oh god same lmao that's why i hate it when people change their pfps

People I've loved and had in my life. I'm alone now.

us every night

Girl I wouldn't have even cared! When she announced she was working on a new album I was honestly taken by surprise. LFL still felt so new & fresh to me! I really didn't expect another album so soon. I was excited, of course, but I could have easily gone a full year without even thinking about LDR6. I'm not used to getting new music from my favorite artists that frequently. Or new music at all, considering most of them are either dead or retired. Waiting 3-5 years for a new album feels 100% normal to me. And if she had announced she felt the need to take a break for a while, that would have been fine. If she had said NFR would be coming somewhere around 2020, I would have accepted that and acted accordingly -i.e. moved on with my life. But she didn't do any of these things, sadly.

I'm pretty sure this is what all of our therapists want her to do

Albany tho

Found my new motto in life

I think it depends on how each person defines "bad". For example, I want her to be healthy and happy. I want her to find a man who loves her & treats her like a queen. I want her to have all the babies she wants. I want her to have good people in her life. But I want her to be a better person too. And that's unlikely to happen through mindless praise and constant enabling. Thoughtless hate -in the vein of the nasty things Sublime fans had to say about her- obviously has no value, these comments are only meant to offend. But I would love to see her called out on certain things. I would like some of her actions to have actual consequences. This is what helps people grow & evolve. We need to acknowledge our mistakes & learn from them, and Lana has made many mistakes she's probably not even aware of. I'm sure some would see this as wishing bad upon her. After all, change isn't the easiest thing in the world. It can be hard, it can be unpleasant. But I think it's necessary.

I think there might have been a misunderstanding. What we questioned was whether she lived the life she claims to have lived, experienced the things she claims to have experienced...if she's the person she claims to be. No one said she was a lazy bitch with no talent who had success handed to her. I don't think anyone here believes there's a surefire ticket to fame, a guaranteed way to make it.

That is one way to interpret the song, but definitely not the only way. I'm several decades away from being 60, and yet I feel like I'm 80 years old. I am not alone in that sentiment. Many people feel exactly the same. You can feel old even if you're physically young, depending on the kind of life you've lived & are living. Some people, sadly, peak very early in life. And so you end up feeling past your prime even if you're still in your 20s. Don't forget that women, in particular, are constantly reminded of our "expiration date". I don't want to think about it, and I would never say it to another woman, but I really do feel that way. I do see myself as having very few "good years" left, whereas the men I've known seemed perfectly capable of thriving well into their 50s and 60s. And most of us are pressured into growing up quick, we're forced into "maturity" earlier. All of this can lead to feeling very tired & burnt out and not considering yourself young even if technically, you are. That's what I got from Old Money. The only thing that implies the narrator is old is the part where she says "we were young", and like I said that could be seen as metaphorical. Other than that, she only makes a vague reference to the "power of youth" and how she's going to grow old & lose some of her beauty in the future. Those summer nights might certainly seem long ago, but seeming and being aren't one and the same. The song has a clearly nostalgic vibe, but she was never like "Hi, I'm Lana Del Rey, a 65 year old widow, and this is a song I wrote about my fourth husband Bartholomew who left me and the children to run away with his mistress 30 years ago". If that's what you want to visualize while listening to the song that's fine; it could easily be used as a soundtrack for a movie with a similar plot. You can interpret it that way if you want. But you don't have to. I didn't even think of it that way tbh.

No one said she isn't talented. No one said her voice sucks. No one said she isn't charming and charismatic. And we're not saying she didn't work hard either. That was never the subject here.

Ned pls wake up

this is some Dexter finale shit

Maybe she blocked them

the time on her hands whew

Lana Del Ete

the Gemini jumped out of her lmao

I- Have we sold our souls? Taken a blood oath? Are we contractually obligated to give her our coin and keep drinking the kool-aid? Where are all these obligations coming from lmao This isn't Ultraviolence, jesus

I...don't think I am who you think I am :/ That aside, okay, whatever.

finally a theory that makes sense

This is actually really interesting.

and all this time we thought there was no plan

Still fresh after all these years and I've played it to death <3

omg can you imagine a bunch of middle aged interscope execs begging for NFR like the rest of us and lana being like 'i said its coming u little bitches'
