Flowers fue la canción con la que Miley Cyrus volvió después de un parón musical para revolucionar la industria. Poco después de que Shakira sacara toda su bilis contra Gerard Piqué en su tema con Bizarrap, la protagonista de Hannah Montana lanzó su Flowers, en el que daba la vuelta a la canción de Bruno Mars When I Was Your Man para hacer un alegato de la soledad y el empoderamiento.
Para nadie fue un secreto que Flowers estaba dedicada a Liam Hemsworth. El actor que será el próximo Geralt de Rivia en The Witcher de Netflix fue pareja de Miley Cyrus durante años, pero la relación acabó y a la cantante le quedó mucho por decirle. Y como When I Was Your Man era una canción que Hemsworth siempre le dedicaba, la usó como base para su hit.
Sin embargo, Flowers es solo el single de un disco que va mucho más allá. Miley Cyrus acaba de lanzar Endless Summer Vacation, un álbum melancólico en el que, sorpresa, hay bastantes más mensajes para Hemsworth y su pasado. Ya puede escucharse en Spotify, Apple Music y el resto de plataformas musicales. Pero, por si queréis saber bien qué dicen cada una de sus canciones, os dejamos con un resumen de todas a continuación.
01. Flowers
La primera canción del disco es la que lo ha revolucionado todo. El single acompañado de un videoclip deslumbrante en el que Miley deja atrás su pasado junto a Hemsworth para dejar claro que ella sola puede “regalarse flores y quererse mejor”. Os dejamos con la letra completa:
We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right ’til we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Paint my nails, cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
Ooh, I didn’t want to leave you, baby
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
Oh, I
I didn’t want to leave you
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (oh)
Write my name in the sand (mmh)
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby (oh)
Can love me better
I can love me better (than you can), baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I
02. Jaded
La segunda canción del disco significa literalmente Harto (Jaded) y continúa con la historia de la primera canción. En esta ocasión vuelve atrás para dejar claro que su ruptura fue dura, y aprovecha para pedir perdón por lo malo que hizo. No obstante, deja claro que el adiós es definitivo. La letra completa es la siguiente:
I don’t wanna call and talk too long
I know it was wrong, but never said I was sorry
Now I’ve had time to think it over
We’re much older and the bone’s too big to bury
Oh, isn’t it a shame that it ended like that?
Said goodbye forever, but you never unpacked
We went to hell, but we never came back
I’m sorry that you’re jaded
I could’ve taken you places
You’re lonely now and I hate it
I’m sorry that you’re jaded
You’re not even willing to look at your part
You just jump in the car and head down to the bar ’til you blurry
You don’t know when to stop, so you take it too far
And I don’t know where you are and I’m left in the dark ’til I’m worried
Ooh, and it hurts me
And it’s a fucking shame that it ended like that
You broke your own arm, but you’d never say that
We went to hell, but we never came back
I’m sorry that you’re jaded (Jaded)
I could’ve taken you places (Places)
You’re lonely now and I hate it
I’m sorry that you’re jaded
I won’t lie, it won’t be easy
When somebody new is on your body
I’ll change my number, but keep your t-shirt
I don’t mind it’s torn up and faded
I’m sorry that you’re jaded (Jaded)
I could’ve taken you places (Places)
You’re lonely now and I hate it
I’m sorry that you’re jaded
I’m sorry that you’re jaded
03. Rose Colored Lenses
Como si de una película se tratase, esta tercera canción continúa con la historia del disco de Miley Cyrus. En esta ocasión habla de un amor imposible, inalcanzable, que lleva soñando desde siempre y que no sabe si se cumplirá algún día. La letra completa, a continuación:
Sunrise got us up early
So we put on our shade
Somehow the bed sheets are dirty
Like sticky sweet lemonade
Never wanna leave this room
Daydream, déjà vu
If I had control over you
We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland
With our head above the clouds, falling stupid like we’re kids
Wearing rose-colored lenses, let’s just play pretend
Wearing rose-colored lenses, pretend we’ll never end
Naked in conversation
Drown me in your daylight
Endless summer vacation
Make it last ’til we die
My baby got looks that kill (Kill)
Make a mess of a nice hotel (Hotel)
If I had control over you
We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland
With our head above the clouds, falling stupid like we’re kids
Wearing rose-colored lenses, let’s just play pretend
Wearing rose-colored lenses, pretend we’ll never end
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever
We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland
With our head above the clouds, falling stupid like we’re kids
Wearing rose-colored lenses, let’s just play pretend
Wearing rose-colored lenses, pretend we’ll never end
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s just keep pretending (Stay like this forever)
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s just keep pretending (Stay like this forever)
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever, ah, ah
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever
Let’s stay like this forever
