Regarding Lana being Cuban... I don't know why it's so hard for Lana fans to accept the fact that Lana is an Artist and uses her 'Artistic License' in writing most of her lyrics. Do you really think she was a prostitute in Nevada or that she burned a house down, or that she murdered her boyfriend and stuck him in a trunk? Just because she sings "He's crazy y Cubano como yo" does not mean that she's Cuban, it means she is using Artistic License to tell a story that's not even necessarily about herself.
 
Not everything she writes is autobiographical nor does it have to be. She even said in Prom Song that she likes to "make up stories about my life and put on very cherry balm" but even that could be a part of the story for all we know. Like Lana's tat says: "Trust No One" ...Even Ms. Del Rey herself.
 
It reminds me of when I started listening to Tori Amos at a young age and I didn't connect the fact that Tori was telling a story with her lyrics and that she didn't actually experience certain things she described in her songs. I was just too young to grasp the concept at the age of 11 that someone would make up stories and sing about them.
 
For example: Me and a Gun vs Professional Widow or Mr. Zebra. Me and a Gun is based on her real life experience being raped at knife point (Even Tori used her Artistic License to change details in a real story for the benefit of the song), where Professional Widow is about having power over a man and convincing him to commit suicide through his addiction. Mr. Zebra is about a woman poisoning a man through food. Both the last two songs I mentioned are notoriously known for potentially being written from the perspective of Courtney Love killing Kurt Cobain, though Tori has never confirmed or denied it. (Tori and Kurt were friends way back when). Again, Artistic License. Tori didn't actually poison someone or convince them to OD.
 
Tori is also really awesome at describing almost every song she has written and telling fans what it's really about or how she came up with certain lyrics. There's whole websites devoted to Tori's song meanings and what she has said about each one. Love her for that! I only wish Lana did the same instead of being so cryptic, but that's part of what makes her so enigmatic. 

Omg did you guys watch Selling Sunset on Netflix? There’s this scene where Christine Quinn (real estate agent for those who don’t know) puts on an open house event themed Burgers and Botox to sell a home, and she got custom labels that say “Qinn n Out” on the food. It would be so cute if Lana did something similar where she hosted a burger truck event and handed out burgers for the girlies and she relives her waitressing days 
 

 

uh helloooooo  new merch. stack vinyls to make a burger obviously I'll take one burger! thank you  #burgercandysweet

WELL..... let the clownery commence ? 

Embrace the chaotic energy of this era 
 
 

I just fucking LOST IT during a Zoom call 

I'm happy the album's out tomorrow but this era has been such a let down  

The way I know for a fact that “no, lana had blue almond 1,46 inch nails at the time” came from me and ONLY me 

I'm so pissed. I preordered the Target edition and it says it is due to get here APRIL 19th. A whole month later! Wtf is the point of preordering when I could have gone to the store and bought it now before it's even released?

yes 

The necklace has me crying

we r 2 days away till everythings over so many painful and beautiful memories. I found this delusion picture i made back in december and added few newer meltdowns

same energy like when y’all thought "contemplating at costco the santa clarita fires" would be a song on cocc 

When she posted the clip, I was like OMG they must be going crazy for this on lanaboards!   Then I remembered the album leaked and y’all have already heard White Dress 

okay i gave in and listened to the WD song teaser.. from that snippet alone, i can see why everyone was praising it. i just know this song is gonna slaughter me. almost 3 days!! 

since when does she say album instead of record ? 

Is it me or does she seem kinda pissed off from that caption? I’m thinking that she knows the album leaked, obviously.

yes yes yes to WD amazing yes  get ready to feel get ready  it's like a slice of HEAVEN 

so now that we all heard it, we can all agree that the intro has one of the best melodies she came up with
and she improvised it

PLUS I think the fade in fade out is literally her reminiscing about the past. She looks like she’s imagining the scene of “her” roller skating 

I have an air bnb booked w a hot tub overlooking a big wild field of grass next to the woods and I’m spending the weekend there with a cute boy but we won’t be there til the 20th and I’m saving my first listen for the hot tub at night… the torture. 

manifesting she meant this would be her last post before the album comes out 

I'm ready.
