Maybe fans started invading her space or something like that

Imagine thinking like this

I hope happiness is a butterfly isn't her attempt at a Love 2.0. Love is amazing, and I think like all of her material, doesn't need a to be recreated. I don't want another BTD. I don't want another Ultraviolence. I don't want another LFL. Same with everything she's done. I want the next best thing she comes up with.

Anybody know what this is about?

i hate that she said she edits herself now rather than just writing down her stuff diary style like she used to....and honestly i feel like her happiness during LFL was very forced like the cover looks like she had someone holding a gun to her head and said smile idk it just looked so forced

Ah, when she was pretending she'd release an unreleased collection? Okie doke

that was a while ago at her little pop up shops

Yea i hated maternal lana ever since love came out, and I remember posting (after I gave in and listened to it) about how BAR was reassuring because it sounded more selfish and traditional lana, so I thought that the rest of the album would also carry that and love was just the anomaly
 
Fast forward 13 months and she's teased a song called happiness is a butterfly which mentions her babies on tourlyfe (and for that I blame the entourage of gays that followed her to every show)

i think its from the Tropico shoot with just flowers edited on her head. either way i love it

I get your point too, just doesn’t bother me as much it seems.
But is it self-censorship or is it true personal growth?
Is she trying to be woke as you said, or just feels different personally without outside influences?
These are the questions I have..
Also don’t think she can censor herself out of creativity

im jealous of your new avi

She probably censored that song a lot more than we realise, i bet if she made the track during born to die/paradise/UV era it would be much more dark and twisted

I really hope she doesn't self-edit so much in the future.

Me @ pre LFL Lana
 

For years i dreaded the day she'd have babies and start singing cheesy songs about them, little did i know she'd pre empt that and adopt the whole fan base
 
Not that Love was cheesy, but non maternal Lana was the shit and I'll miss her

@@99centlips I get your point.. but in my opinion, art is not about what's right or wrong - it is supposed to make people feel something or elicit an emotional response - so if she doesn't relate to the topic of that song anymore, she shouldn't sing it in the first place. I just found it very silly & immature how she has to do that in the middle of the performance.
 
She has started censoring her songs - we all know that - she said it in an interview a few months ago. I just feel she's very conscious about the influence of her music on her younger fanbase now & it might effect her artistic process in LDR6.

Tbh I don't like it. Just sing the song as it is. Like yeah it's good she has a different perspective than when she did when she wrote G&M but ugggh

I want a full recording of the Sydney show.

I partly agree with this, it's sad to see her turn her back on her art like this. I wish she wouldn't do it, but at the same time people do change and regret some of the things they've said and done in the past

^ no offence but it's hard to take her seriously when she's so concerned about her reputation & the 'effect' her music has on the generation. She could have performed the song with passion & shown some professionalism but she had to show how 'woke' she is.
 
God's & Monsters is a perfect piece of art & I know we won't be getting such explicit & iconic songs after Lust For Life - cause she's making 'music for the kids now'.

I don’t think she was trying to be woke at all!
If anything, it’s a testament at how lost and insecure she was when she wrote those lyrics that she doesn’t agree with them anymore. She really was in such a dark place and writing so freely.

honey this isn't newssss, but some of the people here need a reminder... 

...Honeymoon is a solid masterpiece.