04. Thousand Miles (feat. Brandi Carlile)
En la cuarta canción del disco, no está claro para quién habla Miley Cyrus, pero la realidad es que habla de un amor pasado que no puede olvidar. Desde luego, después de su mensaje de empoderamiento en Flowers, no parece que también se lo dedique a Hemsworth. Aquí tenéis la letra:
Amazing
I’m driving ’round town in a beat-up old Mercedes
You think I’m crazy
You might be right
But when he smiles, I don’t care about the past
Just like that
I told myself I closed that door
But I’m right back here again
I know half of what I’m saying don’t make no sense
So don’t ask me where I’ve been
I’m not always right, but still, I ain’t got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don’t really care
I’m out of my mind, but still, I’m holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
I look in the rear-view
I was talking to you ‘fore I realized this madness
Before the sadness
Oh, I pick up the phone and I call back home
But all I get is a dial tone
And instead of hanging up, I hang my head
I told myself I closed that door
But I’m right back here again
I know half of what I’m saying don’t make no sense
So don’t ask me where I’ve been
I’m not always right, but still, I ain’t got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don’t really care
I’m out of my mind, but still, I’m holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
You might also like
I told myself I closed that door
But I’m right back here again
I know half of what I’m saying don’t make no sense
So don’t ask me where I’ve been
I’m not always right, but still, I ain’t got time for what went wrong
Where I end up, I don’t really care
I’m out of my mind, but still, I’m holding on like a rolling stone
A thousand miles from anywhere
05. You
De nuevo, la ruptura vuelve a Miley Cyrus en la que, harta de desamores, la cantante se entrega a un nuevo amor en el que explica que no tiene por qué ser eterno, pero sí útil y que le marque en la vida. Un mensaje de esperanza comedida tras mucho drama. Esta es su letra:
I wanna set off alarms
Deal out the cards
Smoke Cuban cigars
Get kicked outta bars before two
But only if it’s with you
And I wanna drive down to Texas
Flip off my exes
Get kind of reckless and have wild, wild, wild sex under the Moon
But only if it’s with you
I got some baggage
Let’s do some damage
I am not made for no horsey and carriage
You know I’m savage
You’re looking past it
I want that late night sweet magic, that forever lasting love
But only if it’s with you
Let’s crash a wedding tonight
Get drunk by the lights
Then I’ll pick a fight to make up on the floor of your room
But only if it’s with you
And I wanna cut off my hair
And kick off my boots
And dance in the wind just to do it again, yeah, it’s true
But only if it’s with you
I got some baggage
Let’s do some damage
I am not made for no horsey and carriage
You know I’m savage, but you’re looking past it
I want that late night sweet magic, that forever lasting
I’m kinda crazy ’cause that’s how you make me
I don’t need Jesus ’cause, baby, you saved me, I’m done
But only if it’s with you, oh
You, only with you, yeah, yeah
You, only with you, yeah, yeah, yeah
You, baby, it’s you
You, you, only with you
06. Handstand
La cosa se pone divertida con este hit electrónico de Miley en el que toma de referencia los mayores hits de Lady Gaga para componer un tema sobre un deseo buscado, pero que sabe que está lejos de materializarse. El amor y el sueño se confunden en un tema puramente musical. La letra no tiene desperdicio:
We met each other on the neon dinghy
Past the manta rays and palm trees
Glowing creatures beamed down from great heights
Electric eels in red venom
In the sky, we could see the riders on the horseback
On comets, coming toward us, kicking up with laughter
My friend Big Twitchy rode the boat to the light
Surfed the north break
We danced until there was nothing left
Just me and Twitchy
‘Cause that’s all we knew
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
You’re questioning the science, ’cause you don’t understand
How I’m doing what I’m doing in a fucking handstand
You found it so impressive that I do it again
My other one is busy, so I use my left hand
We took it kinda fast but you’re put it in slow
I see your mother’s calling and you’re hitting ignore
It’s like you saw a unicorn, you don’t understand
How I’m doin’ what I’m doin’ in a fucking handstand
I wish I could crawl inside your heart
Take you captive and then sail away
I wish I could know that it’s forever
Take me captive and then sail away
You’re questioning the science, ’cause you don’t understand
How I’m doing what I’m doing in a fucking handstand
You found it so impressive that I do it again
My other one is busy, so I use my left hand
We took it kinda fast but you’re put it in slow
I see your mother’s calling and you’re hitting ignore
It’s like you saw a unicorn, you don’t understand
How I’m doin’ what I’m doin’ in a fucking handstand
07. River
Miley deja atrás la melancolía en este tramo del disco para convertirlo en algo mucho más experimental, electrónico y bailable. En este tema vuelve a soltar muchas puyitas a Hemsworth y su pasado con él, dejando claro con ritmo ochentero que ella está muy por encima de lo que él ha sido nunca. Esta es su letra:
I got a new dress just to meet you downtown
Can you walk me through the park just to show it off?
