Do you even know what poetry is... 

art has the potential to actually have meaning, not just some vapid aesthetic divorced from any substance.  this kind of empty, pretty art is actually pretty new in the grand scheme, only coming to the forefront of the art world with mass production and digital distribution allowing today's capitalist class to focus solely on marketing it to as many people as possible and making money off of it, not spreading any sort of message or having any real cultural impact.  even Lana's supposed idols were creating music and poetry with power and meaning, like Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, and Leonard Cohen.  the Beat poetry era that Lana has referenced throughout her work, and from which she seems to borrow a lot of her aesthetic, was extremely political, about exploring issues impacting the human condition, rejecting economic exploitation and materialism, fighting against institutional conformity and conservative ideals and authoritarian bullshit, exploring spirituality (all spirituality, even Lana's half assed white witch shit, is derived from indigenous beliefs), finding sexual liberation, fighting actual colonization..  not that there aren't always problems to be discussed when it comes to art, but that's what makes the whole art world so interesting and impactful.  actual critique and analysis ab what someone's art means or what impact it has is how an audience participates in the artistic process.  open yer mind

Honestly sometimes I feel that we overestimate her. I don’t think she’s as smart as I thought she was... I agree that the use of ‘resist’ and ‘colonized’ in the same context like that is highly offensive even though I believe in the freedom of word use in poetry.

 

If she were speaking clearly about how depression is violently colonizing her and killing her and taking all that makes her her, that would have maybe sounded more poetic and adequate. But the whole poem seems silly and not up to a word like this

i agree, i think this is a really good point.  the word is so loaded with meaning, with such an intense and violent context in reality - not just a make believe world of fantasy and imagery that Lana seems to live in - that to include this theme in her silly poem is just way off the mark.  i think lana's poetry is cute, but it's not like, hard hitting literature with a deep impact.  many/most good artists use their work to draw attention to issues regarding the human condition, and in today's world, the plight of indigenous people is a huge deal.  there has been a ton of poetry about important issues, referencing colonization etc, that actually makes a point about what's going on with those issues.  Lana makes no attempt to do that.

I sometimes wonder what kind of social environment is she surrounded by that she doesn't seem to get this kind of necessary criticism or develop true awareness about the social topics she tries to talk about. I'm sure her intentions are good, but her perspective about topics that go beyond her inner world always end up showing themselves clumsy and uninformed. Anyway, I think that she's very slowly enriching her point of view on some matters. Remember how bigot some of her lyrics and declarations have been along the early stages of her career. Not that we should give her an award for thinking twice before writing or saying stuff, but I hope that time -and the aim to amplify her knowledge if she has it, of course- will help her to visualize things from a broader, more inclusive and critical perspective.

what i dont understand is why she seems to really want to involve herself in larger issues but then misses the mark so bad.  im 100% in support of someone trying to educate themselves ab important issues, or creating art about anything they want.  but it's weird to see her play at this "radical politics theme" without having any sort of actual radical politics, or really any substantial understanding of the topics she brings up.  she does seem to be stuck in a bit of a bubble

Um...

Oh I'm sorry, it's probably just easier for you to ignore these issues and keep stanning a rich white woman who pretends to care about shit she doesn't even try to understand. Sorry reality is too inconvenient for you to acknowledge. :/ Alexa, stream God Bless America And All The Beautiful Women In It Except The Stolen Sisters Because I'm Too Far Removed To Care.

I'm not a poet or anything, but I don't want to give up the ability to use words flexibly (e.g. "leak holocaust" does that sound familiar to anyone?). That's just what words do. I think what she's trying to do in her post is talk about how depression "invades" her well being and what her counters for that are; hence, the first thing I did with my exploratory post about it was bring up Marina's thank you from L + F (as Marina talked about her depression a lot between Froot and L+F). So she's expressing a "life hack" for depression, not a politically, historically, and/or ethnically correct point, so I'm cutting her some slack. But I do appreciate the explanations for why the word triggers people as I'm insensitive (too), but now I'm a little more sensitive. However, I don't think she wants to compare her suffering to the general suffering humanity inflicts upon itself, and therefore I don't interpret her words, or her, as doing that. Also I don't think it's a response about her current boyfriend (not that I'd mind). It seems more about her relationship with fame in general.

