with Frank himself and Bart Schoudel, and on January 8, 2017, they finished recording it.” Mila herself explained everything briefly at 33:18 here. And this; the screenshot of the video she posted on the 8th:
Consequences was Mila’s breaking point (it happened in the period before making the final decision to break up with Laur). That cycle and toxic relationship with Laur was hitting her too hard, and along with all the other things she was going through in that period (last months of 2016) [which I’ll explain in the interpretation], Mila realized she couldn’t take it anymore. All those consequences had a too powerful impact that even affected her mental and physical health.
In the musical timeline, Consequences comes before Let Me Know and Something’s Gotta Give. In Consequences, Mila realized she couldn’t take it anymore. In Let Me Know, Laur, who was also tired of the cycle going on for years, asked Mila to let her know if she wanted to fix their problems and have a healthier relationship. And in Something’s Gotta Give (song not only centered on Lauren), Mila made the decision to leave everything behind; so let’s say the answer to Let Me Know. Oh and, the effects of the Consequences lasted even after Something’s Gotta Give, therefore even after they broke up.
Let’s move on to the interpretation now 🙃.
Verse 1:
“Dirty tissues, trust issues
Glasses on the sink, they didn’t fix you”
The way I see it, Mila wasn’t talking about herself in the first verse as everyone thought, but she was describing what she saw and felt. I’ll use an example to explain. I want you to imagine a scenario. In this case, the same one that Expectations talks about because to me, they’re actually the same song (Consequences & Expectations). In the sense that they’re the different points of view of the girls based on the same situation.
Mila returned to their hotel room after being out well beyond the time she’d told Laur, who had been up in bed, all alone, waiting there all night for her. The first thing Mila saw upon entering, were the dirty tissues on the bedside table next to the bed (where Laur was) and the glasses on the sink in the bathroom. Why’s that? Because I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed this, but most hotels have bathrooms located near the entrance door (for a matter of separation of spaces and pipes which are all connected to each other in the hotel, and in cities affected by earthquakes, also for a matter of survival because it’s the best place to hide), so from the entrance, you can see both the bathroom, either on the left or on the right (but usually on the left), and the bed (and the view).
The dirty tissues are obviously an indication of crying, and the glasses on the sink, of alcohol. Why alcohol? Because she said “they didn’t fix you”, and she certainly wasn’t talking about water. People drink in a fun situation like a party, in happy hours and brunches, lunches and dinners, sometimes just to relax after a long day, and sometimes, when they’re going through a difficult time in their life. But alcohol doesn’t help to forget. It doesn’t make the pain go away. And it certainly doesn’t solve life’s problems. This is what Mila meant by fix. Drinking could be an escape and a distraction, but it couldn’t fix Laur and their toxic, non-communicative situation.
The dirty tissues and the glasses on the sink were even behavioral elements of the trust issues that Laur had and that Mila added. Laur’s trust issues were caused by several things: her emotional fatigue, her emotional distance, her anxiety, her depression, their communication problems, conflict dynamics (and not just those with Mila), hostile environments and people (sharks and fake people), and much more. All those years in which, as she also said in the 8th episode of her Attunements (dark diary), she felt nothing and everything at the same time.
Oh and, if that wasn’t enough, Trust Issue is also the title of an unreleased song by Laur.
“Lonely pillows in a stranger’s bed
Little voices in my head”
Mila continued to describe what was happening and what she was feeling.
“Lonely pillows” because Laur was alone in that big bed, and the second pillow wasn’t occupied by her. “in a stranger’s bed” because obviously by traveling, they were in hotels most of the time.
By “Little voices in my head” she was referring to the intrusive thoughts of her OCD. Have you ever noticed that when we read, when we write, and when we think, it’s our own voice the one we hear in our head? Well, it’s the same thing that happens with OCD, and Mila was listening to intrusive thoughts whispering to her, or talking to her, or even screaming to her in her mental voice just as it would happen to all of us with any other thought.
We know how strong her OCD was in the last months of 2016 (Sep to Dec 2016/early Jan 2017 to be more precise). Stress and emotional suffering are two reasons that trigger intrusive thoughts, and in that case, returning to that hotel room and seeing Laur in that way, caused her both stress and suffering which consequently triggered the intrusive thoughts.
