    Stay on your path Sylvia Plath

    don't fall away like all the others

     

    Don't take all your secrets alone to your watery grave about

    lovers and mother

     

    The secrets you keep will keep you in deep like Father and Amy and brother

    And all of the people you meet on the street will reiterate lies that she uttered

     

    Leave me in peace I cry

    late at night on a slow boat bound for Catalina for no reason

     

    Tiny beads of sweat dot my forehead

    could be mistaken for dew drops if this were photo season.

     

    But alas this is a real life - and it's been a real fight just to

    keep my mind from committing treason.

    Why you ask?

    Because she told the towns people I was crazy and the lies they started to believe them

     

    But anyway - I've moved on now

     

    And now that I've gone scorched earth

    I'm left wondering where to go from here.

    To Sonoma where the fires have just left?

    South Dakota?

     

    Would standing in front of Mount Rushmore feel like the Great

    American homecoming I never had?

     

    Would the magnitude of the scale of the sculpture take the place of the warm embrace I've never known.

     

    Or should I just be here now

    In the kitchen

    Bare feet on linoleum

    Bored - but not unhappy

    Cutting vegetables over boiling water that I will later turn

    into stew


     

     

     

    The watery grave reminded me immediately of poet Virginia Woolf who committed suicide by drowning herself in a river. Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf are both incredibly famous female poets and they both had severe mental illness and killed themselves. Which brings me to my next pointttt......

     

    Amy of course refers to Amy Winehouse who overdosed and died. It couldn't be determined if the overdose was intentional or not. Winehouse suffered with alcohol and drug abuse so Elizabeth surely feels some connection with Amy which is confirmed by the tattoo she has of her name. So we've got some type of suicide theme going on here maybe...

     

    It feels to me that she is talking about going off to boarding school and what was happening leading up to it. She lived in a suburban town and her being drunk and promiscuous in her early teens would get the residents talking. Her mother may have come up with lies about why Elizabeth was acting like that and, to spare herself from looking bad, told real, exaggerated or false stories about Elizabeth. It would hurt if your mother tells lies about you to everyone in town, but it would hurt just as much if her mother was telling people real things that happened that Elizabeth was very ashamed of and didn't want anyone to know. Her mother could play a part in how her addiction developed. The townspeople started to believe her mother's lies that Elizabeth was crazy and she is upset with her mother still after all these years.

     

    The boat to Catalina seems like her wanting to take a vacation. She has been in the public eye for several years now and she wants to get away from it all but knows she can't. She is trapped in paradise.

     

    The Great American Homecoming is my favorite part of this. It's clear that the 'american dream' is something that deeply affected Lana's life in some way and it has been clear for a decade. The american dream of going through terrible hardships and then breaking out of it and becoming successful, wealthy, happy, etc. was something she has wanted all her life. When she went to boarding school she was going through a hard time and getting clean would be her success. Homecoming is used as in her going back to her town after boarding school. She wanted family and other community members to praise her for how strong she is and talk about how much they missed her and give her warm embraces, but when she came back that didn't happen. People might've made more jabs at her previous bad behavior and she just felt like she couldn't shake off this mistake and she wants to leave to where nobody knows her name. Again, this could be the wanting to leave and get away from it all. Her dreams of being Lake Placid's sweetheart are crushed. 

     

    She's clearly lost. Fame hit her very suddenly and she was very rushed into finishing an album. Now she wonders if she should try to have a more normal life, a life that she's never known. A life that she lives on her own terms, not on the terms of a mother who makes you leave your friends behind, or a record label that rushes you into producing an album. She's scared she won't be happy with that life though and will be bored very quickly. Boredom is a major cause for why addicts start using again. They don't have that rush feeling or the high and want to feel something. Maybe she feels like she is just going through the motions and is living a boring life with no genuine happiness.

    what do you all think the lyrical content of NFR will be?

     

    After BTD and Paradise, the lolita coney island cola daddy gangsta has gradually declined and LFL was all about being #woke and i'm wondering if this album will have her be deeply submissive like the previous releases or feel lonely like HM did or ...?

