    Never

     

    Never have I ever had my great-great-great-greatgrandparents colonise indigenous people

     

    lol well my family are immigrants on both sides, but i'm white so it's probably safe to say that somewhere down the line, that may have happened :/ 

     

     

     

    never have i ever accidentally sent a text shit talking somebody, to the person that i was shit talking (thank god) (knock on wood)

    i don't think a single person has mentioned pin up galore yet (may have missed it) but it's always gonna be not only my favorite unreleased lana track but my favorite lana song, period. it's just... so perfectly evocative. the recording i prefer is the live one, or at least i think that's what it is because it sounds like she's in a room with the band at the same time but... i don't know. it's just sexy, melancholy, wistful, and brooding all at once yet it's not so brooding that it loses its fun. 

     

    i actually plan on getting a tattoo of a retro-style teal green trailer with christmas lights on it because of that song. i hope she'd approve.

    Do you think she loves fame though? she always comes across pretty shy to me and very awkward at Red Carpets or when being interviewed and things like that and even doesn't seem to like being on video or even making music videos and does hardly any things for publicity like radio and TV.

     

    To me it seems like she would like a more normal life of just going about like to the beach, going to the studio to work, going for coffee and food with friends, going shopping and blending in rather than loving fame and attention and wanting to be seen as a big star.

     

    sorry if people have said this before (i've gone through this whole thread, read every post lmao it was the reason i joined but i could have missed something cause i smoke weed a lot lmao) but i always figured High By The Beach was about fame. "boy, look at you lookin' at me/i know you don't understand [...] now you're just another one of my problems, because you got out of hand" like she realizes the media/GP doesnt "get" her and she's said a few times that all she wanted was to be like, a poet, so i feel like HBTB was written out of a place of frustration when she was feeling like the fame she wanted before is just causing problems for her now. 

     

    and "the truth is i never bought into your bullshit when you would pay tribute to me" like she never really believed the music journalists when they fawn over her now because they all shit on her before and she knows that it's all so fickle and people will just repeat whatever pitchfork (or whoever) says. like "oh sure y'all like me now and pretend you always did but i remember when i was a literal laughingstock" 

     

    it's one of those songs she's got where she's talking to a man but it's very obvious, at least to me, that it's one of her relationship-as-metaphor songs, it's more obvious than others hahah but hey that's just my two cents :kiss:

    okay, i took a look through the first few pages of this board and didn't see a thread for this so hopefully i'm not starting a new thread for no reason lmao. but i'm really bored and feeling nostalgic for college so i thought i'd start a rousing game of Never Have I Ever.

    What God give me a brain for?

    I don't know why he'd give me a plan for

    He never lets me do it

     

     

    how dare she write something so painfully relatable. who told her to embody my soul like this

    also i really feel as if she says 'ocean grow' not ocean grove, i really hear the 'w' sound at the end

     

    could it be "ocean grown"? that's what the OG stands for in strains of weed like OG kush, it's not "original gangsta" like a lot of people think haha.

    bumpin' old threads like it's my job, i know, but:

     

    i am fully prepared to accept that "i'm a four-alarm fire" is the lyric bc it actually makes sense lol, but before this forum, i always thought it was "baby i'm a foreign on fire", like a foreign car? i know it's a little weird but i've heard rappers refer to them as just "a foreign" a few times before, so idk. probably wrong, but it still kind of sounds like that to me. just a thought.

    • 8: What's one thing you don't like about Lana?

    Her zodiac sign

     

     

    just out of curiosity do you mean gemini, cancer, or specifically gemini-cancer cusp? as an early-june gemini, i fully understand if you meant gemini lmao but in my experience gemini/cancer cusps are always so lovely and sweet and warm and i feel like it fits her perfectly. i couldn't see her as a full on gemini OR cancer, her being both suits her perfectly hehe

    ok!! i'm obviously new but i have two questions: 

     

    first, in your sig, does adding a photo/gif/whatever count as a line of text? i ask cause i tried to add a one-line quote underneath my gif in my sig earlier, and it told me i couldn't because you can only have one line of text.

     

    secondly, sorry if a million noobs always ask this question but i'm just curious, at what point are you allowed to edit your own little tagline/title thingy? like where it says "member" or in my case "newbie" a lot of people have their own custom phrase, i've been on other forums that use this same hosting service or whatever you'd call it but i think the rules are different on all of them, so i was just wondering

     

    thank u in advance :w8ing:

    not to bump a hella old thread or anything (even though i've already done that like five times lol) but i didn't see anyone mention this so far:

     

    i think the origin of the title, besides the "too-boring original title" story, is from the old movie "faster pussycat! kill kill!" with Tura Satana. it's right up lana's alley, here's a short plot summary: 

     

    "Three wild, uninhibited go-go dancers—Billie, Rosie, and Varla, dance at a club before racing their sports cars across the California desert. They play a high-speed game of chicken on the salt flats and encounter a young couple, Tommy and Linda, out to run a time trial. After breaking Tommy's neck in a fight, Varla kidnaps and drugs Linda.

    In a small desert town, they stop at a gas station where they see a wheelchair-bound old man and his muscular, dim-witted son. The gas station attendant tells the women that the old man was crippled in a railway accident, “going nuts" as a result, and that he received a large settlement of money that is hidden somewhere around his decrepit house in the desert. Intrigued, Varla hatches a scheme to rob the old man, and the three women follow him back to the ranch, with their captive in tow."

     

    there's a couple more paragraphs on the wikipedia but you don't need it all, but isn't that just so lana?? go-go dancers, racing cars in the desert, bad sexy women, gas stations, robberies, etc... really makes a lot of her lyrics in other songs fall into place too. of course, lots of movies from this era (1965) have very, very similar themes, so i'm sure this is far from the only piece of media that influenced her around this time, but yeah.

    random but i've always heard specifically in the first verse "and if you ask again, i'll say 'um, sure!'" idk it's just so lana to me and she stops singing and says it in a cutesy like conversational tone so that's how i always heard it
