I MISS CAMREN
It's my 3 year anniversary on Tumblr š„³
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 šš¼š¤. As I promised I would, ta-daaah šāØš.
So š, today I wanna talk to you about the spectral theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces and tensor analysis.
ā¦
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ Iām kidding of course š¤£. The title of the post already says todayās topic. You guys thank the K Anon for the ask.
Hi K šš¼š. Have a nice day too and hope you like it š.
So. Camila wrote and producedĀ Only Told the MoonĀ in a hotel room by using GarageBand, a software to create music developed by Apple that can also be used by those who donāt 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 āsayā that sheād completed it? On Laurenās birthday:
Why donāt you put an even bigger sign that directly says āTHIS IS FOR LAUREN!ā next time, Mila? 𤣠I mean, of all days, right on her birthday? Okay š¤£. But thanks tho šš¤.
Thereās also this one here which Iām 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⦠š
And this one here⦠I mean, Mila???? On her birthday the following year? AGAIN??????? š¤£š¤£š¤£
But this one⦠Ooooh, this one! š¤š¤£
Mila, bish! Are you really gonna tell me that when you posted it, you didnāt know that it was actually the edit of THIS one?
Little story for you. It was early March 2016 and Iād 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 couldnāt 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 donāt 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 didnāt know that it was actually the edit of THIS one?? KARLA CAMILA CABELLO ESTRABAO!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON, NOW!!!! WHO ARE YOU KIDDING???? š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
But back to being serious now. We have āthe classicā one:
Thatās 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 TelehitĀ and for the meet & greet:
š„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µš„µ 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. Letās focus on the song now. I love this song š„°. 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 š.
But anyway, I advise you to mentally prepare yourselves because this is the longest interpretation Iāve done so far. Make yourselves a sandwich, or a coffee, or I donāt know, something that can accompany you on the journey š. Oh and, as usual, you can even disagree with me, but this is the way I see it š.
Okay, ready? Letās go! šš¼
Verse 1:
āStay back, stay long
And you, move on
I stress, come close
Move on, please donātā
One of the things I love the most about this song is how cryptic it is š, and I think you know by now how much of a sucker I am for deciphering things š. So what do we have here? We have words, but something doesnāt add up. There appear to be holes. As if there were missing pieces of a sentence, right? Well, thatās 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 sheād removed the rest because the meaning of those words alone, had the same concept as one or more whole sentences. Iāll explain better with an example:
āOn 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 phoneā. Now, thatās the whole sentence. But if I just write āOn my way home. I fell. Distracted.ā in that same cryptic way, wouldnāt you understand anyway that the fact of the matter is that I fell? Wouldnāt 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 didnāt really happen. Iām not clumsy and I certainly donāt work in heels š¤£. It was just an example I created for you to understand. Letās move on š.
So, what was Mila actually talking about? What is the meaning behind it? We have āStay back, stay longā 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 āAnd you, move onā; aka when Laur had found someone else. Oh and, the āAnd youā is a question. You can notice it by listening to the way she sings it: And you? Move on.
āI stress, come close - Move on, please donātā. These two, already at the time (2017) made me understand that Mila wasnāt really talking to Laur. They were just thoughts in her head that she, however, didnāt 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 didnāt want her to move on (Move on, please donāt), she talked to herself by repeating it (I stress) over and over again in her head. I understood this especially because the āMove onā is a question and the āplease donātā is the reaction to the affirmative answer of the question. It was like: Mila saw Lo with someone else and thought āIs she moving on? Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, please no!ā. As with āAnd youā, if you listen closely, you can clearly hear that itās a question and that Mila says āMove on? Please donātā.
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 youā?ā) She moved on (move on) [Sure, Jan]. And when Mila realized this (Move onā?ā), 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 didnāt want Lo to move on (please donāt).
Pre-Chorus 1:
āHello, how are you? How youāve been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss
Nothing much, just fine, Iām doing well
And you can read between the lines but God, I fellā
Ohhh, I can read between the lines, baby!! š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ All kidding asideš¤£, Iām 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 š¤£. But anyway.
With the first two sentences (Hello, how are you? How youāve 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 āNothing much, just fine, Iām doing well - And you can read between the lines but God, I fellā, it might have seemed at first as if Lo had answered her that, right? Right. But then youāll have stopped for a moment and said āWait 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, Iām doing well, means the exact opposite read between the lines: Iām NOT doing well] It wouldnāt make sense because she would never have admitted it for a pride matter.ā
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 donāt)? It wouldāve been a contradiction. And therefore you must have thought, āOkay, Lauren asked her the two questions, but everything else in the sentences was just Camila, right? Thatās gotta be it. Right? Right.ā WROOONG! Itās all wrong š¤£. As I said before, itās 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 š¤£: Only Told the Moon. For Mila, the moon is a friend. A protector who watches over her and from whom she āgoesā to confide, especially when she feels alone.
So. I explained the game in the first verse, but whatās 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, Ā they were things that had already happened. In the first pre-chorus indeed, she used āLately I wonderā; 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 wasnāt okay at all. Yeah guys š¤£, 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 š¤£, let me go on so youāll understand what I mean š.
Read the first pre-chorus in this way by pretending that the two sentences I crossed out donāt exist for a moment, okay?
Hello, how are you? How youāve been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss
Nothing much, just fine, Iām doing well
And you can read between the lines but God, I fell
Those are two questions and thatās an answer to both. And so far, so good. Itās 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 havenāt crossed out. But in the last sentence, on the other hand, we have the moon as a referent (Iāll explain that shortly), and thatās 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 havenāt seen for a while, and what sense would it have made for one of them (Camren) to ask the other āHello, how are you? How youāve been?ā if we know perfectly well that they were together 24-7? š
Now that I hope Iāve removed this doubt as well, letās 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 youāve been?. And since she wasnāt okay, those questions immediately made her think of Lo.
You know when youāre talking to someone and your mind spaces out thinking about something else? Maybe because that someone said something that reminded you of that thing thatās distracting you from the conversation. Well, we know how short Camilaās attention span is and how easily distracted she is š¤£. But, while thatās usually funny because, I mean, itās Camila, and itās 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 wouldāve wanted to kiss her: Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss.Ā It was like, people: āHello, how are you? How youāve been?āĀ āĀ Mila by thinking of Laur āLately I wonder how it feels to steal your kissāĀ to then answering:
āNothing much, just fine, Iām doing well. Iām just as good as an ass sitting on a cactus, thanks for asking. What about you?ā.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ 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, Iām doing well.
Sometimes the people who ask you those questions do it because theyāre fond of you and thereās really an interest on their part in knowing how youāre 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 itās their way of letting you vent to help you (sometimes that doesnāt work because you prefer to lie to them despite trusting them simply because you donāt 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 canāt 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: āHeeey, hi, how are you?ā whose answer is always āIām good. How are you?ā even if you feel like shit, āIām good. See yaā, you know? These are questions that you ask others yourself as well. Everyone does and no one really cares about the answer because, whether youāre really okay or not, the answer is always āIām good/fine/okayā regardless, because you wouldnāt talk about personal matters with someone you donāt trust, and same thing for them towards you.
