Beautiful Loser

Translation of the Swedish parts in Like I Used To: Mmm... I, like, don't recognize you What happened to you? Is this who you really are, or..? The leaves don't fall with the season And dreams don't wait by the window A couple of seeds that the rain won't reach And I don't feel like I used to I don't feel like I used to I don't feel like I used to... No, no, no... (I didn't think it would change You said that you were only human I don't even know anymore You're, like, not the same person Is this who you really are, or..?) I was born anew Sure, I was born anew This is the renaissance This is purely essence, but Whoop! New! You're new! This is just ice for an inuit Sand for a bedouin "Pain" is my middle name, since an endless time Out of* beer, out of salary Snow on the leaves, smelly sweaty desert, red eyes Out of the tube**, can't think straight*** Last stop in seven minutes I shoot it out with small cartridges Crying rivers, difficult tunes Patience is on the hook Such small portions of wisdoms that I've dropped on Earth But I don't feel at all like I once did I didn't feel at all for the older words I didn't feel at all, so I turned the tables With the veins in the soul, I'm almost better off dead If the money rain don't put out the fire of the cigarette Down to the last spark before I burn up Forced to choose between no wings or no air But what you don't know is that I've found someone new And my heart is on fire like a logotype Like, so crazy, like, so smitten Time of the day, like, so naked, like, on the roof Pinch my arm, something new for the world dawns in warmness I care for closer, shun the worse But cold nights are no longer cold nights from then on Greetings from a place which is hella much better But cold nights are no longer cold nights from then on Greetings from a place which is hella much better Where life is a vacation A place where we have it better ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Out of... that is a correct translation, but think of it as in "out of bread". Something's missing. ** Timbuktu raps "Tuben" which is a slang word for the metro, the subway. So "out of the tube" wouldn't, with my translation above, mean getting out of the subway train, it would mean something like "the subway is out of function" perhaps, or that he's reaching the last stop. Unless he means a different kind of tube, like a toothpaste tube, lol. *** "Slut i huvudet" means that you're out of energy and can't think anything at all at the moment, you have no ideas to deliver etc., your mind has stopped functioning (like the subway train mentioned above). Which is why I chose to translate it as "can't think straight anymore".

Do you think she'll go to Glastonbury too since it's only a few days after?

I think the lyrics for Venice BItch is a bit weak sometimes but the overall sound and the music is so good that I don't mind. It might be on my top 3 Lana songs.

Ooh, I wanna go, Dublin was pretty. Wicklow Mountains were prettier though, if anyone is staying for a few days I recommend the bus tours to County Wicklow. Anyway, it would be awesome if she sang the new songs on that show.

Don’t put ideas in my head that I know won’t happen.

I got the notification for HIAB video now, two hours after she shared it and I’ve already hit the like button.

I just hope the whole album won’t be very ballad-y, the end of Mariners and Venice Bitch are so far the only things that makes me feel like I’m going to space. Lana has always sounded soft, but I’m hoping for something more since she mentioned guitars inspired by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I’ve never heard anyone being so random as Lana in that interview, she was everywhere and had tons of things to tell and I was there for it. Whew! I’ll never forget it, haha.

We learned from the interview that the album name would be Norman Fucking Rockwell, that she might drop a single in October and that she’s written something that could be called poetry and might collect them for a book. That was all if I remember right, except for her riding planes as a hobby.

I feel like a bad fan, I forgot the melody for How to disappear. :/

I know I might be delulu, but it seems like she’s singing about being on stage and singing on her concerts (which she did a LOT in 2017-early 2018), or perhaps she’s imagining being us, her fans, singing along with her songs, but I just wonder... the serial killer part... she’s not referring to that weird stalker who tried to kidnap her? I hope she’s just referring to her own song?

Ok never mind, the melody sounds really good.

WHY DID SHE KEEP HAPPINESS IS A FUGLIFLY AND NOT YOSEMITITTY??!!! Aaaaand I’m off to actually listen to the snippet Lana shared that I didn’t get a notification of.

Ohh, I’ve seen her in Poldark but I never thought she looked similar to Lana. Probably thanks to the costumes. But I can see what you mean in the first picture.(Her Elizabeth character started out good and later becomes pretty bitchy and just mean thanks to her second husband, I don’t like her very much lol)

THIS is what I tried to say about LFL - it felt like she didn’t deliver those vocals I know she can sing so well!

Can someone bring @ back from the dead, I miss seeing him being all excited about Lana.

Me too, the way she teased White Mustang... sigh. The more she revealed, the lower became my hopes for it to actually sound interesting and good. I never really liked it that much, but if she teased less of it and not almost the whole song, my disappointment would have come later, haha...

Can't stop hearing it in my mind like "Oi! Play Norman Focking Rockwell ye stoopid turd!" or something cnalsjcnc sorry if that was cringey :toofunny: :toofunny:

It's really impossible to say Norman Fucking Rockwell without sounding sassy or nonchalant, huh?

It won't be a problem if I get to the Norman Fucking Rockwell heaven.

I don’t care, I WILL HYPE IT AS MUCH AS I WANT!!!

Was half asleep, checked my phone and it said Lana posted a video 37 minutes ago and I thought it was just a selfie and went back to sleep. Oh wow, the lyrics in How to Disappear. Wow wow wow, Lana has really been working on her lyrics this time. This is so heartfelt, this is gonna be one of her best ballads. My hopes for this album are skyrocketing, I’m so excited for this. I was a bit worried that MAC and VB would be the only two super good, amazing songs but with this snippet... it made me believe the whole album is gonna sound fantastic.

Omgggggg I just don’t understand Korean and Japanese entertainment companies sometimes, she’s an adult and has a great career and probably makes them loads of money, why can’t they let her be??

Agree. Beauty in simplicity, or something like that.

Instead of a car on the album, can we have a picture of Lana with her hobby airplane instead?
