To be fair these lyrics have an allusion to the cult classic film Fire Walk With Me which is my favorite movie of all time

 

EDIT: I think Lana’s lyricisms on her discography have never been too particularly strong. However, the atmosphere she creates within her music blends with her lyrics perfectly and her style of writing is really her own which is one of the many reasons we STAN

Yup, I totally agree with this! I don't hate the songs I posted about at all. Was just trying to point out that judging Lana songs solely based on lyricism is a futile task. She's no Joni Mitchell we're talking about here.

I also don't think dissing ultraviolence's lyrics is that productive (we've all heard old money)

 

but everyone hears a 30 second snippet and assumes they suck without hearing those lyrics in context. You can already tell California, the Greatest, Bartender, Love Song, etc. will have good lyrics. Whether or not you like Hope, amazing lyrics. She's serving female empowerment throughout without sounding gimmicky. The negativity on here is exhausting

It's not productive, but it still proves the same point. Mariners and hope both have great lyrics that are up to par with the better songs on Ultraviolence. It's the fact that people conveniently ignore that repetitive, lazy, crap on that album that people excuse for "emotional effect"

lana : "mmh yeah pink vape in my pocket i facetune us while we're fucking ugh uh uh yeah baby yes"

 

y'all : this is so genius honeslty her best lyrics you can feel that she poured her heart and soul into it and it definitely tops born to die & uv there's so much meaning to these couple of words as lana invites us in her intimacy there's also definitely something really intriguing about that aspect of her and

I fucked my way up to the top

This is my show

I fucked my way up to the top

Go, baby, go (Go, go, go, go, go)

This is my show (Go, go, go, go, go)

This is my show

I fucked my way up to the top

i always thought it was “makes me a sad, sad girl”

It is. I was just copy and pasted them

To be fair these lyrics have an allusion to the cult classic film Fire Walk With Me which is my favorite movie of all time

Fair enough, but that allusion still doesn't add up to me when "WE DESERVE AN ALBUM AS GOOD LYRICALLY AS ULTRAVIOLENCE WAHHHHH!"

I can't take the criticisms about her lyrics that seriously considering you all stan:

But you haven't seen my man

You haven't seen my man
You haven't seen my man
You haven't seen him

His Bonnie on the side, Bonnie on the side

Don't come through, babe, you never do
Because I'm pretty when I cry
I'm pretty when I cry
I'm pretty when I cry
I'm pretty when I cry

     

I just like.... it’s clear she’s not just accidentally pronouncing it that way. The whole vibe of that snippet is cheeky and silly. The background when she sings “put the radio on dancing to a pop song” is weird (in a good way). The way she pronounces it gives off the air of a silly lovestruck airhead which is like the whole Lizzy vibe. It all works.

 

Honestly y’all bitch about her not being Lizzy anymore and then she does something that is very reminiscent of the way Lizzy would have sang the song and it’s something you can’t possibly get past? Wild.

 

And she’s clearly saying fuck. Like you can hear the consonant.

 

ANTYWAYS.

Always gathering these rats 

Got my tickets via Stub Hub for the Jones Beach show. The total really wasn't all that bad, and I think my friend and I got great seats. Do you think it was worth paying the a higher price?

California is a perfect example of how different a song can be from the initial snippet you hear--everyone wasn't into it and bashed it to death and then they heard more and liked it a lot. So same could happen with FIILY. 

Yup, I knew that snippet would just be an intro or a bridge.

y’all really trashing FIILY already when you haven’t heard the full thing... the lack of TASTE, the lack of FLAVOUR! what happened to your taste buds?!!?

Watch some electric guitar drop and everyone suddenly says it's their fave

Dream setlist:

All of Honeymoon

Roses Bloom For You (extended outro so she can still do her front row routine and take pics with Win Edwards)

Same sis, same

I hate to say this but MAC, Hope and HTD seem to be the only lyrically strong NFR tracks. There's still a possibility the parts we haven't heard from the other songs will surprise us, but like... I'm sick of hoping. I'm tired of getting my hopes up just to be disappointed.

Nothing has struck me as being as bad (besides HIAB) as "ice cream, ice queen" yet, but VB is one of her most renowned songs to date

Tbh the part from the clip with the new lyrics has been stuck in my head all day and now I just need to hear the rest. I’m excited because it’s like a whole different mood than the other so we’ll have two different perspectives of the same song.

Exactly. I think she re-wrote the entire song, so i'm looking forward to what she does with it

Cruel World - 38 

Ultraviolence - 22 (-)
Shades of Cool - 50 (+)
West Coast - 37 
Pretty When You Cry - 47 
Black Beauty - 46

I officially love the BAR lyric change 

Wish she included Million Dollar Man, Without You, The Other Woman, Salvatore, GBA, WTWWAT, BPBP, TNC and Shades of Cool on the setlist

Idk what songs could be better at ruining my experience at a LDR concert

Jack better be going home tomorrow. Michie is a horrible human being as well, but I think i can handle having him in the house. Jack is a devil

Oh wow oh wow

ideal setlist

 

 

1. Love Song (intro)

2. Born To Die

3. Cinnamon Girl

4. Cherry

5. Pretty When You Cry

6. Mariners Apartment Complex

7. West Coast

8. Love

9. Music To Watch Boys To

10. Norman Fucking Rockwell

11. Ride (new version from 2019)

12. Brooklyn Baby

13. The Greatest

Not gonna happen though

I'd love this, but Ride is so stale to me

I need Bartender NOW. 

Love Song, California and Bartender are going to send me into a spiral. I just know it. 

And she said it would also have a rock twist right? I can’t think of any fitting songs unless one of them explodes into something more.

 

Double album confirmed

Yeah, out of all the snippets I can see Bartender being more than a downtempo but we shall see! The Greatest, Bartender and Doin' Time are the three I would think of off the top of my head

yes!!

i could see it being for love song, or maybe even the title track (if the clips from the trailer aren't used for NFR aren't for an already filmed MV)

Maybe, but those songs are just so melancholic and so unlike the film "Grease." I'm definitely thinking The Greatest, or maybe she's filming a Doin' Time music video

What song do you think that casting call for a Lana music video is for? I can't imagine any of these songs having a "Grease" type of vibe besides maybe The Greatest? Maybe she hasn't filmed the double music video in its entirety yet? 

I REALLY hope she cracks the 80s on Metacritic and snatches that Best Alternative Album Grammy nomination (please Interscope, best Alternative, not AOTY)

Let's hope Happiness is a Butterfly with its lyrics and How to Disappear with its cheap beat don't ruin those chances for a high critic score

the chorus to Love Song and the California snippet in general triggered my depression
