Born To Die
 
“Feet don’t fail me now, take me to the finish line.
Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take, but I’m hoping at the gates, they’ll tell me that you’re mine.”
 
 
Paradise
 
“Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother, jesus is my bestest friend.”
 
 
Ultraviolence
 
“Because you’re young, you’re wild, you’re free, you’re dancing circles around me. You’re fucking crazy.”
 
 
Honeymoon
 
“Catch me if you can, working on my tan, Salvatore. Dying by the hand of a foreign man, happily.”
 
 
Lust For Life
 
“This is my commitment, my modern manifesto. I’m doing it for all of us, who never got the chance. For Amy and for Whitney, and all my birds of paradise, who never got to fly at night, cus they were caught up in the dance.”
 
 
Norman Fucking Rockwell
 
“Catch a wave and take in the sweetness, are you ready for it?”

Born To Die
Gold and silver-lined my heart
But burned into my brain are these stolen images
 
Paradise
I don't really wanna know what's good for me
God's dead, I said, "Baby, that's alright with me"
 
Ultraviolence
Don't say you need me when
You leave and you leave again
I'm stronger than all my men
Except for you
 
Honeymoon
I've got nothing much to live for
Ever since I found my fame
 
Lust for Life
There's a change gonna come, I don't know where or when
But whenever it does, we'll be here for it
 
Norman fucking Rockwell
I watch the skies getting light as I write
As I think about those years
As I whisper in your ear
I'm always going to be right here
No one's going anywhere

Was actually thinking about this too. I kinda just thought how a prism doesnt really have color itself, but when its beamed up, colors come out. so maybe it can be like a metaphor of her feeling empty, and having to go thru a failed marriage and having to rediscover who she was? 
 
Ghost's a pretty sad song. Love Me, not to sass, but she had to love herself, bc who she loved didn't love her back. This moment, day to day stuff to survive being able to plan gradually towards a future. Double Rainbow she sorta calls herself trash from her last relationship's perspective, which is actually horrible to hear someone sort of admit.. it's got the same reluctance/yearning as Lana's Love song.. BTGOG's her version of HiaD
 
It kinda makes me think that even if she was goin thru a shit time, that she had to convince herself to be happier or else she would've been stuck there. like how Lana edited Beautiful People, Problems from the original demo 
 
that's what I take from it at least.. 

i still want this song

I guess more of like personal observation from where it is here. It's been a while since I've been updated, classes have been missile-ing my sched but things are getting better. 

I think the last time we were updated, the quarantine/isolation date was pushed to may 15th? which is in a few days now.. 

They're starting to open the beaches again. and I think more people are allowed to work for their companies/small businesses again? 
they're opening a major park/public area tmrw.. 

there are like 33k cases around the counties


I'm grateful I can go outside so freely, social distancing. hike/run around the neighborhood. I miss the gym so so SO much. not affected, but I'd like to start working again. 

I'm a pretty reserved person (surprise!), but I still miss being able to go outside and be w distant proximity with crowds. Something about watching em from a distance makes me feel like society's moving and life's starting again and that makes me happy somehow .. I hate not being able to converse and interact w people properly. survival mode is waay different from living, and it feels like our humanity's been stripped from us and I hate it.. 

It's usually sadness or indifference in people's eyes. I bonded w this one woman who made eye contact w me this one time, gesturing like, wtf are these people crowding the aisle for. the casual reaction was warming hahahaha 

People I've seen when getting supplies haven't really been social distancing properly, and it feels like the wave hasn't really hit? yet. at the back of my mind, it feels so terribly surreal, but in actuality, time's still passed and the globe's still spinning, but it feels like we're just defeating ourselves more than anything bc progress still needs to occur/happen


.. of course there's still humor to the overall situation. 
Zooming, and like, a willingness to facetime and voice call, when texts were more preferred before     
Everyday tasks all seem like major events, and u can't help but wonder lol is this what life is like now? hahahahahahahaha   
family arguments are more pronounced, but it's just cute bc most of the time, u can see the 2 parties get over themselves. eventually lol   
the occasional, it just b that way sometimes     
getting checked out when ur out/checking someone out, but not being able to act bc u don't wanna risk it    :skull:     


how things literally, literally anything turn into jokes bc u start wondering if it's just absurd when u scale it back to life, and then THAT's made a joke       




be safe peeps. this's been. something 

how are things in ur guys' areas? 

this is random but i’m not a stan and i just remembered this now. but when she was promoting prism wasn’t she like posting videos of her burning her old wigs and old outfits from teenage dream. was prism supposed to be a dark concept and it got trashed or did she just do that for nothing. what happened to that

lemme raise u this. bc if they were oranges, they'd have belly buttons, but they don't. the shades are actually lemon nips. i'm not even kidding. 
alsso, the buttons would be darker and look impressed on the fruit. but they're not. the crescents at their ends were painted to make the fruits skin raised, bc. they're nips. they're lemon nips. 

FINALLY people are seeing sense lemons
 

Ohmygod u know what. From a certain angle, they do look like lemons..

I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing, who I was with, and the weather outside the first time I heard Body Electric. It blew my mind upon first listen to the point where I turned to my friend and was like "who is this???"
UGH good memories

Lana. it was a joke oop

She wildin’

I kinda wish the straps/garter were white/irridescent or something to make em feel a lot more, balanced.. and the contrast and detail diff would make it look more versatile n "official" looking.. 

I honestly wonder if she'll start selling condoms ciggies n lighters or something .. I wouldn't b opposed to it I guess 

I love all of Glory, but the triple serve that is the Slumber Party/Just Like Me/Love Me Down section... Glorious indeed!

they areeeeee! 
 
and mm I think so too. I think it might b because of the photo "texture"(?) of it, and the overall at the beach vibes. it feels like a classic kind of aesthetic it's great. sorta reminds me of an updated may jailer throwback

V true. I think w all those words, and the vagueness of it. it's hard not to try and read between the lines. main point tho, she's found something incredibly meaningful to her, happy about it, and celebrating what she can. sometimes letting go means more for love than arguing etc./ staying in bad graces w someone. 

Ok so. check her owtt 




this is album cover material. 

mm and that just gets me thinking what was done by then and how everything was planned.. 

I honestly hope so too. I know she uses shots like that more for singles, but I hope it comes thru.. 
 
The Terrence Loves You cover was BEAUTIFUL
