I don't think being submissive is anti-feminist at all. I don't think Lana is a feminist nor is she an anti-feminist. She just does what she wants or was taught to do and that's apparently letting the man be the boss, look pretty and be horny all of the time.
 
I really don't think that "as a girl, that hurts" line is too bad. I'd be hurt too, if people would be saying I look plastic or ugly or whatnot. Girls are taught by everyone and everything (parents, friends, media etc.) that they have to be pretty to make it in life and to be accepted, boys aren't.

I hated Black Swan, watching Natalie Portman trying to show emotions was painful. And I know that everyone absolutely loves Black Swan but I just don't understand why.

How do you like me now?

I know your wife and she's a really nice lady

Take your body into the shower and clean yourself before you go downtown tonight.
 
You can be the boss friendly co-worker to help me finish a task.
 
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine. You tell me to cover myself up so I don't look like a harlot.

Never lying to herself, because lying is a sin

Fucking in the back yard
Fucking in your fast car
Yelling out my name
 
Fucking with a beer
Fucking over here
Play your rodeo games
 
There goes my favourite sun dress
I'm already undressed
Take your dick to brown town
 

The opposite of this thread.
Get songs from Born To Die and make them DIRTY.
 
Lick me out and take me like a vitamin cause my pussy's sweet like sugar venom fuck yeah.
 
Let me fuck you hard in the pouring rain you like the bondage pain.
 
My old man is a bad man but I can't deny the way he holds my hair and he fucks me

in terms of skill, composition, and originality "Video Games" is her best song. "Born To Die" comes in second. National Anthem and blue jeans have a pop chord progression that have been used in literally thousands of songs.

She better fucking win, thank god Adele hasn't released anything new

What? Things are 'submitted?' O _ O In my naivete, I always thought they looked at all the music released in any given period.

I think anyone would be hurt if their looks were publicly scrutinized like hers are, so it's not entirely a female issue and maybe she was wrong in that. But do I think the addition of those three words really sets back any progression or feminist thinking? No.
 
But is it not safe to say that girls' looks are bigger factors career-wise than boys' looks? Their looks are viewed more harshly, and beauty is more valued when it comes to women. So that's not uncommon ideals. Is she a progressive, individualistic thinker in that area? Obviously not. But again, I just don't see it as anti-feminist.

Sexual lyrics have always been in Lizzy and Lana lyrics but in the Paradise Edition it just seems sloppily done. Gods & Monsters was beautiful with the 1st snippet but once the longer 1:30 snippet came out it sounds like she just casually threw in the "fucked hard" part. Kinda ruined the "deeper, self-realization, tragic life" vibe I was expecting from it.
Also:
Completely agree with anyone saying that the pussy lyrics in Cola are done for shock value....ever since Lana released the snippet video those are the only lyrics many of people have really gravitated towards (I should add it's mostly the younger kids -13-15- age groups). All over twitter & tumblr those pepsi cola pussy lyrics are plastered over every Lana picture/gif *sigh*
Yayo & Body Electric sound overproduced on PE. I adore YAYO LDRAKALG version & Body Electric live so I guess I'll just stick with those~
 
All of my negativity aside, I am loving Bel Air & American. I'm shocked many have said they hated Bel Air...it sounds so cinematic & nostalgic <3 I get all those chills I got back when I first heard Born to Die
 
I don't think Paradise Edition will come even close to the brilliance that it BTD as a whole but I am grateful for any new music coming from Lana. I really think her writing style is evolving, maybe not exactly how I would have expected to, but it is changing imo.

On the negative side: These are just my opinions, not trying to be a bitch/downer or whatever. Cola is...stupid. And God and Monsters seems like Radio 2.0, like let's see how many times I can say fuck to prove my gangsta Nancy Sinatra swag. They seem like they're just sexual for the shock value. Like, I know your wife and she wouldn't mind, I'm looking to get fucked hard...really. Those lyrics don't really come across to me as an intelligent woman exploring her gender and sexuality in deep beautiful ways like some people have been saying to me.
 
On the neutral side: Body Electric seems okay, if a little edited. I love the production, I just hope her vocals are better when the final version comes out. Yayo is Yayo, I think it's fine in any incarnation.
 
On the positive side: American is pretty cute. Ride, Burning Desire, and Blue Velvet are great, even if they've already been released. BEL AIR IS HEAVEN OMG IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL I WANT TO CRY. It's like a creepy Silent Night. This is the Lana I fell in love with.

Certainly not acting.
