I'm gonna be listening to 'i know im not the only one' and pretending it is the greatest until saturday

Shh, we're pretending that line doesn't exist.

I hope you guys know that in hiab she’s saying: don’t be a jerk don’t call me a “taxi”! Because she’s tired of her lover saying she looks like a taxi.
 
This is confirmed 100% btw no allegations whatsoever, my uncle (who’m’st’ve you all know from the crack pipe company) confirmed this

Would totally be here for THIS collab

Hey.
 
Just was thinking about the lyrics on NFR, and noticed that some of them may rise again a huge cultural controversy surrounding Lana.
 
I'm thinking specifically about HIAB ones... "If he's a serial killer then what's the worst that could happen to a girl who was already hurt?"
 
How do y'all think critics and social movements will receive this kind of messages since we -fortunately- are right now in a world-wide explosion of reivindications towards women rights?

Ye, don't misunderstand me. I get it's a metaphore of fearing to enter a relationship with someone who's risky to be with in terms of emotional/affective stability or whatever. I don't think Lana is talking about a real "serial killer", obviously.
 
What I find problematic is the language and the figures she finds "suitable" to refer to human relationship topics. It's a form of symbolic power which she's actually a victim of. I've always felt bad for her whenever discussing her love affairs on her music, because the tendence is always to elaborate on them from a very violent and submissive perspective -maybe Ultraviolence is the album where she shows that more explicitly-. Anyway, just thinking and sharing with you. 

"If he's as bad as they say then I guess I'm cursed
looking into his eyes i guess he's already hurt"

Ashley and Alex are just gonna yeet out some copies of the book (hardcover) into the crowd, heavily injuring Lana's precious kidz while summertime sadness remix is playing

If I see one person saying „the album leaked“ when it‘s out in new zealand...

This is a hard one for me. I'll have to go with Ultraviolence because of it's ability to conjure mood, paint pictures of moments, and the biting sarcasm throughout the record. The repetition in the choruses works in this album because of the hazy, 4am swing of the production. Lust for Life had very high highs in terms of lyrics, but also some of her very worst...UV is more consistent. 
 
I think NFR may surpass it, though.
 
Some faves:
 
"Shared my body and my mind with you That's all over now Did what I had to do 'Cause you're so far past me now   You get a little bit of Bourbon in 'ya You get a little bit suburban and go crazy Because you're young, you're wild, you're free You dance in circles around me You're fucking crazy"   "I could have died right there ‘Cause he was right beside me Jim raised me up, he hurt me but it felt like true love Jim taught me that, loving him was never enough   With his Ultraviolence"   "But I can't fix him, can't make him better And I can't do nothing about his strange weather   But you are invincible I can't break through your world 'Cause you live in shades of cool Your heart is unbreakable"   "They say I'm too young to love you They say I'm too dumb to sing They judge me like a picture book By the colors, like they forgot to read I think we're like fire and water I think we're like the wind and sea You're burning up, I'm cooling down You're up, I'm down You're blind, I see"   "Down on the West coast, they got a sayin' "If you're not drinkin', then you're not playin'" But you've got the music You've got the music in you, don't you?"   ^this especially speaks to me as a fellow sober individual. One of her very best, IMO.   "He's got the fire and he walks with it"   ^Seamless David Lynch reference   "You say that you wanna go To a land that's far away How are we supposed to get there With the way that we're living today?"   "The power of youth is on my mind Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time Will you still love me when I shine? From words but not from beauty My father's love was always strong My mother's glamour lives on and on Yet still inside, I felt alone For reasons unknown to me"   And - although simple - the lethal sardonicism of FMWUTTT is underappreciated.   

HM to Born to Die, though. I know a lot of people focused on the Lolita theme, but it's a pretty incredible blend of Americana imagery, satire, and a personal narrative. 

I've always thought that it would be a dream if she performed an acoustic version of Coachella, or even the original removing or lowering the ugly trap beats. The bridge it has never ceases to amaze me!

When I think this thread can't host a post weirder than the ones done before, things like this appear from nowhere

I've been quite haunted by the snippet since it came out, and just realised it sounds as a beautiful, mature mix between what Bel Air and Is this happiness represent in sound terms. Anyone else has noticed the simmilarity?

nice setlist,, though i'd switch hope and change with national anthem and coachella
