Lana Del Rey - Oh Say Can You See

flipside vs. honeymoon

violets for roses ---> you made me trade my violets for roses v honeymoon ---> there are violets in your eyes, there are guns that blaze around you, there are roses in between my thighs v kinda outta luck ---> is it wrong, wrong that i think it's kind of fun, when i hit you in the back of the head with a gun? queen of hearts ---> sad girl

TV in black and white ---> heaven hasn't forgotten about you v you and me ---> give heaven a try // sick as fuck and sellin' yay', diamonds and gettin' blazed v fine china ---> i wore diamonds for the birth of your baby, for the birth of your son v let me love you like a woman ---> let me love you like a woman, like me hold you like a baby mermaid motel ---> put your lips together

we will never forget when @Mer and i got into an argument about jada pinkett smith's bald head <3

as somebody who's heavily suspecting they have autism... autistic people do not just accidentally do nazi salutes out of clumsiness autistic people really are not as dumb, unaware, or naive as they're made out to be

peppers ---> baby, i'll bring the coffee, if you bring the wine v queen of the gas station ---> gimme coffee, utah love // look at you smokin' in them neon lights v catch and release ---> 'cause i'm just like neon, lighting up your night // you lured me in with all of your gold v back to the basics ---> trailer park love, wearin' them ASICS and gold EDIT: WRONG SONG oops mariner's apartment complex ---> carmen

i'm sorry, but when you label yourself on your profile as the largest fan of an artist who has been accused of rape while hammering in on lana's supposedly fucked up actions, you really can't act surprised when people bring it up

i just don't really understand how you've made numerous posts discussing how lana's done terrible things (most of which really ARE NOT compared to what many other celebrities have done, like let's be for real) but haven't made any effort to do the same for someone who's accused of rape, no, it doesn't necessarily absolve lana of her questionable actions, but i find it hypocritical for you to be criticizing lana for ultimately minor things in the grand scheme of things when somebody you're (mostly) silent about regarding questionable actions has been accused of rape, one of the most evil things you could do to someone

her saying beat me and tell me that no one will love me better than you do doesn't automatically mean she's accepting of domestic abuse, especially since it's about HER being abused, if anything, i feel like one would be more sympathetic that she might feel that way, or be in that situation, same with he hit me and it felt like a kiss, which references a song featuring very similar lyrics to the aforementioned smarty lyrics, a song sung by a woman trying to justify somebody abusing her, if she were singing about abusing someone, it might be different, and could be indicative of who she might be like as a person, but people should be allowed to express shocking, dark, and sometimes troubling things in their art, trying to stifle that, control that, or make it some sort of moral issue just limits what people can express artistically, which i find to be a terrible thing for art, and, honestly, lana's music really isn't that dark compared to some other artists, ethel cain's first album is literally about a girl being kidnapped, prostituted, murdered, and cannibalized, does ethel cain making an entire album about that make her immoral? and if lana's wrong for singing about abuse, why should ethel cain get a pass for making an album about something so harrowing? like i said before, listeners can decide what they do or do not feel comfortable listening to, and i'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to have opinions, or perhaps criticisms about lyrics, but i feel like there just isn't really a definitive answer as to what people should or should not say in their songs, and it's really just up to the listeners to decide what they want to listen to, the musicians creating the music and writing/singing the lyrics honestly aren't responsible for the feelings of random listeners who happen to come across their art, it's not their job to coddle or to be completely palatable for random people they don't know, if they don't want to and, also, i really don't mean to make it about you, but i just find it odd how you're sitting here talking about how lana's done so much fucked up shit, in your opinion, while openly stanning melanie martinez (your member tag is the #1 melanie martinez fan on lanaboards and you have a gif of her in your signature) someone accused of RAPE? sexually assaulting someone is 100x worse to me compared to someone making ignorant comments or marrying someone morally dubious, i just don't understand how you could look past that, right now she's literally under controversy again for a coloring book she made featuring very inappropriate depictions of children, which, again, i find to be unacceptable, and worse than questionable lyrics or ignorant statements

i disagree, i see nothing wrong with provocative/shocking lyrics, as long as they're done tactfully enough, it's obvious she's dealt with some bad, perhaps abusive relationships, perhaps was involved with some sort of cult, and hinted at possibly physical abuse from her mother my father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me so i feel nobody should dictate how she express her feelings regarding abuse, i do not find it immoral to talk about such heavy things like this, but i like dark, provocative art, to an extent, so that's just how i feel at the end of the day, listeners can decide what they do or do not feel comfortable listening to, but it isn't like her music is usually sunshine, puppies, and rainbows to begin with, she's said similarly provocative things in put me in a movie, ultraviolence, arguably beautiful player, and butterflies pt. 2 as a whole, not to mention all of the lolita references, and, again, i don't consider her immoral for being provocative, if anything, we can only speculate at the end of the day what she really means by what she says

i completely sympathize with her situation, and i wish her the best, but if she has the freedom, time, and ability to tweet and comment about it online, she has the freedom, time, and ability to actually do something productive about it like go to the police, or get a restraining order and before anyone says that going to the police won't solve anything (which i DO get, sometimes police can be unhelpful)... neither will randomly posting about it on social media