In Milaās 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, āHello, how are you? How youāve been?ā, 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: āAnd you can read between the lines but God, I fellā. Meaning: You, moon, you can read between the lines and understand that I answered those questions with bullshit because Iām 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 sheās 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 Donāt 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 Donāt Miss Ya), Cry for Me, Must Be Love, Used to This, Closure, and Only Told the Moon]. Iāll 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. Iām 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). Iām saying that because Camila herself said it two years later and therefore I had confirmation of it. But weāll 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 Donāt 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 āmove on withā 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 emā there. Donāt let me know, donāt let me know. Unfortunately, I donāt miss yaĀ //// āDonāt let me know, donāt let me knowā,Ā funny how exactly two years later [2016], she asked her the exact opposite inĀ Let Me KnowĀ [interpretation here,Ā penultimate ask]), nor Mila herself (I donāt need nobody to make me feel goodĀ - & -Ā Used to be xo, now weāre exes). She acted as if she was better off without her. (Appreciate it when youāre not around.Ā I like you better when youāre out of town.Ā Better alone, better alone.Ā Unfortunately, I donāt miss ya). Partially true because soon after, she found someone else to āmove on withā briefly.
That, on the other hand, resulted in anger in Mila triggered by jealousy, aka Iām Pissed Off Youāre Happy (āIām pissed off youāre happy, youāre happy y-y-y-y-y. Iām pissed off youāre happy, without me e-e-e-e-eā), 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: āI broke up with somebody, and I was like: āokayā. 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: āWait! 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 meāā.
So basically: Mila broke up with her and she was like āIām okay with it. I did the right thingā. Lo, hurt, acted like āBetter this way. I donāt give a shit. Iām happy like thisā, and Iām 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? = āWell, you look so happy walking down the street, donāt you, babe? - & - And youāre okay, youāre okay, how can you be okay? No, why wonāt you cry?ā. The fact that Lo wasnāt hurt (only according to her since Laur didnāt 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 wasnāt okay with it, out of even more anger and pride, Mila told her she was happy for her = āWhen I said I hope youāre happy, didnāt mean itā. Then the increasingly angry and jealous reasoning started in her head, still because, out of pride, she didnāt say anything to Laur: āNever thought youād be so good at moving on - & - You saidā that in this lifetime you couldā 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 itās time you know the feelingā. Lastly followed by the regret of having broken up with Lo and the wanting things back the way they were: āTears in my eyes, yeah - & - Say youād die for me, die for me. And if you canāt, then baby, lie for me, lie for me. āCause you haunt me when Iām dreamināā.
Cry for MeĀ was jealousy, and anger, and pride, but also regret. Thatās where Mila realized both that sheād fucked up and that she wanted Laur back. We can also notice the difference between what she actually told her āWhen I said I hope youāre happyā, and what instead she really thought ādidnāt mean itĀ ā & āMove on? Please donātā of theĀ Only Told the Moonās first verse. All that, resulted in something else. The realization of being in love with her, akaĀ Must Be Love: āMust be love. Or this wouldnāt hurt so much. And I wouldnāt think so much. And I could just give you upā. TheĀ Must Be Loveās falling in love, is a connection that we find both with āAnd you can read between the lines but God, I fellā in theĀ Only Told the Moonās pre-chorus, and with āseventeen when I started to fallā inĀ Used to This. If thatās why, we also find it with āAnd maybe people like me love too muchā inĀ Closure, but letās talk aboutĀ Used to ThisĀ 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 Donāt 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 ā(Iāll risk it all. Seventeen when I started to fall, but we lost it all, and I just canāt believe it all)ā. And yes, guys, itās seventeen when I started to fall. I, not we. I think you know me by now and that therefore you know that I donāt say bullshit because, unless Iām 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. Itās written in the booklet:
Now that youāve also seen it, can you do Mila (and me too) a favor? Can you please stop saying we? Thanks šš¼š¤£. Letās move on to Closure.
After she realized she was in love with her, the fear of losing her forever set in because, as weāve seen, Lo was acting as if she didnāt care about Mila anymore (And I hope that you care, that youāre there. Itās killing me - & - But the phone wonāt ring ācause, darling, do I mean a thing?) and she was moving on with someone else (Then you moved on and I canāt carry on). Mila still had some hope (I want closure. Tell me itās not over (it canāt be over, it canāt 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.
InĀ 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 (youāll 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 š. I talked about it in a fairytale way and therefore not saying about the breakup but only about a fight in the šÆļø - É post: [Right click on the pic and go to āopen image in a new tabā. 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 ās interpretation.
So. Brief summary. In the first verse, Camila was like: āSo, my friend (moon), it all started like thisā¦ā. (Stay back) she broke up with her. She regretted it and wanted her back with her for good (stay long), but (And youā?ā, move on) Laur was moving on [Sure, Jan š¤£]. When Mila found out (Move onā?ā), 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 didnāt want Lo to move on (please donāt). 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: āPeople asked me how I was (people: Hello, how are you? How youāve been?), but before answering them (Mila: Nothing much, just fine, Iām 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 herā (Mila: And you can read between the lines but God, I fell).
All very trippy so far, huh? š¤Æš I know, I know, and weāre not even done yet š¤£. And by the way, how many times have I said that Camila is a fucking genius? Because she is! Sheās fucking brilliant!! š
Chorus 1:
āI only told the moon, tonight up on the roof
I told her that Iām 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 tooā
I told her. HER: the moon. For those who donāt know, Mila refers to the moon as āshe/herā because in Spanish, as well as in Italian, moon is preceded by the feminine definite article, ālaā. It says āla lunaā in Spanish as well as in Italian. In English, however, the article is always the same, ātheā. It wasnāt 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 (theyāre really really funny to me when they do it, by the way š¤£) precisely because they donāt know the difference because of the ātheā. Nope. It wasnāt difficult for me to understand it at the time, precisely because Iām Italian. But anyway. Letās go back to the interpretation.
Thereās another little game here. For this time, itās 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 wasnāt really talking to her. Itās as if she were imagining doing it. Lauren wasnāt really there, but Camila imagined that she was. She acted by speaking in the same way that sheād 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 werenāt on good terms at the time as we understood in the first verse, aka they didnāt 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 wouldnāt have asked the moon to give her her news. Ergo, Laur wasnāt 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 Iām 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 š¤. I mean, if THAT doesnāt prove she was talking about a girl, I donāt know what would š¤£. 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 itās clear as day that she was talking about a girl. Her girl. And we know that sheās talked about it too before. Two examples that come to my mind now are OMG: āWhen she drop it bounce back like a yo-yoā, and Crown: āThe way you move is serpentineā.
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 ā Her: moon ā 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 sheād confessed to the moon (her) about her feelings for Laur herself.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP *sound effect*
If you made it this far without a headache, congratulations!!!! šš¼šš¼š„³
Now take a deep breath and rest your brain for a moment because Iām probably about to give you one šššš¼š
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP *sound effect*
Verse 2:
āSilence. Too loud
Say it, not nowā
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 Iāve explained so far, but even with a part of the second chorus. But letās go in order.
