    Cocoa puff is a drug reference.

    I feel the opposite. Listening over and over to A&W, I've come to the conclusion that Lana has for the greater part of her released material been writing just about herself. I don't mean that the songs are true stories of her life, I mean that she has emotionally only been expressing her own feelings, and not thinking about whether the listener can relate. (On that, she's on the right track, because many listeners are so shallow, I've heard reactors/reviewers say things like "I can't relate to this song because I've never been to LA." If that was what I was dealing with as an artist, I'd ignore everyone else as well.)
    I think with Lust For Life, she tried to universalise and make her songs about the general condition - that's what she actually meant when she talked about doing 'one for the fans'. Even then, a big part of the record was entirely about her, but fans thought she mean that she was going to go back to doing non stop bops, and were disappointed with the record. Since then, she's become more and more insular in her writing (NFR, Violet, Chemtrails, BB), and is not trying to write about the general human condition, except where it coincides with her own life. The two singles from this album show no sign at all of diverging from this.

    I haven’t listened to A&W in almost 24 hours. Needed to give myself a break, but the lyrics are still in my head. I haven’t felt this way about a song in a long time. I know I’m in the minority when I say I enjoyed both BB and Chemtrails albums, but it floors me how this woman is so talented to keep producing straight up top notch quality work. I literally can’t think of any other artist where I like 95% of their songs and continue to feel connected to the music after all these years. She’s incredible.

    The okay in the middle of A&W just ends me.
