I think she means that with the money she made from people constantly talking about her aka free publicity -from her weight to her political views- she bought some expensive ass shoes, so she's thanking the haters: your interest really made stacks  so thanks for that!

There is something specifically tragic about this album’s story. On one hand, she’s developed an independence and strength supported by her family and friends - Chuck not least of all, who appears on the title song to save Lana from heartache as well as in this album’s conclusion. But we also hear of Lana’s long-standing desire to have children “give me children, take away my pain”.
 
Upon having not only the strength to leave one doomed relationship after the other, she has also each time forfeited another hope she had of having children, but has still done so for the sake of her happiness, which she then finds in her family and friends. Just as she approaches this point however, Chuck, her sister and closest to her and instrumental in her healing discovers she is pregnant. Lana sings to her future daughter in Cherry Blossom, which is strangely mournful for a lullaby. Even still, she dedicates and sings a song right after in which she chooses to be happy for her sister, who is having understandable concerns despite been blessed with motherhood, and dedicates a song to her.
 
this all contextualised with her relationship with her own mother as explicitly explored across the album?
 
Damn Lana.

I agree with you!!
My interpretation of the album is that it starts with her breakup with Sean (TB, BB) which leads her to do a deep introspection. She starts with an introspection on her image, how others see her (Arcadia, BBS, Beautiful). On IYLDWM, she’s not over the breakup yet, but then the introspection continues as she realises that Sean wanted to change her for someone she is not (Beautiful, VFR). That leads her to the angry stage of her breakup on Dealer. She then regains her calm but still holds a grudge against Sean for not being a good enough man for her, for not caring as much as she wanted him to. She’d rather cut him off (Thunder). On WFWF, she meets a new man and warns him of her past, and the issues she’s had. The introspection continues as she tells her new man (possibly Clayton at the time?) that she’ll do her best to not turn into a wildfire despite her past. She then goes deeper into her past by remembering an old lover on NOTG and realises how hard life still is for her, but she starts thinking about an old friend of hers on LL and how life could be with a kid on CB, and realises that no matter how hard things are, she’ll always be full of love for the people she holds very close to her heart. She knows she’s not alone and has so much love to give. She’s now over the breakup, and makes an attempt at leaving behind the pain of her past to focus on the present. Her sister is having a baby, and Lana knows that that’s what matters the most. The album closes with SC, a love letter for Chuck to remind her she’s always here for her.

Happy saturday beautiful people of LB 
 
That moment during the ig live when she said that the wawawas in living legend where supposed to mimic a SAX and not an electric guitar

She explained a lot of her old lyrics with VfR
 
Roses are Lana's love for her boyfriend(s)
Violets are Lana's sadness/pain when her boyfriend(s) leave her
 
"I love rose gardens
I plant violets every time someone leaves me"
- My Bedroom is a Sacred Place Now - There Are Children at the Foot of my Bed
 
"Roses, Bel Air
Take me there
I've been waiting to meet you"
- Bel Air
 
"There are violets in your eyes,
There are guns that blaze around you
There are roses in between my thighs"
- Honeymoon
 
Why are you calling it a filler 

What did her ancestors do, omg. She keeps hinting at her lineage doing something crazy?

Beautiful is so sad and stellar..pls
 
 

i was scrolling through the thread from yesterday where people were comparing UV and BB and i’d like to think of UV as a moody teenager and BB is the mature adult version who’s been through the pain but is healing?

Honestly I keep going back the beautiful over and over i love how she’s gone from “out of the black into the blue” and now she’s “turning the blue into something beautiful” 

Absolutely gorgeous  I’m hoping we get a few more Neil photos this era. As always, he captures the mood of the album like no other.

a serve me thinks

Thinking about "if someone ever yells at you or gets angry with you, LEAVE THEM" and then in the next breath she's talking about throwing plates at her tour manager for not letting her go on stage in a thunderstorm

Her caption gave me anxiety. And she posted my edit in that post, which was liked by Chuck and Charlie

your interest really made stacks out of it
for
me
SO THANKS FOR THAT
 

 
You said I was BAD
let me show yew
HOW BAD GIRLS DEW
 

Beautiful hits differently on good speakers in a quiet room
 

i think so too. on her ig live she mentions the pattern of fragility running through her lineage and that she hasn’t been able to write as autobiographically as she’d like to because there’s a lot to unpack within her family tree.
 
the album is quite literally her text book, her history, searching for that connection with her father and finding matriarchal security in her “sisters” that wasn’t present with her own mother. she’s revealed a lot on this album, and when i listen to it i feel like she’s speaking directly to the listener letting us know exactly why she’s the way she is.

Expanding on what other users have mentioned, I think it’s nice that Lana seems to be settling into a soundscape that she’s been hinting at for years now. 
 
I think that Lana’s history of drastically changing her sounds across records (trip-hop, jazzy dream pop, desert rock, folk) has made the last 3 records feel like there was no evolution of sound, but I’d argue that’s not really the case. 
 
For example, I can’t imagine something like FIILY on Blue Banisters without it sounding completely out of place. Conversely, I can’t picture Text book on NFR! at all. Regardless, I think it’s pretty normal—even with the most renowned artists—to settle into a specific genre while still maintaining a sense of novelty. 
 
Does that mean Lana will never branch out from her singer-songwriter, folky tendencies? Of course not—it’s worth mentioning that it wasn’t remotely long ago that she was toying with tracks like Doin’ Time.
 
Would I be open to seeing a huge sonic shift? Totally, but I don’t think there’s anything remotely wrong, stagnant, or lazy with where she’s at production-wise after hearing Blue Banisters in full. I think it’s similar enough to show how she wants to present herself as an artist but different enough to hold interest. Idk just my subjective thoughts on this
