Yeah, I guess so! In terms of her songwriting it seems like she's literally describing her experiences (day-in-a-life way of storytelling) as herself:
"You took my sadness out of context at the Mariners Apartment complex", like, that's oddly specific! lol "So I moved to California", it's literally her who has moved there, no fictional story-telling here. "Hawaii just missed a fireball / L.A.'s in flames, it's getting hot", again she's describing real events. So there certainly seems to be a shift from fiction to non-fiction, I'd say. Additionally, it seems (at least to me) that incorporating such real and literal events adds to the honesty and authenticity of her music. -

Lol! Didn't she say she felt like she said everything she wanted to say after she released BTD in that Vogue interview from 2012?
"Oh, I don't think I'll write another record. What would I say? I feel like everything I wanted to say, I've already said." And yet, here we are, 6 years later lol.
It would be very interesting to see what would happen if she were to ditch the persona. Do you think she'll come up with a new one? Or do you think she'll start writing as herself? And is that even possible?

That would be so cute for her to rerelease it on the 10th anniversary, I feel it would be very bittersweet for her. And for her to see how far she's come..

I've had this in my brain for the past month an a half an needed to make it. I've always voiced before how Lana should re-release AKA on its 10th aniversary and how cool it's be.
But I've been wondering now , after Rockwell, what's left? after HM shes somehow been reverting back in lyrical topics/style in a #tbt kind of way.. so could it all go back to the start?

this is just me blabbering a fun thought

I don’t know if it’s that we’ve been waiting for this moment for such a long time or what but I’m just feeling so depressed today. The album is amazing and I’m so glad we have it and it feels so good to make it to this point so idk why I’m feeling like this. I just feel empty now. It’s like there’s nothing left to look forward to in life.
