Dark Angel

i personally think it's giving @MaskQueRaid

it's not that deep

people here are losing their shit over lana singing about her family as if songs like there's nothing to be sorry about, my momma, aviation, old money, motel 6, radio, ride, cola, is this happiness, etc. all songs that mention or discuss her family, especially her dad...

i'm a margaret truther, i just know it's going to be a cute, bombastic track which will be hated at first, but will receive her flowers later on when people realize it's a banger

why does this forum still have such a hate-boner for "moms" or middle-aged women?

honestly this is so wholesome lana's dad is such an icon also, i love the track titles for this album, they're gorgeous

thanks for sharing this, i absolutely love these kinds of complex personality tests but i always had a hard time trying to find them through google

in the air tonight by phil collins is boring as hell

a lot of people say that "into dust" is a very sad song, but i personally don't think it's sad at all, obviously we all interpret music in our own ways, but to me, into dust is peaceful, yet eerie, if anything, but i love that song, it really is one of their best songs on that note, i don't interpret "fade into you" as sad either, it does feel melancholic, but i feel like there's a difference between something being sad and melancholic, oh say can you see is melancholic, but it's certainly not sad, fade into you sounds like a happy, sunny, summer day to me, but lyrically, i can see how people find it to be sad some mazzy star songs that i feel like are more outwardly "sad" to me are "before i sleep" and "sparrow", before i sleep makes me feel quite nostalgic, nostalgic in the way that disrupts your soul a little bit, because it reminds you of distant memories of younger, simpler days, that you know you can't ever go back to, but you're going to try so hard to grasp it inside of your soul, sparrow is a melancholic track, it's pretty, mellow, and gentle, so i guess it tugs at your heartstrings a little more

i'm never going to be able to listen to venice bitch again without thinking of this like how it sounds like she's saying "radio up my ass" when she's saying "radio blares" in burning desire

this would be especially camp considering the fact that the lyric is wrong (i'm a gangster action king truther!)

my favorite lyrics from each track <3 kill kill: love you, i do, stay here, i won't, the stars fade from your eyes queen of the gas station: look at your smokin' in them neon lights, under the thunder, yo, you look so nice oh say can you see: the sway of the hips and arms, will cradle you from afar, they swing 'til you're tired and send you to mars, nighttime is almost ours gramma (blue ribbon sparkler trailer heaven): A.M.E.R.I.C.A, all i wanna do is play for k, pt. 2: the way your face is shaped, i wonder if you know? the way you stand up and your silhouette glows, i'm electrified, i'll be up all night, now jump: hair thin and in the wind, cadillac convertible with him, hot-shot at 2A.M, you got a grin of a very old man mermaid motel: maybe we could go to coney island, maybe i could sing the national anthem, wear a white sweater for the last white day of the summer, buy my purple wig for my mermaid video, walk back to where i live in the motel on neptune avenue raise me up (mississippi south): it's the voodoo mississippi south, 69 million stars, birds are flyin' out of my mouth, spirits creepin' in my yard, hold my head, it's tilting back, something's dancing me around, putting crystals on my neck, lifting my feet off the ground pawn shop blues: in the name of higher consciousness, i let the best man i know go, 'cause it's nice to love, and be loved, but it's better to know all you can know, said it's nice to love, and be loved, but i'd rather know what god knows brite lites: the film is fading, look at me put me in a movie: lights, camera, acción, you know i can't make it on my own smarty: do i make you feel like christmas-time? put me in a party dress one time, love me 'til i see the sunshine yayo: hello, heaven, you are tunnel lined with yellow lights on a dark night

white dress vs. swan song

A&W > venice bitch

same! the acoustic guitars in the first half really remind me of kurt cobain's acoustic demos

which is fascinating because A&W feels SO visual to me... when i listen to it, i imagine dark, seedy settings, smoke, fog, streetlights, but it is generally a dark, almost maroon-type of red, it makes you think of somebody's very distant, past memories of being young, like i imagine a young girl in a dark room sitting close to a television screen when the second verse comes around, it's strange, liminal spaces, it's a slight, eerie chill when you're driving fast on the highway and watching all of the articifial lights zipping by, it's just such a great song oh my god

i know some have speculated that "jimmy" is referring to herself, but i'm speculating that "jimmy" could possible be alcohol? there's many theories about what the track "ultraviolence" is about (the theory that it is about the source family cult is my favorite) some have speculated that ultraviolence is about alcohol, in fact, somebody that lana knew personally even said it themselves that the "jim" she mentions in her songs is alcohol (also there's a chance she actually met him way before 2014 because he was friends with reeve carney, somebody who also knew lana in 2007, the song jimmy gnecco from 2007... etc.) it's possible that A&W is primarily about her youth, and as we all know, she suffered from alcoholism when she was a teenager which resulted in her being put into a boarding school, and i think it's easy to assume now that being put into this boarding school was probably a very negative experience for her "jimmy only love me when he wanna get high" could reflect the idea that drinking was only fun/enjoyable when it was something done with other people, or for the purpose of escapism, similar to somebody getting high, drinking only "benefitted" her when it was a way to have fun or to escape, this really reminds me of "get drunk" some of the lyrics share this concept of alcohol being something enjoyable even if it's obvious that it's very destructive "it's gonna be a ball" "this time it will be fun" "your mom called, i told her, you're fucking up big time" as a young teen, drinking was obviously a bad choice, especially since she got addicted to it, she's saying this as if it's somebody else who's aware she's addicted to alcohol and that she's messing up herself and her life "jimmy, if you leave the house, find me in the club" obviously, a club would be a place where somebody would drink alcohol, especially socially and as a way to have fun and let loose the second part of the song is a lot more energetic compared to the first part, but there's still a lot of sketchiness underlying the beats and lana's catchy delivery, because even if she's taking about love, light, getting high, it's not out of a place of having pure, delightful fun, or feeling content inside, it's coming from a place of pain and self-destruction, it's almost as if all of the events or feelings she described in the first half resulted in her addiction(s), which would lead into the following years of her life and career

i haven't been very active in this thread, but i just wanted to express my thoughts on A&W, firstly, this song is most definitely already one of my favorite lana songs of all-time, it is INCREDIBLE, it is dark, complex, psychedelic, 5+ minutes long, abstract, yet specifically honest, it's insane, it's something we haven't heard yet from lana at all, there are so many things i love about it, it feels like every other past album, song, and period of lana's artistry has led up to this particular song/moment in her discography, we couldn't have this track without all of the others which came before it, A&W is very revealing, yet still keeps it abstract, and wondering more about her past and her history, that's what is amazing about lana is that we know so much about her, yet she is still so mysterious and elusive, there's so many questions you'll still have after listening to this track if i'm correct, i believe the pitchfork review of this track described the second part of the song as a feeling of accepting yourself as an outcast, and i've been holding onto that, because this track is so eerie, it's not just a song detailing her frustrations and her troubles throughout her life, it feels dirty, there's a taboo undertone lingering in the energy of this song, there's a very subtle, yet palatable essence of horror and despair in this track which makes it so much more rich and more of an experience, i feel like i can relate to the grimy chaos in this track, but also the parts of this track that feel more careless and almost ironically enjoying and embracing the mess and the chaos, because if you've dealt with complicated, strange experiences, or are just a complicated, strange person, you probably feel like, or even know, that that will never change, so you just have to face the darkest parts of yourself, and try your best to view them as something that is beautiful, something that makes you who you are, and sometimes, that's how you survive

i can't wait to see it!

cinnamon girl vs. never let me go

what's the unobstructed version?

i doubt that lana even remembers much about this era to be honest