imperial colonists invading a continent and committing genocide, then STILL not recognizing rights of surviving indigenous people on that continent, is NOT "suffering humanity inflicts upon itself."  it's an orchestrated attack by one group over another.  I see what youre saying about using language creatively to describe a variety of things, but it's not an emotional argument here.  indigenous people are currently under attack by neo-colonial governments.  indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people regularly go missing or get murdered with no acknowledgement or justice.  neo-colonial governments still reject the sovereignty of indigenous nations and encroach upon their ancestral lands to further corrupt the natural landbase for economic gain, contributing to actual sickness and death of the people who live there as well as climate catastrophe.  it's not about how someone feels.  it's literally a life or death issue for indigenous people who have been sidelined and ignored when theyre not getting disappeared, kidnapped, re-educated, or killed, for multiple centuries now.

i think this is the point thats getting missed by people who have all their material needs met and are able to benefit from governments and societies built by colonialism and genocide.  it's easy to miss just how much is at stake, how dire these issues are, when they don't directly affect someone, or even if someone is able to benefit from this history of colonialism.  so it's absolutely not the same thing, not a fair metaphor, and simply not okay for Lana to use these loaded comparisons to refer to her emotional state.  indigenous people are STILL HERE.  against all past and continuing attacks by colonists, indigenous people still exist and are fighting for their rights and sovereignty, even though they get slapped down, arrested, jailed, sanctioned, attacked, murdered, tortured, etc every single time.  this is a triumphant testament to how the spirit of the Earth can never be defeated.  if Lana wants to acknowledge the strength of these people and use her platform to fight on their behalf, great.  otherwise, she is literally profiting off colonialism and the destruction of native lifestyles in America, then using terms derived from and referencing this history to make points about her first world problems.  it's disgusting.

The only reason Lana Del Racist should be referencing colonization is to hand her platform to an indigenous activist or speak up directly about decolonization and still hand her platform to an indigenous activist.

It's not about using the word in a good or bad way, it's using the word, with all its ties to political struggles that she's not a part of (that are still ongoing) to describe her personal feelings. It's like how Audre Lorde's concept of self care, which she coined and used as a radical act (because as a black woman who was ill she found the system was failing her), has now been co-opted by white and often wealthy people to use instead of "unwind" or relax. The concept of being colonised and how that can impact everyday life isn't for her, a white and wealthy woman born and raised (and who often glorifies) in a white settlet colony nation. I feel stupid typing all this on lanaboards about some Instagram video she put up but this segment of writing really rubbed me the wrong way, it has the same vibes as the whole "good intentions will shift the vibrational energies in Palestine" thing. It's a showcase of her privilege and I hope you get where I'm coming from lol.

 

If it is indeed related (there's no confirmation that this is anything to do w VBBOTG) I doubt many Natives would be happy with a white woman comparing the brutal treatment of Natives to her having boyfriend troubles or problems with mainstream fame that got her filthy rich

I 100% agree with you here.  I think her reference to colonization is extremely tactless and makes her come off as privileged and ignorant.  Particularly when she must be aware of the horrors of colonization, having referenced donating money to Native groups just earlier this year and said stuff in interviews about volunteering on a reservation.  Thinking back to her (also tactless) wearing a headdress in the Ride video during the part that says "I believe in the country America used to be" -- I really don't know if Lana has ever come to terms with her privilege or the historical context it has.  Which you'd think, because she glorifies America - a white settler colony still occupying Native land - It's not a good look; that's for sure.  Particularly at a time in history where the war against indigenous people across the globe is still raging and more dire than ever.

IMO, in light of what's going on just this year -- with Bolsonaro encouraging further genocide against the indigenous people of Brazil, the Wet'suwet'en people facing Canada's continued brush off of their rights and sovereignty, the way the out of control Australian fires have highlighted the importance of Aboriginal wisdom, the Costa Rican indigenous activist Yehry Rivera being murdered as the Broran community is trying to reclaim their land -- it's never been clearer that the impact of colonialism is still a massive wound in today's world.  For Lana to throw out such a loaded term so casually, and probably referencing some bullshit first world white girl problem like breaking up with her cop boyfriend or thinking her fans are mean to her or some shit -- it's really honestly disgusting to me.  She's built her entire career glamorizing American history without a single mention of how the entire country she "loves" is built upon violence, carnage, millions of dead bodies, and complete disregard for life.  If it wasn't official before (and tbh I havent been a fan for a while) I cannot be a fan of Lana at the fuck all.  She has all this money and privilege and a massive platform with millions of fans doting on her every word, and she's doing jack shit with it.  What a fucking waste.

