In my head, I feel like Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are kind of two halves of a whole experience. while she said Ultraviolence doesn’t have a specific narrative or through-line, the themes are consistent. It’s an album dripping with depression, heartbreak, drugs, and passion. There are some brighter moments (Brooklyn Baby and West Coast aren’t necessarily dark and broody) but those are just kind of cute songs. As a whole, this album is very dark and moody. It feels like a highlight reel of some of the worst moments in her life: estrangement and breakup with Barrie, abusive relationship in New York, looking back at failed relationships, her bad experiences in the industry, and a dependency on drugs and alcohol throughout. So if we take Ultraviolence as descending to her emotional rock bottom, I look at its follow up Honeymoon as her just kind of dwelling in that rock bottom, if that makes sense. I’m not gonna say she starts to look upward, cause tbh she doesn’t until Lust for Life (which is the whole point of that album). But the protagonist of Honeymoon is definitely a woman who is at her lowest. If Ultraviolence was a summation of her trauma and her sorrow, Honeymoon is her self-medication in their wake. Honeymoon carries similar themes to UV, but presents them almost in the past tense. She’s no longer singing about losing her baby, she’s singing about how she’s living since she’s lost him. He’s already gone. Now, she’s just fantasizing of a honeymoon she’ll never go on, listening to music and daydreaming while she people watches. She just wants to run away from her problems and get high by the beach. She has a new romantic interest, who she just wants to run away with, but the depression is still hovering over her. Despite the temporary highs she describes (drugs, sex, partying), she still feels like she doesn’t matter to anyone, she’s unlovable, and that she has nothing left to live for. so yes that’s my ramble on thematic/narrative connection between Ultraviolence and Honeymoon.

She looked in the mirror

NFR reloaded the re up

Which is interesting cause post-honeymoon she straight up said she wasn’t gonna go deep anyway cause she got ridiculed and embarrassed about it But she does genuinely seem SO different, so I am curious what she’s gonna be saying this time around. I don’t think she’d make an “Ultraviolence” or “pretty when you cry” these days.

I think she’s mad depressed in general right now tbh, but what do I know? Doesn’t she have a show in like Lithuania this month?

Right nobody’s tryna hear that

our serve

How did Guns N’ Roses make Ultraviolence but fine China didnt

Right, I don’t come here to debate and be corrected I come here to BITCH and MOAN

??

Will not be listening to that song lolz

lana and nikki lane on Breaking Up Slowly:

all of us on LB doing it for fun, for free, and for the right reasons:

she should yeah it's good and even necessary for an artist to grow and evolve. she's def making a conscience decision to distance herself from her old image, but damn girl rebranding as a country singer is a little excessive lmfaooooooooo *i realize there are in fact people who listen to folk and country music lol, i simply am not one of them. nor are most lana fans i know across here, twitter, and the real world. so i wish she'd take a hint lolol

She can experiment with whatever sound she wants, she’s a dynamic artist which is what I adore about her. And you must follow your muse always. but folk and country music suck and I wish she’d get over this phase already because no one but her is enjoying it

What’s with her recent obsession with country music and being “folky”? Like every interview it’s country this folk that (excluding her political commentary). I want her to know that 98% of her core fan base has zero interest in “folk” music, nor 98% of casual listeners either. There’s a reason everyone at her shows wants her to sing Off to the Races and Cherry and not her new shit. maybe I’m just stuck in the past or maybe she’s just no longer my taste, but I’m so sick of her trying to make us believe she’s some around the way cowgirl who just wants to write poems in her log cabin lmfao like girl you are rich and live in LA with an army of clones, please stop trying to make this aesthetic happen
