Poison Ivy

UV is more than being ultraviolent.
At the beginning, Lana introduces us to her dark past. She was filled with poison like drugs and alcohol.
 
Nevertheless, Jim liked her ("blessed with beauty"). Him hitting her might be a metaphor of him bringing her back to life ("Jim brought me back"). "And it felt like a kiss" shows she was not used to reality since she had been loathing it with drugs.
Lana experiences a collision of reality and fiction and this feels like extreme violence to her ("I can hear sirens"; "This is Ultraviolence").
 
"Jim raised me up" refers to him showing her her beauty and the beauty of the world.
 
Jim's effort of distractig her from drugs failed. She wants to go back, back to drugs when everything was simple. "Crying tears of gold, like Adam and Eve" displays her prediction. She is aware of her going back to her habits.
The last part fulfils her prophecy: Lana says good-bye with heartbreaking words.

the fact that you find it okay to joke about a massacre 

He used to call me DN
It stood for deadly nightshade
Cause I was filled with poison
But blessed with beauty and rage
Jim told me that he hit me and it felt like a kiss
Jim brought me back
Reminded me of when we were kids
 
[Chorus]
With his ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
 
He used to call me poison
Cause I was poison ivy
I could have died right there
Cause Jim was right beside me
Jim raised me up
He hurt me but it felt like true love
Jim taught me that
Loving him was never enough
 
With his ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
 
We can go back to New York
Cause loving you was really hard
We can go back to Woodstock
Where they don't know who we are
Heaven is on earth
I would do anything for you, babe
Blessed is this union
Crying tears of gold, like lemonade
 
[spoken]
I love you the first time
I love you the last time
Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines
Cause I'm your jazz singer
And you're my cult leader
I love you forever
I really love you forever
 
With his ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence.

It wouldn't surprise me. That plot sounds up her alley and she once posted on Facebook about another Brooke Shields film, The Blue Lagoon:

 
Note her use of the phrase "golden gods" which she uses in "West Coast".
 
Also, this is the poster/DVD cover artwork for The Blue Lagoon:

 
Tropico much?

About tthe overprice I was talking about the box tbh. About standard versions I just ignore their existence. Why buy a standard if the artist is someone you like? 
 
If you ask yourself why sales are going down the toilet you will understand that economically speaking U$ 18 for an album is expensive, specially in US where everything is so cheap.In Brazil everything is ridiculous expensive so I live out of reality in the sense I don't care about prices anymore.
 
If you take in count any album is just a copy of a master and a mass production object made in China you will also think U$18 is expensive. The cover or box is also a mass product made in China or Taiwan. In the sense probably doesn't cost more than U$ 1.00 per unite
 
Now why the industry doesn't sell more and gain the same amount with less expensive prices? No idea.
 
These days we have too many options I just bought 5 albums this past month. It's not just U$18 so...

Because Interscope didn't manage to ruin Lana's career yet. 
 
Azealia
They just don't release her album. Period. They are sitting in millions for almost 2 years it's a joke
 
Gaga
Artpop promo anyone? They also allowed her to do a duet with R Kelly...
 
M.I.A
I have the impression they signed her just to kill her career. It's what happens to intelligent artists who are political activists and end up for some odd reason signing with a US label
 
LANA
They let the midia burn her for months and months. Basically the promo she got was from DJ's and radio stations. Against Interscope will to kill careers, Lana survived and got bigger. How to manage a successful artist? Let's overprice her to death. 

Why is it so overpriced.

Awhhhh that's such a beautiful picture of Lana!
 
No comment on Kimye Nothing against them, just not a huge "reality tv" fan.

I was actually thinking of that. I like being on the sides because you get a full view from an angle and the scope of the view seems to be better. I've been to shows in the past where I was front row to the side and it was a great view to be honest.

I didn't realize how absolutely insane her shows were until my friend in Chicago told me about her experience. Now I'm mildly mortified.
 