All of these stans are STILL crying about not getting to see lana for like the 7th time and having already flown out and booked a hotel...

they're busy touring paris (for like the 3rd time) with other rich stans 

 

   f*ck all of them and their rich people problems!

preach kwan  

FG, thank you. I appreciate it. Your ideas also seem like "weird shit" to me sometimes.

 

I don't know what your specific beliefs are in multiple areas, but I think if you knew me well, you'd be surprised to find that I'm not like you appear to currently conceive of me.

 

I know a great deal about Celtic religions and folklore, the British "fairy faith," the work of Ronald Hutton, Cernunnos, contemporary Wicca movements, the work of Margaret Murray, Carlo Ginzburg, W.Y. Evans-Wentz, Yeats and Lady Gregory, Carl Jung and so on. Maybe none of that means anything to you; I don't know. 

 

May the forces of the universe grace us all with open-mindedness, broad tolerance, an understanding of individual differences and the ability to not jump to conclusions.

 

V.  

Verty, i think youve mentioned some cool ideas.  I also am a folklore enthusiast and I love poetry and wondering about archetypes and finding the real magic in our world.  Tho I have to say, an interest in the fairy faith, cernunnos, and wicca seems to clash with what i (perhaps wrongfully) assumed was your downward looking view of "provincial" common folk stuff.  These beliefs and practices - though taken up by some of the aristocracy as a passing interest or something to be capitalized off of - come from the common folk and those who live close to nature (i.e. not in a capital city).  I believe these concepts are derived, largely, from the folk religions of pre-christian europeans, who may be closest to some idea of "indigenous" europeans.  This brings me back to my original point ab the sacred nature of, well, nature, and the sustainability that comes with a natural lifestyle - such as food sovereignty, leisure time, a less elitist view of success, wildness, freedom, coexisting with living things, etc etc.  To my mind, those born to wealthy families with the privilege to write about and make money / status off of the folk beliefs of common people are not true representatives of the beliefs themselves.  Something something, history is written by the oppressors, something something.  This is why I will always rep the underdog, underclass, oppressed, marginalized viewpoints, directly.  Not the elite few who choose to interpret these viewpoints for an aristocratic audience.

It does seem to me that the interests youve mentioned would not be mutually exclusive with an elitist or a white supremacist worldview.  It's hard to discuss the modern history of the British Isles and its inhabitants without taking a long hard look at imperialism and colonization and its effects on nature based societies around the globe.  It's hard to discuss the works of the likes of Jung and Yeats without recognizing the impact their ideas had on rising far-right fascist movements of their time.  Not to mention the inherently prejudiced and discriminatory nature of the psychology / psychiatry movement and how it has historically targeted/victimized/tortured/discredited marginalized groups including people of color, LGBT folks, independent women, anti-capitalists, religious or political minorities, etc etc.

I believe respectful discussion of differing beliefs is possible, but if these beliefs seem to stem from an overarching ideology of supremacy (be it racial, spiritual, financial, sexual, mental), it's hard for me to take those beliefs as "respectful" in the first place.  Any ideology based upon subjugation of others or some supposed "validity" of elitist hierarchy is not one I can align myself with or take very seriously, tbh.  Regardless, I was genuine in my apology for being cruel, bc I want to embody the values I seek most on this earthly plane, and that's not necessarily it.  No, I dont know you and I don't know where you stand on things, but from your words throughout this and the NFR pre-release thread, I've picked up on things it seems you hold as underlying premises to reality that I strongly oppose -- such as the idea that western civilization is the peak of human society.

In other words, I prefer to listen to the fae directly rather than read about them second hand from someone with the privilege to make those studies their life's purpose instead of being forced to work for their masters.  Nature is sacred.  Real Magic exists for those who see and those who don't.  The common folk have the actual knowledge because they experience it firsthand, and it's always been this way before the elitist overlord class stole all common land and forced us to work for their benefit.

And (to make this on topic) it's not the same as Lana and her friends appropriating and bastardizing Hindu mudras or laying white feminist curses on Trump.  (tho im sure you agree with me on that).

When Lana sings "back in the garden, we're getting high now, because we're older"  all i can think of is  the privatization of land via colonialism and how only rich landowners have access to beautiful gardens that used to exist for all people.  Oh how I dream of getting high in a common wild garden as a spiritual native of the earth, and not in a Norman Rockwell private suburb where some asshole in a polo shirt and khaki shorts is gonna yell at me to get out of his backyard.  Thank you for listening.

