I get this because I also engage in continuous sardonic self-parody while remaining entirely sincere

You ppl can laugh but this honestly makes me kind of mad

This is incorrect because 1970-1980 was the Bowie era

because lbr it's better than the other albums released this year

STAR TOURS STARLINE TOURS looking for love in Alderaan places Just like how Kylo Ren is named after Rilo Kiley obviously our world is nothing but priests and acolytes the best part is if you search for "rey" on google images you always get the other one; their synthesis in the zeitgeist is complete already

Did TLY anticipate Bowie's new genre shift to brooding future jazz and the title of his new album, Blackstar Line Tours? Finger on the pulse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSt9RDIIa0k

You should learn not to take obvious jokes seriously

Not Pitchfork falling for her blatant commercial sellout track over her indie masterpieces

Yes! "Yellow lies" as in "yellow journalism" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism This being the "they" who destroy her

Both what L says and her parenthetical seem correct at the same time -- just as Lizzy insists Lana is her, Bowie, surprisingly never called the Thin White Duke a persona at the time -- only later was it redefined as an old mask that was discarded: http://www.bowiegoldenyears.com/articles/760427-circus.html

"Completely enthralled with life" Yeah because she's such a fountain of joy

^^ The squid attack tabloid story would've made for a better video tbh Every time I turn on my Fire I see this

So does "Kill V. Maim" share DNA with "Jealous Girl"? What is the Lanaboards consensus here?

Perhaps she is really Mark Mahoney in the "Shades of Cool" video and not the girl

pretty much this congrats lana the book worked @@litewave will appreciate some Jungian interpretation where a man named "Self" invades the hermetically-sealed walls of her Tower

It's like a Jungian nightmare

Did she release this entirely for Daniel Johnston

Read Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, and it's all there ... but having known some little part of what God knows, I would rather just love and be loved.

"Yayo, it's a fundamental moment of my life. An epiphany. My first video...very funny." See: http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/929-the-paradise-and-the-esoteric-origin-of-mankind/page-3&do=findComment&comment=186150 At the core of her being as the nucleus of a Star is her unrealized Self as God; a God surrounded by poison, deadly nightshade and darkness (the gargoyles) ... undeterred, she as the Mystic dives deep within her own depths. Alchemically speaking, there is a Death that must precede new life; a suicide wherein the old egoic self is sacrificed in the fire at the altar of the Self--"through the fire we're born again." "I'd rather know what God knows." The great turning in the life of the Soul is to repent from the world and works of the flesh to deliberately seek for God, which is the real basis of her work; it is the anguish of the seeker Knocking on Heaven's Door. She here defines herself as among the race of Seers who have seen the light of noetic consciousness within the divine Spark within themselves, and thus united with the Great Goddess who is the ultimate ground of being. This is defined by a "leap" or "JUMP" over the Abyss that separates human from Divine consciousness; the ultimate test of Faith in which the Darkness is embraced in order to find the true light within; the palm trees of Paradise. As you note, she has switched viewpoints here; she is no longer the mortal looking upward but the Great Goddess looking downward, imploring her son as Adamic Man to follow in her Path ("put your white tennis shoes on and follow me") -- to wage the war of Greater Jihad within the soul. So, is she "Jesus"? Yes, in the sense that all who follow her Way become one in the mystical body of the Gnostic Christ (or, the Cup of Babalon for the Thelemites). I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul. In her current silence, she has given us all an ultimatum. From the Still Point at the center, there is only the Goddess and the boys that eternally leave and draw toward Her. "Lies can buy eternity"

She says what the song's about in the song itself: I'M THE QUEEN OF ALCHEMY. Mystical, not literal death; read Jung and so on. The Jesus Mysteries.

I dunno, like God or something, but a lady http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/3823-tropico-analysis/page-7&do=findComment&comment=152372
