As it should

Omg it's Friday night bbs time for the song to truly come alive

Won't testify, I already fucked up my story

Justice for Laura

It's a known fact that the gp is dumb af Thank god Lana isn't making decisions with the general public in mind

I fell asleep singing A&W, I woke up singing A&W - I am consumed Also even my friends who are lukewarm to Lana have been texting me saying they can't stop listening

The way this part feels kind of quieter and hushed is sooo good, it feels like we're slipping out the back door with him as they talk, it's got such a sneaky vibe to it

A&W

I think she's just having fun tbh, all her comments on TikTok tonight have been fun and silly, and you can clearly hear the difference when she switches between Shimmy and Jimmy in the song

General consensus seems to be that it's one of her all time best

I'm sure they're sad twerking too on the other side of that wall

LMAO so true I should save that for working from home

I should be fired for how much I've listened to A&W this week instead of working

Psycho Lifeguard would be such a good Lana song I just know it Maybe it's Taco Truck

Don't worry none of us do

This thread got so dramatic for no reason lol

fuckin' jimmy...

Imagine she says Did you know on every song

It's hard to say for sure since the song is so complex and I think there are many avenues to explore, but my current take on it is that the first part of the song is actually after she's escaped a fate like Laura Palmer's. She may still be teetering on the edge, but Lana has reached a point of clarity where she understands who she is and while there may be negative aspects to the way she's living she's also reclaimed her life as her own to a certain degree and doesn't perceive herself as a victim, while also addressing the harm caused by the public's perception of her and society's inclination to tear down women and discard them as "whores" without considering the history that shaped them. I think she's very much talking about herself, while also managing to tie her personal story into a statement about the broader experience many people face, as she often does in her writing. I am always in awe of how deeply personal and widely relatable her writing can simultaneously be. Your interpretation of the ending of FWWM is fascinating, I have never thought about it that way. I always took it as the ultimate moment of peace, where even though Laura couldn't escape her fate in life, the angel has arrived now to take her soul to heaven, and her laughter is that feeling of pure relief and joy that her suffering is now over. Yours is much bleaker but very interesting! Lana and Lynch are both amazing in how their work allows for so many unique interpretations.

Deserved

So true I really feel like this is going to be the album that finally silences most of the haters in general, too many people are going to love it so there will be no audience for the Lana bashers

Exactly LOL I almost wish he wouldn't share these because now people will take some lazy intern's first pass as fact

They should really be more careful about which intern transcribes, those "official" lyrics are obviously full of mistakes lol

I have faith in them Like you said earlier, Margaret is too long to be bad, and also Sweet I think will be a necessary breather between two heavier songs
