War In My Mind

I, on the other hand, love mess. Please give me a lyric that can be misinterpreted about the stoned mesh mask

im glad I saved the image of her looking up, that is such a cute picture. I'm using it for the singles rn

Idk if anyone's talked about this but only Blue Banisters is available to use on the instagram music option. So it goes to support the theory that Wildfire Wildflowers and Text Book are pour les intimes

It might not be a friday but it is the US national holiday, and we know she stans the fourth of july so im not shocked by the date choice

This I could fuck with

In the song Ol man river, the river is again a personified reference to the Mississippi river. It is not a person but a metaphor for the passage of time. That despite anything that is going on, time is objective, it has a continuous flow, an unwavering direction (rivers only flow in one direction, there is never a reverse). Ol man river then can be an intertextual reference to this song yes, but more likely to the metaphor of the uncaring passage of time. For Lana, she is yearning to return to a time before ("Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?"), but she recognizing that time is irreversible despite the desires of a person or the climate of a time. The song I would argue, isn't her clamoring for a love of a person but for her relationship with time: "blue" not only being her favorite color but the color associated with water, reinforcing that the "lover" of this song is not a person but time. Again, throughout the song we see this reference with time. From the title "text book" the physical place where the passage of time and important events are recorded. But again, in the pre-chorus where she sings: Here we see again metaphorical references to water and time. First, that water is the first place of reflection, (pre-mirrors, it is where Narcissus discovered himself), she is seeing her reflection in the water of the river of time. Writing against the perception perhaps that she is "racist" and against the reception of her "question for the culture" post, "you know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be". The water reflects the ideals that she truly holds but also because the passage of time makes all things clear. Then the "we were screaming Black Lives Matter" here the "we" is a collective "we" those who stand up for black lives matter, itself a historically significant event; so while the perception is that she is racist or tone-deaf might be the popular thought, but that in her reflection unconscious, she (and time) know that to be untrue. Then there are numerous references to dance, and bodies of water in their movement are described as dances. So again, doing a dance with time, negotiating her place in the space of history or in the text book so to speak. Then she talks about previous relationships and being betrayed by the men she's met before, but then she meets the "man" of the song (i.e. ol man river) and she no longer has to consider why, that perhaps with the perspective of time, relationships become useful in how they lead to development of the personality. Of her into a more independent woman with complex ideas and a complex relationship with herself and time.

I replaced the covers with the original instagram photo she posted with the ms paint Blue Banister text but then I cropped out the ms paint text

As I said, when you interpret the song, yes they are both about her. But the personification of her narcissism/depression in literary practice makes the two separate entities within the song.

To be fair in that second quote, she's personifying the narcissist that's "on (her) back" so while the narcissist may indeed be her, in the song, it is two separate entities.

On the flipside, i actually find it interesting and experimental that there are four? five? rhythm and key changes. It also works to make the song more meaningful. A song about rewriting history and the song itself does not follow a normal/standard format

And there's like additional eyes added to her chest

didn't mind the self covers until I realized that the Textbook cover is particularllly ugly LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Is it only available on streaming?? I want to buy FLAC versions but Tidal isn't updating for me?
