The way I SCREAMED at this I like that Lana went lower with her voice and kind of slurred the very Taylor lyrics to make it more her own. Love the humming too.

I wondered if they meant the unreleased 2010 song Daddy Issues, cuz that’s pretty obscure and the title isn’t actually in the lyrics, or her singing the Neighbourhood song with that title live?

I had thought of the title as a metaphor for drugs ("I like my candy", etc) but the video visual metaphor is better... "candy" as in "decorate my neck, diamontes, ices" making her into "arm candy" for the creepy old man producer/murderer... he reminds me of George Hodel, the Black Dahlia suspect I personally find most likely...plus her walking through the gallery of surrealist art is probably a reference to him, as he collected it and was friends with surrealist artists...a scary but compelling theory is that the way Elizaborth Short was murdered was meant to replicate certain surrealist images. Article here if interested: https://livpasquarelli.medium.com/the-bizarre-connection-between-surrealist-art-and-the-black-dahlia-murder-2d0d5258bd39 I'm a true crime ho, sorry not sorry ANYWAY, I think this is brilliant--at first I was frustrated not to see the "whole" video (like a polished narrative version), but then I realized that's the point; there is no narrative video. People were already criticizing Lana for "glamorizing" the Black Dahlia, so she completely subverted it by not filming a literal recreation of BD's tragic death, but instead showing the behind the scenes of glamorous women (including her own LDR persona) who are so much more than their image.

And then there’s Donoghue (at the Lakers game)…

But also, Lizzy, is that you??

The original Jimmy/Shimmy coco-butt or whatever it actually is!

"Got your Biiiiiiiible, got your gun" meets Terrance Loves You

Actually, after listening with headphones, I think this IS right, and someone on the leak thread said it's from the guy's perspective, what he's saying to her. Which makes total sense. In fact, if you put "He said" or something like that in front of "I think you're crazy, bitch, but purely musical" the whole song suddenly makes way more sense.

I was mentally connecting her homage to Elizabeth Short with the part of Get Free where she sings about “I’m doin’ it for all of us” like Amy and Whitney and “all the birds of paradise who never got to fly” bc she could’ve died like them but didn’t.

I’m thankful for Peppers because almost all the other songs make me cry or feel really depressed (but I love them; that’s not a criticism; this is just a major melancholia album for me). Like, even grooving with A&W and then noticing the sample of strings from NFR, I suddenly made the connection, instead of “one dream, one life, one lover,” she’s given up and “it’s not about finding someone to love me anymore” and I was crying again. So anyway! Yay for Peppers being all sassy and giving me a break.

I assume it's about cocaine, right?? "I'm obsessed with his candy necklaces" as in "I like my candy, and your heroin." Picturing the (in)famous coke spoon necklace.
