Mafiosa

this is my favorite song of all time, it's really special to me. i'd like to share my own personal meaning that i connect to this song, which is part of what makes it so magical for me. you don't have to agree, it's just my perspective. pin up galore is generally about the female pin up archetype. it's a heart wrenching and melancholy tale told from the perspective of a pin up; lana is putting herself in the place of one of these women, as part of the pin up lives in every woman. she can empathize in a way, and she feels connected to a bygone era of glamour. these girls exist to entertain others: crowds, men, america - the world. lana invokes strong americana imagery to take you back to the height of the pin up era - the 40s in particular. they thrive off of the screams and cheers, it makes them feel alive. when she sings about becoming someone "not of this world," this is where she gets into the dehumanizing aspect of it. these beautiful women have dedicated their lives to pleasing others. eventually it gets extremely numbing and you can't even feel anything but a disconnect. the "monster" line is even more illustrative of this concept; she can't even recognize herself anymore after fame. "prizes, prizes a diamond tiara / here's to the girl with the blue mascara" this feeds more into the beauty queen archetype, but it's still the same idea. just more imagery to invoke the obsession with glamour and materialism. girls are lauded for their appearances and must appeal to men. "i have a disco ball mind" "i wanna die" is really just going into detail about the mental state that she's in. her mind has become reflective, she can see the lights from the cameras, from the stage. her brain has been replaced with thoughts of performance. she can't handle it anymore, she wants to die, she wants to die. lana can connect to pin up girls like marilyn. in the early stages of her career, singing at open mics, she felt empty performing night after night with little success. the only thing that kept her going was her own passion and will. she didn't want to conform to how other people saw her or wanted her to be. lol this wasn't supposed to come off as being super feminist-y, just how i see the song and connect with it curious to see what other people think, as this is such a rich and dark song!

honeymoon for me the production is really consistent and does just the right amount to enhance the tracks and her vocals! really good use of space uv has great production too but honeymoon is just super polished

the more i listen to "white mustang" the more i think it's a euphemism for dick gives me serious "little red corvette" vibes

i feel the exact same way