But intrusive thoughts about what? On other of the many things that were causing her stress, anguish, and anxiety in that period:
“Secret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasn’t eating
All the souls that I can’t listen to, to tell the truth”
“Secret keeping, stop the bleeding” and “All the souls that I can’t listen to, to tell the truth” go together.
Secret keeping: her sexuality, their relationship, Laur’s PR with Luggage, her eventual exit from the group, and all the different hidden truths that she can’t tell yet.
stop the bleeding: bleeding has several metaphors, but for this case, we’re interested in two. We have 1) feeling emotional pain, and we have 2) reveal/unveil. Both are fine because 1) stop the pain, and 2) reveal/unveil the truth, in this case, the hidden truths.
Imagine those hidden truths like a cut on your arm. A small open wound. The more time goes by and those truths remain hidden, the more the wound grows and bleeds. Everyone can see that bloodstain now because, even though it’s covered by the clothes, the wound is too big and has stained the sleeve. Especially at that time, she needed to stop it. She needed to stop the pain and make sure she didn’t show it. Hiding it as another hidden truth with a large band-aid so that the clothes wouldn’t stain and that blood wouldn’t be shown. That way, no one could see it but it was still down there anyway.
All the souls that I can’t listen to: people who loved/love her, who wanted/want her free. Friends, family, and yes, even us fans. All the people she couldn’t/can’t listen to, to tell the truth: the connection with what I said before, that is, the different hidden truths that she still can’t tell.
Lost a little weight because I wasn’t eating: OCD, depression, and severe anxiety cause a loss of appetite or an increase in appetite because the body tries to help deal with the pressure. Mila’s experienced both. In the past it was the loss of it, from 2018 instead, the increase of it. C: “I have this pattern of eating a lot when I’m anxious or uncomfortable. It’s a comfort thing for me. I’ll just kind of become unconscious and zombie-eat a lot, and then I’ll feel sick.”
Chorus:
“Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses”
This describes the initial honeymoon phase perfectly. Wild, cool, hot, sweet, young because they really were, free, safe and sound, a steady place to let down my defenses. A beautiful list of things Laur made her feel. Plus the link with sunshine. If you’ve read my ‘Inauguration’ post some time ago, then you know Laur is the sun in their story.
“But loving you had consequences”
But loving her also had consequences. I’ll elaborate on this more at the end of the song.
Oh and, here there is the reference that we also find in Must Be Love: “I guess everything has a consequence”.
Verse 2:
“Hesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectation”
If they weren’t arguing, if they weren’t ignoring each other, and if they weren’t having sex, then they were trying to have a ‘normal’ conversation. But given their communication problems, which we know how big they were, there was that awkwardness and that hesitation in doing so. There was insecurity. Because in one way or another, they were afraid to even talk to each other. Afraid of saying something wrong when they did. Something that would’ve made their situation even worse, and that, plus other factors, automatically led to low expectations.
Oh and, by the way, say hi to the reference with that last lil word:
“Every siren that I was ignoring
I’m payin’ for it”
The siren is a warning. She used that slightly different way of saying that she ignored those sirens, those alarms, those signs, out of love. Toxic love that brought consequences for which she had to pay for a long time (both of them did). The present continuous also lets us understand how she continued to pay for them even after it was over (at the time) between them.
Then we have the chorus again, and to follow, the bridge where even here, as I explained in my This Love interpretation (last ask), she didn’t use the no’s as words to keep the rhythm, but as a way to express denial.
Different chorus:
“Loving you was dumb, dark, and cheap”
As in the original chorus, here too we have a list, but careful. She wasn’t talking about how Laur the person made her feel, but how that toxic situation she was in with Laur made her feel.
“Loving you will still take shots at me”
As with the present continuous as before, even the still from here lets us understand how she continued to pay the consequences even after it was over (at the time).
“Found loving you was sunshine, but then it poured”
Because, again, the situation had changed. It was toxic. It was no longer the initial honeymoon phase. This was the end.