We know that Mila suffers from OCD. This is a topic Iāve talked about in many of my posts and I need to do it one more time. OCD leads to having intrusive thoughts. You canāt 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, doesnāt that ring a bell? Donāt you recognize those same words said in the song? No? Iāll give you a hand: āI only told the moon, tonight up on the roof - I told her that Iām scared that all my thoughts they look like youā.
Explanation Iāve 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 Iām scared that all my thoughts they look like you.
Yeeep. I didnāt explain this in the first chorus because I needed this connection right now because of what Iām about to explain. But before doing that, Iād also like to add how weāve 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 youāve been?.
Now. ByĀ Silence. Too loud, Mila referred to the intrusive thoughts of her OCD. The āLittle voices in my headā that we also find inĀ Consequences, you know? And as I said in that interpretation (in the penultimate ask): āBy āLittle voices in my headā 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, itās our own voice the one we hear in our head? Well, itās 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.ā
So, again, Silence. Too loud. There was silence outside. Even between them. Another thing that makes us understand they werenāt talking to each other. But in her head? There were those Little voices that were too loud. In this case (because weāre talking about the song and not Mila and OCD in a generic way), they were all about āLauren, Lauren, Laurenā. Also because, as youāve 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: āTalk 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!ā. By shitting in her pants just at the idea, Mila answered: āNot now. Later on in time, sure, but not now. Iām not ready yetā.
So. Iāve explained to you the connection that there is in the second verse with everything Iāve 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, letās move on to the second pre-chorus. As I said before, letās go in order.
Pre-Chorus 2:
āSo, how are you? How youāve been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to taste your lips
Nothing much, just fine, Iām doing well
And you can read between the lines but God, I fellā
The second pre-chorus and the first are the same. They donāt 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 donāt change the meaning of the second pre-chorus per se. Theyāre 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 Laurās kiss, then she wondered how it would feel to taste Laurās 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, theyāre 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 youāve sat down at a table, one of you usually starts the conversation precisely in that way: So, how are you? How youāve been?
Chorus 2:
āI only told the moon, tonight up on the roof
I told her that Iām 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 tooā
So far, itās all the same as the first chorus. Immediately after, however, we find an addition that distinguishes them:
āThat I give it all to you, I give it all to you, I give it all to you
I only told the moonā
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 š¤·š»āāļø.ĀĀ And thatās how I found it š. Thatās 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 Milaās head, there were those too loud Little voices she was having a conversation with.
Itās in that conversation that we need to add the second chorus part. And now, that conversation becomes:
Voices: āTalk 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!ā. By shitting in her pants just at the idea, Mila answered: āNot now. Later on in time, sure, but not now. Iām not ready yetā.
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.
āTell her you give it all to her. All your love. All of yourself because she means the world to youā is actually That I give it all to you.
āTell her how you feel instead of only talking to the moon about itā is because thatās what Mila did, aka I only told the moon which we find in both choruses.
āTell her how you feel instead of only imagining doing it (as we saw in the first chorus)ā. And what did we see in the first chorus? That Mila was imagining talking to Lo about what sheād confessed to the moon about her feelings for Laur herself. Ā
āSay it to her for realā But say what to her for real? Answer: āTell 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. ā¦ā¦ Take the courage and do it!ā. By shitting in her pants just at the idea, Mila answered: āNot now. Later on in time, sure, but not now. Iām not ready yetā.
ššššššš
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 āThat I give it all to you, I give it all to you, I give it all to you - I only told the moonā, is that this sentence should be read backwards. I only told the moon that I give it all to you. Itās as simple as that. The Little voices, aka Mila herself, told her to tell Lo all the things Iāve 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. š
Bridge:
āAh-ah ah-ah ah-aaah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-aaahā
šššššššš
Mila angelically sings this part twice by switching from the lowest to the highest vocal range. Thereās actually nothing to interpret here. Itās just something I wanted to include because she gave me goosebumps the first few times I listened to it. Thatās all š¤·š»āāļøš.
āUuuh-And another love song, will play on the radio, you knowā
A love song, aka yet another thing that wouldāve made her think about Lo. Here Mila was again imagining talking to Lo as I explained to you in the first chorus. āyou knowā, YOU, Lauren. I explained this to you guys when I told you about the subjects, remember?
āAh-ah ah-ah ah-aaah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah-aaah
Uuh-And Iāll wait for the moon to lean in close, and sayā
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. Itās usually something that no one else can hear. A secret. Basically, itās a metaphor Mila used because their story was secret. Especially in the beginning, very few people knew about them, and if thatās why, their entire story has always been and still is a secret to the world. And Iām 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, Iāll wait for the moon to lean in close as if it were a secret because no one knew, and say:
Chorus 3:
āThat he only told the moon, tonight up on the roofā
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: āNaaah. 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 shouldāve seen the moon as a friend and have the same kind of love for her that Mila has. Pfffffft!! Come on! It wouldāve 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?ā. 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 āshe/herā for the moon? Itās the same thing. Here Mila referred to the sun with āheā because in Spanish, as well as in Italian, the sun is preceded by the masculine definite article. āEl solā in Spanish, and āil soleā in Italian.
So I understood that it was the sun, BUT, and yes, thereās a but,Ā he only told the moonĀ 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 myĀ Inauguration postĀ as you can see here: [Same thing as before. Right click on the pic and go to āopen image in a new tabā. 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:
āi have late night conversations with the moon. she tells me about the sun, and i tell her about youā: i (Mila) have late night conversations with the moon. she (moon) tells me about the sun, and i (Mila) tell her about you (Laur). Itās exactly the same method she used here in the song!
āThat he only told the moon, tonight up on the roofā. 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.
āHe told me that heās scared that all his thoughts they look like youā
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: Iāll wait for the moon to lean in close. Meaning: it hadnāt happened yet. She was still just hoping for it]. This means that it was the moon that was talking here. He told me that heās scared that all his thoughts they look like you: He (the sun, Lauren) told me (the moon) that heās (Laurenās) scared that all his (Laurenās) 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 thatās 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 Iāve 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 Camilaās hope. Ergo, something that hadnāt 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 āup on the roofā 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 Iāll (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 heās (Laurenās) scared that all his (Laurenās) 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 Camilaās hope, also with Lauren, aka her sun.
āI only told the moon, about the way you move
I asked her to please tell me if you tell this to her tooā
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 wouldāve told her in secret that Laur had also confided in her by telling her that all she did was think about Mila too.
Outro:
āThat 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 moonā
Well, well, well. Would you look at that š. Putting aside the connection between the second verse and a part of the second chorus that Iāve 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? Wasnāt 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. Theyād gotten back together and thatās 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 theyād gotten back together and that for that reason, Laur told her that sheād 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!! š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ MASTERMIND! SHE. IS. BRILLIANT.!!!!! š„
Remember that when I told you about XO (I Donāt 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 sheād 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 š¤©.
