she’s gonna walk out to the Judah Smith interlude 

I don’t think anybody with Lana’s catalog can have a setlist that satisfies everyone unless you’re Taylor and have 3 hours to perform.

Yeah, I wish she wouldn’t perform that many BTD songs but they’re her most well known and more importantly, uptempo ones.

when was this why didnt i see this anywhere? 

It’s on @zachary_dawes instagram 

she’s going to use the visuals for her upcoming shows 

The Angelina snippet in Peppers is sloppy. You can hear Tommy singing “I’mma chew ..” and then it cuts off then the overanalyzers on TikTok thinks it’s genius because peppers make people sneeze  

It’s gonna have piano and strings like Thunder 😵‍💫

“Let the light in” is a lyrical motif to address all the haters in Spain who told her “Lizzy, apaga la luz” 

2/2 times I got a cracked CD case from the web store 😪 I think this is my local USPS’s fault or some packaging choice. Amazon doesn’t do this. 

Title track still hits, even more so after the entire album is released 

How do you cancel an order? I see that they restocked the alt CD’s and I’d rather have those than the vinyl. 
 

The white CD cover is the one with alt booklet art right?

i'm not sure why it says that on genius since there's not really evidence she's talking about that specific mausoleum  it's an interesting thought but if you google "rhode island mausoleum" it's the just first result to come up

 

mausoleums are often the burial place of an entire family / group of family members, so i just interpret the lyric as contemplating familial deaths

yeah she wouldn’t put her family in an abandoned mausoleum. i think it’s really interesting that Rhode Island came up as a place as we’ve always known her as a California girl who’s run away from New York. 

I read that the Rhode Island mausoleum Lana references in Fingertips is real and is in disrepair/abandoned, similar to the tunnel under Ocean Blvd. But I can also see the mausoleum being a private family thing

Much to analyze about that connection

Is Uncle Dave the one who taught her the six basic guitar chords that sparked her music career? If he is, I think it puts a lot of the lore in place.

 

I think she only has 2 uncles where the other one helped her with getting into Kent

Actually I take most of this back. She has two uncles by blood but she has aunts who probably are married

Margaret would be another Lana del Rey wedding song (like Young & Beautiful) if they took out some parts 

tw: talking about uncle dave 

Parts of the Grandfather melody reminds me of Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks (“swans are a-swimming”) by The National ??

This album put me in a writer mood 

Don’t know where to rank it. Probably high-mid

With the drive-by lyric,

 

  Hide contents

Is it referring to her being r*ped or her trying to commit suicide? I've seen both interpretations but I'm really starting to think it's the latter. 

 

I think it’s the latter too. Especially she since put “but it’s not your time” in the same verse

I spent part of my first listen wondering how Anthony Fantano would review this. I’m so fucking stupid 

I have no idea what this song mesns

Wait for Life got taken off streaming 

I can see her lines of thought on this album. 

The Grants - opener, revealing her inner self (if you think the name Lana del Rey is a persona) 

Title track - touches upon Sean because she was so heartbroken after that breakup but overall she yearns for love from someone who won’t throw her away 

Sweet - it’s about Sean in the way that his new wife is a basic bitch. Lana describes what she thinks love is like day to day. 

A&W - we know this one

Judah Smith Interlude - goes in on adultery, starts the thread of religion. See also gospel-inspired opening track. 

Candy Necklace - ??? no clue what candy necklaces are a metaphor for here ???

Jon Batiste Interlude - reminds me of Pentecostal churches and how people start speaking in tongues so I thought this was about religion too. 

Kintsugi - opens about her extended family. Lana actually explained the background of this song in detail (a rarity from her) in that Rolling Stone interview. Her extended family are a whole bunch of singers, showing that she never really moved that far away from her roots. “let the light in” motif 

Fingertips - her personal history, darkest song ever

The beat in Fishtail reminds me of a Lonely Island song. Help
