Maturing is realizing…
That Beyoncé was talking to herself for most of lemonade not Jay z. I realized it like a year ago when I was listening to it in order and I realized a lot of the calmer songs like all night and the beginning part of hold up(music video) seemed more like self reassurance.
Another example is “why do you deny yourself heaven?” she’s asking herself why do you let yourself be treated like this. And also, “if it’s what you truly want, I can wear her skin.” This might be a stretch but I really think she’s talking to herself when she says this, because she’s is likely asking herself “why her?” Or why did he do it to me?
A lot of the louder songs like don’t hurt yourself is her expressing anger towards him and showing him who tf she is💀. Same thing with sorry but not the sorry demo the vibes are different.
A perfect in between with this concept is love drought. While she is talking to Jay z, the song is more for the both of them. She’s trying to reconcile with her husband. And even then and feel like it’s more for her and her trying to stop the the love drought.
Atp the whole album is for her and her dealing with the mix of emotions she’s having. And 4:44(Jay Z’s apology) is a direct result of lemonade. I’m gonna make another post for that though.🙄
my professor always watched me write when doing research and he’d be like “yknow you’re supposed to be smart like me! left handed people are smart!” like he forgets every single time.
today he said “yknow that’s why you are brilliant, left-handed!”