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 ā 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 wouldnāt 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! ššš And all this at just 17 years old with no professional help from fucking anyone!!!!!! š¤©š¤©š¤©
Last thing before I go. Something that my baby @romanticentropyāĀ 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:Ā Taxi. āWeāll tell the moon when weāre old. The greatest love story thatās never been toldā.
That Weāll tell the moon when weāre old, is connected to this We only told the moon. This makes us understand that Camren only told the moon about them since 2014, theyāve continued and continue to do so now in the present, and will continue to tell the moon about their greatest love story thatās never been told even when theyāre old. The little hope that Mila gave me is the fact that she didnāt insert the only there that time. So maybe, MAYBE they wonāt tell their greatest love story only to the moon šš¤š¼šš¼. But š¤«š¤.
āš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāā
Aaand thatās it š. This is my interpretation. The way I solved the riddles š§. I hope you liked it, and I hope I didnāt cause too many headaches š š¤š¤£. See you next time š.
Remember to be nice. Always. Both with others and with yourselves. Be a good example. Be patient. Be safe and take care of yourselves. Donāt let our ship sink. Keep shipping them, but please respectfully šš¼. Sending you virtual love and hugs š¤š¤š¤. I love you, babies. Always with love, F ā¤ļø.

Help 3 friends out
Hey babies, hi šš¼š
This is a small update, a thank you, and an encouragement to continue or start for those who havenāt already, to help two of our Tumblr friends and myself.
For those who donāt know, our friend @mazes-and-the-madnessā / @life-love-literature, my love @romanticentropy, and I, have been unfairly ārobbedā. @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 @karlaswineā by passing it off as their own) with their analysis on Prelude. My babyĀ @romanticentropyāāĀ from the YouTube channel called Chonops Production with her analysis on Thinkinā āBout 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 itās private and I couldnāt see if itās there too ā They even dared to put their account name on my stolen collage š).
To help @mazes-and-the-madnessā / @life-love-literature, just click here, or go to the Kellyzzlee CSā 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 youāre reporting the video:
And then the game is done:
To help my girl, just click here, or go to Chonops Productionās YouTube channel and look for the video I circled below:
Then follow the same procedure I explained earlier, and itās done:
To help me against Camren Con Tortilla, just click here, or go to their Facebook page. Once youāve 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 thatās it:
To help me against una_camren_shipper_mas / Fernanda Lieberher, just click here, or go to her Instagram account. Once youāve 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 @delusionalunicorn78ā also informed me of this small addition:
But maybe una_camren_shipper_mas / Fernanda Lieberher hasnāt understood yet. She still hasnāt understood that I want my pics gone. What part of I donāt want my things outside of here is so hard to understand? Or as @athenroseā says, follow the āVegas rulesā. Is it that hard for real? And plus, what? Did she think sheād fixed everything with that addition? AH! Thatās really funny. I donāt give a shit about credits at all. Especially after stealing them (the pics)! And the funniest thing was seeing the other thiefās name in the credits š¤¦š»āāļø. I want both thieves to delete them. Itās as simple as that.
So, babies, please help us stop these people šš¼ because itās not fair. And unlike IG, you can report those posts as many times as you want. Remember that the more reports are accumulated (I donāt 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 ā¤.
If you need help in reporting someone else or help in general with anything, donāt hesitate to ask me. Iām here for each and everyone of you. I like to believe weāre a little CS family here on Tumblr, so, for real, Iām here for you.
I love you, my babies š„°š¤ and thank you again.
Thank you so much, mi amor ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø youāre 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 šš¼š¤. Welcome to a new āQ&Aā 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 AMAās 2018Ā post as you know. But now here we are, and I hope you can forgive me for the delay. Enjoy š.
And you believe them just like that? Whereās the proof of that? My dear Anon, a piece of advice from my heart? Donāt 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, Iāve already answered it a lot of times. And like the many previous times, Iāll copy and paste for you the same answer I gave to an Anon some time ago: āAnd to answer the rest of your questions, dear, Iāll sum it all up by telling you that when theyāre not together, or theyāre on a break, they have a different way of acting than when theyāre together. And I speak in general. It shows in the way they behave in general. Now itās much harder to see since theyāre no longer in the group and you could clearly see when it happened, and itās also hard since the pandemic, but there are patterns. Iāve spent so much time analyzing them that theyāre quite predictable in my eyes š¤£ā.
Iāll also copy this other part of the same answer to another Anon: āAs Lauren herself tweeted, pay attention. Thatās all Iām gonna say, dear. See this mine not giving you more details than these as my way to protect them.ā
Iām sorry, dear Anon, itās not for you. Maybe youāre new to my blog, but I hope this is the last time I have to copy the same answer because my answer wonāt 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 Laurās independent, dear Anon. It was up to her to advertise it.
Songs: CuriousĀ (penultimate ask) and Bad Kind of Butterflies. And posts: fourth question, first four questions, sixth question,Ā and second, third, and fifth questions.
Itās okay. Donāt worry, dear Anon š.
1) Her contract with Sony isnāt over, dear Anon. Even AWAL is owned by Sony Music Entertainment.
2) The rules havenāt changed.
3) Nope, as you may have noticed (regarding yogurt majesty). Theyāll continue to alternate as they always have.
My answer wouldāve been yes even before the good news, dear Anon.
Already done š„³š„³š„³š„³š„³
Who told you they donāt travel or go to each otherās 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 itās hard to maintain a relationship in that way, and believe me, told by someone whoās in a long-distance relationship and therefore worse than theirs, I can assure you that it is. But itās worth it, and itās up to the two people in the couple to stay strong until a better solution/situation šŖš¼.
We think the same way, dear Anon š. And yes, we all love Thunder content š¤©, but donāt 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 š„ŗ.
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 donāt even know if theyāll want to do it š¤·š»āāļø. Iāll copy a piece of an old answer (penultimate question) I gave to an Anon about Milaās coming out to make you understand better what I mean and how I think about it:
āNot to mention that her coming out would confirm Camren even more, even if she doesnāt confirm it herself. Itās automatic. Letās 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, wouldnāt be fine for them.
If they donāt want to come out as a couple, if they donāt even want to admit that they were in the past, then that wouldnāt 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 wonāt happen for SEVERAL years. Fifteen years could go by, and if they ever really admit it, they might not even be together by then.
Iām sorry to ruin you guysā fantasies, but Iām 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, Iād 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, Iād rather see them both free from their contracts, free to do what they love without pressure, and to know that theyāre together and happy in PRIVATEā.
1) She could use it even before if she wanted to, dear Anon. The fact that sheās 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 werenāt famous yet, but even after that, it was a āprivateā 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 doesnāt use it (both of them). And no, they donāt check CS blogs. When they have to check something, if they still do it, they do it on Twitter, IG, and now thatās 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 wonāt do that because they know weāre waiting for nothing else.
Hello, dear Anon šš¼š. 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 š . Not to mention they didnāt communicate at all, and Tumblr, was one of their indirect ways of doing it.
Have a great day too, dear š.
Hi to you too, baby CS Anon šš¼. Welcome š. And yes, they are, dear.