“And I lost so much more than my senses”
When you think about the senses, you think mostly about the 5 most important ones, right? But sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste are not the only ones we have. We have the sense of thermoception with which we’re able to perceive hot and cold temperatures. We have the sense of pressure with which we’re able to perceive pressure on a specific area of the body. We have the one of proprioception with which we’re able to perceive the movement of the limbs and of our body. We have the sense of balance. We have the sense of tension (muscles tension and contraction). We have the sense of pain. We have the sense of time. We have the one of itching, the one of hunger, the one of thirst, and I mean, you get it, right?
And what if we lose more than one or all of them? We’d be completely lost. But is this what Mila meant by I lost so much more than my senses? Yes and no. Let’s focus on the meanings of losing senses now. We have: 1) fainting, 2) losing one’s mind, 3) unable to be found or recovered, 4) unable to find one’s way or ascertain one’s whereabouts, 5) confused, bewildered, or helpless, 5) morally fallen, and 6) destroyed physically.
So yeah. Mila meant that she was completely lost, but it was also more than that, as you could see from the various meanings. Her anxiety, her depression, her OCD, the eventual exit from the group, the sharks, the toxicity of the relationship with Laur, all the secrets, the pressure, the subterfuges, and everything she was going through at that time in 2016, led her to a point of total bewilderment and break. And I lost so much more than my senses: she’d lost herself and her mental and physical health.
“’Cause loving you had consequences
+ Outro:
Yeah, loving you”
Consequences are the results or unpleasant outcomes of an action; of something being done. Despite this, however, the song isn’t just about that. It doesn’t just talk about the bad and the ugly. It doesn’t just talk about the consequences. It also talks of the good and the beautiful that was before, and this, is an indication that there was no repentance or regret. The toxicity of their story at the time was part of those consequences that Mila suffered, for sure, but at the same time, she didn’t feel regret about how things had gone. Mila herself said it in the Zach Sang Show interview:
Zach: “When you love so deep and you love so hard, whoever may be, a friend, or a relative, a significant other, there are consequences. There’s baggage that comes along with that”.
Camila: “Mm-hmm *agreement*. But I love how in that song, there’s no regret in it”.
Zach: “Yes”.
Mila: “You know? It’s kind of just like acknowledging ‘yeah, now I’m dealing with the aftermath, but it’s not like I should’ve never—’. It was kind of like ‘this was so intense and crazy and now it sucks but, it was still- it was still worth it’”.
And that’s it, dear Anon 😊. In life, most things aren’t all good or all bad. It’s up to us to decide whether the good ones outweigh the bad ones or vice versa, and for Mila, even though being with Laur had also brought bad consequences, the love and the rest of the good things have always prevailed.
As I said in my Always Love interpretation (penultimate ask): “Mila used to say “I know I’d do it again if I could” every time she introduced Never Be the Same in the beginning (mostly in 2017), and Laur here is basically saying that having hurt each other more than once, in a way and in quotes, ‘it was fine’. ‘It was fine’ because, despite the pain in everything they’ve been through, theirs was love with a capital L. Without that pain, they wouldn’t have learned from their mistakes, and they wouldn’t have grown into themselves by helping each other and eventually meeting halfway to make their relationship work better. Everything, EVERYTHING, was worth it”.
Have a nice day too, dear 🤗.
For my favorite Romance song along with This Love? Of course 😄. With pleasure, dear Anon 😊.
Let’s start with clarifying for those who don’t know when Shameless was made. It wasn’t made in June after Señorita (not even Señorita was made in June if that’s why). Shameless was made on May 15, 2019. The stupid narrative is just that, stupid, and full of holes. I think you guys have realized by now that you never have to trust it, especially if Shitto was the one spreading it since he was the main protagonist of that PR.
