Shades

Snow White is Lana trying to distract us with her poetry, and were all the little girl who is done with her bullshit
 

An album full of Venice Bitches (except they dont need to be 9 mins long) would make me restan so hard

I'm getting a manic-depressive vibe from some of her recent posts, which may just mean snippet tactics shouldn't be applied to poems, as it just exacerbates the ambiguity she usually puts in her work. If she wants us to react to what she does, here's what I got:   "You can have a life beyond your wildest dreams
  all you have to do is change everything"   On the upside this does seem to say something opposite to Hillsong (TV is my reference), where you might expect to hear (ad naseum) just surrender yourself to Christ and everything will change (for the better). Here (I will optimistically assume) she puts the onus of change's effect on the change itself. On the downside, her statement also implies that everything is wrong. Her writing things with different colors doesn't help me impute any seriousness to her thoughts, which may have been intentional on her part (even if it's, in fact, unintentional). On the third hand, she could just be posing a tautology; if you change everything it's incomprehensible.   "I measure time by the days I've spent away from you
that thought occurred to me
as I watched the sky go dark from blue"   OK, so Neil Young has it "out of the blue and into the black", Get free has it "out of the black and into the blue", now we're back to Neil's more pessimistic view, and she also says "It comes in waves". That would be the manic-depressive vibe. The philosophical pessimist in me also resonated with the idea that people do, in fact, measure time by the days (well years) they've spent away from their birth. Need the rest of the poem (if there is some) to know precisely what she's getting at here (mother?, philosophical pessimism?, absent lover?).   While I like the "Borg-collective" imagery she's been using of late, I can't map it into a good thing (part of the change that changes everything) or a bad thing. The upside is that she may be a trekkie in some sense (which is a potentially religion-neutral, homophillic, and pro-technology position); the downside is she's being assimilated by something and the imagery expresses some kind of fear.   Happy Easter!

u also know what else is out of 2014? a goddamn album, ezliabethian woolridgium granular

Ohp forgive me, your Honor. Between the two of you witholding so many leaks its easy to get confused
 

Old LDR would honestly hate new LDR

It really does; I just listened. Everyone always acts like Jack is such a genius but I'd personally never trust anyone who dated Lena Dunham.

I agree she didn’t change her entire career course due to a feud with Lorde, Gordon’s comments and the backlash after she made the “feminism just isn’t an interesting concept “ comments. I think it was a lot of things coming one after another, including, yes, the fact that the maintenance and effort to remain slim, youthful, stylish and photogenic had to be very exhausting, especially as her fame grew and paparazzi started chasing her on two continents at all hours. While ‘Hope’ has already given us a clear statement on the subject, we’ll know which direction she’s heading once we see the final NFR cover and sleeve art.
 
For me, the “crack another beer” lyric from HTD doesn’t suggest the sophisticated LDR of Paradise, but a much more earthy, unadorned persona, one comfortable singing from a working class POV and about ‘blue collar’ concerns, a la Springsteen and Billy Joel. The plain photo of her sitting on the side of the highway supports that too.

she writes poetry like i type on lanaboards
 
im filing a fucking lawsuit

it's at the point where when i get an insta notification for her i'm like...huh...guess i'll check it later if i have time

Girrrrrl have you got 3 hours? Haha

For the sanity of everyone on this forum, please close this thread already until we get information 

Listen to Last Lullaby now

also how did i not realise other Cat stans existed 

hillsong or churchome or whatever it is, that shit is weird and she's fully become an la weirdo, lana there's still time we can go back to new york loving you was really hard
 
I feel like those white sorority friends got her into this weird LA jesus is super cool and vegan cult thing they were probably like "omg lanz it's the latest thing it's just so cool and like u get to drink matcha while u talk about how cool jesus is! they even have fermented cucumber water!"

Probably next year

You can't expect people to pretend to like the snippet though. Am I glad she shared it with us? Yes. But do I like the snippet? Meh, not really. I can't speak for everyone else though, but not everyone likes it. It's sad but true.

this era is a disaster

these are literal rap lyrics I wrote when I was 19 lol bye

I think it sounds like in your car

I don't like it. Can she come up with something else?

Let's just say she was smart to turn those comments off.

Florida Kilos is straight up a contender for her best song of all time. If Lana is the queen of sad, surfy, nostalgic, drugged up euphoric summer jams, this is her fucking MAGNUM OPUS.
 
COME ON DOWN TO FLORIDA, I GOT SOMETHIN FOR YA
 
and that instrumental, I mean jeeze if you don’t think it’s one of her best moments, y’all lying
High by the beach & summer bummer W I S H they had what Florida Kilos has

I nearly threw up.

Venice Bitch has been found dead

Holy shit this song makes me want to dive off a bridge in some sultry black cape. THE STRINGS! Very James Bond-esque. I did get Cruel World or even like Tropico vibes from this, which is a good thing damn. It also does feel like a direct extension of Night Time, My Time the song, but matured. It’s like we started back right where we left off. This just feels... bigger than her previous music. Like it’s more grandiose. I’m so excited guys. I can’t wait to listen 400 times more.
