I originally intended to do a whole review for the album, but my analytical head is just not on and I have nothing new to contribute to discussion of this masterpiece. Despite that I want to do a post on it, so here is a dump of my favourite lyrics from every song on Ariana Grande’s seventh studio album ‘eternal sunshine’, plus like random thoughts if I have them (I have them). I will say that it is going to be hard for another 2024 release to beat this. It’s AOTY to me. And that it’s great to hear her like really sing again. Her vocals are just insane, thank you Eric Vitro.
intro (end of the world)
How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship?
Aren’t you really s’posed to know that shit?
Feel it in your bones and own that shit? I don’t know
Just an insane way to start an album. And a perfect way to sum up the whole project honestly.
Then I had this interaction I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout for like five weeks
Wonder if he’s thinkin’ ’bout it too and smiling
Wonder if he knows that that’s been what’s inspirin’ me
Adorable. Adorable. Adorable.
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would I be the one on your mind, your mind, your mind?
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would you be the one on mine?
Y’all I like this song a lot, can you tell? I love catastrophising in pop songs for some reason. 
bye
This ain’t the first time I’ve been hostage to these tears
I can’t believe I’m finally movin’ through my fears
NTLTC reference. She’s come so far. I swear I love this one, top 3 on the album for sure.
don’t wanna break up again
I fall asleep cryin’
You turn up the TV
You don’t wanna hear me
One more sleepless night
It’s on sight truly. I do not like that man
I don’t wanna fuck with your head
It’s breakin’ my heart
To keep breakin’ yours again
But you didn’t even try
When you finally did, it was at the wrong time
Won’t abandon me again for you and I, I
Emphasis on that last line
Saturn Returns Interlude
That’s when we gotta wake up and smell the coffee
Makes me giggle everytime. This interlude goes beautifully into the title track
eternal sunshine
So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now she’s in my bed, mm-mm, layin’ on your chest
Now I’m in my head, wonderin’ how it ends
In My Head reference, also perhaps the most talked about part of the album. But I really like it for the links to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Which was such a huge aspect of Positions
Now, now he’s in your bed, and layin’ on my chest
I love subtle changes in lyrics in alternate verses
supernatural
It’s like supernatural
This love’s possessin’ me, but I don’t mind at all
Fun fact, I have something like naturally against songs called Supernatural, but this one is really growing on me, like I like it a lot. And I really like the version with Troye
Need your hands all up on my body
Like the moon needs thе stars
I love the supernatural parts of the song clearly. 
true story
I’ll play the villain if you need me to
I know how this goes, yeah
Pete, Dalton, loser from the Janoskians when I see you
I’ll play the bad girl if you need me to
If it makes you feel better
I’ll be the one you love to hate, can’t relate
Too much on my plate
Ariana said ‘You can do what you want, think what you want but I’m too busy to think about you’. Queen shit
See it in your eyes (Eyes), you got too much time
For fun, you like to pray for my demise, mm
But I’ll play whatever part you need me to
And I’ll be good in it, too
Mother mothering. I love her confidence this whole album.
the boy is mine – my faaaavourite sorry Ariana. But to be fair, with this production, her voice and the melody I would like this song regardless of the lyrical content. The lyrics are a lot of fun though
Somethin’ about him is made for somebody like me
someone like u call back
The boy is mine
I can’t wait to try him
Le-let’s get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is minе
And I know it’s simply meant to be
And I, I take full accountability for all these tears
Promise you I’m not usually
yes, and?
Now, I’m so done with caring
What you think, no, I won’t hide
Underneath your own projections
Or change my most authentic life
Just, the growth
My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like
Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (My time)
Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It’s mine, it’s mine)
What’s mine is mine
My face is sitting, I don’t need no disguise (I don’t need no disguise)
Don’t comment on my body, do not reply
Your business is yours and mine is mine
Why do you care so much whose **** I ride?
Why?
we can’t be friends (wait for your love)
We can’t be friends
But I’d like to just pretend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again
And look they like her again
Me and my truth, we sit in silence
Mm
Babygirl, it’s just me and you
‘Cause I don’t wanna argue, but I don’t wanna bite
My tongue, yeah, I think I’d rather die
You got me misunderstood
But at least I look this good
Ariana this last like 6 months summarised I think
Know that you made me
I don’t like how you paint me, yet I’m still here hanging
Not what you made me
It’s somethin’ like a daydream
But I feel so seen in the night
This song sound like a romance song, but it really reads like it’s about the press and the public. Which I did not notice until now. A very smart second single
i wish i hated you
I rearrange my memories
I try to rewrite our life
Eternal Sunshine (film) reference again. Also a reference to her making the house a home without him
And no matter how easy things could be if I did
And no matter how guilty I still feel saying it
I wish I hated you
Our shadows dance in a parallel plane
Just a really pretty way to say that they have separate lives now
imperfect for you – also top 3
How could we know
We’d rearrange all the cosmos? Mm
We crashed, and we burned
Now I just can’t go where you don’t go
Ariana in New York more again, thank god. Also a reference to all the public mess
Fucked up, anxious, too much
But I’ll love you like you need me to
Imperfect for you
Messy, completely distressed
But I’m not like that since I met you
Imperfect for you
pov but she knows how he sees her.
ordinary things ft. Nonna
Hypothetically, we (We) could do (Do)
Anything that we’d like
She’s rich you know. But she doesn’t need any of that stuff and she never has.
And when he’d come home and I’d see him, when he first gets off that train
It was like God almighty arrived
It was like seein’ daylight
Nonna’s so smart
And as I told her, never go to bed without kissin’ goodnight
That’s the worst thing to do, don’t ever, ever do that
And if you can’t, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing it
You’re in the wrong place, get out
So smart, and very well spoken too.