I can pull my hair back in that tight way that you like
If you wrap me in your arms and never stop
Heart beats so loud that it’s drownin’ me out
Livin’ in an April shower
You’re pourin’ down, baby, drown me out (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’re just like a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’re just like a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You go on forever
You’re just like a river
You’re never runnin’ dry (Oh)
I feel you everywhere
Your face is all in my hair (Hair)
Covered up in your sweat
It turns me on that you care, baby
Your love, it flows just like a river
You’re just like a river (That’s what you are)
You’re just like a river (That’s what you are)
You’re just like a river (That’s what you are)
You’re just like a river
You’re just like a river (Heart beats so loud that it’s drownin’ me out)
You’re just like a river (Livin’ in an April shower)
You go on forever (You’re pourin’ down, baby, drown me out)
You’re just like a river
08. Violet Chemistry
La Miley Cyrus más electrónica continúa con este tema que habla sobre acabar una noche de fiesta. Cuando encienden las luces y ves a quien has tenido a tu lado toda la noche, todo puede cambiar: puede quedarse allí o puede continuar adelante. Un tema lleno de sexo, diversión y química que encaja más con la Miley de Wrecking Ball. Esta es su letra:
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
And your phone is lost
But the car’s outside, waitin’ out on the street
Tonight, we’ll just be wrong, ain’t done this in so long
We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
Stay a while, stay a while with me (Oh, oh)
Stay a while, don’t deny the violet chemistry (Oh, oh)
Stay a while, stay a while with me (Mm, no, oh)
Stay a while, put your arms around me
Put them around me
When thе floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna lеave
Can I bum a cigarette? (Bum a cigarette)
We could paint our names in black on the marquee
Tonight, we’ll just be wrong (Wrong), ain’t done this in so long (Long)
We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
Stay a while, stay a while with me (Oh, oh)
Stay a while, don’t deny the violet chemistry (Oh, oh)
Stay a while, stay a while with me (Mm, no, oh)
Stay a while, put your arms around me
Put them around me
Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes
Mixing all the colors like we’re makin’ a Monet
There’s something between us that’s too major to ignore
May not be eternal but nocturnal, nothin’ more
Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes
Mixing all the colors like we’re makin’ a Monet
There’s something between us that’s too major to ignore
May not be eternal but nocturnal, nothin’ more
Tonight, we’ll just be wrong (Wrong), ain’t done this in so long (Long)
We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on
Stay a while, stay a while with me (Oh, oh)
Stay a while, don’t deny the violet chemistry (Oh, oh)
Stay a while, stay a while with me (Mm, no, oh)
Stay a while, put your arms around me
Put them around me
Stay with me a while, stay with me a while
Stay with me a while, stay with me a while
Stay with me a while, stay with me a while
Stay with me a while, stay with me a while
09. Muddy Feet (feat. Sia)
Ni más ni menos que Sia acompaña a Miley Cyrus en el noveno tema de Endless Summer Vacation. La cantante le acompaña en un tema lleno de puyas, en el que se insultan con una mala baba bestial. Deja claro que es para su ex, hablando de una infidelidad y de algo que le ha hecho muchísimo daño. Toda la letra a continuación:
I don’t know
Who the hell you think you’re messin’ with
Get the fuck out of my house with that shit
Get the fuck out of my life with that shit
And I don’t know
Who the hell you think you’re messin’ with
Get the fuck out of my house with that shit
Get the fuck out of my life with that shit
And you smell like perfume that I didn’t purchase
Now I know why you’ve been closing the curtains (Uh-uh)
Get the fuck out of my house
You’re comin’ ’round
With your muddy feet
I’ma about to do some ’bout it
Yeah, I’ma have to do some ’bout it
You keep comin’ ’round
With your muddy feet
And I’ma have to do some ’bout it
Yeah, I’ma about to do some ’bout it
Back and forth
Always questioning my questioning
Get thе fuck out of my head with that shit
Get the fuck out of my bеd with that shit
You’ve watered the weeds and you killed all the roses
Worthy arrives when the other door closes (Uh-uh)
So get the fuck out of my house with that shit
You’re comin’ ’round (Comin’ ’round, baby)
With your muddy feet
I’ma about to do some ’bout it (What I do)
Yeah, I’ma have to do some ’bout it (What I do)
And I don’t know
Who you’re messin’ with
And I’ma have to do some ’bout it (What I do)
Yeah, I’ma about to do some ’bout it (What I do)
Woah, oh, oh, oh, mm
Woah, oh, oh, oh, mm
Woah, oh, oh, oh, mm (You’re comin’ ’round)
Woah, oh, oh, oh, mm (You’re comin’ ’round, baby)
(What I do, what I do)
