Lyric discussion by alison8711 

I think we've all got a firm grasp on this song.. the only thing I'd like to add is something about the Midas reference. I doubt Florence meant it this way since she's not american- though I'm sure she is aware of the music here. But you know, we have "hit makers" here. They're probably all over the world, but since I'm american, I am most familiar with the ones here. But we have these producers and stuff who produce HITS. Fun songs with catchy hooks, infectious beats... and very little attention to lyrical content. But they're fun summer songs. It's your favorite song for about a month but then you get sick of it cause it's just a shallow pop song. I like to believe she is saying that a singer needs to be wary of these producers with the midas touch, because it too is a curse.

but it's a fantastic song! It sounds so ethereal and it has like a pagan goddess feel. It's like floaty.. It seems like she could be levitating at any given moment due to this song.

Thank you! I never really thought of that before, but I agree with you. It makes perfect sense.
