"Lolita" is the only song I really dislike, but it also just may be one of the worst pop songs I heard that year.

Honestly, Lana damn near influenced a lot of trends, especially in music.

I'm late to the train, but "My My My" has me onboard finally. What a wonderful video, too.

Radiohead - Creep
I would give anything to hear her cover this song, it would be perfect.

Make me your Dream Life liked a post in a topic by BluVelvUnderground in Favourite Lana Lyrics
I find "Sad Girl" to be one of Lana's masterpiece, tbh.
"He's got the fire and he walks with fame
He's got the fire and he talks with fame
His Bonnie on the side, Bonnie on the side
Makes me so sad, girl
His money on the side, money on the side
Makes me so sad, girl"
I know the girl likes some Lynch ("Blue Velvet" and such) -- and I can't help but think "fire and he walks" is a reference to Twin Peaks, and the trumpets at the end of the second verse are the same ones that are used in Lynch's Mulholland Drive from 2001. Laura Palmer is a total Lana character, that's for sure.
But the reason this song is fantastic is because it sounds like a lounge song straight from hell - and the euphoria of these words over the mandarins and all the reverb for the bridge is GOAT level shit. I love the self-awareness to her being a "sad girl", but the way she's pushing the narrative that it's all sincere. The entire album seems to be about her transition into fame - that bridge from New York to California (Mulholland Drive is about going to California for fame, after all) - and it works so well, especially as the centerpiece of Ultraviolence. I'd argue the album is very much a horror one, and I may be the only who thinks it, but I think the Jim Jones/Manson cult aesthetic she was going for with the "Ultraviolence" (but it's "Freak"now) makes this song stand out even more. It's like she connecting the fame to actually becoming a cult leader. But here, it's her basking away in what fame entails for her, and whether she's going to find happiness in it finally.
And then Lust for Life showed us she might not have found "happiness", but she's definitely figured life out, in some capacity - to some extent - for herself. By being a cult leader, but also still being that cult follower ("Coachella"/Father John Misty, as an example, with the "Freak" video).
Also gotta love the Bonnie and Clyde/bonnie flower interchanging there. Whichever she meant, works. I think she was aware of the double (she does it often), as "on the side" rhymes with and helps us recall the movie's title.

Thank you! It's been driving me crazy, even though I'm a huge fan of inaudible lyrics.

I think the general consensus is she's definitely audibly saying,
can i get a fuckin hallelujah,
looking at me like (leopard skin/rose garden/jaguar)?
can i get a fuckin hallelujah,
sippin on you like a coca cola
can i get a fuckin hallelujah,
looking at me like (leopard skin/rose garden/jaguar)?
i'm pretty positive on everything but the italics
leopard skin sounds the closest but maybe not the exact words...i feel like i can hear skin for sure
the rest of it is pretty audible
i wish she would sing the background vocals and overlay the chorus live. i feel like it would sound great and we'd finally figure it out for sure

I really like your production style. It's pretty unique and twisted but one is being rewarded for taking time and listening.
My favourite track is "Ra", it's combining a lot of the album's strengths and showcases your beautiful voice the most.
Oh, and the cover is on point aswell!