I'm going to be staying in Seattle the night before the show at a hotel across the street from the venue, and we had originally been planning to park my car at CenturyLink field around 8am and then wait outside the venue all day, but now I'm wondering if that's even early enough. My friend in Chicago said people camped out overnight. Then again, there are so many factors, and this show is on a Tuesday so it's an odd day, but still.
 
I am in a group of four— myself, my brother, and two girls. We ideally wanted to be close to the stage, so I was wondering how feasible this is and what it would take to get in and make it close to the front. Three of us have pre-sale tickets through Adventures In Wonderland, and the other girl has hers through Ticketmaster; not sure if that matters. I'm a 6'2" 23 year old male and my brother is a 6'3" 21 year old, but his girlfriend and my friend who are going are both petite 20 year old girls, so I'm wondering how that is going to fare. I'm not worried about being able to see since I'm so tall (and presumably taller than most the audience will be), but I'm wondering about them. As I said, we want to be close to the front.
 
The way you guys have described the pits at her concerts though reminds me of punk shows I've been to in the past, and the time I basically had to fight for my life during a Hole concert. It is awful and not fun and you barely can focus on the music because you're mostly just trying to stand up. That said, many of these experiences it seems have been told by younger women, and my friend in Chicago is a petite 5'1" female, so she ran into some trouble; I'm a pretty big guy though and so is my brother, so I don't get shoved around easily. I mean, a Hole concert is like the antithesis of a Lana Del Rey concert— at least I THOUGHT it was until I read horror stories on here.

"We were just in New York for Lady Gaga--"
"Amazing"
"It was--"
"That's so great"
*So Legit plays softly*

Omg interviewer: "We were just in New York for Lady Gaga"
 
Lana: "Amazing" you lying bitch

TRANSCRIPTION:
 
 

They can fuck off for that price, but its nicely designed.

The CD designs look gorgeously vintage. However, $100 for a CD, 2 vinyls, and some fucking pictures...   That should be maybe $60.

Nothin' more gorgeous over-priced than a $100 bill box set.

I kinda like it, she looks gorgeous. Tbh I'm glad it's not something try-hard like that cigarette pic, this one is simple but sort of nice.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? 
Just turn around and ask the person next to you or behind you to stop pushing ... kindly. I don't understand why its such a big deal. You guys are all there to see Lana and no one should be against each other. You don't need to 'put your feet on the fence and push back as hard as you can'... you're just disturbing everyone around you as much as they are disturbing you. Be kind and if someone is being a huge asshole, just tell security. Come on guyss don't be so childish. 

the cover is so beautiful. very simple, but somehow nuanced in terms of elegance
 
might be the most gorgeous i've ever seen her look 

I really like this interview, it feels honest rather than a lot of pretentious stuff that used to come out of other ones. I think she sounds good on paper for the first time in a long time! It's interesting    that teacher is so inappropriate tbh but 'is it wrong???' 
 
 "I'm not a provocateur. I love to write. The written word is one of the last forms of magic we have. I love rhyming and writing. For years my focus was on building a beautiful visual world and beautiful sonic world and yeah, having such a strong reaction was ... surprising? I don't know." - that's why I don't have much love for pepsi cola pussy/fucked my way to the top, I understand the song will probably be a fuck you to the critics or whatever, but it's not Lana.  Also I really like what she says about writing "It's this feeling that comes over you, like falling in love," it's true. 

That line is sorta fitting since Tommy admitted to being really controlling and emotionally abusive to Mariah. Not to mention Mariah was basically a teenager when they met
 
hit me my darlin tonight
    Anyway I loved Glitter   

omg i'm sorry for telling you to stfu before lol  
 
this means it's coming soon?!! (before her next show?)
 
  She sang lyrics before the ohhss. It sounds so beautiful, like a christian song or something pure? 

Just a bunch oohing for 15 seconds, no idea why people are screaming.
