Lana covering Mary Of Silence would blow my MIND !!!!!

I 100% thought this was about sex work when first reading these, especially the waiting for the sun (more night time work). She’s propositioning married men for sex night after night. Or whoever she’s narrating as. Who knows tho

It was the summer of 2011, I was in Colombia visiting my family and some spanish music tv station played the video games music video. I remember listening to it and thinking I had never heard of music like this and I loved it, I made it a point to look her up later but I forgot. Then in 2012, a friend asked me if I knew about lana and played born to die and video games and I was like oh yeah!! I forgot about her. and by the time 2013 young and beautiful happened, I was hooked.

"dream a little dream of me
make me into something sweet "
 
!!!!! make the feelings of loneliness and depression into something more palatable and sweet, something that feels like a dream, and doesn't feel dark and hopeless. make than happen in the form of becoming a star, embodying the history of every single famous woman in the past, becoming adored. 
 
"and you know everyone adores you"
 
you know everyone is buying into your diet mountain dew new york city 
 
"but you can feel it and you're tired" - referencing The Greatest (maybe i'm burned out after all).
 
It gets tiring to be Carmen, and not Elizabeth Grant. 

lana changing "you did it all for fame" to "we did it all for fame" in BAR just acknowledges her own ego fueled (but perfectly human and natural) journey to want this Hollywood success to feel something. yeah,  a vague song about an ex lover who thought he was norman fuckin rockwell who wanted to write the best american record is a big fuck you to him and a fun song, but a song acknowledging both your ex partner's AND your own flaws and obsession with wanting to be iconic and adored????? !!!!!!! SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS SELF AWARE AND EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT TO GET HER COINS AND STREAMS BUT SHE DID IT ANYWAY!!!

Agreed - Rock Candy Sweet could well be a sarcastic title - and I'd love her to make a song like "Brooklyn Baby" as imo it's such a great jab at the critics. I just hope she nails it if she's going for this revenge plot - RCS will be the Ultraviolence re-up! (I hope)

She needs to give us Cola’s sexy MILF older sister song and really tell us some more about her pussy. 
 
let us know that there’s some WHORES in this COUNTRY CLUB

the lyrics of white dress of her reminiscing about before she was famous and just starting out reminds me of this sad and haunting excerpt from valley of the dolls, 
 
“You’ve got to climb to the top of Mount Everest
to reach the Valley of the Dolls.
It’s a brutal climb to reach that peak, 
which so few have seen.
You never knew what was really up there, 
but the last thing you expected to find
was the Valley of the Dolls.
You stand there, waiting for
the rush of exhilaration
you’d thought you’d feel - but
it doesn’t come.
You’re too far away to hear the applause
and take your bows.
And there’s no place left to climb.
You’re alone, and
the feeling of loneliness is overpowering.
The air is so thin you can scarcely breathe.
You’ve made it - and the world says 
you’re a hero.
But it was more fun at the bottom
when you started,
with nothing more than hope and 
the dream of fulfillment.
All you saw was the top of that mountain - 
there was no one to tell you
about the Valley of the Dolls.
But it’s different
when you reach the summit.
The elements have left you battered, 
deafened, sightless - and too weary
to enjoy your victory.”

Vaping sound on white dress. 
Talking and someone said cat meows? on TJF. 
Any other little quirks on other songs? I haven’t heard any yet but I also haven’t had proper time to really dive deep into this album. 

there's 100% a Minecraft spider sample in NAWWAL and I can't unhear it 

ma'am/sir why aren't you twerking to "washing my hair doing the lauuu(ndry)"?

ok y'all but we need pics    these all sound so cool, I wanna see what my dumb ass is missing out on by having collected very little 

me doing a full on investigation to see if i recognize lana after yall said it was a double

who else LOVES that shes actually using her speaking voice and you can hear her EMOTE instead of her marilyn monroe slow hollywood talk she tried so hard to do for so long. the facade has been wearing on her and I bet it felt refreshing for her to speak in her own voice
