There's nothing wrong with having some fun - like, I don't have a problem with her injecting pop culture references or even humour into her work - but the way she's done that recently has seemed poorly thought out and lazy. Like, there was just no need to put the word "Tesla" in that poem at all, for example. I found that it really distracted me from everything else she was trying to say. To me, that's the "Tesla" poem and I can hardly remember anything else about it. She's almost in her mid 30s now. She's not old, but she's not super young, either. She should just focus on being herself. It reminds me of when Madonna tried to do this shit 10 years ago or something. She did some semi-rap song about doing yoga and pilates and drinking lattes 'n' shit, and it was embarrassing. Artists produce the best work when they are themselves. She spends too much time trying to be someone else. And I am not talking about the LDR persona; because LDR had cohesion. Whoever she is trying to be now does not. This Instagram baddie business is awful; when I read that tweet I REALLY hoped she was joking. It's not even about her friends - she can be friends with whoever - but I SERIOUSLY hope she stops this Instagram baddie shit soon, because she seems to be taking it way too far and it seems to be affecting her professionalism. You get the sense that even her managers don't even really know WTF she's doing. If she was writing songs for her new album NOW, in this mindset/persona/whatever the fuck this is, I would have very low expectations. /rant

An Instagram baddie wouldn't care, so nor does she. Fresh out of fucks forever = Truths Lana Has Told Us

Basically: 1. Lana declared on NYE that she was going to spend this year living as an Instagram baddie 2. She has a group of Instagram baddie friends 3. She and her Instagram baddie friends go to church and Cha Cha Matcha, mostly 4. She wears activewear now 5. Norman Fucking Rockwell is possibly a figment of everyone's imaginations 6. She's publishing a poetry book and selling it for $1, but you can save your $1 and read it all on her Instagram That's it. That's the crisis. Especially #5

Right so I did hallucinate. Nothing to see here, folks. As you were. (Feel free to delete my previous post + this one, of course ... idk how to do that myself)

OK maybe I hallucinated but yesterday, I'm sure Lana had 417 IG posts (I notice numbers) and now she has 416. What did she delete and why, hmmm? Cannot see anything obvious missing but I wouldn't notice tbh. I just noticed the number changed.

"Tigers and women can't be in the same room. Even if the tiger is a female. Because the pheromones a girl puts off - the tiger will eat them." I mean, obviously I get why you wouldn't be in the same room as a tiger, and I'm not a zoologist, but I do not think that is the reason. If it was, tigers at zoos would never have female handlers, and they do. It is therefore my conclusion that that was 100% Lana Del Liar.

Girrrrrl have you got 3 hours? Haha

I just assumed she always went to church with one or more of her friends because she didn't want to go alone. And friends don't let friends (who have been terrorised by umpteen psychopaths) go to church alone.

Everyone @ her

No, no, Ben said it isn't finished and that good music takes time. Ed said Lana will tell us when she wants to. And Lana herself is painting malachite fkn Easter Eggs. Questions?

I'm just here for the bunnies. This bunny, though ... flaky af https://twitter.com/LanaDelLovers/status/1117593609598132225 Lana Del Rey is asked to paint an Easter Egg so she paints it ... malachite. 'Course she does.

Let's face it, we're all obsessive personality types here. We all have issues with letting go, haha.

OK mum Somebody @ that lazy bitch with this, because I bet she hasn't shot anything yet.

File this under OCD af, but her new profile picture on IG pisses me off every time I look at it because you can see a tiny bit of the binding slats on the far left of it. Like, bitch is even too lazy to centre her profile pic properly. Fuck me. We're going to end up talking about her toenail clippings by page 1547 because we'll be so bored. Legit I do not care at this point if the cover is of a random mosquito leg I JUST WANT THE MUSIC

Do we know who that is on it? Otherwise best I can do is try to find similar

I found Lana's super secret Instagram-poetry-inspired NFR shirt design

I'm not going to go back and forth with you on pronunciation. I think you're wrong. You think I'm wrong. Okay. I'm not your sweetie. We are not on patronising-nickname terms. Nor am I American. Stop being so uptight and go outside or something.

I agree; I just enjoy fighting with people on the internet some Sunday afternoons

No, it isn't: She sings "HiroSHEEEEma" - it's "HirOSHima" (although the "OSH" isn't strongly emphasised). She sings "KeeYO-toe" - it's "Kyoh-toh" It sounds wrong to a Japanese person. Which means it's wrong, because they're Japanese words. If you have a Japanese person handy, ask them. I do, and I did. She's adjusted the syllables to suit the song - understood. That's her prerogative. But IMO it's lazy songwriting to pronounce a word incorrectly to make it fit. (and I never said I was the only one here who could speak Japanese ... but thanks for hot tip). Whatever, the biggest issue (which I mentioned and everyone ignored) is how predictable the lyrics are. I like Marina. But I don't like this song. Fight me.

What do you want on it? I'll make it ... as long as Lana doesn't sue me. ETA: Actually, I was gonna make one with Norman over there <-------- that's my 'shop job. And then go hang out at Cha Cha Matcha ETA2: That's a lie, I don't even live in the same country as Cha Cha Matcha. Lana's rubbing off on me, send help

She certainly has a very volatile and complicated relationship with the truth; perhaps she should write a song about it. And then lie about that song's release date.

'K.

I'm not "trying" anything; I'm expressing an opinion and I'm pretty sure that's what you do on a message board. Granted, I lived in Japan for 3 years so most people's pronunciation sounds off (and yes, hers is wrong ... sorry bud)

OK I'm sorry, but ... "To be human" is actually terrible. I'm actually embarrassed for her by how terrible it is. The fake Russian (?) accent when she sings "go to Rah-shuhhhh". The butchering of the Japanese city names. The predictable af lyrics. I can't.
