omg the kim kardashian of lb, i stan

you know what..... i’m gonna say it. i don’t think we should be sitting here excited and rejoicing about some bald pale men ~finally~ liking *Lana Del Rey* because the only reason they hated her so much in the past is because of her caricaturized image of femininity that made every male critic and every woman in the world with internalized misogyny hate her so much because of that image.
 
so no, i’m not gonna clap when it’s still INHERENTLY misogynistic that they like her now
 
lana’s music is different now, but that doesn’t mean it’s better (or worse!) but the conversation about how a change in image to be more digestible to a wider audience based purely off of aesthetics pisses me off!!!!!!!!! thanks.

matcha in my teeth
from your double matcha    You're touching leek
and all the spinning courses that you did cycle, sweat and bad pefume to keep me at armslength don't work you try to stink me out but i just find a shower for you Hillsong church to keep me out I win

yeah we let you in on this thread

So I went to a music store and asked if they had the album, they said they had it but couldn't sell it. I begged them with my baby doll eyes and they asked me to leave :')

I'm gonna be so disappointed when I listen to Love Song for the first time and she doesn't sing in the cock in the cock in the cockpit

I always thought those "I dreamt that so & so happened" posts were bs but last night I actually had a dream this thread got locked with no explanation whatsoever & they spoke about it on the news 

2 days and 23 hours for Jack Strogonoff and Lasagna Del Rey's magnum opus

we found the lisa of this era

while you kids worry about your dan abersmock album, the rest of us with taste are patiently waiting for ldr7 produced by Pharrell

I made a status about this but I think it holds validity and needs to be here. I’m beginning to think Lana’s releasing albums in different phases/chapters
 
Prologue:
•Sirens
•AKA
 
Chapter/Phase 1:
•BTD->
•UV->
•HM
 
Chapter/Phase 2:
•LFL->
•NFR->
•TBD / LDR6/7
 
I know we’ve talked about this being a thing before, with similarities to each album to other ones (BTD/LFL, UV/NFR, HM/LDR6/7)
But if we think about it in phases, and if this is her idea and she’s actually thought this through, the past would tell us that her next one will probably be out October/November 2020 or early 2021 and she’s already probably writing some stuff and maybe already recording with Jack some or maybe even Rick again. Also, if she’s thinking about it in chapters, she might even do an epilogue before ending the LDR persona
 
[then again, the past doesn’t always repeat itself but remember Life imitates art ]

the ldr7 pre-release thread better be this iconic 

Remember when Lana tripped over the power cable and broke jacks pc and the album died

Her blue jeans voice is a big example tbhShe has never sounded like this live

my target went from "preordered" to "preparing" dis mornting

i like to fill up a twink with my dong
douche it to keep me turned on

she’s putting a hex on azealia

I've heard the live version and numerous snippets... more than enough for me to conclude that it's going to be an absolutely stunning song.

One of the highlights (for people who have good hearing abilities). 

I like to see everything in neon
 
Drink lime green, queef up till dawn
 
Maybe the way that I’m living is killing me
 
Soimovedtocaliforniabutitsjustastateofmind

Well I think the "shoot up my veins in neon", "drink lime green" etc, all ties into the theory that MoreBannedThanYou and I have that "neon" is like ... the lure of fame, money, etc.
 
So in other words, she used to shoot it up, drink it, buy into it.
 
That's why the neon aurora is in the Californian sky in the MV.
 
"Dream a little dream of me" etc ... it's about people having this perception of her that she's rich and famous and everything is wonderful, etc.
 
ETA: Oh yeah and the "I wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine" is her lamenting that fame can't love her back.

it's clearly jizz. and i've been thinking, not like it isn't obvious, that the song is about drugs. she works other topics in there too, but i think on the most personal level that it's about:
 
"so i moved to California"   moving away/ leaving old friends behind/ getting rid of physical things that you associate with drugs but...  
 
"but it's just a state of mind"   realizing that it isn't about where you are, relocating won't change your addict mind.
she associates New York with drugs so she moves away but the craving or ruminations still follow. 
 
