serving The Last of Us

Some of the lyrics remind me of her poem, Bare Feet on Linoleum.
 
A&W:
 
Bare Feet on Linoleum
 
 
My thoughts from the first time I read Bare Feet on Linoleum years ago and how I think it relates to A&W:
 
In BFOL it seemed to me like her mother told everyone she was crazy at the expense of Lana's feelings and dignity. Like her mom chose to protect her family's reputation by lying and throwing her daughter under the bus. Lana seems to corroborate this in A&W with the line "do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it?". With all the references to being a whore, I think Lana's mom could have told the townspeople (as she calls them in BFOL) that her daughter is a slut, a drunk and/or crazy. Maybe her mom did that to protect the reputation of the person who might have raped her. Also, when Lana uses the word "treason" in the stanza 6 line, "it's been a real fight just to stop my mind from committing treason", I thought that the act of treason could be to go against her family. She would "betray" them and be a traitor to her family. I imagine her mom could have used words like that when she was younger to make her keep quiet. Something along the lines of: If you tell you will ruin our family. You are being selfish, only thinking of yourself and not the lives of your parents, grandparents and siblings that you will end up destroying. This may be affirmed by the A&W lyric: "I'm a a princess. I'm divisive". Patty might have told Lana that she's spoiled and dividing the family apart. 
 
Lana has used the word "home" in some of her recent songs and poems. Stanza 9 of BFOL: "Would standing in front of Mount Rushmore feel like the Great American homecoming I never had?". I've always interpreted that as a metaphor for her coming home from boarding school back to Lake Placid. With the rest of the context of the poem, I assumed her mom continued making up lies while Lana was away when she had no way to defend her own truth and dignity. Returning home would have felt like a slap in the face as she learns that the people in her very small town have been whispering rumors about her. Furthermore, at the start of the BFOL audio you can hear android-like voices chatting as if at a dinner party. Some of the conversation I can make out is, "You are a good/fantastic/interesting conversationalist. Your stories are mesmerizing. People love your stories. People love my stories. You have plenty of interesting stories". I think this could be about the stories and rumors her mother told. Or maybe this is Lana's story. "Didn't testify, already fucked up my story," she sings. Patty might have dismissed Lana's allegations by telling her and the whispering townsfolk that she's just making up stories. "Oh, she just makes things up. She is a great storyteller, isn't she!". Now, going back to BFOL. The chattering voices are heard in the background throughout the full audio recording. Towards the end they start getting louder and remain that way even after Lana finishes her poem. At the very end, while the voices continue talking, Lana whispers along with them, "People love my stories. People love my jokes". I also connect the chatter heard in the poem to this line in A&W: "Do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?". Additionally, when she sings, "I'm invisible", this could be thought of as her voice being drowned out by all the rumors. Her voice becomes lost in a sea of lies and people no longer hear her or they choose to not listen. 
 
"It's not about having someone to love me anymorе," Lana sings. She follows this with, "This is the experiеnce of being an American whore". Here Lana might be saying that she is no longer looking for the "warm embrace [she's] never known" as she wrote in BFOL. She is no longer looking for the love she was denied. Now she is going to be a whore. Maybe she uses sex to cope. It might also mean something like: "You called me a whore when I was just a girl. You said to everyone in our town that I'm a whore. Fine, you want to call me a whore? I'll show you what it looks like when I'm actually a whore."

One thing for sure is that Patty is not beating the absentee mother allegations

Ben and Ed actually have the lowest IQs you could possibly imagine. Fans find about a single release and you think the correct thing to do is just not release it? Are they mentally disabled? Genuinely don’t understand the thought process. There is a reason Dua dropped these two. They “loveeeee” Lana but the minute their tiny dicks get in a twist they decide it’s a good idea to ruin her career. They hate Lana fans because we know how shitty they are to Lana and do the promotion FOR THEM, but Lana doesn’t care because they don’t make her promote. The issue with the Ocean Blvd delay might actually be their worst moment ever. How do you let Lana just not make it clear there is a delay? They expect Lana fans to get news out to everyone and then when we actually do they are pissed and then delay/ cancel without saying a goddamn word. I have never been of a fan of an artist with this many leaks, delays, and hiccups during an album release. In conclusion Ben and Ed are an actual JOKE of managers and I’m convinced they started managing as some sort of money laundering scheme

Usually I hate it when artists say they're gonna release something and then do not but in this case she should do herself a favour and say the file was corrupted

she's just saying words at this point

Help not the visible license plate when will the pap learn

Yall are talking about a potential tour, and I'm over here just praying we get an album trailer. 

the girlies who have gone no-contact with their moms when they hear
"𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓼𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓶𝔂 𝓶𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓷 𝓪 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮"

i never had much luck
but behind that taco truck
you touched me with your fingertips
and whispered "you're still my little venice bitch" to me