Let’s move on to the facts:
Camila was with Matchbox from May 7 to 11, 2019, for the trip to Italy. From Los Angeles, California, to Venice, Italy, it takes 13/14 hours of flight, but it can also be 20/23 flight hours because it depends on how many stopovers there are. So she left on the 7th. The 8th:
and part of the 9th she was in Venice, and she went to Rome (from Venice to Rome it’s only about an hour’s flight) on the same day. She spent the whole day of the 10th in Rome, and the same evening or the next morning, she took the plane to Los Angeles by arriving on the 11th:
On May 13, 2019, was the last time they were photographed together (goodbye, Matryoshka 👋🏼):
On May 14, 2019, Mila was back in the studio, and that was the day she created Liar. When she finished Liar, and only 30 minutes before leaving the studio, she did the melody for the chorus of Shameless. The next day, which was May 15, 2019, she completed it. The date was further confirmed thanks to the behind of scenes of the song she posted on September 17, 2019, which showed that Mila was wearing the same clothes as the Insta-story posted on May 15:
One of the versions that Mila gave (you can see here min 0:55), was that Liar and Shameless were written on the same day just before the rehearsal of the Señorita music video, but she was lying through her teeth. You can tell from her body language. How she changed after saying left. “And I left”, she looked at the camera normally, “‘cause I had to go to rehearsal”, she moved her gaze and raised her eyebrows; ergo, big lie. You can use the 0.25 playback speed to notice it even more. And as if that wasn’t enough, we have the dates. The narrative says that Señorita was made fast in June and that the music video was shot even faster that same month, but that’s absolutely not true. Rehearsals took place on May 21 and 22, 2019, and the video was shot on May 23 and 24, 2019. On the last day of shooting (the 24th), Camila even posted an Insta-story by showing Sara Bivens (Mila’s friend and choreographer) while dancing in the clothes that corresponded to the last day of the behind-the-scene shooting:
Moving on, on September 5, 2019, which is the same day Liar and Shameless came out, Mila did that Insta-live in which she explained that she wrote both songs a week before shooting the Señorita music video. Here (min 1:05), she wasn’t lying. She asked Sinu for help initially because she didn’t want to mess up. I mean, you can see the panic all over her face 🤣. Sinu went with the narrative version by saying “after rehearsal”. Mila: “Umm. They were written right before—” ; Sinu by trying to correct her: “Right after” ; Mila by messing up anyway: “Right after- Right before, umm. Like a week before we filmed the Señorita video”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The smile she made after telling the truth was priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
As you’ve seen already before, Camila actually finished recording Shameless on May 15th, and a week later precisely, on May 22nd, it was the day the rehearsal for the Señorita video ended, and the shooting started the next day. So it was the truth that time. The lie wasn’t on that date, but in saying they recorded Señorita in June for the narrative.
Before starting with my interpretation, I’d like to point something else out. The song was about Shallow for the narrative. They even put a guy from behind in the music video that was supposed to represent him. And what else did they do to confirm that even more? On the same day of the release, Shaky first posted the Insta-story of the song:
And then the pic below thanks to which obviously the shitmila shippers went to make the comparison with the music video:
Well, we know it’s bullshit regardless, but the phrase ‘My kisses are history, they go back a long time’ confirms it even more. I mean, as I said before, the first bullshit Mila said was that she wrote Shameless before the rehearsal of the Señorita music video in June, but nothing had happened between them yet until July 4th, 2019, according to their own narrative! Soooo, what kisses that were history are we talking about exactly? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🥱(🤭🤣). But anyway. This is not what I wanted to point out. That was just the obvious 🤣.
Camila wanted us to believe that the song was about her inner battle between, first hiding and denying her feelings, and then being cheeky and shameless about it. Still according to the narrative, this was supposed to be the ‘I want him, then I don’t want him’ friendzone crap we’ve heard even up until recently, you know? But let’s put aside Shrimp who doesn’t have a shit to do with it, and let’s think about the real muse behind the song. By still keeping in mind what I said at the beginning (Camila wanted us to believe that the song was about her inner battle between, first hiding and denying her feelings, and then being cheeky and shameless about it), the first verse, at least at first impact, suggests that Mila was talking to herself about her feelings for Laur at the beginning of their story. But with the second verse, I realized that it wasn’t like that. I mean, it can be a way of interpreting the song. That Mila first talked about the past in the first verse and then about the present (that is the period on which the song is based: 2017) in the second verse as she did with Liar (although the order is more of a mix there), but with the hidden connections she created and the information on the facts, at least in my opinion, is not like that.
