Stoned at the Nail Salon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got a wishbone drying on the windowsill in my kitchen
Just in case I wake up and realise I've chosen wrong
I love this life that I have
The vine hanging over the door
And the dog who comes when I call
But I wonder sometimes what I'm missing
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, my hot blood's been burning for so many summers now
It's time to cool it down, wherever that leads
[Chorus]
'Cause all the beautiful girls, they will fade like the roses
And all the times they will change, it'll all come around
I don't know
Maybе I'm just stoned at the nail salon
Maybe I'm just stonеd at the nail salon again
[Verse 2]
Got a memory of waiting in your bed wearing only my earrings
We'd go dancing all over the landmines under our town
But the sun has to rise
When it does, we'll divide up the papers
Two former hell-raisers
I'm still crazy for you, babe
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, my hot blood's been burning for so many summers now
It's time to cool it down, wherever that leads
[Chorus]
'Cause all the music you loved at sixteen you'll grow out of
And all the times they will change, it'll all come around
I don't know
Maybe I'm just
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again
[Bridge]
Oh, make it good
Oh, make it good
I'd ride and I'd ride on the carousel
'Round and 'round forever if I could
But it's time to cool it down
Whatever that means
[Chorus]
Spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you
'Cause all the times they will change, it'll all come around
I don't know
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again

What did Lorde say about "Stoned at the Nail Salon"?
That kind of searching, being unsure that I had chosen the right path and feeling lonely, I don’t see those as permanent or even bad emotions. It’s all part of the thing [life] to feel that trepidation. Maybe it is sad, but I’m very comfortable in the periods of limbo, or times where I feel afraid o...

What did Lorde say regarding the song's instrumentation and arrangement?

This one is pretty much all Jack just playing everything – playing bass, playing beautiful guitar – and then I arranged all the vocals, had Phoebe, Claire, and all the boys come and sing. But yeah, it’s definitely one of the quietest, most int...
What is the meaning behind the song?
In a press statement, Lorde wrote:
This song is sort of a rumination on getting older, settling into domesticity, and questioning if you’ve made the right decisions. I think lots of people start asking those questions of themselves around my age, and it was super comforting to me writing them down,...
What else have the artists said about the song?
This was one of the first few we wrote. I think of it as coming right at the tail end of Melodrama. My life is very low-key and very domestic. It’s like the life of a hippie housewife. It really struck me when the Grammys or VMAs were on and I was trying to get a stream on my computer and I couldn’t...
What did Lorde say about the background vocals?
There are some beautiful singers on this whole album with me, but you really hear them on this song. Marlon Williams, James Milne of Lawrence Arabia, Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo. It was such a cool foresome to me hearing their voices. The girls in particular, I love their work with harmonies and had...
What else has Lorde said about the song?
This song is one that I wrote after coming off tour. This weird thing happens to me… tour is so big and intense and bright, and you go home, and for me my life is very slow, domestic. I’m cooking again, I’m gardening again, and the existential crisis starts to creep in where I’m like “What am I doin...
