The song is actually about being a teenager living in NYC. It's about how majority of the people here are lower class and that even though they're poor they don't feel left out of the scene. The lyrics "the cities ours until the fall", means that during the summer all the rich kids leave town and head to the hamptons, but return to the city once school starts, fall. The second verse is about how in the modern day of America, being gay is an acceptable thing. In short this video is a dedication to the hipsters who hang in Williamsburg and bushwick. They all smoke weed, listen to biggie/nirvana because it was popular back in the day and all live diverse lifestyles. This song isn't just about smoking legalized weed.
I'm pretty sure it's about revolution against the upper class and in general. the city's ours until the fall is the elite in charge until rebellion. new americana is the new people that emerge from the revolution. and high on legal Marijuana is representing a change that we did. There's more examples, but that's how I've thought of it anyways.
I really feel like a New Americana whenever I listen to this Masterpiece Song 💕 I really Love the Song, The Lyrics, The Background view Our Queen 👑 Halsey and Everything ❤️💕💖💋
Sloths are a slow-moving tropical American mammal that hangs upside down from the branches of trees using its long limbs and hooked claws. Just so you guys know ;)
I actually thought this was about success from humble origins. The US has taught me the importance of success and hard work. Acceptance is a good message, as well.
i listen to this song a lot since this actually calms me down after doing STUFF and well this makes me feel like i need to stop feeling like a bitch and enjoy ever day to the fullest i've done so much freakn mistakes in my life and this song is literally the only thing that makes me feel okay again I love this song sm
For anyone who likes the chorus of this song, you should check out Lana Del Rey's 'National Anthem'! This song is copied from it :)))) (also 'Prom Song Gone Wrong' by Lana mentions Biggie and Nirvana, and Halsey's whole theme is almost the exact same as Lana's older stuff. So go check out the original artist.)
For anybody wondering, I think this song means how America is now as opposed to the past, touching on subjects like gay marriage and legalizing marijuana in some states. There's nothing wrong with either of these things in my opinion, but it's a lot different than it was in, say, the 80s or 90s.
We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts. What kind of dough have you been spending? What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?
I'm here for Hetalia. Imagine Alfred singing this along with the radio. Except, imagine him hitting every note like a pro. Everyone else is stunned speechless. Anyone else think of this?

this makes me think of the song in a very different way, thanks

Sounds like Avril Lavigne performing Lana Del Rey lyrics with a more Katy Perry-bubblegum pop feel
exactly! omg
She does sound just like Avril! I'm not usually into music like this, but Halsey is great.
Jesus I couldn't have put it better xD
I can see that.
Or maybe she just sounds like Halsey 🖕
Football team loved more than just a game so he vowed to be his husband at the alter.

"Getting high on legal marijuana"
Thanks bernie
Halsey made a good song! I am loving it so much.
I actually thought this was about success from humble origins. The US has taught me the importance of success and hard work.
Acceptance is a good message, as well.

Sounds like 'Viral Mess' to me, not 'Vile Romance', but I might be wrong.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles
Just what you’d expect inside her new Balenciaga
Viral mess, turned dreams into an empire
Self-made success, now she rolls with Roc-A-Fellas
[Pre-Chorus]
Survival of the richest, the city’s ours until the fall
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound
But we don’t feel like outsiders at all
[Chorus]
We are the new Americana
High on legal marijuana (Sky high)
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana
We are the new Americana
[Verse 2]
Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father
But he could never love somebody’s daughter
Football team loved more than just the game
So he vowed to be his husband at the altar
[Pre-Chorus]
Survival of the richest, the city’s ours until the fall
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound
But we don’t feel like outsiders at all
[Chorus]
We are the new Americana
High on legal marijuana (Sky high)
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana
We are the new Americana
[Bridge]
We know very well who we are
So we hold it down when summer starts
What kind of dough have you been spending?
What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?
[Chorus]
We are the new Americana
High on legal marijuana (Sky high)
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana
We are the new Americana
We are the new Americana
High on legal marijuana (Sky high)
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana
We are the new Americana
