Mini-critique N°240

Paroles :

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

Me and my boyfriend listen to the Chili Peppers

We write hit songs without trying like all the time, all the time

I take off all my clothes, dance naked for the neighbors

I'm like, "Fuck it, gonna give a show", I open up the blinds

I threw caution to the wind, get onto the bike

Take a minute to yourself, skinny-dip in my mind

I'm in love

I'm in love

Got a knife in my jacket, honey, I'm divine

Baby, I'll bring the coffee if you bring the wine

I'm in love

I'm in love

('Cause I'm in love)

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

I sit upskirt, I don't have much to lose

I got a dog, I take it for a midnight, a midnight drive, yeah

My boyfriend tested positive for COVID, it don't matter

We've been kissing, so whatever he has, I have, I can't cry

I threw caution to the wind, get onto the bike

Take a minute for myself, skinny-dip in my mind

I'm in love

I'm in love

(I'm in love)

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

You know, you should, like, merge the songs (maybe you should do something like)

The Dick Dale type song (you know that song that's like)

Where like, the Wipeout I think?

You know what I'm saying? The one that's like, "Wipeout, Wipeout"

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie

Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie

Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair

Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha

Critique :

''Peppers'' est le quinzième titre du neuvième album studio de Lana Del Rey, ''Did you know that there’s under Ocean Blvd''. On y retrouve le rappeur canadien Tommy Genesis et un sample de ''Angelina'', extrait de son album World Vision, sorti en 2015.

Sur ''Peppers'', Lana et Tommy chantent sur l'incarnation de la confiance et du charme d'Angelina Jolie. En se comparant à l'actrice emblématique, ils assument leur assurance et leur sexualité, avec des paroles comme ''Hands on your knees, I’m Angelina Jolie''. Cette déclaration audacieuse est une métaphore de l'acceptation de sa puissance intérieure et de son expression personnelle.

Bien que certains aient affirmé que la chanson faisait partie de la fuite ''March 1st Side A'', toutes les affirmations concernant la fuite de Peppers sont fausses.