Let’s start with the interpretation, but it’s gonna be slightly different from what I usually do, okay? Let’s go 🙌🏼.
These are the two verses as we know them:
Verse 1:
“Don’t speak, no, don’t try
It’s been a secret for the longest time
Don’t run (oh), no, don’t hide
Been running from it for the longest time”
Verse 2:
“So we’re there, now it’s real
Now that you have me, do you want me still?
My kisses are history, they go back a long time, uh
And I’m tired of loving somebody that’s not mine, no”
Now I’m gonna put them in a single sentence in a different way from the real order, and then I’m gonna give you the interpretation. I advise you to try to read without singing the words in your head because you might get confused otherwise 🤣: Don’t speak, no, don’t try. Don’t run, no, don’t hide. Been running from it for the longest time. It’s been a secret for the longest time. So we’re there, now it’s real. Now that you have me, do you want me still? My kisses are history, they go back a long time. And I’m tired of loving somebody that’s not mine.
“Don’t speak, no, don’t try”
Because this is the time to listen.
It was time for Laur to listen to her and not use distractions, facades (one of the things she talks about in In the Dark, reference to ‘So why can’t you show me? Who are you in the dark?’), or excuses to avoid the subject, or run away (this is connected with the next two sentences).
“Don’t run (oh), no, don’t hide
Been running from it for the longest time”
Okay, very short timeline summary with just the things we need to know in this case. Mila broke up with Laur in mid-December 2016. She unexpectedly met her on February 6, 2017, and all of her feelings resurfaced. Bam, All These Years (interpretation here, last ask). She saw her again on February 12, 2017, at the Grammys’ after-party, and bam, In the Dark (interpretation here, last ask).
This whole piece (Don’t run (oh), no, don’t hide. Been running from it for the longest time) is connected with “You’re runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ (oh) - Runnin’, runnin’ away from it (away)” by In the Dark. There’s the reference and the connection with exactly what Mila explained happened that night. (In the Dark) Runnin’, runnin’ away from it = Been running from it (Shameless). You’ve been running from it for the longest time. Now, why for the longest time? Well, because in In the Dark, Mila promised her that she would’ve stayed and that she was ready. That was the first step. It’s a connection that we also find with Find U Again and later with Havana because Mila was ready even back then. She told her face-to-face that she was ready the first time in In the Dark, but she was ready even before that. If that’s why, Mila was ready since All These Years already. So you have to keep in mind the time passed before getting to Shameless (which was the last step before they got back together), and for our exaggerated queen especially in songs, that was the longest time 🤣.
No, I’m just kidding no, I’m not 🤣. She used the longest time even as a reference to the past of the beginning of their story. Same reference and connection as we find in the next sentence:
“It’s been a secret for the longest time”
I mean, hello???? 🎶 The greatest love story that’s never been told 🎶 Duh!
“So we’re there, now it’s real
Now that you have me, do you want me still?”
Mila was basically saying: ‘After everything we’ve been through, we’re here now. I’m standing here in front of you, and this, us, is more real than ever (and I think the real part was also an indirect made on purpose for the fans, for us). I’m here to tell you fearlessly and shamelessly (because the chorus had already happened since this is the second verse) that you have me. I promised you I’m here to stay (reference with ‘I promise that I won’t run’ by In the Dark). I’m yours. I’m ready and I wanna try again (reference with ‘But if you say try again, I’d be ready. I’m ready’ by Find U Again). But now the question is, do you want to? Do you still want me? Now that you know, now that you have me, do you still want me?’.
“My kisses are history, they go back a long time, uh
And I’m tired of loving somebody that’s not mine, no”
My kisses are history, they go back a long time. Again as before, duh 😉🤭. They date back to the times of the X-Factor elevator (although that one was more a playful one and not as serious as the New Year’s one). That phrase was a way like if to say ‘we’ve known each other for a long time’ which connects to And I’m tired of loving somebody that’s not mine. Mila explained what this actually means:
Therefore, with these two sentences, she’s saying: ‘ we’ve known each other for a long time. We’ve been through this before and I’m tired of loving you from afar without being able to act on it. I’m tired of loving you without being able to be with you for real’. Not to mention the fact that she’s never been able to do it properly. She’s never been able to be with her in a free way since they’re two queer female celebrities, and I can’t imagine how exhausting THAT can be.
