Swan Song

oh mY FUCkkindGH GOD uI JUst woke up and hbtb saved my life
 
 
me rn 

 
 

havent listened but have read peoples opinions for the past 10 mins so fuck myself

Bopping in my bed lmfao

I agree, it's like she's taken the best elements from all her works (except her amazing lyricism, which was thrown off the boat around the time of UV  ) and merged them into a powerhouse song.

I haven't cried like this in ten years it's so much better than what I could have imagined, life anthem, I will never unstan I don't know why I never trust her 100% because she saves my worthless life all the time. I'm extremely emotional idgaf this song is everything and it's so fresh I love her more than anything

the lyrics in this aren't her best work but I really love all the throwbacks to previous songs, some show how much she's grown and others show how consistent she is:
 
Hawaiian Tropic: "Baby you can't come back from being that bad"
HBTB: "Everyone can start again, not through love but through revenge"
 
PMIAM: "Lights camera accion, you know I can't make it on my own"
HBTB: "Lights camera accion, I'll do it on my own"
 
Ultraviolence: "We could go back to New York, loving you is really hard"
HBTB: "Loving you is hard, being here is harder"
 
Hit and Run: "Watching me, watching you"
HBTB: "Looking at you looking at me"
 
Pawn Shop Blues: "I can do this once more"
HBTB: "I don't wanna do this anymore"
 
Break My Fall: "Do you really think I'll buy your bullshit, boy?"
HBTB: "The truth is I never bought into your bullshit"
 
Daddy Issues: "I need your kiss to survive"
HBTB: "I can't survive"

also i just realised how much she references her past works + all three albums in the track and it's honestly so amazing. 
 
Loving you is hard, being here is harder - Florida Kilos [ultraviolence]
All I wanna do is get high by the beach - pretty much all her songs LOL but particularly Born to Die [born to Die]
Get high baby baby, bye bye - West Coast [ultraviolence]
The truth is/I never bought into your bullshit - Break My Fall [unreleased]
Lights, camera, accion/I can do it on my own - (one of the song's best lines) Put Me In A Movie [Lana Del Ray]
 
it's just such a clever song and i love it.

why do i find this so funny

All I wanna do is get high by the beach, get high by the beach
 

i get why some people think the production comes off as somewhat amateurish, but i actually view it is a step towards a more commercial sound. not that that's a bad thing by any means, this single just seems so much more primed to be a single than any other single in recent memory.

(Verse)
Boy, look at you looking at me
I know you know how I feel
Loving you is hard, being here is harder
You take the wheel
I don't wanna do this anymore
It's so surreal
I can't survive if this is all that's real
 
(Chorus)
All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high by the beach, get high
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye, bye
The truth is I never bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
'Cause I knew that
All I wanted do was get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye, bye
 
(Verse 2)
Boy, look at you looking at me
I know you don't understand
You could be a bad motherfucker
But that don't make you a man
Now you're just another one of my problems
Because you got out of hand
We won't survive, we're sinking into the sand
 
(Chorus)
All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high by the beach, get high
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye, bye
The truth is I never bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
'Cause I knew that
All I wanted to do was get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye, bye
 
(Bridge)
Lights, camera, acción
I'll do it on my own
Don't need your money, money to get me what I want
Lights, camera, acción
I'll do it on my own
Don't need your money, money to get me what I want
 
(Chorus)
All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high by the beach, get high
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye, bye
The truth is I never bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
'Cause I knew that
All I wanted to do was get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye, bye
 
High, high
High, high
 
(Outro)
Anyone can start again
Not through love but through revenge
Through the fire we're born again
Peace by vengeance brings the end

Loving this concept

After listening to High By the Beach
 

Pop Lana is back, shitting on all haters who said that she was one trick pony.

LIGHTS CAMERA AXIOM
 

I'm happy about how the snippet sounds tbh, if it sounded slower or more like Honeymoon everyone here would have freaked out

Nooooooooo
We were doing so well, too.

omg! This is super interesting. Love when things like this happen 

I'm so glad it didn't leak, I've just read the last 6 pages and thought 'on the next page someone is going to leak it, please god, no'
This twitter site has the song, and they've just removed a post that said 'Favorite if I should leak the song, RT if I shouldn't.
They're also teasing the lyrics. I swear to God if someone from twitter or tumblr leaks it I am going to go insane.
But I doubt a leak 2 days before the song came out would make her cancel it from the album? Especially if it is the lead/first single?

me checking lanaboards after waking up from a nap

Honestly, no one with any knowledge of the song should have shared any details, it's a domino effect and people start competing for relevance and then *this* happens.
 
I really, really, really appreciate people wanting to share what they know, but for fuck's sake, save it for the older, unreleased stuff. Lana has been consistent with sharing the news about Honeymoon when there's a green light. This wasn't like BB, JFK, Starry Eyed or AFFA where we had no full context of what or when to expect it. Three. Days.
 
Come on.