šš¼šš¼šš¼šš¼šš¼šš¼šš¼ all for you, dear Anon.
š¤š¢š¶ Boy, nothing real can be threatened š¶ True love breathes salvation back into me š¶ With every tear came redemption š¶ And my torturer became my remedy š¶
I love BeyoncĆ© š¤©. Hi to you, my dear šš¼š. And yes, same because, among all the lyrics of the songs in Lemonade, they tweeted oh so coincidentally the same ones 𤣠*shaking my head*
Hi, dear Anon šš¼š Suppp to u, bud š¤š¼š¤š¼. 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 šš¼š. Here, dear. I talked about it here, and here.
And, my dear? Even though Laurās independent now, it doesnāt mean she has the freedom to do whatever she wants on every front. Sheās not PRs-free, and she certainly doesnāt 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 sheād 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, andĀ that, is something that absolutely cannot happen. Not to mention that she signed contracts involving NDAs which sheĀ isĀ andĀ willĀ continueĀ to be required to comply with.
Hi to you, dear Anon šš¼š. The pandemic changed 80% of the plans, dear. It shouldnāt have been like that. Unfortunately, weāll never have confirmation, and honestly, I donāt even care because the important thing is that itās over š„³.
Hello, dear Anon šš¼š. I could be better š , but I hope youāre well š.
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 šš¼š. English isnāt my first language either, dear, so donāt worry š.
I agree with you that every now and then she checks what happens, but there are more the times when she doesnāt. Ā It actually always happens when itās 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 theĀ āDonāt Go Yetā Official Lyrics & MeaningĀ with Genius, I genuinely think she was following the script and she messed up the narrative just because itās all bullshit and she doesnāt always remember everything perfectly š¤£. 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 š¤š¤£. Poor baby š. Thatās Camila being Camila 𤩠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 šš¼š.
1) Theyāre still planting the seeds; I highly doubt itās Mila.
2) Yep.
3) Because even though Laurās free on certain aspects of her career, Mila is not, and there are rules to follow. Plans to follow.
Donāt we all love Mila the āstalkerā? š¤£. No, but jokes aside. This will be put aside as soon as they can finally unarchive their hidden follow š„³.
Itās frustrating at times, yeah š¤·š»āāļøš¤£.
šš¼šš¼šš¼šš¼šš¼ they did were actually together, dear Anon. Iām 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 donāt wanna say to protect them as I do? I donāt need to know what, Iām just curious to know if you did it or not.
As for the fans who donāt understand, itās unfortunately because theyāre too blinded to see the truth through the narratives that are set. Many donāt even care about the truth because it doesnāt validate what they believe.
Their coming out as a couple I think is a hope for all of us š, but itās a little too early for that. Itāll 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 š.
Hi to you, dear Anon šš¼š.
1) If you mean with Shrunken, itās already over as you well know š„³ / If you mean as a couple, then you have to wait for a veeery long time.
2) I donāt think sheās signed a new contract at all, dear.
3) 2022.
I think now you know because itās been a while since your ask and because Prelude came out and now you have the lyrics, dear Anon. But in any case, Iām telling you the same because one never knows. The ones you wrote, are incorrect lyrics. The right ones are these: āas you drag your hand to my waist down my backā. It makes more sense now, doesnāt it? š
Hi to you too, dear Anon šš¼š. I could be better actually š . What about you? I hope youāre well š¤.
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 š.
Donāt thank me, dear, itās always a pleasure for me to help as I can š.
Hi to you too, dear Anon šš¼š. The mystery girl didnāt help her forget Lauren because as soon as Laur finally got her head out of her ass (š¤£), Mila broke up with the mystery girl and took Lo back. Mila tried to move on when Laur still couldnāt give her what she wanted (a relationship), but she didnāt succeed š¤·š»āāļø. *Iām sorry for the girl, but šš¼šš¼šš¼* And yeah, in a way, the mystery girl appeared at just the right moment for Mila.
Hi to you too, dear Anon šš¼š. I donāt know if she expressly asked her to be her girlfriend, I mean, I wasnāt there š¤£. 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 wasnāt ready yet.
And thatās okay. Thatās your opinion. Youād already explained it and I explained to you that itās not like that for me because for me, the song is based on the sex and the friendship with benefits theyāve had.
Hi to you again, dear Anon šš¼š. He didnāt 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 couldnāt 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, itās okay if you think differently. Weāre all different in the world and we perceive things in a different way. Thatās also the beauty of it š. Not so good but I hope youāre doing well instead, dear, and have a nice day š.
Hi to you too, dear Anon šš¼š. And yes, youāre absolutely right. When I wrote the Preludeās answers, Prelude wasnāt out yet and Iād only watched the live performance, so I didnāt 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 š¤.
Hi to you too, baby CS Anon šš¼š. 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 AMAās oneĀ because people in our fandom and not, still believe that the leaked things were true. Exactly as with the AMAās 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 šš¼. Having said that, youāll have it soon, dear š.
Hi to you too, dear Anon šš¼š! Sorry, dear, Iām genuinely confused here š . Why would you want me to analyze a song she didnāt write? Itās like youāre asking me to give you my interpretation of Dianeās point of view/life. Unlike Mila who acted as a ghostwriter after giving Anyone to Justin, Laur didnāt 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, Iām genuinely confused for real. Although it could fit the girls, and Iām 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 itās not her words, dear?
HI to you too, dear Anon šš¼š. Yeah, I noticed what you did there, dear, and thank you š. I really appreciate it š¤. I prefer to think that those who donāt greet before the question, do so because theyāre new to my blog and therefore donāt know that I get a little disappointed when they donāt. Besides being a matter of manners, itās 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 canāt even know what their mood is at that moment, and if itās bad, I assure you that some asks at that moment tend to even seem demands. Itās 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 š.
So, yeah, as I believe you know, Iām a person who always tries to treat everyone with respect and kindness, and thatās why I expect the same in return. You can also notice the difference in my answers by comparing them to who greets and who doesnāt because, again, itās a matter of mutual manners and respect. And if it happens that I havenāt been that nice to someone, then itās because they werenāt to me in the first place. People tend to, I donāt know, perhaps forget that on the other side of the screen thereās an actual human being like them, and they should wake up for a moment and be aware of it because this is something Iāve 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 someoneās life whoās going through a bad period šš¼.
Now about your questions, my dear, itās totally okay for me to answer š. Even in the future, if you have any other personal questions, or you want advice, or you want to vent, or anything else, Iām here. Iām available to answer without any problem š.
1) Fluently, Italian of course because itās 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, Iād say meh, and speak it, well, letās 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 Iāve been there several times in different cities) it was a mix of French and English š¤.
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 itās as if weāre together in the same room. With distance, communication is basically all we have, so thatās what we do. We talk. About anything. From what weāve 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.
Itās really hard not to be able to see her, not gonna lie. There are days when itās really unbearable not to be able to have her with me, but I resist. We both do and stay strong. And, actually, weāre counting the days because weāll see each other š. If everything goes well, weāll see each other next year, and I canāt fucking wait š„³.