NFR! Is like if you asked a machine to make a Lana Del Rey record

this is the realest shit ive ever heard

@@Vertimus im sorry hunty, all of the goddess's creatures deserve love, even you.  i think you have some weird opinions, but i shouldnt be so cruel.  please forgive me

@@Vertimus is the perfect exhibition of classic white male fragility, stay bothered  sir.  imagine thinking "western civilization is the best and most important and only valid society to ever exist reeeeee" is an objective fact.  pls pull your head from your likely not-so-golden-ratio'd ugly ass and recognize that "provincial" isn't an insult unless your elitist self must shit on anyone who doesnt live in a capital city.  indigenous people got slaughtered bc they were dumbo stupidheads who deserrrved it, right?  that's why your prized white male dominated western civilization is responsible for the modern annihilation of all things natural and sacred.  thank the Lort that some blessed White Saviors came down to invent nuclear weapons, create disastrous climate change, institute industrial wage slavery, and go "oh ho ho ho im better than you" to anyone who dare question their "objective" view that things are better with all these messes.  im so glad our Overlords (sweet sweet hierarchy!) destroyed food sovereignty and leisure time and now we must grovel for processed supermarket human feed to survive.  i am oh so grateful that the rivers and oceans and lakes are poisoned and we must all pay to live on land we didnt ask to be born on, all thanks to the All-Superior White Western GodFathers.  Grow a brain. you are perhaps the most myopic person on here and claiming others are narrow minded... i- it's really hard to even read without a full body cringe.  my spirit deserves better.  your spirit deserves better.  stop torturing your poor self by lapping up the actual shit you swallow to stay brainwashed.

on topic: NFR is not a woke album, and anyone who thinks so has a kindergarten level grasp of world issues.  acknowledging California fires is tantamount to looking out the window and seeing that dirt exists.  it just is (Vertimus knows how this objectivity stuff works, right?) ... in multiple videos Lana throws shit at cops knowing her privilege protects her from any repercussions, she shows no grasp of any sort of world issues.  in California, she says "i heard the war was over if you really choose to end the one around you" or whatever.  like, ok Lana go tell that to the legion of dead Yemeni children or Uighyur Muslims or Sri Lankan Tamils or Central/south american kids at US border camps.

this whole damn world needs a "wake up call" especially Lana.  and you, Vertimus.  thankfully others here already spelled it out

it's me ur little faggot bitch 

this is actually how i sing along to this song since before the whole album was released lol

 Y'all yell f*g to each other all day and no one gives a shit.

preface: i don't think i've ever heretofore used that word on here, and if i have it was definitely not in a derogatory way.  also, this post is NFR related due to the way Lana's churchgoing has highlighted homophobia from a gay music icon.

point: "Faggot" is literally the only word in the English language that means "gay man."  Tho most indigenous societies held esteemed roles and a variety of terms for various sexes / sexualities / genders / etc, queerness is now seen as something degrading and insulting - something to be ashamed of. Terminology to describe queerness has systematically been attacked and erased throughout the spread of patriarchy across the world.  And the very few remaining terms are deemed slurs.  "Fag" means "gay man."  I am that.  The word describes me accurately.  If anyone is allowed to use that term, I believe I should be.  The only reason it would be seen as bad is if people think being what the word describes is something to be insulted by.  It is not.  There is nothing wrong with being queer or gay or trans or whatever.  We need more language to describe these things, not less.  Queerness should not be erased or censored.  We should not be forced to hide, to be ignored, to pretend we are not the reality of what we are.

In Lana's song "Love Song" , she sings "is it safe, is it safe, to just be who we are?" .. I must ask, who can feel this sentiment more than queer individuals?  LGBTQIA+ people are routinely killed around the world just for "who we are."  Literally murdered.  Also violently attacked, legally discriminated against, prevented from securing adequate employment and housing, kept in poverty at disproportionately higher rates than straight people.  This issue is not some offhand comment that can be thrown out and dismissed without a true look at what's really going on.  Particularly on Lanaboards when Lana attends a church that supports conversion therapy, her friends of choice post photos at Hotels owned by world leaders who quite literally legally sanction the murder of gay people, when her fanbase has a huge amount of queer people, and a huge amount of specifically gay men who relate to her music and artistic concepts.  If users here acknowledging the existence of gay men is more offensive than these other things going on in the world that are routinely swept out of sight, like wtf.  if mods censoring users / signing off on personal attacks on users here is just par for the course, like wtf.

