  1. wtf are these lyrics what even is this song about? it's all over the place and seems to be more about setting a "vibe" than any actual meaning
  2. I was so satisfied when the monsters bullied her out of existence after her Chromatica review. Evil woman
  3. I listened to everything we have from the album over and over and over today, and really, The Grants is such a good single choice. So far the strongest song on the record. I hope that's the one that will get the high budget music video of the era.
  4. on page 2500 I just want to say never let me go still hits 9 years later she is the moment and that bitch
  5. That's actually kinda funny At this point I'm just happy when it's not another Marina song
  6. There is a leak of "candy necklace" on the site and when you play it, it's just the title track. Not that I expected it to be the actual song when I clicked play - but just why?
  7. + you have to remember she commented on the original Bel Air video that it's the most personal song from Paradise
  8. It clearly continues some elements of the Blue Banister sound. You can hear it easily
  9. She has sung songs about her mother since she went by the names May and Lizzy. Throughout all her albums, her father appears frequently in the lyrics of her songs, and she always expresses that he is a safe haven and someone who is always there for her. However, in her album Blue Banisters, she opened up to her listeners - who may have wondered what her mother is like - and it turns out that she hardly talked about her mother at all. Her mother is someone with whom she always had problems, and they didn't get along well. This pain caused problems for her with the people around her and in her own life. She mentioned her mother at the beginning to convey that even though she no longer has contact with her, the trauma her mother caused still exists and has long-term consequences, such as difficulty relating to people. She wants love from someone who hurt her and hopes to find someone who can help heal her pain, but the men she has encountered only exacerbate her pain by devaluing her as an object and treating her as if she is not a person (as she sings in her song about being raped). She doesn't know how to protect herself, having never been good at it since she argued with her mother as a child. She just wants someone to take care of her, but there are only a few good people in this world, and there are so many bad people that they can be found in convenience stores. She therefore does not want to write songs about someone who will love her again because she already knows that no one can take care of her pain. She speaks in what they see her, and she speaks in what she herself sees, being the person that everyone wants to be, being the person who seeks love repeatedly from people who do not understand her pain enough, and that is American Whore. The second part of the song, which is a scream, a shout, and a disturbing melody, is to show the listeners that the pain she has now is too deep to heal. She has been broken for a long time, and she is sinking deeper than anyone could help. But instead of asking someone to help her, she dances in her own pain. Jim or Jimmy, the person she sings about in the end of the song, may be the same person she refers to in the song "Ultraviolence". It is interpreted that Jim is a friend in her imagination, and he only appears when she is drunk and/or so hopeless that she can only see Jim. In other words, she deludes herself into thinking that there's someone next to her if she realizes that she's trapped in depression, anxiety, and dark thoughts, and can't see anyone else around her. She talks to Jimmy (talks to herself) and says that she doesn't have to care about her life anymore. She just wants to get drunk now because her life has nothing left. Of course, the line "Your mom called, I told her you're f*cking up big time" means that when she was lying with that worthless guy, his mother called and was worried about him, even though her own mom never cared about her before. She curses his mother, even though in fact, she wants to curse her own mom.
  10. I love that I wouldn't think that in her free time Lana is worried about immortality - or karmic lineages, as she said in BB era interviews - and then she goes and makes statements like this. Her headspace is something else.
  11. Yes! And the opening chords are reminiscent of Bel Air.