3) It will depend on their schedules, but I believe theyāll 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 š¤£. 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. Iām glad you liked it, and thank you so much for the kind words š; that was really very nice of you š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„°š„°š„°. Youāre the awesome one š! And please, donāt thank me because itās really a pleasure for me to help in any way I can š. I hope youāre healthy and have a good day too, my dear Anon, and I love you too š. Oh and, about that babe? Run š¤£š¤£š¤£.
Hi to you too, dear Anon šš¼š.
1) Yes, I do. I donāt know why you have doubts about it, dear, but itās an injustice because, as a bisexual girl myself, weāre always questioned about it. When a person says theyāre bisexual, then theyāre actually a selfish person, a liar, indecisive because theyāll have to choose a side in the end, easy, and even greedy because theyāre attracted to both genders. Theyāre not a āgood dating materialā because theyāre āscared of commitmentā, and theyāre just confused and looking for attention. If a guy says heās bi, then heās actually gay, and if a girl says sheās bisexual, then either sheās actually a lesbian but declares herself bi because sheās not ready to admit it, or sheās actually straight and hers is just a phase and that therefore will end up with a guy anyway. Like.. no. Thatās not how it works. My sexuality doesnāt change based on who Iām with, Iām monogamous, not polygamous, and I donāt choose who to be attracted to because unlike actions, itās not something you can control, and itās 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 theyāre 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 theyāre 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, itās such a wide spectrum š¤·š»āāļø. 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 hasnāt yet been an opportunity and others perhaps out of fear. There are those confused who still donāt know, etc., etc., and thatās 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 didnāt know what the latter was before. And thatās totally fine and thatās normal because as I said before, sexuality in general is very fluid and can change over the course of life. Thereās 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 (š¤£).
3) Yeeeep.
Yeah, we have confirmation of that, dear Anon. But no, donāt put Mila in the middle of this because their careers and choices are different. Laur didnāt need Milaās 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, itās hers. Physical and digital distribution are AWALās duties, but everything else like for example the money investment, advertising, marketing, promotional, legal costs, video production, tour support, etc., belong to her. [If youāre interested in understanding more of what Iām 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, itās not the reality. By that, I mean that I donāt 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, thatās the music industry. But theyāre both businesswomen. They can help each other if they want, but they donāt need it. I donāt know if I explained myself with this.
And donāt 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 theyāll surely have plans for the future (like all couples). This, however, doesnāt mean that theyāll face the same path. Think of it as a couple of doctors. They both work in the same hospital, but they donāt carry out the same tasks because theyāre 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, Laurenās not creative, she doesnāt go with the flow, sheās not intuitive, sheās not a nurturing person, sheās not a healer, she doesnāt listen, sheās not an open-minded and flexible person, sheās not gentle, sheās not wise, sheās not patient, sheās not a people pleaser, sheās not empathetic, and she doesnāt express her feelings, right? Yeah, no, sure, because, this little list I just gave you? Represents the traits of the divine feminine energy š¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļø.
As I think youāve understood, I strongly disagree, dear Anon. And not because I think Laur is divine feminine energy, but because sheās both! Whoever wrote that, must have forgotten (or doesnāt 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: āThe world isnāt split into good people and Death Eaters. Weāve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. Thatās who we really areā. Sorry, but I had to š¤.
If thatās why, itās 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 sideās associated with verbal communication and reasoning, and in the divine energies, itās 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 sideās associated with emotional (and non-verbal) communications and emotionality, and in the divine energies, itās associated with the feminine one.
What does that mean? That one part of the brain shuts down or goes on vacation while the otherās working š¤£? 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 Iām 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, youāre a bit controlling (masculine energy trait) with them because you want that what theyāve 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 youāre also quite creative (feminine energy trait) in preparing something for the both of you.
So, as youāve 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 youāre having, but theyāre 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. Doesnāt that ring a bell?
Besides, āLauren is the Divine Masculine confirmedā. Confirmed? Pfft, confirmed by whom? Confirmed by themselves who apparently donāt even know the traits of the divine energies? Ah, okay then š¤·š»āāļø *Iām sorry if I looked a little bit mean here, but I donāt understand the point of talking just to talk without knowing. Plus, Iām very protective of the girls as I think is noticeable*
āSheās the runner, sheās the track star and thatās exactly why This Love was born.ā
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 wasnāt ready to accept herself yet. Camila was also the runner. Theyāve both been during their relationship at different times and for different reasons. This Love was absolutely not born for that. It doesnāt even talk about that. Iāll copy two parts of my interpretationĀ (last ask):
āāIn your opinion, what inspired it?ā. 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 couldnāt 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).ā + āIn addition to what Iāve already explained to you at the beginning and during my interpretation, Iād like to add that This Love is a manifestation of the frustration that Mila went through. A scream to say āenough, I canāt take it anymoreā, and at the same time, the surrender on falling back into the same cycle because she couldnāt lose her. In a nutshell, with this, we witnessed the contrast, the struggle, and the contradiction of her own behavior.ā
Yeah, I can, dear Anon. No problem š.
So. As I explained in a very old postĀ from which Iāll copy and paste pieces, āConsequences 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.ā As you can see in this video.
āAmy 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.ā Mila herself explained everything briefly at 33:18 here. And this; the screenshot of the video she posted on the 8th:
Consequences was Milaās 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 Iāll explain in the interpretation], Mila realized she couldnāt 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 Somethingās Gotta Give. In Consequences, Mila realized she couldnāt 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 Somethingās Gotta Give (song not only centered on Lauren), Mila made the decision to leave everything behind; so letās say the answer to Let Me Know. Oh and, the effects of the Consequences lasted even after Somethingās Gotta Give, therefore even after they broke up.
Letās move on to the interpretation now š.
Verse 1:
āDirty tissues, trust issues
Glasses on the sink, they didnāt fix youā
The way I see it, Mila wasnāt talking about herself in the first verse as everyone thought, but she was describing what she saw and felt. Iāll 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, theyāre actually the same song (Consequences & Expectations). In the sense that theyāre 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 sheād 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. Whyās that? Because I donāt know if youāve 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 itās 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 āthey didnāt fix youā, and she certainly wasnāt 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 theyāre going through a difficult time in their life. But alcohol doesnāt help to forget. It doesnāt make the pain go away. And it certainly doesnāt solve lifeās problems. This is what Mila meant by fix. Drinking could be an escape and a distraction, but it couldnāt 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. Laurās 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 wasnāt enough, Trust Issue is also the title of an unreleased song by Laur.
āLonely pillows in a strangerās bed
Little voices in my headā
Mila continued to describe what was happening and what she was feeling.
āLonely pillowsā because Laur was alone in that big bed, and the second pillow wasnāt occupied by her. āin a strangerās bedā because obviously by traveling, they were in hotels most of the time.
By āLittle voices in my headā 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, itās our own voice the one we hear in our head? Well, itās 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:
āSecret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasnāt eating
All the souls that I canāt listen to, to tell the truthā
āSecret keeping, stop the bleedingā and āAll the souls that I canāt listen to, to tell the truthā go together.
