I’m so conflicted internally because I’m super excited for the poetry and have said before how much I can’t wait for it...
 
but..
 
I really wish she would have at least let COTCC have its moment. Violet took over during NFR, she (finally) rolled it out after announcing Chemtrails, and now she’s mentioning her new book before the COTCC era even starts like 
 
Her OG release date for BTIG was March so I can see it coming around then (especially if she’s finishing it up now) and I can’t wait to see how it ties into Chemtrails but just once it’d be nice to have a solid rollout without another project being brought up 

 
okay, meltdown over 

Lana's "I'll be gone for a while" post has the same energy as a stan account on Twitter who got exposed being a toxic person in a groupchat, got cancelled and decided to 'take a break' from Twitter until further notice

I agree! I’m sure there’s some kind of pressure, but at the same time I feel like it’s a gray area to tell an artist when something has to be out and would risk having the project being rushed (though that’s probably not the case here since she’s (probably) in the final stages now of getting the work to flow)
 
I’m trying to be positive but this really put a damper on my hype..how you about to drop the video and a preorder and announce beforehand that you’re about to disappear....

I'm so excited for Iron Gates  Violet was amazing and the production was just next level and Iron Gates already seems to be an elevated version of Violet. The surfy dreamy heaven that was in Patent Leather was just  I really need that production to keep up throughout the rest of the audiobook. A masterpiece before its even out , I cannot wait to sit through months of prerelease and no news for this after COCC's out 

totally agree, "patent leather do over" is magnificent and i can't wait to see how her writing as developed since the poems in violet (some of which are def a few years old). i am HIGH KEY excited and here for any of lana's poetry stans to get hype with!

she's gone and going to gone again 

i don't blame her for wanting to take a step back out of the spotlight and social media after all the work she's been doing with cocc and it'll probably be a big release but i just wish she would've waited at least the day after it was released to say all this, it's good her poetry makes her so happy but can she just focus on one thing at a time

not when COCC is probably gonna be her last big budget era that she puts effort into cause she never wants to do it again 

 

i hate this bvtch i hate her...
 
dreading to think what a 'while' is to her if 'coming soon' means months and months

I'm excited too but she's making me be bittersweet with these failed promises and silences  (ok im done with breaking down)

I agree! I’m sure there’s some kind of pressure, but at the same time I feel like it’s a gray area to tell an artist when something has to be out and would risk having the project being rushed (though that’s probably not the case here since she’s (probably) in the final stages now of getting the work to flow)
 
I’m trying to be positive but this really put a damper on my hype..how you about to drop the video and a preorder and announce beforehand that you’re about to disappear....

waiting for her to replace the battery in her smoke detector 

she BEEN gone what does she mean she's gonna be gone 

I hope "for a while" only means 5 days and 6 midnights 

Yep. If she posts another set of three tomorrow, i'll be convinced that she's posting until the pre-order and then will disappear.

well.....
 
I said she’d be silent again, I didn’t expect to be taken so literally 
 
Maybe Chemtrails album is dropping next Friday! That way it’s released and she doesn’t have to worry about it and can move on to the book

Didn't she say that Chemtrails is somewhat inspired/related to Violet? Maybe this has something to do with that. It is very interesting that she posted another set of three. 

She’s gonna give me fucking trust issues and separation anxiety for the rest of my motherfucking miserable life damn 

"I'll be gone for a while" what's new? Isn't she always disappearing?
 
Hope this doesn't mean COCC's release hijacked because of yet ANOTHER poetry book... 

screaming    maybe iron gates and cocc album will be released closer together and be more connected so it makes sense to fully develop both...
anyways im desperate

Sincerely don’t want to get dragged for this, but I’m lowkey excited for the next book! 
 
From her description, Violet seemed to be a collection of both old and new poems, and I think Behind the Iron Gates reflects more recent, matured writing. Patent Leather Do-Over honestly blew me away (especially the middle chunk of it), and I’m truthfully way more excited about this project than I was Violet!

the fact that she’s warning about disappearing right before a single and album drops 

she left us hanging on release day for 2 separate album release dates in a row, we still dont have either album and now she's gonna be "gone for a while" to compile poetry I CANT.......... 

and you also know it will be a waste of your time because she will ghost us

“i’ll be gone for a while”. did she forget or.....??

I always love the feeling of when she starts to post more consecutively on the days leading up to her formal album announcements!  this kind of momentum is what makes the pre-release fun and it’s a gift to be able to share it with you all! <3
