No need. You're doing a pretty good job of dragging yourself with posts like these.
 

Can you people stop being stupid, please.

I see Lana’s Albums as her varying degrees of depression
 
BTD: She’s happy & sad but overall happy with life
Paradise: shit hit the fan but she’s still ok
UV: Worst place emotionally you can be at
HM: She’s come far but still has her bad moments
LFL: She’s faking being ultra happy trying to make it
& is going up & down emotionally.
NFR: She’s finally got it under control & finally feels happy, but she also knows she will never be 100%.
This album feels like another look back at her life. Her most honest album with the truest reflection. She’s confronting what makes her sad. So she ends the album basically saying. Her hope may bring her so very low again, but she has to have hope for the future. If we include pre BTD we can see she achieved the happiness we wanted. Yet SNL derailed it, she had a different HOPE for her career. She wanted the praise & as we all know that’s not what she got.

Cannot wait to blast Cinnamon Girl so loud that my ears bleed and I go deaf.

Here reading the comparisons amongst NFR and HM and they just don't make any sense. They are nothing but absolutely different in gender and production terms. The change on NFR from what she's done before is so huge that it's no longer possible to understand it as a piece of the Lana del Rey we knew until LFL. Even if she brought something new on each of her previous albums, they all were structured towards her bombastic, opulent and distant queen persona, all the sound was quite theatrical and evocative of the character she was building. There's absolutely nothing left from that on NFR. Not a single trail of the grandiloquent sound and mindset she was developing since Born to Die. So, most of all, to avoid dissapointments from judging the album from an outdated vision, try to expect something absolutely new. If you don't, the fall may be huge and painful. And there's surely things to be enjoyed and highlighted in her new sound and artistic otuput, so no need for falling, actually.

This song is a perfect example of what Honeymoon is all about. The lyrics are meant to be poetic, to paint images on your head and take you on a journey. When I listen to Salvatore I automatically imagine myself in Italy, eating ice cream sitting by the sidewalk on a hot summer day while I watch cute guys walk by. "Pink flamingos always fascinated me" of course that line won't make sense but it paints a image on your head of you surrounded by flamingos and girls on a field (I see you Dua Lipa). It's not meant to be literal, it's poetry it's exquisite it's magical. 

I'll try & explain the connections I've made when I hear L4L (even though this is the NFR thread). For me, it's as if 1/2 of the tracks are more geared towards "Lust" & the other 1/2 towards "Life" (well, lusting for life amidst the fear of death). She scatters these 'lust' & 'life' tracks in a pattern. I don't care if this is a reach, but here's my track-by-track breakdown:
 