     

    but like all this poetry astrology legacy and time stuff she's been writing about makes me think that her song lyrics will read like her Instagram poems and i just feel so bored, i want to listen to NFR but i feel incredibly bored by the snippets and MAC, VB, Hope, HTD just don't interest me really. I love when she layers her vocals and when i can listen to a song i've listened to 3000 times and still hear things i've never noticed b4 and im just not getting that so far

     

    maybe my expectations are too high but i was expecting NFR to fuck me so hard I cry and now... it's just fucking me  :defeated:

    pls dont cum after me for not licking VB's toes, its just the way i feel

    Right. She's essentially always in the studio in the same way most of us are at our jobs 40 hours a week. Being in the studio is her job, though I'm sure she does a lot of her writing elsewhere, everywhere.

     

    When she collaborates with others on songs, she probably often does that in the studio too, for obvious reasons. The instruments and recording equipment are there. 

    it's common in the music industry for artists to record separate from each other. they might record on different days or in different studios. they might not even meet the person they are collaborating with. i'm saying this, not specifically to you, but because of all the collab conspiracies.

     

    I think they're just working on something else. Lana is always recording new music. She started working on UV in 2013 not long after Paradise, on HM in 2014 right after UV was released, and she started LFL the day HM was released. And before she started working on NFR, she was still in studio sometimes/or listening to her own unreleased music maybe with the idea of releasing an album of unreleased songs

    Are we sure that she is even gonna make another album or single? she seems so unmotivated lately and she's getting older. she might want to go on and experience new things in life with her soul cycle sisters

     

    i just cant imagine another album. this era has been such a mess and we don't know how it will be perceived once it finally comes out of hiding. she kinda dropped the whole "lolita lost in the hood", "wrap me up in an american flag and let a bald eagle shit on my face" shtick... and when you think about it, a significant chunk, if not the majority, of her unreleased songs were wrapped around that. but i am curious to know what she would write about in an upcoming album and what the sound and visuals would be

     

    The fact that it's with Jack makes me think it's NFR or Taylor related, but ... maybe.

     

    I would be surprised if she did back-to-back albums with Jack, especially when the first one hasn't even dropped and nobody knows how it will be received.

    who is taylor's usual producer? has she worked with Jack before?

    okay i need some feedback

     

    i want to discuss Lana's evolution as an artist and person and what we think her future holds

     

    i wanna analyze her kinda because im interested in what her mind is like, like what she values, her own views on herself, ya know

     

    is there a specific thread that this would fit in (not a broad thread on like what people think of her song lyrics)

    i'm fairly new here so i'd like to know if this sounds like a good thread idea

    NFR will only be available on encrypted floppy disks scattered among LA. There will be exactly eight copies, all labelled "cha cha matcha" written in pink glitter pen on the sticker. The plan was to make more copies but Lana got tired between doing that and hand binding her poetry books. The way to access the files is leaked three years later by the Tumblr blog that leaked a bunch of songs recently. The files are found to be only in 128kbps.

    What ever happened to that  "$1 poetry book" ? she said she wanted to release it before NFR

     

    If NFR is coming late summer/early autumn, Violets bent ass backwards should be arriving soon, right?

    Paradise Edition: (these may not be unpopular, i'm just saying my opinion)

     

    • umm how was American not scrapped? the lyrics and vocals just sound so bad to me. seems like a filler song
    • Blue Velvet was bland and boring, emotionless.
    • most of Ride feels static. Next.
    • Lana's performance of Body Electric live at the 2012 iTunes Festival is incredible. One of my favorite live recordings of her. The strings, just beautiful.
    • We can all agree that AKA Yayo is better
    • The sound of the children playing in Bel Air feels pure and I feel like all my troubles disappear when I hear it
    • Born to Die and Paradise are so over-produced and heavy, I would love the album so much more if it was stripped down, closer to the demo versions. It sounds so overly-refined and that SHOUTING SOUND IS SO ANNOYING OH MY GOD ITS EMBARRASSING. That's why her unreleased music appeals to me so much because usually it's stripped down and more raw.

    I'm positive this has been mentioned a while back but could 'are you ready for it?' hint towards a Taylor Swift collab? I think NFR won't have any contributing artists, but Lana may feat. on one of her songs? especially since Swift is coming out with new music?? and ya know the ariana/miley/katy collab rumors are all pop so the demographic fits???

     

    I 100% believe 'are you ready for it' is about her future and is very personal to her, but it could work as a double maybe.
