I wonder if we'll get a different second outfit this time

"Boo, you American whore"

Also, not her bringing her vape to the indigenous village

This is iconic, I love these pictures

The more I think about this...the more I think this "visualizer" is the video itself. "going to be giving meta black dahlia with a where do we go from here ending" what is more meta black dahlia than an artist's work being cut short before it could be realized? if this was the full/only video to be released it would tie in with the life of the black dahlia being cut short before she got to release films, etc. as far as the "where do we go from here ending" - are we living it already by wondering and hoping for a video that is never going to come? perhaps her statement at the end: "in case they said I never did anything, I did. I stood here and I sang it" could be a parallel to people dismissing the black dahlia as being a true actress because she didn't have recognizable credits? Because she unfortunately never got the chance to live long enough and continue pursuing her dreams? I may be reading into things way too much, and I will admit that I don't know much about the black dahlia. Just what I read on Wikipedia along with general cultural knowledge. I look forward to a full video if one comes; however, Lana really is quite poetic and philosophical and I would not be shocked if this visualizer was the full story she wishes to tell here. I hope that makes sense edit to add: is this what BOZ can't talk about till 2025

these pop-up lines are crazyyyyy still hyped tho

Guys, if she says it's Jimmy Jimmy Cocoa Puff, then that's what it is. I really don't see why she'd joke? She has clarified lyrics that fans have asked about before. IMO, it makes 1000% more sense for her to be referencing a Nelly song ("Country Grammar") because it would have been a popular song/was released in 2000 when she was in high school. There is a quote where Lana talks about being 15 years old during boarding school, and her teacher introduced her to hip-hop, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, etc. It's quite likely she was listening to Nelly too. To be fair, cocoa puff is also referencing ko ko bop, just in a more roundabout way. It's like a game of telephone: Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop (Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959) Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Puff (Nelly 2000) Jimmy Jimmy Cocoa Puff (Lana 2023) I'm sorry to be so adamant, but I'm a Cocoa Puff Truther, and I don't think it makes sense to be discounting the answer that came right from Lana's mouth (or keyboard)

@mkultraviolence I really love your analysis, thank you for sharing

Hi all, just want to add a vote for "Jimmy shimmy cocoa puff". I strongly believe Lana is referencing the song "Country Grammar" by Nelly but switching the word "Shimmy" for "Jimmy" (and/or ambiguously switching between the two words). I can completely imagine Lana having had exposure to this song at a formative period in her life (it was released in 2000). As you can see, "Country Grammar" also includes the line "light it up" which appears in A&W as well. The rhythm/melody is quite similar as well. "Country Grammar" Lyrics: Shimmy, shimmy cocoa, what? Listen to it pound Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now *Note: I realize that Nelly's song is likely a reference to the older "Shimmy Shimmy Kokobop" but I think she probably had the Nelly version in mind.

This is giving That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana

Agreed. Also, she is holding so many items - impressive

UGH omg this is literally breaking my heart because I was there yesterday I was there mostly to see Kacey Musgraves (another fave) but I ACTIVELY was keeping my eyes peeled for Lana and went to Nikki Lane's set hoping that she may come... Oh well, I had a great time at the rest of the festival. And tbh whether you like her style or not, Nikki Lane is pretty talented. And her outfit was cute!

If anyone is in LA, a free Lana bag from this pop-up is on Craigslist for local pickup: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/zip/d/los-angeles-lana-del-rey-paper-shopping/7408000769.html

She is literally so adorable, I'm dying

awkward but sweet - it me

i literally love wildflower wildfire

oh interesting, thanks!

Interesting that they started with If You Lie Down but now are going in order

Somewhere I saw the lyrics written as "trade in my new truck for Rollses" and I feel like this might be the correct lyric, since it makes sense in the context of trading one simple vehicle for a fancier car with a prestigious reputation (a Rolls-Royce).

1. The trailer she lived in at the trailer park 2. Her bejewelled bra from the AKA cover 3. Coke necklace 4. The H of the Hollywood sign 5. A handbound copy of Violet Bent Backwards 6. The horse cowboy boots that Miley wants 7. Nikki Lane

Okay so maybe I'm just being extra, but does anyone feel like this part is kind of directly referring to fans/us speculating about her personal story? "Here's the deal (cause I know you want to talk about it) Here's the deal - you say there's gaps to fill, so here Here's the deal - my father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me" Like obviously it's speaking about her past and her family, but the way she says "here's the deal" a bunch of times seems kind of like she's consciously saying "okay, you all have been wondering about this so here you go". And then the way she specifically says "gaps to fill in" reminds me a lot of how people on this board have spoken about the time periods and details of her past that are hard to tie together...maybe I'm reaching, but idk, it shook me

Same is happening to me. If it's like a thing where there is more ad revenue generated to help run the website or something, then I understand. But if it's random it's annoying

Just wanted to share a moment of appreciation for the absolutely beautiful and haunting outro of this song

Wow, that's so nice! Do these emoticons count? This is my fave
