When asked about “Drunk in LA” in interviews with Pitchfork and Stereogum, Legrand describes the song’s imagery as “an old starlet sitting in a bar in the dark by herself, someone who maybe had an insane life that no one will know about because there’s no one to talk to but themselves now,” and admi...
Drunk in LA Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can't help seeking corners
Of dark and dead-end rooms
Where the drinks keep pouring down
And the candles keep me warm
Isolation tenders
Something fragile coming soon
Skinny angels making eyes at cameras
Perched in every room
[Chorus]
I had a good run playing horses in my mind
Left my heart out somewhere running
Wanting strangers to be mine
Memory's a sacred meat
That's drying all the time
On a hillside, I remember
I am loving losing life
[Verse 2]
Strawberries in springtime
Pretty happy accidents
My awareness that I'm lucky
Rolling clouds over cement
Maybe there's a screenplay
Or a bathroom I can hide
Down the hallways of a high school
And the dances left behind
[Chorus]
I had a good run playing horses in my mind
Left my heart out somewhere running
Wanting strangers to be mine
I would climb the Eiffel Tower
Write letters on the sky
How many turns it took to reach you
[Outro]
I had a good run playing horses in my mind
On a hillside, I remember
I am loving losing life

A really good one is “Drunk in LA.” There’s this reall...
What have the artists said about the lyrics?
Victoria Legrand: There’s a lot of imagery throughout the record, like the shooting stars on “Woo,” that could be related to that kind of thing.