Secret keeping: her sexuality, their relationship, Laurās PR with Luggage, her eventual exit from the group, and all the different hidden truths that she canāt tell yet.
stop the bleeding: bleeding has several metaphors, but for this case, weāre 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 itās 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 didnāt show it. Hiding it as another hidden truth with a large band-aid so that the clothes wouldnāt stain and that blood wouldnāt be shown. That way, no one could see it but it was still down there anyway.
All the souls that I canāt listen to: people who loved/love her, who wanted/want her free. Friends, family, and yes, even us fans. All the people she couldnāt/canāt listen to, to tell the truth: the connection with what I said before, that is, the different hidden truths that she still canāt tell.
Lost a little weight because I wasnāt 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. Milaās experienced both. In the past it was the loss of it, from 2018 instead, the increase of it. C: āI have this pattern of eating a lot when Iām anxious or uncomfortable. Itās a comfort thing for me. Iāll just kind of become unconscious and zombie-eat a lot, and then Iāll feel sick.ā
Chorus:
āLoving 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 defensesā
This describes the initial honeymoon phase perfectly.Ā Wild,Ā cool,Ā hot,Ā sweet,Ā youngĀ because they really were,Ā free,Ā safe and sound,Ā a steady place to let down my defenses. A beautiful list of things Laur made her feel. Plus the link with sunshine. If youāve read my āInaugurationā post someĀ time ago, then you know Laur is the sun in their story.
āBut loving you had consequencesā
But loving her also had consequences. Iāll 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: āI guess everything has a consequenceā.
Verse 2:
āHesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectationā
If they werenāt arguing, if they werenāt ignoring each other, and if they werenāt having sex, then they were trying to have a ānormalā 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 wouldāve 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:
āEvery siren that I was ignoring
Iām payinā for itā
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 myĀ This LoveĀ interpretationĀ (last ask), she didnāt use the noās as words to keep the rhythm, but as a way to express denial.
Different chorus:
āLoving you was dumb, dark, and cheapā
As in the original chorus, here too we have a list, but careful. She wasnāt talking about how Laur the person made her feel, but how that toxic situation she was in with Laur made her feel.
āLoving you will still take shots at meā
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).
āFound loving you was sunshine, but then it pouredā
Because, again, the situation had changed. It was toxic. It was no longer the initial honeymoon phase. This was the end.
āAnd I lost so much more than my sensesā
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 weāre able to perceive hot and cold temperatures. We have the sense of pressure with which weāre able to perceive pressure on a specific area of the body. We have the one of proprioception with which weāre 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? Weād be completely lost. But is this what Mila meant by I lost so much more than my senses? Yes and no. Letās focus on the meanings of losing senses now. We have: 1) fainting, 2) losing oneās mind, 3) unable to be found or recovered, 4) unable to find oneās way or ascertain oneās 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: sheād lost herself and her mental and physical health.
āāCause loving you had consequences
+ Outro:
Yeah, loving youā
Consequences are the results or unpleasant outcomes of an action; of something being done. Despite this, however, the song isnāt just about that. It doesnāt just talk about the bad and the ugly. It doesnāt 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 didnāt feel regret about how things had gone. Mila herself said it in the Zach Sang Show interview:
Zach: āWhen you love so deep and you love so hard, whoever may be, a friend, or a relative, a significant other, there are consequences. Thereās baggage that comes along with thatā.
Camila: āMm-hmm *agreement*. But I love how in that song, thereās no regret in itā.
Zach: āYesā.
Mila: āYou know? Itās kind of just like acknowledging āyeah, now Iām dealing with the aftermath, but itās not like I shouldāve neverāā. It was kind of like āthis was so intense and crazy and now it sucks but, it was still- it was still worth itāā.
And thatās it, dear Anon š. In life, most things arenāt all good or all bad. Itās 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 myĀ Always LoveĀ interpretationĀ (penultimate ask):Ā āMila used to say āI know Iād do it again if I couldā 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, āit was fineā. āIt was fineā because, despite the pain in everything theyāve been through, theirs was love with a capital L. Without that pain, they wouldnāt have learned from their mistakes, and they wouldnāt have grown into themselves by helping each other and eventually meeting halfway to make their relationship work better. Everything, EVERYTHING, was worth itā.
Have a nice day too, dear š¤.
For my favorite Romance song along with This Love? Of course š. With pleasure, dear Anon š.
Letās start with clarifying for those who donāt know when Shameless was made. It wasnāt made in June after SeƱorita (not even SeƱorita was made in June if thatās 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.
Letās 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 itās only about an hourās 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 šš¼):
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 hereĀ min 0:55), was that Liar and Shameless were written on the same day just before the rehearsal of the SeƱorita music video, but she was lying through her teeth. You can tell from her body language. How she changed after saying left. āAnd I leftā, she looked at the camera normally, āācause I had to go to rehearsalā, 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 wasnāt enough, we have the dates. The narrative says that SeƱorita was made fast in June and that the music video was shot even faster that same month, but thatās 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 (Milaās 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 SeƱorita music video. Here (min 1:05), she wasnāt lying. She asked Sinu for help initially because she didnāt want to mess up. I mean, you can see the panic all over her face š¤£. Sinu went with the narrative version by saying āafter rehearsalā. Mila: āUmm. They were written right beforeāā ; Sinu by trying to correct her: āRight afterā ; Mila by messing up anyway: āRight after- Right before, umm. Like a week before we filmed the SeƱorita videoā. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£. The smile she made after telling the truth was priceless š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£.
As youāve 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 SeƱorita video ended, and the shooting started the next day. So it was the truth that time. The lie wasnāt on that date, but in saying they recorded SeƱorita in June for the narrative.
Before starting with my interpretation, Iād 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 itās bullshit regardless, but the phrase āMy kisses are history, they go back a long timeā 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 SeƱorita 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? š¤·š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš„±(š¤š¤£). But anyway. This is not what I wanted to point out. That was just the obvious š¤£.
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 āI want him, then I donāt want himā friendzone crap weāve heard even up until recently, you know? But letās put aside Shrimp who doesnāt have a shit to do with it, and letās 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 wasnāt 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.
Letās start with the interpretation, but itās gonna be slightly different from what I usually do, okay? Letās go šš¼.
These are the two verses as we know them:
Verse 1:
āDonāt speak, no, donāt try
Itās been a secret for the longest time
Donāt run (oh), no, donāt hide
Been running from it for the longest timeā
Verse 2:
āSo weāre there, now itās real
Now that you have me, do you want me still?
My kisses are history, they go back a long time, uh
And Iām tired of loving somebody thatās not mine, noā
Now Iām gonna put them in a single sentence in a different way from the real order, and then Iām 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 š¤£: Donāt speak, no, donāt try. Donāt run, no, donāt hide. Been running from it for the longest time. Itās been a secret for the longest time. So weāre there, now itās real. Now that you have me, do you want me still? My kisses are history, they go back a long time. And Iām tired of loving somebody thatās not mine.
