They're not leaked and probably won't ever leak.

I just had a first listen and I immediately love the song. For comparison, when I first heard Hunger (one of my favourite FATM songs of all time) I woke up to listen to it and like "um whatever" and fell back asleep. It grew on me, whereas this really hit me with the impact of hearing album v. Patricia first time. And for reference, I'm firmly in the HBHBHB and HAH being her best and most cohesive albums.
The song feels like a perfect bridging between the discography - it starts with the stripped-back HAH, before moving to HBHBHB grandness and then finally finishing with those delicate guitars and harp that what made FATM's unique sound (I feel like harp is the soul of FATM but I am still recovering for the lack of it on HBHBHB). I love the drum strikes on "KING" and then the bridge the drop has everything going for it. Her vocal delivery is nuanaced and then powerful, and the beat is so fabulously full of tension. 
The lyrics are brilliant too, I haven't had time to properly process them but they seem fiercely self-empowering and also deeply introspective. Two parts jumped out are the sections where she sang about needing to be wearing a costume to feel like someone ("I was never as good as I thought I was"), and then needing props (a bloody sword, golden crown and an empty house for her mythology). It really feels like a reiteration that people can be themselves and have full creative lives without needing to stand behind a man. It ties in really nicely to the video too, especially of the floating musicians - symbolically perhaps of her among the male dominated field which she is taking charge of? 
Now the VIDEO - one of my favourites for sure. It has the mythological vibe, evoking her as Lamiae and devouring foolish men who think they can dominate her. I am loving her collaborations with INCREDIBLE choreographers - Ryan Heffington has done so much iconic work and it's so much better than just flouncing around hoping for the best like other artists sometimes do. When Florence did Lover to Lover it was a huge departure from flashy costumes and faux-drama - comparing this video to Never Let Me Go is like night and day. It feels like 'grown up' Florence, not suffocating under drama but presenting interesting ideas but still with a flair of theatricality. As a side note I dind't really like Autumn de Wilde's work on Emma but I think it's so important that women were in charge of this project, and the collaboration here is outstanding since the results and fucking awesome!!!
I'm so excited for the new album! I don't want to bring Lana into this so I will just say I can't wait to hear Jack return to the kind of flawless work that was Masseduction. 
I AM KING

Hoping for a Ceausescu style ending for Putin, seriously
His people overwhelmingly seem angry as fuck about this. 
It's just so sickening and I am still just really shellshocked despite being 13,000 kms away or something. I can't imagine how people in Ukraine feel.
ETA my friend in Kyiv just put up pics of her and her sister in a bomb shelter cuddling their cats and I just crumbled. This is so horrible

"DM me when you get the blues"

But that's what it really is

Should’ve kept “you give me my white lines” in Ultraviolence instead of “comprende mi white lines” cause what the fuck does that even mean

But killing someone with kerosene is more fun?

For when you are crazy, I'll let you be bad
I'll never dare change thee to what you are not

no, don’t do that. Don’t use ‘thee’ just because it rhymes, it’s cringe, nobody says that. It would have been totally ok not rhyming. 
 

delete

i'm gonna say this again just bc i feel like being annoying but it should been "be a gentlemen...pick me up again" instead of "pick me up atHEIUGGHT"

i hate her for taking the "for amy and for whitney" out of get free, muffling the "told by the fake news" part on WTWWAWWKD and not using her little vocal riffs at the end of chemtrails title track

aaaaahhhh omg okay so im glad this topic exists !!! i think about this a lot for some reason?? just tiny lil tweaks id make if i could to "improve" the lyrics idk cause every now and then a lyric will really bug me 
 
from Text Book - "It seemed only appropriate you'd defend when they attack", because i hate how she rhymes "back" with "back" 
 
from Freak - "Looking back at my past it's even stranger than your danger", because "stranger than a stranger" is terrible but also i feel like this lyric tweak would reflect the idea that lana's past (or the narrator's past in general) was wild enough that she's not scared of anything anymore, yknow??
 
from Nectar of the Gods - "I get wild on you baby, I get wild and fucking crazy as the sky is blue" because the colour blue isn't crazy at all?? the original is such a weird lyric?? so the only way i can think to make it work would be to make it "crazy as the sky is blue", bc the sky sure is blue so that must mean she sure is crazy, right??
 
from Honeymoon - "Or whatever you wanna do, no Gods no rules" just because I find the lyric "we make the rules" a bit cringe and juvenile for some reason 

this was always my destiny!! 

Thank you for making reports, it's really useful as clearly this thread has had a lot of traction overnight.

the madness of it all. 

plus the same user also posted the status update about prep+

Yes, I admire that!

When I went there, we were all warned by our company not to make any negative remarks about Putin or the Russian govt, either in person or on our socials. You can get into big trouble so it is incredibly brave of Russians to go out and protest. They know very well there will be consequences and they're still doing it. Best wishes to all of them. 

There are a few different versions of it; I can see what you mean about the leaked version sounding more HAHy - but the song is in fact HBHBHB, and simply went through a process from demo to 'final' 

I was waiting to crack this out in another simulator (cc: @the ocean) but the scandal here was too great 

This is TOO MUCH. I'm also in

@the ocean this is probably the most complete list so far that you can integrate into yours. Since @Davis hasn't visited since 2012 I will add a final list into the top page for reference.