"everywhere you go, you take yourself"  most of her life has been spent trying to escape addiction. that's why the car theme is so heavy in her lyrics. cars represent escape and freedom. she tries so hard to leave this past behind, but she just can't shake it. sometimes cravings are just so strong or you have positive memories associated with those times when you were using that even 15 years after being sober you can still have cravings every day. she is starting to feel like this is just who she is; she thinks the urges to use are just a part of her because her art/work and life has been so intertwined in drug use. 
 
she wants to "do it differently" . she doesn't want to be an addict anymore. 1001+ reasons for that.
 
"it's killing me slowly"   drugs kill and weaken your health, but this may also refer to the feeling of being trapped, feeling so bad that it feels like it's killing her. it could also be that she is having withdrawals which can also kill you or at least make you feel like you are going to die. maybe she means all of these ideas and more.
 
"I used to shoot up my veins in neon and shit's even brighter now that you're gone"   drugs can make you numb or make you feel electric and bright...for a quick moment. some people use drugs to feel that great "bright" feeling of nirvana. when you are trying to quit by stopping, you feel like absolute shit. it takes a veeeerrrrrrrrrrryyyyy long time for you to start to feel better and achieve some slightly good feeling on your own. although it takes a while, she realizes that she can feel good or happy without using drugs; the drugs being what is "gone".   "You can't feel it and you're tired"   some drugs can make you feel numb and tired; during an overdose on heroin the body relaxes so much into a state of almost sleeping, heart barely beating, barely breathing. it feels warm and you're tired and just want to sleep, you don't even want to wake up from it.     mmmkay so this is my take, and genetics/biology/trauma/environment/illness, etc. or nothing at all can be associated with why people start using/abusing. i didn't talk about all the complexities of addiction and drug abuse so sorry if some of what i wrote seems offensive, i just don't want to have to explain why i said what i said. anyways...   i said what i said.

@@MoreCruelThanYou is dead and we were discussing the double MV in the spiritual realm. His spirit sent me his thoughts via the ouija board. It took me 3 days to write it all down.
 
These are our thoughts (okay, mostly his):
 
So remember when she put out the L4L tracklist and all the songs were handwritten in different colours? The red/ pink tracks were coloured by love/passion/ and hopeful undertones (Love & Get Free, etc), the blue tracks were coloured by emotion (In My Feelings, Coachella and Heroin, etc), the yellow (13 Beaches) isn't coloured by anything, it's just her talking real to us, and the green tracks were coloured by being money hungry i.e. songs she thought would sell well (Summer Bummer and Groupie Love, etc).   So basically, going by this theory, I think the lime green in the lyrics and on her eyeliner in FIILY is meant to symbolize money taking over her career and her artistic vision. Like she really doesn't want to sing anymore, and might feel forced into performing. This is why she is crying and has tears in her eyes in the water. The ocean and nature are where she feels free, especially in the scenes where she is surfing. But even that freedom is being taken advantage of by her managers and the general public, which is shown through her and Muscle Beach Baby being broadcast "fake surfing" on the TV. Muscle Beach Baby also represents how she feels society pressures her to be associated with a man in order to be successful (which also relates to the reasons she put Duke on the NFR cover. She is trying to reverse the standard of women being eye candy and being a "prop" for men).   When she's painting in the video, all the colours are blue or yellow. She purposely doesn't include green because she does not want her art to be affected by sales. The neon green can also be related back to the windbreaker on the NFR cover. The green windbreaker is shielding her from the ocean spray, in the same way that money making tactics are shielding her music from being as authentic as she wants it to be.   Her nails are yellow on the NFR cover and in the MV, hearkening back to 13 Beaches being yellow on the Lust for Life handwritten tracklist. She uses her hands and fingers to make art and she wants her art to be "something real" as 13 Beaches states. So basically, Fuck it I love you is the money grabbing song and The Greatest is what she really feels and wants to say from the heart. She is tired and worn out by having to fit into society's (and her managers') archetypal imagery of her in order to make money for them. She just wants to make real art but can't and feels that she has sold out for the gp and is regretting it. Anyway, that's my interpretation of it.
