Yeah I thought it was just humour too but I guess if everything is symbolic..

I think it's just to add a bit of humous tbh but if it does mean something I think it'll mean the next single or album will come out on a tuesday but idk seems a bit of a reach?
 
What I originally thought as well is that maybe she just takes tuesdays off and goes into hollywood to get a coffee *coughs* or meet some friends?
 
Edit: oh god I just realised I said 'humous' instead of 'humour' 

YumThat's what I originally thought, but I dont really see the point of having it there if it's just to 'mix it together'.if that was all it is, she could have done it way cooler like stirring her pot with her finger like in harry potter, rather than having an actual whisk go in with everything else. We'll find out anyway ahaha

I didn't know this thread existed so I'll just leave this here as well.

I've been researching a lot about Peg Entwistle (The Ghost of the Hollywood sign) and it's very interesting to me and pretty clearly Lana's muse for the ghost-like imagery and living in the Hollywood sign. I would be stoaked if Lana did a song dedicated to her, it's possible since the next track has been described as dark, deep, & Hollywood centric. I think the whole trailer is a metaphor for the fact Lana was extremely suicidal and depressed when the critics slammed her and her art (exactly the reason Peg committed) and that could have been the result, but now she's happy and has a new lust for life. It's actually really full circle and beautiful.

I guess, but shes very heavily using Abes logo in her trailer and shes registered a song with his name in it and her manager made a real point of mentioning collabs, so at the very least its pretty obvious she has a collab with Abe. Theres zero reason for her to feature him so much so far if its just a writing credit, that makes no sense.

lol that insta caption just made it really obvious

just went to his Twitter and he Instagramed/tweeted about the album trailer.. 
I guess so
Mess it's obvious

Am I the only one that doesn't want a Yoko Ono collab

Do you think the phone is just to symbolize the fact that she recorded the monologue on her phone

Well, the Peg Entwistle theory seems to match up pretty well...

Purely speculation about the hidden clues and symbolism in the Lust for Life Trailer:
 

 
In an interview with Pitchfork, Clark Jackson (the director of the album trailer) talked about the themes and hidden context within the video:
 

 
So what do you think? What do you think the symbols mean?
 
The very obvious red strawberries The Hollywood sign and living in the 'H' (The next single is going to be Hollywood-centric, fact from interview) The ladder Tears of hearts being poured onto the world (we know that means the power of positive vibes and showing love) The spinning hourglass and goblet on either side of her The lightning storm over LA and the galaxy in the sky The floating telephone and the only directly spoken words being "in these dark times" in the telephone Cooking in the pan: a galaxy, X♡O, the Chimera, Mercury, whisk (we know The Weeknd's signature XO implies a new single with him featured, and the galaxy could represent her 'Love' single, the chimera being Chimera Music, and mercury being Mercury Records- its not the moon, look at the patterns.) The sparks after mixing them together as she sends them out The 7 planets The Mount Rushmore past presidents crumbling and the Statue of Liberty flame being snuffed Writing the album title on the blackboard with chalk Her ghostly form disappearing The blackboard drifting up into space *Unbolded text is what we already know, or is almost a fact. At the end of the post is a list of speculations with the respective clues above. 
 
NOT ALL OF THESE may be significant. I've just listed the things that may be worth talking about
 
And here is the script of the trailer for your reference:
 
 
 
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
And here are the speculations (not yet been proved but do seem likely), Keep posting your speculations in the comments. Below will continue to be updated with the reasonable comments. 
 
Red strawberries
Someone suggested "Strawberry Fields Forever", possibly a cover of the Beatles (links to Sean Lennon and Chimera Music? +the videos she's posted listening to the Beatles/John Lennon)
Lana's instagram post on her birthday last year was for the Strawberry Full Moon- could this year's Strawberry Moon on June 9th mean something for the album? Possible release date?
​Symbolism of strawberries: spring, rebirth, righteousness, love- Spring release? (or at least part of the album in spring, like more singles and information, March-May)
 
The Hollywood sign, living in the 'H'
 
Peg Entwistle theory- Lana is somewhat representing Peg, who was an actress in the 20's and 30's, and comitted suicide by jumping from the H on the Hollywood sign. 
 
The ladder
 
The fact that she would need some way to climb up to her home? Or perhaps the ladder symbolises that she has climbed above the chaos of her past (or LA in the video). We cannot see the top of the ladder however- could this mean she can still get higher yet?
 
Tears of hearts being poured onto the world 
Hearts being her tears could represent suffering being converted into love and compassion?
 
The spinning hourglass and goblet on either side of her
 
Hourglass: "Its very shape is made up of triangles balancing each other out. Alchemists interpreted these triangles as representing two aspects of nature: the upper being the sky and the lower equating with Earth."
Cups in tarot cards: "The suit of cups Tarot meaning has to do mainly with the emotional area of your life. It allows you to explore more about your feelings and about the way you connect to the others and to the world."
 
These levitated and spinning on either side of her could mean she is connecting the realms with her emotions.
Hourglass could also represent time being up (it was out of time in the video) and the new era has begun.
 
There has been suggestion that the Born To Die video represents Lana as the High Priestess (in tarot cards): sitting on the throne, wearing crosses in the BTD era (connection to the creator), being between life and the afterlife (she dies in Summertime Sadness, Born to Die and that assumption can also be made in Blue Jeans). 
And that in the Lust for Life trailer she represents the Magician: channels universe and manifests in physical reality (her music), the bridge between the spirit world and humanity. 
Together, the High Priestess and Magician represent the female and male energies at their highest. 
 
