storytelling in tracklisting (MY interpretation) this album is primarily associated with sexual liberation (true), but it’s also darker. heavier tones are woven into each track, but are often sandwiched between sultry lyrics that divert from the internal battle ongoing. thread:

it’s a memento mori (“remember you must die”) that’s why! beyond being kobe’s favorite song of hers, it was equally fitting thematic wise for her performance at his memorial
this song gets me so sad like

also deeper analysis I pulled from: wired.com/2014/01/beyonce-ch…
Replying to @beytrash
memento mori, a looming reminder that beyond pretty lights & colors, life and love are in fact finite. as it shifts from craving desirability by someone else to finding herself again, love can flourish, but with a timer: “we dont have forever…kiss me before our time has run out”
