Tennis Court
Lorde Lyrics
Don't you think that it's boring how people talk
Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasing a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me (Yeah)
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I fuck with the fun again, when I'm known
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne
But I know it's not forever (Yeah)
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)
Getting caught soft with the triple is it
I fall apart, with all my heart
And you can watch from your window
And you can watch from your window
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (Yeah)

Let me explain this clip for those who do not understand the interesting message that he wants to spend ...
Making a reference to the hairstyle of the French youth of the period of the French Revolution, she cites the tennis court of the agreement, when commoners took court of France and managed to destabilize the current monarchy in the period.
Every movement expresses a different feeling, all melancholy as usual.
The flashing lights represent the Enlightenment philosophy at the time of the Revolution, in contrast to the darkness of the setting and the character's clothes.
The black lens shows a girl whose soul can not be interpreted by the look, we have to unravel that abstraction every flash of light while she gives a striking battle cry: 'yeah'.
All this combined with a youthful letter, inviting those who listen to that sound to think, to stand up and do everything different from what has already been established.
Tennis Court sheds light on ancient ideals and cry about a new way of making art, a clear art, which everyone can understand and, above all, a minimalist and cultured art.
Noteworthy are the movements that represent: boredom to set, awakening of new ideals, loneliness, mockery, anger and boredom ...