My question is this:  can i just get fucking banned already?  thank you.

fuck the chicken, has anyone tried THIS BEEF? its delicious

i like NFR well enough, i just dont listen to it that much.  Lana is going thru her own journey; we cannot expect her to fulfill any expectations or whatever. let the bitch live, and if the music isnt doing it for you, move on to another artist. i heard someone say - make the art you want to experience

can you shut the entire fuck up?

no. hop off my dick sycophant

smdh

if it is so much of a hassle for her, why tf does she continue to attend these events????  fuckin braindead LA christian washed up fool.  i cant believe i was ever a fan, and i cant wait till her shallow ass is so wrung out of any ounce of talent or intrigue that everyone forgets ab her

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

my god, chuck looks so amazing and dignified. lana kind of looks like a cartoon

ugh im finally here all dressed up and everyone has already left??? and no one texted me the address for the afterparty? wow.

a big congrats to all the winners but especially @@movebaby and @@RormanNockwell and @@SparkleJumpropeNoose (and @@Valerie who i hate to admit is truly an icon), thanks to @@Lad for organizing

ugh, truly, what an experience.  cant wait till lipsters 2020, hopefully the world has fully burned and no one has internet bc we're all just scrounging for scraps to survive in the New Scorched Earth

so touched that someone other than myself may have nominated me for Biggest Lana Hater, wow i really just cant express how this makes me feel.  i would like to commend my fellow nominees in this category for all their hard work.

to @@RormanNockwell , whose classic Lana Hater moves such as "Lana clown nose profile picture trend" , "telling skirtsandsuits what's what" , "reminding us all that cops and churches are nothing to align oneself with if one expects any respect" , "mocking Lana's Cha Cha Matcha addiction" have inspired an entire generation of Lana Haters.  always coming correct with well-thought and true opinions of Lana's endlessly infuriating antics, you are truly a beacon of classy haterism in a dark dark world.  Without your dedicated haterstanship, the NFR Pre-Release thread may have not been the horrific nightmarescape shitshowation we all laughed and cried with during the eternity that stretched between Lana's announcement of NFR and it's final release.  this in addition to stick figure art, staying up to date on sightings and social media posts, always having a flawless profile picture, etc etc?  Thank you for providing such inspiration throughout the many months i have read your username above countless posts, sometimes wondering if it's real or just dyslexia.  i- ... truly, words are not enough.

to @ , whose expert analyses on the lackluster production of Norman Fucking Rockwell! and the sad sad reality that is Jack Antonoff's existence have found me nodding my head fanatically in agreement at my laptop while sitting alone in my bedroom.  Your ongoing feud with Jared has provided many hours of entertainment for me as I sit in the dark smiling with misplaced glee at an electronic screen with tortilla chip dust hanging from my unshaved beard/moustache.  your willingness to express your opinion, however critical, even as lesser members deride your posts, is truly an inspiration to haters everywhere.  this sort of dedication to accurate accusations of NFR's beigeness, of Lana having lost her spark, and of masterpieces such as Ultraviolence and Honeymoon deserving the critical acclaim that the plain and safe NFR! has unjustly received, is an example to us all of how to stick to your guns when it comes to stan hatering.  also, your french post deserves an award itself.  we have no choice but to stan.  the Jareds of the world cant relate (jk Jared im sure youre a fine person, pls stop using JAcking andOFf gifs tho)

to @@Valerie , i dont miss you and im glad you were banned.  honestly i didnt even notice. (jk you made me laugh, even tho i imagine you are a 60-something year old crackhead whose grandchildren never visit).  i still dont know who tf that blue guy in your profile picture is, i wish i did, and now i may never find out.  also when/why did you get banned?  so many questions and so few answers

to Lana, if you read this, i am so so sorry, but not really bc all of your needs are met and it doesnt seem  like you really dont care about the liberation of life on earth.  thank you for your art, without which i may be living a fulfilled life with friends, healthy relationships, reasonable expectations, and self-esteem.

thank you all for your support.  i really couldn't have made it this far without you.  my user rating increased sometime in the past couple months from 2 stars to 3 stars.  i hope one day, i can shine my glaring light from a single reviled star rating.  i would like to graciously rescind my nomineeship for Biggest Lana Hater as i am trying this new thing where i dont talk about people behind their back.  its not working out very well so far, esp when Lana gives us so much to hate ab (i am talking about her horrible poetry that no one wants but yet she still keeps dangling in front of everyone face then never releasing it like a true Lana hater

Cinnamon Girl aged like a calcium buildup stain on my fridge

omg but have you heard this alternate version of cinnamon girl?