So. After analyzing the first two verses in this way, we get: Don’t speak, no, don’t try. It’s time for you to listen to me, and don’t run, no, don’t hide. You’ve been running from it for the longest time (from the All These Years’ meeting). This, ours, it’s been a secret for the longest time. So we’re there, now it’s real. I’m standing here in front of you, and it’s more real than ever. Now that you have me, do you want me still? My kisses are history, they go back a long time (we’ve known each other for a long time) and I’m tired of loving somebody that’s not mine (I’m tired of loving you from afar without being able to act on it. I’m tired of loving you without being able to be with you for real).
Now it’s clearer why I don’t think that Mila first talked about the past in the first verse and then about the present in the second one, but that she always talked about the present (at the time 2017)? I hope it was, and I hope this part of the interpretation wasn’t too messed up 😅. I’ll continue with the usual way now.
Pre-Chorus:
“So many mornings I woke up confused
In my dreams, I do anything I want to you
My emotions are naked, they’re taking me out of my mind”
🤤🤤🤤🥵🥵🥵 Ahem-ahem. *throat clearing*
So basically, she was able to be with Laur during her sleep (In my dreams, I do anything I want to you), in every sense (😏), but every time she woke up the next morning, she was confused (So many mornings I woke up confused). The more it happened, the more the confusion turned into frustration and impatience because what was happening in her dreams wasn’t happening in the reality. And the more that happened, the more unbearable it became for her to repress and control her emotions that were driving her crazy (they’re taking me out of my mind). Until she then exploded, and finally told her everything by expressing those emotions (My emotions are naked), which were by then also evident without the need to express them (but she did anyway).
Chorus:
“Right now, I’m shameless”
The rasp here……… The. Rasp. Here. 🔥!!!!! By hearing that part, I was like: 🎶 Right now I’m deeeaad 🎶 I’m just saying 💁🏻♀️🤣.
“Screamin’ my lungs out for ya
Not afraid to face it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to”
Aaand these were the emotions I was talking about earlier. Mila who told her fearlessly and shamelessly how much she wanted her. She told her how much she needed her (I need you more than I want to) and that she wasn’t afraid to face it; the opposite of what Laur was doing ‘Been running from it’ that we find in the first verse. She felt neither ashamed nor afraid to admit all her feelings to such an extent that she would’ve been willing to even metaphorically scream it out (screamin’ my lungs out for ya).
“Show me you’re shameless”
Here she asked her to be as shameless as she was. Not to be afraid to admit her feelings like she was doing, and basically jump together; give themselves another chance.
“Write it on my neck, why don’t ya?
And I won’t erase it”
This is another powerful way to tell her she was hers. She was like: ‘you can even write on my neck who I belong to. Mark me’ (even with, you know, the mark of a bite or a hickey 😉). Another metaphor that lets us understand how like, almost desperate Mila was. How completely at her mercy she was.
Oh and, let’s not forget the promo clip for the song. I mean, there’s the front part of the neck, there are the side ones, but no. What did she choose? The back of it.
Aaand the new entry:
☝🏼 And that’s the devil talking!! 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry guys, but that was just a joke since the one in the GIF is the actor who plays Lucifer in Supernatural 🙃.
“I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want to”
And the repetition of how much she needed her. How much she wanted her.
Post-Chorus:
“No-oh, uh-uh, don’t wanna do this now
No-oh, uh-uh, don’t wanna do this now
No-oh, uh-uh, don’t wanna do this now
No-oh, uh-uh, don’t wanna do this now”
And this brings us back to what I explained earlier. How tired Mila was and how unbearable it was for her to repress and control her emotions. She didn’t want to do it. She didn’t want to repress anything anymore, and indeed, she didn’t. She was shameless about it.