āDonāt speak, no, donāt tryā
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 āSo why canāt you show me? Who are you in the dark?ā), or excuses to avoid the subject, or run away (this is connected with the next two sentences).
āDonāt run (oh), no, donāt hide
Been running from it for the longest timeā
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,Ā All These YearsĀ (interpretation here, last ask). She saw her again on February 12, 2017, at the Grammysā after-party, and bam,Ā In the DarkĀ (interpretation here, last ask).
This whole piece (Donāt run (oh), no, donāt hide. Been running from it for the longest time) is connected with āYouāre runninā, runninā, runninā, runninā (oh) - Runninā, runninā away from it (away)ā by In the Dark. Thereās the reference and the connection with exactly what Mila explained happened that night. (In the Dark) Runninā, runninā away from it = Been running from it (Shameless). Youāve 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 wouldāve stayed and that she was ready. That was the first step. Itās 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 thatās 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 š¤£.
No, Iām just kidding no, Iām not š¤£. She usedĀ the longest timeĀ even as a reference to the past of the beginning of their story. Same reference and connection as we find in the next sentence:
āItās been a secret for the longest timeā
I mean, hello???? š¶ The greatest love story thatās never been told š¶ Duh!
āSo weāre there, now itās real
Now that you have me, do you want me still?ā
Mila was basically saying: āAfter everything weāve been through, weāre here now. Iām 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). Iām 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 Iām here to stay (reference with āI promise that I wonāt runā by In the Dark). Iām yours. Iām ready and I wanna try again (reference with āBut if you say try again, Iād be ready. Iām readyā 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?ā.
āMy kisses are history, they go back a long time, uh
And Iām tired of loving somebody thatās not mine, noā
My kisses are history, they go back a long time. Again as before, duh šš¤. 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 Yearās one). That phrase was a way like if to say āweāve known each other for a long timeā which connects toĀ And Iām tired of loving somebody thatās not mine. Mila explained what this actually means:
Therefore, with these two sentences, sheās saying: ā weāve known each other for a long time. Weāve been through this before and Iām tired of loving you from afar without being able to act on it. Iām tired of loving you without being able to be with you for realā. Not to mention the fact that sheās never been able to do it properly. Sheās never been able to be with her in a free way since theyāre two queer female celebrities, and I canāt imagine how exhausting THAT can be.
So. After analyzing the first two verses in this way, we get: Donāt speak, no, donāt try. Itās time for you to listen to me, and donāt run, no, donāt hide. Youāve been running from it for the longest time (from the All These Yearsā meeting). This, ours, itās been a secret for the longest time. So weāre there, now itās real. Iām standing here in front of you, and itās more real than ever. Now that you have me, do you want me still? My kisses are history, they go back a long time (weāve known each other for a long time) and Iām tired of loving somebody thatās not mine (Iām tired of loving you from afar without being able to act on it. Iām tired of loving you without being able to be with you for real).
Now itās clearer why I donāt 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 wasnāt too messed up š . Iāll continue with the usual way now.
Pre-Chorus:
āSo many mornings I woke up confused
In my dreams, I do anything I want to you
My emotions are naked, theyāre taking me out of my mindā
š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤š„µš„µš„µ 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 (š), 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 wasnāt 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 (theyāre 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:
āRight now, Iām shamelessā
The rasp hereā¦ā¦ā¦ The. Rasp. Here. š„!!!!! By hearing that part, I was like: š¶ Right now Iām deeeaad š¶ Iām just saying šš»āāļøš¤£.
āScreaminā my lungs out for ya
Not afraid to face it
I need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want toā
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 wasnāt afraid to face it; the opposite of what Laur was doing āBeen running from itā that we find in the first verse. She felt neither ashamed nor afraid to admit all her feelings to such an extent that she wouldāve been willing to even metaphorically scream it out (screaminā my lungs out for ya).
āShow me youāre shamelessā
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.
āWrite it on my neck, why donāt ya?
And I wonāt erase itā
This is another powerful way to tell her she was hers. She was like: āyou can even write on my neck who I belong to. Mark meā (even with, you know, the mark of a bite or a hickey š). Another metaphor that lets us understand how like, almost desperate Mila was. How completely at her mercy she was.
Oh and, letās not forget the promo clip for the song. I mean, thereās 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:
āš¼ And thatās the devil talking!! š¤£š¤£š¤£ Sorry guys, but that was just a joke since the one in the GIF is the actor who plays Lucifer in Supernatural š.
āI need you more than I want to
Need you more than I want toā
And the repetition of how much she needed her. How much she wanted her.
Post-Chorus:
āNo-oh, uh-uh, donāt wanna do this now
No-oh, uh-uh, donāt wanna do this now
No-oh, uh-uh, donāt wanna do this now
No-oh, uh-uh, donāt wanna do this nowā
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 didnāt want to do it. She didnāt want to repress anything anymore, and indeed, she didnāt. She was shameless about it.
Bridge:
āDistance, 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 donāt care if Iām forgivenā
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 thatās 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 didnāt even care if Laur forgave her. They wouldāve thought about forgiveness and talked about everything after⦠If you know what I mean š.
And thatās it, dear Anon š. This underrated masterpiece is precisely about, indeed, being shameless. Shameless is about taking action on repressed emotions. Itās about being bold and shooting your shot. And as Mila herself said, itās about āloving with your heart open and not being afraid of itā.
š¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāāš¤øš»āāā
Aaand Iām done š. Thank you all for your asks and I hope Iāve been helpful this time too š. As usual, Iām always available for those who have questions, so ask away š.
Remember to be nice.Ā Always. Both with others and with yourselves. Be a good example. Be patient. Be safe and take care of yourselves. Donāt let our ship sink. Keep shipping them, but please respectfully šš¼. Sending you virtual love and hugs š¤š¤š¤. I love you, babies. Always with love,Ā FĀ ā¤ļø.
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 gameā¦..Theyāve been ābroken-upā a couple weeks, and Heās already trying to profit off of it. FAKE bullshit at itās finestā¦ā¦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. š¤”

ok ok listen⦠I swear iām 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 āEsto eā un perreo paā las nenas Que estĆ”n solteraā (now Ik some of you donāt speak Spanish but nenas is plural form of girl in Spanish meaning girls andĀ estĆ”n is plural form of are in Spanish meaning more than one person) which means āthis is a grinding song for the girls who are singleā but L doesnāt say that instead she doesnāt even say the whole phrase and she uses the singular version of that phrase and says āesta paā la nena que esta solteraā which for those of you who donāt speak Spanish means āthis is for the girl who is singleā. (I speak Spanish btw so I know what iām talking about lmao) Now this wouldnāt be such a big deal IF we didnāt know that recently a certain brown eyed Cuban-Mexican girl is publicly single after 2 years of dating her supposed Canadian āboyfriendā.
Also can we just point out the fact that she hasnāt done this in any other show that sheās 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?!?Ā
Like come on I hate being one of those āeverything is a signā 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 iām sorry but she did it on purpose.
āāāāāā
I love this š
(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 š©
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 ā¤