The lightning storm over LA and the galaxy in the sky
 
Lightning can represent chaos and destruction. But another common symbolism of lightning is 'an awakening/quick realisation', often being spiritual in nature, from the heavens. Is LA being struck by new energy?
However, it is a clear night, no clouds, yet lightning still persists. So perhaps the symbolism leans more towards an awakening than destructiveness.
 
The floating telephone and the only directly spoken words being "in these dark times" in the telephone
 
A telephone represents channelling information, and she is channelling her thoughts to us through this album. "In These Dark Times" could be hinting at something else to come (a hint at new lyrics?), or perhaps just emphasis on her letting us know that the world is not in the best place currently.
Lana also recorded the script on her phone.
 
Cooking in the pan: a galaxy, X♡O, the Chimera, Mercury, whisk 
 
The chimera may be the symbol of Chimera Music- someone she is working with for a single?
Some suspect Yoko Ono (artist, writer, singer, peace activist and wife of John Lennon of the Beatles) who is connected to Chimera Music, or her son Sean Lennon who is also with Chimera Music (Sean has posted on instagram about the trailer and the symbols)
Sean Lennon being one of the symbols could be hinted in these instagram posts of his: (strawberry fields, working with favourite artist, in studio/ lana liked this post, posted about the moon)
Sean Lennon's band is called Ghost of a Sabre Toothed Tiger, and a chimera is the cover art for their single The World Was Made for Men.
And remember this Chimera Pig-Human post?
 
What we all originally thought was the moon is in fact Mercury, most likely meaning Mercury Records. The most likely person to collab with associated with Mercury is then Courtney Love, who has tweeted about LFL (from this teaser we also have #mnm to speculate about) 
 
The whisk could mean 'mixing it all together' or, the Whiskey a Go Go bar- could she collab with an artist who started off from that bar?
"Ingredients found online" 
 
The sparks after mixing them together as she sends them out
 
The 7 planets
 
7 is a number often used in association with Magic.
Someone has suggested they represent the 7 Deadly Sins.
If we know she has a number of collaborations in the album, maybe there are 7 songs that are only her creations. In the video, Lana is the one pointing to them, creating them...
Lana tweeted about NASA's new discovery of 7 planets: Look at the image of the 7 planets here (scroll down the article), and look at the planets she has in her video. Notice they are the EXACT same?
 
The Mount Rushmore past presidents crumbling and the Statue of Liberty flame being snuffed
 
Representing the New Age- "Solvet et Coagula"/Destroy to Recreate
Liberty torch being snuffed indicates how suffocated we feel 'in these dark times' of political climate, where liberty is being taken away.
Mt Rushmore suggested to represent "Architecture"
 
Writing the album title on the blackboard with chalk
 
Her ghostly form disappearing
 
Ghostly form may be reference to Peg Entwistle- the ghost of the Hollywood sign.
Maybe disappearing represents that she acknowledges her existence being temporary, that she will make her mark while she can?
 
The blackboard drifting up into space
 
To do with the space theme, channelling to the universe, raising positive vibrations of the world with her music.

Paris Match Magazine comes out with a new issue every Wednesday. Hopefully we'll get Lana's issue on the 5th or 12th

I've been researching a lot about Peg Entwistle (The Ghost of the Hollywood sign) and it's very interesting to me and pretty clearly Lana's muse for the ghost-like imagery and living in the Hollywood sign. I would be stoaked if Lana did a song dedicated to her, it's possible since the next track has been described as dark, deep, & Hollywood centric. I think the whole trailer is a metaphor for the fact Lana was extremely suicidal and depressed when the critics slammed her and her art (exactly the reason Peg committed) and that could have been the result, but now she's happy and has a new lust for life. It's actually really full circle and beautiful.

Apparently she wasn't supposed to be a witch (that's what that producer guy said) so it makes way more sense to me that she's a ghost than a hologram because she can make things levitate and stuff like that. It also fits so perfectly with this story. I think she looks like a hologram (with the lines) because she's supposed to look like an old 50s TV show so it's not like perfectly clear

No wayyy. I love this video. The whole Jim Jones thing and the Jonestown Cult has always interested me and I thought it was cool what she did with it. She always finds beauty in the darkest places

I totaly believe it.. The director says all the elements have a reason to be there, why she choose the H ? And why she is a ghost in the trailer? For me theres no doubt

i don't get why people complain about features without knowing who is featured/hearing it first. I doubt Lana would include them if she genuinely didn't think they added something to the album, because she never does things just for publicity/to gain a following anymore (if ever)

wow that's totally what the symbolism of the ladder is (he mentioned that in the interview!) and that's probably why she's transparent and lives in the "H"

Im really afraid that Lana scrapped the another Richard Lee project ... In LDR10 maybe we see it 

I hate to be that person. But I really don't want features. Like if she were to have some Asap and Abel are okay (I know Abel is a guarantee). But let's draw the line there please. 

um Shades of Cool and HBTB

oh dang i didn't know that. rip
 
at least she still has a chance to collab with leonard cohen and david bowie

I love how the Lust For Life album trailer is better than the entire Love music video 

What about that theory of one of the collabs being The Moonlandingz? MESS 
Hope it's wrong and there's a Marina collab on the album

I think she posted 3 because she wanted the three lust for life images to be in a row not broken up, so it's probably that there was one she really wanted posted and the others were filler

So, guys, since Lana posted this:

they are in the studio... do you think some music is still in the works or an old photo?
 
Maybe its that 'side project' with Miles Kane which HAS ME INTRIGUED 

Edit: WAIT WAIT WAIT LOOK AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN IN THE PHOTO...
 
They could be working on a video... there's an eclipse on the screen and possibly a faded image of Lana????
