    BTD reminds me of being a cirngey 13 year old and thinking I could relate to the lyrics, so for that reason I can’t listen to it. But it’s not that it aged, i did lol

    What are you even talking about?
    Weird. Not bad. Weird. And here's why I said that:
    If you're gonna try to come for me then please don't take stuff out of context to do it. Thank YOU.

    Diamonds for the birth of your son... I really can't imagine Lana writing this about a personal situation, it's got to be intended for a movie or something :/

    We're not really going to pretend that this isn't another "I'm not racist" thing, are we?
    I mean it's par for the course if you continue to stan, but that's what this is. Just last week this same sis posted her album cover, ran to the comments to let everyone know how she's inclusive and not racist she is, and then more or less said in her follow-up interview that that's why she picked it.
    She did the same thing after QftC posting protesters, etc. Throwback to when Kehlani yelled at her for posting their faces

    PARADIXO's 'Chemtrails over the Country Club' analysis
     
    So, as LDR said, this album is very inspired by her family and friends. The release of Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass opened to us yet another door to her past: her childhood in Lake Placid and her troubled relationship with her upper-class family, especially her mother. Therefore, in order to understand pretty much everything from this album we have to see it from this point of view. In this song, we see both modern Lana and young Lizzy escaping out of the country club. Lizzy out of Lake Placid elite and LDR out of Los Angeles elite.
     
    The title alone evokes a sense of silent danger - she could see the evil in these people but couldn't say a thing. "Wearing our jewels in the swimming pool / Me and my sister just playing it cool / Under the chemtrails over the country club," perhaps this is a memory of her being close only to her sister Chuck. "I'm not unhinged or unhappy, I'm just wild" - As the introvert that she is, I imagine this as her in a family event or whatever, poker-faced and her parents being mad at her. "It's beautiful, I'll escape / Normality settles down over me / I'm not bored or unhappy / I'm still so strange and wild." Same situation, but this time I think it's more about her escaping Los Angeles cult-like elite. "I'm still so strange," nothing has changed, she's still the 'underdog' they turned her into back in the country club.
     
    Regarding the love-related lines in the lyrics, I can connect them to "Let Me Love You Like a Woman", which was about revisiting a lover from the past (at least metaphorically, as we're sure some songs from this album will be about Sean). Young Lizzy has met a guy she likes and she'll escape the club with him... and we know what happened later (which makes me excited for more revealing stuff on Behind the Iron Gates). "Well I don't care what they think / Drag racing my little red sports car." Maybe they didn't like this guy or he wasn't part of their group. Then adult Lana meets a new lover who reminds her of this past love, but I like to think that she meets the very same guy (again, a metaphor) and they want to try it again now that they're free: "Late night to be, I want you holding me / Like when we were kids / Under chemtrails and country clubs," and then, "It's never too late, baby, so don't give up."
     
    The astonishing music video depicts all of this. The little girl, in my opinion, is her younger self. The scene where they're together is Lizzy alone in the mansion, and there she is an adult taking care of her (of herself) when nobody did. First we see Lana in the mirror dolling up herself and then the girl doing the same thing. We see very fast-paced images of Lana with a sad face, like she doesn't want to be there.
     
    She's escaping out of the country club in her car, and then she has an accident, that being a metaphor to life hitting her hard once she forced herself to become independent. She had to learn the tough way and became wild yet strong. She found her own group of family and friends, hence the wolf symbolism (Wolves are independent and solitary animals but also have an incredible skill to create and protect inseparable herds; Maybe the wolf is her spirit animal?).

    I’ve been a real grinch here, sorry about that. The release drama has soured things for me, but I’m sure I’ll be happy once it’s finally here. 
     
    1. Yosemite - I just imagine it being lyrically gorgeous 
    2. Tulsa Jesus Freak - it’s just such a creative title, but it’ll lose mad points if it’s super Jesusy 
    3. White dress/Waitress - makes me think it’s about her days as a waitressing Lizzy Grant who thought she’d marry Steve and I’m here for the nostalgia even if I’ve totally made that shit up. Plus it sounds like she went to some effort for the video.
    4. Dark but just a game - it gets a lot of points for being something I know nothing about with an interesting title
     5. Not all who wander are lost - I mean we’ve all seen this Tolkien quote a million times but it’ll be a fantastic song if she can do it justice 
    6. Wild at Heart - maybe it’s the next Ride, maybe it’s just her trying to convince us she’s differently spirited and cool again, who knows
    7. Chemtrails - it’s a cool song, and the video is fantastic. 
    8. dance til we die - just makes me think of  the unimpressive Lust for Life so I’m dubious 
    9. breaking up slowly - it’s nice. Not album nice, more like ‘hey blue baby’ nice. But maybe the studio version breathes some life into it. 
    10. LMLYLAW - lyrically and sonically ‘meh’, and the crappy video topped it all off 
    11. for free - we’ve heard it. We have it ??‍♀️

    have you tasted food? It’s delicious 
     
    also as a fellow 30-something, it gets harder and harder to stay small. Enjoy it while you can kids.

    'if you're a jerk and everybody tells you you're a jerk and you have no idea you're a jerk now we have to finally address this big issue in the world with what do we do with people hurting other people' and other general comments about delusions of grandeur etc.

    I just feel like it's LA celebrities in particular who are in this weird bubble and they tell you they know what's going on in the world...but they really don't? There's something about lviing in that place that makes them become these insufferable privileged supreme beings. Very weird.
     
    I'm going to boil her incoherent speech down to painkillers + morning brain fog.