Bridge:
“Distance, inches in between us
I want you to give in, I want you to give in, oh
Weakness, tension in between us
I just wanna give in
And I don’t care if I’m forgiven”
This part is much more physical and connects with the dreams one she was having. Only that this was the reality and not a dream of hers. The sexual tension was all there. As usual by the way, because that’s something that has never changed between them. She wanted Laur to give in the same way she was giving in, and at that moment, the desire was so strong and powerful that she didn’t even care if Laur forgave her. They would’ve thought about forgiveness and talked about everything after… If you know what I mean 😏.
And that’s it, dear Anon 😊. This underrated masterpiece is precisely about, indeed, being shameless. Shameless is about taking action on repressed emotions. It’s about being bold and shooting your shot. And as Mila herself said, it’s about “loving with your heart open and not being afraid of it”.
🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀🤸🏻♀
Aaand I’m done 😜. Thank you all for your asks and I hope I’ve been helpful this time too 🙃. As usual, I’m always available for those who have questions, so ask away 😄.
Remember to be nice. Always. Both with others and with yourselves. Be a good example. Be patient. Be safe and take care of yourselves. Don’t let our ship sink. Keep shipping them, but please respectfully 🙏🏼. Sending you virtual love and hugs 🤗🤗🤗. I love you, babies. Always with love, F ❤️.
I applaud and still in awe of the patience and dedication you put on this, bud! @fa-by
To the last Anon, trying to play the shame game…..They’ve been “broken-up” a couple weeks, and He’s already trying to profit off of it. FAKE bullshit at it’s finest……How about you just accept the circus for what it was, and move the fuck on.
SHAWN = FAKE
Lol, like the pr the breakup doesn't make any sense as well. He was working on the song since September. So he just fucked her Mexico vacation, Halloween and did beach stunts only to be revealed he made the song in September. Oh and wearing the matching pr ring to promote the song, getting pep sad. The changing source stories. One said he broke up now she broke up with him and he wants more custody of the dog. Wait till he sits down and opens his mouth all the lies he will tell a wastman. 🤡
🤡🤡🤡🤡
YUCK
ok ok listen… I swear i’m not trying to be delusional ok but in the Miami concert when L was going to sing Lento she did the little ad lib thing that Rauw Alejandro does in the beginning of the lento remix that says “Esto e’ un perreo pa’ las nenas Que están soltera” (now Ik some of you don’t speak Spanish but nenas is plural form of girl in Spanish meaning girls and están is plural form of are in Spanish meaning more than one person) which means “this is a grinding song for the girls who are single” but L doesn’t say that instead she doesn’t even say the whole phrase and she uses the singular version of that phrase and says “esta pa’ la nena que esta soltera” which for those of you who don’t speak Spanish means “this is for the girl who is single”. (I speak Spanish btw so I know what i’m talking about lmao) Now this wouldn’t be such a big deal IF we didn’t know that recently a certain brown eyed Cuban-Mexican girl is publicly single after 2 years of dating her supposed Canadian “boyfriend”.
Also can we just point out the fact that she hasn’t done this in any other show that she’s performed at so far and she just decided to do it for the first time when she was in MIAMI exactly the place where this certain browned eyed Cuban-Mexican single girl is currently?!?
Like come on I hate being one of those “everything is a sign” CS but honestly this cannot be a coincidence like serious she just randomly decided to do that at her Miami show just when C & S break up like i’m sorry but she did it on purpose.
——————
I love this 😆
(I think she said that in Chicago too, but I might be wrong)
#PhilippinePolitics it is so hard to penetrate with rich people's mind with misogynistic ptinciples 😩
Let's protect Camila at all cost pls. I failed as a Britney fan bc I did not know any better (I also was very young then). Protect her against these misogynistic fucks.// i am with you. but we need her fucking fandom to wake up. she showed signs of being at or has reached breaking point. looking drained, sad and those fucks called it love. they are defo luke warm fans.

Lauren is very happy. First time tour, ep doing very well. I'm not taking that happiness away from her. It's just this happiness has tripled now and is showing a lot more since her boo pr ended. In a way if you think about it Lauren tour started just after the circus ended. She can be at piece doing her thing without the worry of her boo being forced to do shitty stunts. You can see the happiness in her eyes. And that little vid where she's singing and shows the sun painted.
So cute our moonchild ❤
