“i think there’s something about being a young woman that feels very murderous. that’s what i was trying to get with a song like ‘dream girl evil.’ it can be dangerous for people to think you’re incredibly nice. when you get, ‘you’re an angel,’ that seems like such a high place to fall from. when i see messy or violent or terribly behaved women, especially young women, there’s a liberation. to not have to try and survive by being good.”

its been eight months and im still just in awe of dance fever. florence calls herself mommy in one song and demon daddy in another. in the same song she calls herself mommy she makes fun of asshole dudes who project their mommy issues onto women. in the first song shes no mother shes no bride she is king. shes a girlboss shes a war criminal shes a lunatic. shes the next virgin mary and shes never going to die. she drinks blood she cant get off the bathroom floor she has more catholic taste than the devil shes gilded and golden and shes your girl. she doesnt know where to put her love she just keeps spinning and shes going to dance herself to death. shes blown apart her life for you her bodys hit the floor for you she cant see you she cant hear you everything she thought she knew has fallen out of view. gods gonna be sorry he messed with her if she can stop crying into cereal at midnight. she practices resurrection every night shell open her mouth yes shell take it all is she quiet enough for you yet. shes always running from something shes back in town she wants the rats to spin around her feet with you.

btw Dream Girl Evil by Florence + the Machine was written about lily evans
the way snape treated her like a perfect fantasy “dream girl” that he could project onto but the second she did something he didn’t like and shattered the illusion by being an actual multilayered human being he became enraged and turned on her
and the way the fandom does the same exact bullshit, treating her like a perfect saint mother and wife instead of an actual realistic human being with flaws and complexities, and then the second she doesn’t serve a man’s story (cough cough jegulus shippers cough cough) they turn her into a villain or toss her aside completely

Did I disappoint you? Did mommy make you sad? Do I at least remind you of every girl that made you mad? Make me perfect, make me your fantasy. You know I deserve it. Well, take it out on me. Am I your dream girl? You think of me in bed, but you could never hold me. You liked me better in your head. Make me evil, then I'm an angel instead. At least you'll sanctify me when I'm dead.