Get the fuck out of my house with that shit
10. Wildcard
Suenan tambores de guerra y Miley Cyrus se deja llevar por su canción más rockera del disco en un tema de empoderamiento donde se pone por encima de su supuesto interés amoroso. Es la Miley más guerrera de las últimas que hemos escuchado, pero su voz suena igual de clara. Esta es su letra:
Do you wanna play house? I could be your wife
Go and meet your mom in a dress too tight
Maybe I could stay and not break your heart
But don’t forget, baby, I’m a wildcard
I love when you hold me
But loving you is never enough
And don’t wait for me
‘Cause forever may never come
I’m a wildcard, oh-ooh
Loving you is never enough
I’m a wildcard, oh-ooh
Forever may never come
I walk in the door, with my lips stained red
Pillows on the floor and the flowers dead
Make the music stop before it starts
‘Cause don’t forget, baby, I’m a wildcard
I love when you hold me
But loving you is never enough
I’m a wildcard, oh-ooh
Loving you is never enough
I’m a wildcard, oh-ooh
Forever may never come
And ooh, bet you’re lovin’
I want all in, I want all or nothing
Ooh, it’ll cost ya
I want all in, I want all or nothing
I love when you hold me
But loving you is never enough
I’m a wildcard, oh-ooh
Loving you is never enough
I’m a wildcard, oh-ooh
Forever may never come
11. Island
Después del brutal viaje que ha pasado durante todo el disco, Miley llega a su propia “isla”, una fortaleza de la soledad desde la que canta con toda la sabiduría que le ha dado su experiencia. Más relajada y sabiendo lo que quiere, reflexiona sobre su vida en un tema que sus fans recordarán por mucho tiempo. A continuación, la letra completa de Island:
I’m on an island, dirty dancing in the sun
So close to heaven, but so far from everyone
Yeah, I’ve got treasures buried underneath the sand
But I’m still wishing for the love that I don’t have
Mama told me, “Girl, smoke ’em if you got ’em”
Left my lighter back at home with all my problems
So I’m sittin’ here wondering all day long
Am I stranded (Am I stranded) on an island? (On an island)
Or have I landed (Have I landed) in paradise?
Am I stranded (Am I stranded) on an island? (On an island)
Or have I landed in paradise?
I can paint my toenails whilе I’m soaking up the sea
The only thing that’s missing hеre is you and our TV
And I won’t lie, it sure gets lonely here at night
But no one here needs nothin’ from me and it’s kind of nice
Mama told me, “Girl, smoke ’em if you got ’em”
Left my lighter back at home with all my problems
So I’m sittin’ here wondering all day long
Am I stranded (Am I stranded) on an island? (On an island)
Or have I landed (Have I landed) in paradise?
Am I stranded on an island?
Or have I landed in paradise?
I hear your voice like a song on the radio
All day along, ’cause, boy, I’ve been missing you
I hear your voice like a song on the radio, ah
I hear your voice like a song on the radio (Hey, ah)
All day along, ’cause, boy, I’ve been missing you (Hey)
I hear your voice like a song on the radio, ah
Am I stranded on an island?
Or have I landed in paradise?
Am I stranded on an island?
Or have I landed in paradise?
Am I stranded (I hear your voice like a song on the radio)
On an island? (All day along, ’cause, boy, I’ve been missing you)
Or have I landed (I hear your voice like a song on the radio, ah)
In paradise?
Am I stranded (I hear your voice like a song on the radio)
On an island? (All day along, ’cause, boy, I’ve been missing you)
Or have I landed (I hear your voice like a song on the radio, ah)
In paradise?
Am I stranded (I hear your voice like a song on the radio)
On an island? (All day along, ’cause, boy, I’ve been missing you)
Or have I landed (I hear your voice like a song on the radio, ah)
In paradise?
Am I stranded on an island?
Or have I landed
12. Wonder Woman
Cualquiera podría creer que, por el título (Wonder Woman), Miley Cyrus acabaría el disco con una nueva canción empoderante y llena de poder. Sin embargo, y aunque tiene todos estos elementos, se trata de una preciosísima balada que dedica a una mujer a la que admira, quiere y respeta. Un himno a alguien a quien no conocemos pero con quien todos querríamos estar. Su letra es admirable:
She’s a wonder woman
She knows what she likes
Never know she’s broken
‘Cause she’s always fine
She’s a million moments
Lived a thousand lives
Never know she’s hopeless
Only when she cries
When her favorite record’s on and she’s dancing in the dark
She can’t stop her eyes from welling up, up
She makes sure that no one’s ’round to see her fall apart
She wants to be thе one that never doеs
She’s a won’t-stop woman
Hours on her hands
All the pain is polished
All the tears are planned
But when her favorite record’s on and she’s dancing in the dark
She can’t stop her eyes from welling up, up
She makes sure that no one’s ’round to see her fall apart
She wants to be the one that never does
She’s a wonder woman
She knows what she likes
Never know she’s broken
Only when she cries (Mm, mm)