"Love" -> life-affirming, since she's kinda addressing us (and addresses her self-love, towards the end) "Lust for Life" -> lust, since it's more about her & The Weeknd's chemistry. The music video is also a fantasy. "13 Beaches" -> life, given the beginning dialogue about not being other people & Lana's "dying for something real"  "Cherry" -> lust; just hear that chorus again  "White Mustang" -> This was a trickier song for me to mentally categorize, because it could be that she's looking back on someone she knew. But she also mentions "Armageddon", the man being a killer, & that "Summer's meant for lovin' & leavin'"... I would categorize this as a 'life' song.  "Summer Bummer" -> lust, given the chorus bridge & A$AP Rocky's feature  "Groupie Love" -> This song is like the opposite of ^ that's nonetheless attracted/attractive. I figure this is a 'life' song because it's almost like Lana's celebrating that she's got her man in A$AP Rocky. Plus, the applause at the very end makes it seem such.  "In My Feelings" -> lust, because she's hyping herself up as the bad bitch she is "Coachella - Woodstock in my mind" -> life, because she's calling out for sustaining something greater than her own individual actions "God Bless America" -> In a break with this lust-life pattern I've categorized, I'd consider this a 'life' song. You can just tell from the title that she's celebrating female solidarity, and in the verses, she's affirming her own worth.  "WTWWAWWJKD" -> I'd categorize this as a 'lust' song, but it's certainly slower than the other songs I labeled as 'lust' songs. When she addresses the girls, she knows not all of them can just go 'across the pond' to avoid the Trump administration. When she addresses the boys, she's calling out all their greed.  "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems" -> A 'life' song, because the lyrics present a more relatable/realistic situation (aside from the rivers running red with blood & walking through fire).  "Tomorrow Never Came" -> A 'lust' song, even though it's another romantic duet, because of the lyrical content tying back to how Lana's hypothetical date didn't grow into a lasting relationship.  "Heroin" -> From here until the album's conclusion, this pattern I made is broken. I'd consider this a 'lust' song because this is perhaps the darkest song on the album. Its placement on the track listing is akin to "The Blackest Day" off of Honeymoon. Not to mention the vibe where she's alluding to the Manson Family. Heroin's lyrics seem to be the (ir)rational outcome of Lana's lusting.  "Change" -> Undoubtedly a 'life' song, and Lana's most personal song off the album. ALL of the lyrics are in the present tense here. The piano keys set up this so(m)ber vibe. (I imagine her sobering up here after letting go of the dark energy in the previous song). It's also the last song on the album to feature her falsetto voice. She also wraps up her 'summer', complete with harmonies, questioning her beauty & stability leading up to the falsetto-fied chorus.  "Get Free" -> Now that Lana has released the dark energies, acknowledged the turmoil in this world (without compromising her values), and grown from her more vain expressions, she much more clearly sees & charts the path she's taking. She releases her negative energy by stating she 'crossed the threshold' & that 'the Crowley way of being' is gone. (Aleister Crowley was a famous practitioner of the occult arts, & was once described as the world's most wicked man). The pre-choruses suggest she won't allow herself to be consumed by society's false perceptions & projections of what an ideal life entails. She also indirectly states that she won't take us for granted, a suggestion made in 'Love'. And the 'out of the black, into the blue' lines feature increasingly contrasting harmonies, along with the keyboard sounds that I personally imagine as lighthouse lights, and along with the beach noises at the very end.  All in all, I hope the Lust For Life album makes more sense for you if you perceive these songs as being complimentary coupled up!

Agreed! I think it's a very coherent album.

The story that I read in LFL is the following: a woman in her thirties, growing, becoming more mature. She is acknowledging the world a bit more outside herself , reflects on her life in general (Love, 13 Beaches, the political tracks), falls in love again... only to realize the guy is pretty much like her exes (LFL, Cherry, WM, SB, GL, IMF, BPBP, TNC). She wants to change, to be happy, feels it could happen, but is still pulled back by old patterns (Change, Heroin, Get Free). 

Well I obviously didn't know that lol

why is this the most realistic thing ive ever read about her  the iphone 6 plus part 

The same two users complaining over and over while everyone else realizes this could be her best or second best album is sending me.

Yall here with producers or whatever... i want lana’s next album to be written and produced by whoever wrote “in the cock in the cock in the cockpit i’m your baby”

Lana’s lyrics have never been about originality or breaking literary grounds; rather, they’re broad impressionistic strokes that marry music to evoke feeling and mood. Think the paintings of Monét translated into musical form. It’s not about the detail, but the feeling that is cultivated, and that feeling transporting you to a particular place or time.
 
To call them Lana cliches is to miss the point. All great artists have their favorite subjects that they refract and reframe time and again, and that’s what makes Lana special in the current age of pop music.

Once Upon a Dream due to its terrible audio quality and production

I-                 

If yall will have children one day make sure you give them enough love and attention...cuz if you dont they will be making fake twitter profiles begging people to notice them

could it b a reference to Antidote by Travis Scott

this month is gunna be the best month (of my life)
NFR is gunna be dropped in august 30
and my country now will finally allow women to travel without men permission through the system, they can be free officially on august 30th so they can do it by their own with no man control.. guys i  will finally be free and my dad won't control my life anymore  

Hm what struck me as different was how happy she looked in the video, and how, fourth wall it, she seems like she was really having fun, at least making it too. Like not to b weird or anything, but that makes me glad; it's like a nice contrast to how sad the song can be.

Oh my gooood it finally let's me write I thought it was going to take forever so happy to be a clown

So, at this point. Which the hell is the real lead single of this era? MAC? FIILY, TG or FIILY and TG at the same time?

(Looks around nervously) i...I'm not sure you are either. I haven't heard it yet and frankly it's my most anticipated besides Love Song so I can't call slander yet, but those are dangerous sentences. the roost is mostly sleeping I think but good luck in the morning
