Philomene

Personally I imagine a latin Carmen/Lolita character in a movie 

Real talk though I don't think I've ever heard her being this happy and satisfied, she seems extremely proud but in a much more serene way than for UV, she seems to work had on a lot of things and she seems in a good place, she's reclaiming herself unapologetically, I really love to believe she's never been that happy

She didn't mention Gatsby either.

she is going to London, I hope she does a radio 1 live lounge. 

you slut

I want this to leak so badly right now. Ughhhh

Ultraviolence:
 
I used to be a member of an underground sect which was reigned by a guru. He surrounded himself with young girls and he had this insane charisma I couldn’t resist as well. So I was in this, I’ll call it sect, because I was longing for love and security. But then I found out that this guru wasn’t a good but a bad person. He thought that he had to break people first before he could build them up again. At the end I left the sect.
 
No, “Ultraviolence” look back on my time in New York. I was for a while part of a sloping underground scene, which was dominated by a guru. He believed in the concept, finished close people first and then rebuild. I fell for him because that time I longed for security.
 
The lyrics also mention a “cult leader,” and Ms. Del Rey said the song looked back to a time soon after she moved to New York City, when she considered following a guru who “believed in breaking you down to build you back up again.” “It sounds kind of weird,” she added, “but that is what it’s about, and having romantic feelings entwined with the idea of being led and letting go and surrendering. That’s always a concept to me, like I’m wavering between independence and falling into lifestyles and being led.”
 
There are so many things, really. I guess one of them is a personal experience I had with a person who believed in breaking you down to build you back up again. And although that mindset didn’t really agree with me, there was something freeing in letting go, for me, [with] this particular sort of guru-esque character. It’s a little bit about being in love with the act of surrendering, about being confused whether that’s a good idea.
 
 I think searching for guidance is a constant theme in my life. I knew relatively early on who I was. But I did not know exactly what I wanted to do. And I was always looking for people who are like me. So, I went at the age of 18 to New York. I was looking for this cool artist group, but I didn't find it. But I found someone who was like me. It was very interesting for me, we had a special relationship. He had built up a group that followed him. In the end, it wasn't right for me. 
 
The lyrics to UV make sense in this context. We have a guru (the "cult leader") who believes in breaking you down to build you back up again. Lana was in love with the idea of surrendering, and so him breaking her down felt like an act of kindness, especially since she felt lost at this time: "He hit me and it felt like a kiss." After the break down comes the reconstruction: "Jim raised me up, he hurt me but it felt like true love." However, Lana ultimately knew this wasn't right for her. "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough." The song seems to be a reminiscence, since Lana says this song is about her time when she was 18 in New York and the bridge says "we could go back to New York." She adds that "loving you was really hard." She says he "used to" call her DN and poison ivy, so she's singing in the present. The "I was filled with poison but blessed with beauty and rage/Jim taught me that" line seems very cultlike. One of the things cult leaders do is make you believe that there's some incredible thing waiting to be unlocked but that normally you can't access it. Of course, the cult leader can access it and that's why you should follow him and trust him. Jim "taught her" that she was "filled with poison" and he called her "poison." Not very positive things to say.
 
The nature of this relationship is unclear. She says it was a "sect-like" thing and refers to him as "guru-esque," so she doesn't think it was a straight up cult. She calls their relationship a "special relationship," but that can mean anything. One of her comments was about "having romantic feelings entwined with the idea of being led and letting go and surrendering." I'm not sure if "romantic feelings" refers to the guru or to the idea of surrendering. This whole thing would have happened in 2003, before she would have recorded Sirens! It's before any boyfriends we know of, too.
 
With this in mind, I wonder if Cruel World is also about this guru. "Shared my body and my mind with you" would be very appropriate for a cult leader. Cruel World is very unspecific. All we know about this guy is he had a lot of women, a bible and a gun, and he used heroin.

this.
 
pls lana, even though the filters sometimes (National Anthem, SS, the homemade ones) add a different vibe to the video, most of the time it just makes all the colors ugly and the whole video looks really cheap and meh (Ultraviolence, HBTB, Honeymoon Sampler,  etc)

if that colourful 50s, pink flamingo, summer type of look is in the video like that concept board suggests, i will fucking die.
 
give us just one super slick, ultra glam video this era lana yessssss x

yaaaas! porn again, yaaaas!!!!

When the chorus of Freak kicked in 

#exposed

I wouldn't even say almost tbh. We've had so much porn on the site lately I'm scared to be reading threads when other people are in the room 

I don't get why u all are so pressed with her.
You act like little monsters when Gaga used to be IN and Nicki and Katy 'copied' her...
Just don't pay attention to her.
Let's be real. At this moment she is at her peak and she is playing little god, but you will see how low she will fall soon. It already started.
So please stop polluting this ALMOST pure forum with threads about this person cuz before I used to give -10fucks for her and now it's -8.

Drag her down lmao

Y'all better add stars between the letters of her name before the FBI arrests you. T*ylor doesn't play around.

I hate how much Taylor copies Lana, it's disgusting

Didn't we suspect that Taylor's Lucky One was about Lana?????

A Good Thread ... see also "The Lucky One"
 

 
Taylor has to always be the Prettiest Girl in School and she steals anything to get there, since to her it is all simply another trendy fashion accessory

and you didn't even mention that after lana's "ride" she chose that same video director, anthony mandler, and REEVE CARNEY as her bad boy paramour for her "i knew you were trouble"
i suspected lana's influence, but you've made it clear she is a total copycat @@PARADIXO she is so fake...i can't believe people buy her persona!  

She's a really successful artist with tons of smash hits, but "22" failed to be 2013's summer anthem.
 

 
Is her "I Knew You Were Trouble" lover channeling Bradley Soileau?
 

 

 

 
In "Bad Blood", everything is super futuristic but they end up fighting with their hands, just like we all did when we were kids! Real futuretro.
