Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off
 
She's visiting a poetic realm here I think.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion: I hate Love.
 
I hate her voice in it, the words, melodies, the vibe... It puts me in an agitated mindset that it's the opposite of what I feel when I listen to her other songs.
 
I can't even listen to the demo. The instrumental is more bearable, but as soon as she starts singing, I want it to stop

hopefully not some pink nippled white man who looks like the devils advocate in every freshman poli-sci course jesus fuck

Rock Candy Sweet is sending my imagination just like White Hot Forever did when it was announced. 
 
Manifesting psychedelic rock with undertones of dream pop.
A whole album of Shades of Cool x TJF I think 

the way y’all don’t know who she is while she is literally on the cover of COCC is the reason why it’s a bad album cover and will always be

...who needs a new cocktail now 

Changing the world...put it into perspective she's a singer not a surgeon or any profession that changes the world/saves lives/etc.

about to start flowers in the attic!!! anyone read it ?

Girl, what changed about the world with your album cover? I think she's going full delulu. Take her phone away!!!!

I'm literally changing the world"
by putting your friends on your cover?????
plsss I can't she's so delusional sometimes

Remember when Lana was asked how she would respond to haters and she said, "I would say nothing"? Good times. That was one of the things I used to admire about her.

i'll just leave this here 

Although now iconic and instrumental in imparting 'Lana Del Rey' in the public's consciousness, in retrospect I find most of her work with Nicole Nodland somewhat corny and heavy handed and I would not be all that excited to see them collab again

"I had fifteen-year dances
Church basement romances yeah I've cried
Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums is the only love I've ever known
Except for the stage which I also call home when I'm not
Serving up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad
Hello it's most famous woman you know on the iPad
Calling from beyond the grave I just wanna say "Hi Dad""
 
hits different  

All of her work after 2015 feels uninspired to me and I rarely listen to her albums now. I’ve overplayed  her renaissance period to death(hopefully I can revisit them soon) -I hope I like Chemtrails as let me love you like a woman did nothing for me.

I read a review of Ultraviolence when it came out that talked about the album cover looking like Lana being a patient that escaped a psych ward (and all the songs were stories she made up). Does anyone know what review that was / can link me to it? 

charlie can understand lana way better than chuck, im here for him.

Been an LB lerker from Reddit but after the video was posted yesterday I had so many thoughts I needed to share!
 
I think the Grey Gardens vibes is an aesthetic preview! I think the video was intended to be a kitschy/satirical play on that documentary (as opposed to some people saying it seemed weird/sad). Grey Gardens is about two lost cousins of Jackie Kennedy living in poverty (literally hidden in a decaying house surrounded by rich folk of the Hamptons)! She even calls Jack “Little Edie,” a person from the documentary, in one of her captions. I think it could possibly be a hint of the COTCC aesthetic, like focusing on the run-down area or decay around a nice country club (i.e. those who are only able to see the chemtrails over it and will never be invited inside). Which is maybe why she’s referencing Midwestern states like Arkansas in her sound and vibe and saying the record feels very Midwestern. It would be a throwback to her trailer park and “Queen of the Gas Station” kitschy glamor vibes !!!!! WE ARE  *L I V I N G* ~

Also, singing about the people who will never be in the country club but can see the chemtrails over it kind of parallels what she‘s been saying about dying an underdog (cough cough fruitless Grammy noms), or acting the same way as other artists but not being accepted in the same way, etc (her question for the culture ideas)
