is it just me who thinks of some Lana songs as pairs? like for example Money Power Glory and FMWUTTT. not for any apparent reason, but i just do, maybe im the only one tho 💀

That's funny, yall always complain about how ''repetitive''/poor her lyrics were prior to NFR, especially on Ultraviolence. Always acting like those songs are, in hindsight, subar from a songwriting perspective. That's one POV I don't give a fuck about and/or don't agree with. The music was so much more atmospheric then.
 
Besides I've had this argument countless times with you and other hardcore post-NFR stans--I've stated my case many times and I don't care to do it again with you here. Love that some people love the vagabond poet-stream of consciousness, more freestyle stuff, and there are songs I really appreciate that follow that path/approach, but I still think that her pre-NFR lyricism was more mystical, mysterious and effective without feeling like she was breathlessly trauma dumping sharing her innermost thoughts. 
 
Have a nice day! 

"I've been coverin' Joni and dancin' with Joan, Stevie's callin' on the telephone" always made my skin crawl

No i'm a GPSOTSOMFWHDSF apologist. They constantly berated her for being a "middle-aged white woman" online and she clapped back. Trust me I cringed the entirety of the QFTC debacle but I stand with this lyric.  

THE LENTIL SOUP ABSOLUTELY NOT.. THESE PEOPLE NEED NANNIES NOT AN ECHO CHAMBER  
 
Keep the screenshots coming babes

Can we lump discord in too bc the 12 yr olds who populate the "official" Lana server are so funny 
 

So I found this and I'm just like  Puts a new spin on the album.  At least for me.  Now I'm going to go re-listen to it! Eeeeeeeeee! 
 

me neither, but I think the part that gives 'not like the other girls' vibes is the second part of the chorus: 'girls, they never befriend me 'cause I fall asleep when they speak of all the calories they eat' just comes across as if marina is 'above' that kind of thing, but I think it's just conveyed badly and she meant it more I wish women could talk about anything else instead of talking about diets.
 
to me it really encapsulates the late 2000s (she wrote it in 2008, a year after britney's breakdown) especially with the second verse: 'all the journos in heat write such good stories, oh their mothers must be proud, making money off your insecurity and doubt'. and it still holds relevance now, and the pre-chorus 'never meant to look a day past 30' still hits, especially when you see women past the age of 25 on social media just existing and all the comments are like 'omg you're 25???? you look so good!!' as if you disintegrate into dust past the age of 20

Her indie pop fake Katy Perry and lady caca don’t make real music era 

I agree, it definitely calls out gender roles in society. “Of all the calories they [girls] eat” is a clear example especially for the time it was created. TFJ came out in 2010 which during that time, the 90’s supermodel body was still in. In the 2000’s many women developed eating disorders and suffered in silence and Girls touches on that subtly. 

Unpopular opinion but I never understood the hate for ‘girls,’  it always came across to me as critique on society and gender roles rather than anything to do with actual gender… it’s sad to see marina herself turn on it too
 

edit. i see people say it’s the ultimate ‘I’m not like other girls’ song but I’m positive every girl in western world can relate to at least part of what she’s feeling in this song. 

the way this is actually the truest thing ive ever seen in this thread ur so right 

lmaoooooooo this sent me
i think this applies to majority of us in this thread 

keep it! you're not a marina fan but a marina and the diamonds fan

it’s been 2 months since her last poem, not sure if I’m glad or not…
 
I would like to see her thrive again even if this thread seems like I don’t. her last poem was better than the first though still had flaws, and she’s always picked questionable singles so I thought this might be the case with her poetry too. 
 
I think she’s just living an LA life and trampling wildflowers and not caring (yes she said there was a patch of dirt but that was probably made by previous visitors trampling the flowers for Instagram)

her poems are way better than new america orange trees shit anyway, sis just needs to remind herself what proofreading is