The elite cronyism, nepotism, questionable use of taxpayer resources, and apparent disregard of liability issues aside...

 

How many black or brown people do you think would be afforded the same privilege after filming this scene?

 

 

Or after that "Bartender" video throwing shit at the cops?

 

I'm kidding but I'm not.

 

Above gif also sums up my feelings about the whole situation.

the best we can hope is that maybe in 5 years she'll do another spoken word album and say she'll donate half the proceeds to Black Lives Matter

also i'm remembering how Beyonce literally got hoards of hate just for showing a Black child dancing in front of a cop and lying atop a sinking cop car in Formation.  Lana does shit like this multiple times and people dont even pay attention bc "white people dont have to acknowledge racism and/or police brutality"

some people, lacking a strong core identity, mimic the traits of those around them because they don't quite know how to feel, what to feel. they probably feel things in an "abnormal" way (too strongly, too sensitive, etc.) and look to others for guidance because they believe they aren't really sure what the "right" way to feel is. they usually feel split, desiring completely opposing things and they can easily see the good and bad in every situation, and are very adaptable (chameleon soul). it's funny because besides being, seemingly, easily influenced she also is known for not really breaking her character or her persona. this isn't to say she can't make up her own mind on things or that she has no desires, just that it may be harder to define and come to a conclusion on what she wants. some things are always present and strong like the wanting to become an artist, to create, and that is probably one of the only solid things she's had to hold onto. it is her rock and through all her confusion, she knows at the end of the day that she wants to be creating art. her art is influenced by her environment and herself though, of course. i think she can see the good in everyone which is a very helpful quality to have when you're faced with a lot of bad. i think she has usually been hopeful, but not so much lately. being able to see the good and the bad, being able to take the whole world in and analyze it and forgive it is... idk cool i guess. her Ride monologue always gets me, especially in the part where she says "I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality, just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean" because I believe that has been one of her biggest struggles in life and that she's being very intimate and raw with us when she tells us that. i believe it is 100% true that she feels that way and i guess it's because i find it easy to relate to. her persona is so strong because of her shaky self-identity, she needed something to latch onto. she always needs to know who she is and i guess maybe that time she was very lonely and didn't have anyone with traits strong enough to mirror. her persona has these defining qualities and is a somewhat complex character (and it is truly her, not just a character) because she needed to define who she was. you can tell by her music that's she capable of doing a lot of different things in terms of sound and persona, but she has always had some fixed traits that you can even see as far back as the Young Like Me ep that are still present in her music now. and being so capable is what has made her shine and what i believe has driven her success. she easily adapts because that is her way of survival. some abuse survivors have to adapt to their environment to survive, they have to shape themselves into whatever character doesn't get them hurt, they have to cater to what the abuser wants in an attempt to not provoke them. now i am not at all saying i think she was abused, just that she went through life experiencing something similar where she was forced to change at a young age and that led to her split identity. 

this is the kind of analysis i want to see when i log onto Lanaboards

Yep I think about this often and how it affects her music. With Steven Metens she was folky and surfy, with Arthur Lynn she was the trailer trash all-American kitschy girl, with Mizrahi she was a badass bleach blonde plastic looking pornstar LOL. And her environment influences her so much, like the switch from NY to LA.

Side note: do you think I'm crazy for considering aviation? I'm a fan of flying, why not do it for the nation?

My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing due north. No fixed personality.

it's funny how she turns into every person she dates jksnddjncd, like with barrie she was more goth/emo, w francesco she was in italy and was constantly glam, w g eazy she was chilling with rappers and got back into trap music, and now she's plain jane and dresses conservatively w sean.

Errr her song writing has improved dramatically on NFR. The songs are more akin to BTD and VG style writing with great wordy chorus.

 

There was a point where her choruses were extremely repetitive. I blame S-S-S ummertime Sadness success for that mess.

i do think generally her use of language is more complex on NFR, but i think the emotional impact is not as strong as her past work that packed whelps of feeling in the way she intoned her repetitive lyrics
