  1. Awww thx my love! :kiss: Well I tried my best. I went by known writers/producers, year and content/production. It's not easy to go JUST by years, because her 2011 stuff, for example is EXTREMELY diverse and not cohesive at all.

    Just one question - which version of Making Out, On Our Way and Driving In Cars did you use? Cause I know there's the autotuned & regular versions for MO, acoustic demo & final for OOW and the 'regular' voice & monotonous voice for DICWB.


  2. i recently started listening to Wounded Rhymes and god it's just incredible. her voice is so unique and her lyrics are so powerful. haven't listened to the other albums yet but Jesus, WR is fantastic.


  3. "Tenement" makes plenty of sense. Tenements are a really common form of housing on the East Side of NYC which she namechecks multiple times in this song.

    Ah okay, I had no idea about that. Thanks for the heads up!


  4. This is so late, but I noticed that no one rly has pointed this out: (Left out by omission or??)

    "I bought a bomb

    I bought a heart"

    I still don't understand what this means

    um I think she's just humming at the end of the song; I don't think she's actually singing anything


  5. But what would be the meaning? "Understand my white lies" makes more sense than "understand my white lines".

    'Understand my white lines' - can you understand my drug addiction? Do you understand why I need to take these drugs? Can you understand why we're on these drugs?

     

    There's a variety of meanings for the phrase imo


  6. I hear "Baby, I’m a cinnamon girl/Keepin’ it fresh on the far East Side/Baby, I’m a dynamite girl/Keepin’ it and cut your cherry pie". 'Dynamite' makes way more sense to me than 'tenement'.


  7. God, I wish we had another Lana song as bitter and hateful as this song. You can literally hear her seething with anger in her voice during this song.


  8. It's really unsettling how this song is the last on the tracklist. Almost the whole album is about this guy was addicted to drugs and he abused her both physically and mentally. Cruel World sets you up believing Lama will be happy to see him go, but Flipside at the end literally throws the whole thing onto its flipside - now she's suddenly like 'maybe we'll be together again in the future'; despite the awful way he has treated her, she still hopes for some form of reconciliation. It's dark, gloomy and falls into the category of 'unlistenable' that Lana hoped for the album.

     

    Also, I really like the parallels between this - the last track on the second (or third, depending how you see it) album - and Born to Die - the first track on the 'first' album. "Don't make me sad, don't make me cry" - "You don't wanna break me down, you don't wanna make me cry" It's really clever.


  9. I don't think Lana looked attractive AT ALL during the emerging-from-the-pool scene in the SoC video. I've seen a lot of people posting about how flawless she looks in it, but I just don't see it myself. Her face looks all kinds of wrong (sorry honey) in the scene.
