Baby, put on heart-shaped sunglasses
'cause we’re gonna take a ride.
I’m not gonna listen to what the past says,
I been waiting up all night.

"Darling, darling doesn't have a problem, lying to herself, cause her liquor's top shelf." - Carmen
 
And many more

Last Girl On Earth is very good, all those metaphors etc.
I also love the lyrics for Off To The Races, Shades Of Cool, Blue Jeans, Without You, Is This Happiness, Black Beauty, National Anthem and Money Power Glory alot. And lots of Sirens songs have good lyrics (however they lack interesting sound in return)

Tbh i kinda like the video. But now that Lana have posted the video on facebook we can be pretty sure it's the official one

How has no one mentioned her literal best song, melodically and lyrically and everythingally. 
 
IT'S LIKE A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE
THE BLACK & WHITE WAVES SPARKLIN TRULY
MY MAN LIKES TO WATCH ME WHILE I WATCH TV
WHILE HE'S T-T-TOUCHIN' ME
 
I REMEMBER VINTAGE GREEN WALLPAPER
YOUR CRIMINAL ARMS, I COULDN'T FEEL SAFER
 
BABY, YOU KNOW MOMMA NEVER HAD MUCH MONEY
BUT I PLAN ON USING THIS FACE TO PAY, HONEY
GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME, YOU'RE SO FUNNY
LOVE YOU TILL I DIE
 
BABY YOU NEVER KNOW TIL YOU TRY
BABY YOU NEVER LIVE TIL YOU DIE
BABY YOU NEVER LOVE TIL YOU'RE MINE
YOU'RE MINE, YOU'RE MINE
 

And in FMWUTTT she'll be sipping on Lorde's blood

The first pic reminds me of a Dolphin for some reason

 
Aww Lana U look so cute!

Someone posted this on youtube:
 
Thoughts ?

People obviously don't know what overrated means! How can carmen be overrated when all it gets is hate!!!! The same goes for Cola and Body Electric......
Also Carmen is obviously her best song lyrically (and sonically).....
 
But her most overrated is obviously Dark Paradise and Ride... Those are her worst released songs .... The lyrics are bad... The production is bad.... They are both the most pretentious songs ever and the fact that every review of Born To Die mentions DP as a fan favorite makes me want to cry....
 
Obviously

I think she might be combining people named jim/jimmy. The parts about it being a ~rough relationship~ = Jimmy Gnecco, the cult leader line = The AA guy, and the fact that Jim Jones is a famous cult leader = Icing on the cake. Everything she writes is personal, but that doesn't mean that she speaks straightforwardly about one situation for an entire song every time. All writers combine experiences and situations to create songs or stories.

Wouldn't the perfect rerelease be Kill Kill????!!!!
ULTRAVIOLENCE = Kill Kill, both names fit so well, and Omg I might cry if this happened, imagine
ULTRAVIOLENCE With:
 
Kill Kill
Pawn Shop Blues
Mermaid Motel
Put Me In A Movie
Oh Say Can You See
Gramma
For K part 2
 
Not really sure about the name tho, it should be something that fits both albums, such as ULTRAVIOLENCE: The Nevada Edition/ Nevada Swing/ Nevada Kill or something lol, Lana is bettah with names

I agree that some of Lana's best lyrics (Off To The Races, Carmen...) is on BTD but definitely also her worst (DMD, DP, Lolita are cringeworthy and embarrassing)

How can you say that!!?!??! Old Money, Black Beauty, Is This Happiness, Brooklyn Baby etc. Is Lana's best and most personal lyrics since May Jailor....

Because Dark Paradise sucks. :uh: :uh: :uh: :uh:

How can you say that!!?!??! Old Money, Black Beauty, Is This Happiness, Brooklyn Baby etc. Is Lana's best and most personal lyrics since May Jailor....

Lol I'm sorry as you can tell I'm new sooooooooo and I can dislike Lorde if I want too, #sorrynotsorry 

 

tl;dr: @@FormerLanaFan to Lana: I'm a drag and you're a whore.
 
Ok, so your issue with her is that she doesn't live up to your (a man's) fantasy image of her and your expectations of her sexual behavior as a woman? Do you not see how problematic this is?
 
Would we have though? I've been in the Lana sleuthing game for almost 3 years now and have developed something of a reputation for it and I still find myself surprised at new information and how it reshapes my understanding of her. Also, there's a possibility the label head claim may not be as interesting as it sounds. Everybody and their brother has a label these days. Ben even had one.
 
I dunno. You seem to be the only one reacting strongly about this. (Not that I haven't been about the only person objecting to something on here before. ) Also, when she said "I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry" she may simply have meant that a lot of the guys she fucked were in the industry, not that she's fucked a lot of guys in absolute terms. Even if she was, comparing someone who has "slept with a lot of guys" with a porn star is not a fair comparison, but FWIW that Duke porn star seems pretty content with her decision. Also FWIW, there's a fair amount of transactional sex suggested in Lana's lyrics. How is this only bothering you now? And WTF do private sexual acts have to do with being a good person, being involved in your community, or your relationship with your father, mother, and siblings?
 
No, it's not the Beatles era, though your attitudes about women and sex seem imported straight from it. I can't help but laugh at the irony and lack of self-awareness in your reference to Othello, a man so obsessed with a woman's believed promiscuity that (spoiler alert) it drives him to murder, and ultimately suicide.
 
Um, what is this all about? Are we still talking about Lana?
 
So far you're the only one portraying her like the biggest whore in the music industry. Personally I think T-Swift might privately high-five Lana and tell her to write kiss and tell songs about everybdy she fucked. And then she'd probably fuck Lana and write a song about it.

You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me
"But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird?"
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?
So you can sit me here next to Britney Spears?
Shit, Christina Aguilera Lana Del Rey better switch me chairs
So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst James Franco and Dan Auerbach
And hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first first sucked cock
 
Just maybe.
 
What does one have to do with the other? Besides, for all we know, Pat might high-five her or be jealous.

My momma, she would love you like I love you
If she ever met you, if she ever knew
My momma, she would fall right on top of you
If she ever saw you, she’d be smitten too

I’ll never take you home
I want you all for my own
Don’t let my momma hear your pretty song
 
Right, the couple bucks you spent on her artistry entitles you to dictate her sex life. Really, her comment is "undefendable"? I see plenty of people doing just that.
 

Racist much? 
You are some German Nazi I suppose. The most despicable people in the world. #GodwinsLaw
 

Speaking of German, I'm not above schadenfreude. I really hope your daughter (@@FormerLanaFan's, not yours @@PrettyBaby) fucks around a lot when she grows up and doesn't care if you know it.  

Oh god, where to even begin with this one...  

I'm quite baffled that when Lana says she's "slept with a lot of guys" you seem to automatically assume it was all causal sex and never serial monogamy. 
I'm not even gonna address the misogynist/objectifying undertones in the latter part of that post, but let me just explode some of the stereotypes in it. Speaking as an older fan, it's not just today's teenagers that grew up on internet porn. Anyone who spent any part of their teens in the internet age did. But when I was a teenager, despite my "urges", I also was a virgin by choice until marriage. And from personal experience I can say that that was the wrong choice for me. While not necessarily promoting sleeping around a ton, I think the broader view of sex endorsed by most posters here is far more healthy.
 

I think a lot of people find sexual experience a desirable quality in a partner. 

I've said it before, but it bears repeating:
