okay so I was creeping on Barries instagram after someone pointed out he followed lana, and on his latest video singing;
jaime king commented "Brother! We love and miss you! ❤️" and he responded back "hello! ❤️❤️ miss you too! Love you a lot sis! Proud of your achievements. Hey maybe I'll see yous again someday.. ya never know" 
 
anyways I wonder if he has reached out to lana or lana to him??? 
sometimes I wonder if barrie helped lana write some of her iconic songs (cola ex) and idk im so interested in the whole dynamic of Barrie/Lana and Jaimie/her husband

I’m glad this means there’s more UV outtakes than we know about though

i really do think azaelia cursed her

The lyrics of Wild One are top tier. I’m so heartbroken she never decided to do anything with this ):

Like this post if you have the overwhelming urge to smoosh that ice cream in her face whilst screaming, "WHERE THE FUCK IS NFR?!". No? Just me? OK.

..he announced the surprise release was shawn fucking mendes....
like no offense BUT WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT-

maybe elle needs the ad revenue

honestly can someone just leak Life Is Beautiful.... I genuinely think hearing that song in full would INSTANTLY cleanse myself of all suffering and sin and transport my soul to heaven. Then we will all stop being a rowdy angry bitches on lanaboards and we will all be at peace. I am the blood sacrifice, I volunteer myself

good things happen when this cursed thread is locked

lock it again

and we may get smth even bigger

In that case, I need NFR to be vanta black: the cd itself and the cover too. No pictures, no text, nothing. Kinda like the era lol

Cherry Blossom really came to save us amid our huge thirst 

I really wish we get a song like Wild One/Color Blue on NFR because Lana's voice sounds so good next to an acoustic guitar rather than piano. I think it's obvious that NFR will be more piano driven but I would like just ONE song that is purely just guitar...

She hasn't gone to Hillsong in awhile, so there's that. 
 
Next minute ... 

i thought something had happened-
 

Everyone was just talking about it in the random thread anyway, so ...

I really don't think it is Elizabeth's release on Friday; Perez said it was "big" and I don't think a fourth single would constitute "big". Dropping the entire album would be "big", but she's made it clear that the poetry book is coming first.

omg i thought there was news-

Hey bitch, missed u  for a sec I thought there was news I- 

does anyone know when this was written??? I am in love with it. and I just hope to god she can pull something like this for NFR... 
sometimes I wonder if Barrie helped her write songs (jk)

“School kid dreams came true then passed in the night” This really hit me

This is the woman who writes about crustaceans and tesla cars people. Same girl. Wtf.

I had to look up what "nectar of the gods" is and it seems to be the sweetest and most delicous drink or thing you can consume, and can literally mean food for (ancient Greek) gods. When looking at the previous line, "what cruel world is this?", she might be asking herself what kind of world this is to have something you can't stop yourself from having, which makes it cruel. Maybe we can think of it like candy - your tongue and brain loves it, but you know it's not good for you if you overconsume it. Perhaps this "nectar of the gods" is heroin, which she mentions in the next line.
Heroin is an opioid and makes you addicted. She knows it's not good for her, yet she can't stop herself from having it i.e. she's addicted. She may be taking heroin to relieve heartbreak and pain, since it can have similar effects to morphine, another opioid, or she may be taking it to create a rush while thinking of her lover.
The next line makes me think of Summertime Sadness ("cruisin' down the coast, goin' 'bout 99"), but I think she is describing the rush, the euphoric feeling from the drug ("racing at a million"). And she confirms that she can't stop using it - she's addicted.
Finally, she is saying that she wishes to talk with her lover but she is either making calls but it too scared to actually talk to him and hangs up, or she keeps calling him and he refuses to have a proper conversation and hangs up the phone.
 
 
She says that she loves him more than before ("like you never knew"), hinting that they're no longer a couple. Not being with him saddens her ("like the color blue") and maybe she's crossing lines just to show him how much she cares (like keep calling him on the phone and acting "fucking crazy" by doing that).
 
 
After a quick search, I found that Lana is referencing a song, Honey on the Vine, by Matt Monro. I listened to it, and it's a sweet, jazzy love song (from 1997?), and if we go back to the previous line, she might be asking what a world would be like if it had love like that. Maybe she's thinking back to her past, remembering when her world was sweet like that, and thinking that she no longer recognizes it today.
In the next lines, she's looking back to when she was still unknown and had grand dreams of her future. She dreamt of celebrities, namedropped singers, songwriters and artists in her own songs, imagining what it must be like to be one of them. Now, she knows what it means to be a celebrity and knows the backside of being one, and wonders why she even daydreamed of a life like this when she was young. Perhaps, her (ex-)lover is a musician too. ("I used to dream/sing about people like you")
 
 
She made it to California and Los Angeles ("home land of the gods" - or maybe the "gods" are movie stars, and movie stars are usually in LA), a place she'd been longing to experience and live at. Now that she is here, she kind of has fullfilled her goals, she has everything she dreamt of (well, except for love I suppose) so the question is... what left is there for her to have? What will her new goals in life be? She's feeling lost in the place she feels most at home and must find herself. Perhaps she's feeling lost if her (ex-)lover dumped her, and she's asking herself what she did wrong and is trying to find an answer.

Waking up late and seeing that the NFR pre-release thread was locked again
 

The Gucci collab really confuses me. Why now? Why would she be interested in anything besides an Adidas collab at this point? 2019 Lana & Gucci is a bad joke and nothing more than that. 2011-2017 Lana & Gucci would have been epic. I really liked the H&M campaign but the BTD era deserved Gucci, Versace, YSL, LV, Chanel, etc. Why do it now she's worn out and tired of that shit? It probably shouldn't, but it really makes me laugh, because it reminds me of how I lived a few years ago...As often as I could, I'd hole myself up in my apartment for days or weeks on end, do nothing but drink and write songs, I'd let myself go completely, not even brush my hair, basically walk around like a hobo...but at some point, inevitably, I'd have to get off my ass and go back to school or work, or go to a doctor's appointment or some meeting/event I couldn't get out of. And I'd show up to like, my uncle's barbecue, looking like this

 
I'd go from swamp monster to full glam (and then right back to swamp monster as soon as I found the chance to) in a couple hours, every time I was forced to come in contact with other human beings. And that way no one knew what was going with me. Now this is obviously not the same situation, Lana seems to have a pretty active social life, she's often seen out and about with her friends or on her own. But the way they paint her up, polish her and throw some designer shit on her whenever she's forced to attend a more formal event seems so comical to me. It feels like a joke, knowing how she chooses to look 99% of the time. Like, Gucci people, who do you think you're fooling here?    
 
It was the worst possible timing for that campaign. I'm guessing it was probably something she agreed to 2+ years ago, and has to suffer through now. Her friendship with Alessandro seems to be making it bearable enough but it's clear she's not into it at all. Poor girl. #FreeLana @Gucci

It must be over my (bitter) head.
 
I'm not saying she can't have fun, but ... eh.
