    i don't love these lyrics but i don't care because if just the lyrics to Ride had been posted before the song, i would've thought poorly of them... but the song is absolutely perfect. it's never good to read lyrics like they're a poem. you're getting 1/3 of what's really going on.

    She's no Rilke, but Lana's an exceptional lyricist by contemporary pop standards. She has a distinctive sense of humor, a sharp eye for imagery and a phenomenal ear for wordplay—when she tries:
     

    You look like a Florida native
    "Are you?" I said, at the rate of
    Slow molasses from the state of
    Vermont with a southern drawl
     

    The way your face is shaped, I wonder if you know
    The way you stand up and your silhouette glows
    I'm electrified, I'll be up all night now

     

    He had a cigarette with his number on it
    He gave it over to me, "Do you want it?"
    I knew it was wrong but I palmed it
    I saved it, I waited, I called it

     

    Fellas, if you wanna get that invite quicker
    Pack up the pickup, pick up the liquor
    Go on use your charm, come on gonna get her
    Ladies, if you really wanna reign them suckers
    Line up your lips, plump up your puckers
    It's about the only way to get them motherfuckers
     


    Who's living life like it's the belvedere
    Swinging all night on the crystal chandelier
    Bring that Velvet Elvis over here, come on

     

    You're God's favorite child, boy, believe it
    Try hard to remember the day
    Sick as fuck and selling yay, diamonds and getting blazed
     

    Dance at night back in Alabama
    Christmas lights on my teal green trailer
    American flags, blue, blue streamers
     

    Ponytail and lollipops, dinerettes and soda pops
    New blue bathing suit, ruched tops and Cadillacs
    Blue lake car to dunks, hopscotch, shit talk
    Alabama hardknocks, motel dress locks

     

    Baby, if you loved me
    You would call me your bunny
    Tell me I'm just a baby, honey
    Beat me and tell me
    That no one will love me
    Better than you do

     

    My baby has an eye for pretty things, pretty things
    He thinks that little girls are butterflies and cuts their wings
    Sicko, psycho, sicko, but he's my beau
    Puts them on a roller coaster, lures them in with Coca-Cola
     

    Salvatore, you can def' be my baby boo
    Be my mafiosi rock 'n' roll high
    Back to Malibu in my trailer park for two
    We're like Sid and Nancy loving the fight
     

    You can be my Tony Montana and I can be your Pfeiffer fire
    I can take you higher, I can get you hooked on love and desire
     

    Remember that little old cowgirl
    Waiting for you back in that Red River Valley
    Waiting back in that Tallahassee
     

    He's my drugstore cowboy, Italian alloy
    Classical American
    And I'm America's sweetheart, cute delicious sweet tart
    Sippin' on my Diet Coke, singin' in the trailer park
     

    I'm a wild child, sky high, lying on your floor
    I know I had a lot but, babe, I wants a little more, dum dum
    I want a little more, dum dum
    In my white mink pink, cigarettes from the store
    We're making robberies from Tijuana to the shore, dum dum
    'Juana to the shore, dum dum
    I belong to a bygone era like the Bugsy Malone
    Of the deep Sahara 'cause I'm on the scene
    Yeah, I'm on the scene
    I’m a bad jazz singer giving you the finger
    No matter what you linger 'cause you like me even when I'm mean
    I'm the queen
     


    Cigarettes and Robitussin
    Will I ever get to heaven?
    It's not looking good now



     

    Black eyes, short dress, let's break it down
    You shoot and I pose, Polaroid frown
    I'll do what you like
    I won't make a sound
     


    Look at you smoking in them neon lights
    Under the thunder, yo, you like so nice
    Made me wonder how you spend them nights
    Me, I spend them looking for men I like
    Like you, like you, like you

     

    I had a man, he was sweet as pie
    I met him as I walked right by him
    He said, Baby, you so fine that when you walk
    Even the stoplights stop to talk about you






     

    You're the state's number one and everybody knows it
    You smile all the time, 'cause how can you not show it?
    When even you know that you're so to die for, to die for
    What do I need to get high for?


     

    If you wanna get that scholarship
    Yale's not a problem, let's solve it
     

    I'm the sweetest girl in town
    So why are you so mean?
    When you gonna ditch that stupid bitch you got
    It's me you should be seeing



     

    Babe, you can see that I'm danger
    Glamorous but I'm deranged, yeah
    Teetering off of the stage, yeah

     

    You used to say that I was beautiful like Cleopatra
    But you the king too, so I would say it back atcha
     

    It's the voodoo Mississippi south
    Sixty-nine million stars
    Birds are flying out of my mouth
    Spirits creeping in my yard
    Hold my head, it's tilting back
    Something dancing me around
    Putting crystals on my neck
    Lifting my feet off the ground, the ground
     

    In the name of higher consciousness
    I let the best man I knew go
    'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
    But it's better to know all you can know
    I said it's nice to love and be loved
    But I'd rather know what God knows




     
    I said, he loves my heart-shaped sunglasses
    He loves the heart shape my ass is
     

    Wake up each night at the same time
    Pull up the blind and look outside
    And in the orange light, the fog is rising
    This is life, this tonight, peace in the quiet
     

    We could get high in Miami, ooh
    Dance the night away
    People never die in Miami, ooh
    That's what they all say
     

    Baby, put on heart-shaped sunglasses
    'Cause we're gonna take a ride
    I'm not gonna listen to what the past says
    I been waiting up all night
    Take another drag, turn me to ashes
    Ready for another lie
    Says he's gonna teach me just what fast is
    Say it's gonna be all right





     
    Again none of this is Rilke or Rimbaud, but taken together I think they're quite remarkable for what they are: pop lyrics. I personally don't think any of the lines in "Honeymoon" reach the level of playfulness or cleverness exhibited in the lyrics I've highlighted here, but that doesn't mean Lana's not an unusually creative wordsmith. And that's the rub, isn't it? No matter how good of a writer you are, every single time you sit down at a blank page, you have to start from scratch—and you have to really, really try. And my intuition tells me (and who can blame her) she doesn't try quite as hard as she used to.

    With YCBTB, Serial Killer and OTTR being practiced, i hope this means HM is gonna be the uptempo, jazzy mixed with hiphop, Bonnie and Clyde-esque era I've been waiting for.

    The fact that we're waiting for a soundtrack? song, a music video, AND an album and this is the only 'news' we have is kinda depressing

    Honeymoond thread: "I want ______ 2.0!" "I can't wait for another ________!!!" "I hope there are more songs like ______"
     
    Actually makes a song that sounds similar to previous ones: "wtf the lyrics are terrible" "this is so boring" "omg awful"

    Why people need to be so negative about a ballad written for a movie? It doesn't need to sound different from her usual stuff because that's the reason why the producers wanted her on the soundtrack in first place. It's a classic ballad with a cinematic feel and it fits perfectly the tone of the trailer.    
     
    But something about the timing of this release tell me this was last-minute decision to put her on the soundtrack ( maybe to get some buzz for the movie).

    This is a similar design. It's like the sweatshirt version with no pocket. It's probably the best you'll get for that shirt

    These two tutorials are kind of good for this look. I feel like they're close enough that you can work with it. It's actually funny because I got on her channel because I remember seeing a tutorial that was close to that picture, but I had no idea that she did one for that specific hairstyle. I don't have any personal tips tho :/

    I don't know who Kim is (and I don't care to find out at this point), but the bottom line is that that was a horrible, disgusting thing to say about ANY woman or person in general. If she said that about anyone else, I would still feel the same way. Picking on a girl who, in my opinion, has made herself very vulnerable to the press, is just a low-blow. I feel like at this point, people are dogging on her because they know they can without any serious backlash, and it's very sad to me. 
     
    What a petty thing to do. I feel bad for both of them for different reasons.

    Waiting for Azealia Banks to say something on this. I bet Lana herself would have a lot to say but she NEVER goes public about this stuff.
     
    The saddest thing about this is if this happened to someone like Lorde or Taylor Swift everyone one would immediately come to their defence, fan or not, the things Kim Gordon said are that harsh, but Lana is always left to fend for herself. She's like the nerdy kid in high school, everyone sees this stuff happen to her but they just watch. No one thinks to throw her any fucking support.
     
    Also I must be forgetting the song where Lana says no to voting or earning equal pay.
    Let's just list all the sexism displayed in this paragraph:
    1 Slut-Shaming Lana for her taste in men and lovemaking.
    2 Criticising Lana's apt description of a true feminist because Lana said it.
    3 Insinuating that Lana shouldn't sing as an individual who has chosen a different lifestyle to her, but instead sing about very certain topics. She's basically saying that Lana Del Rey's experiences are less valuable because she's a female, she should be singing about how independent she is and act like everyone wants her too because anything less is just unheard of in society (Jim Morrison, Kanye West, Eminem, pretty much all male rappers)
    4 Advising Lana to kill herself. This isn't sexist so much as simply inhumane and reprehensibly irresponsible.
     
    Does Kim think she's gonna get away with all this?
