ShadesOfFool

she's keeping it juicy, i love it tbh

this aged well

i'm really impressed. i was pretty ambivalent to the idea of a poetry book (still am tbh) BUT i'm so in love with lana so i went with it. and i'm glad i did. very well written, much more raw than anything i was expecting. a lot of it feels just like she's talking. what i appreciate about this work (and the majority of her discography) is that there isn't necessarily a big thesis or storyline to it. she just kind of dwells in her own headspace, and takes us along with her. she's just in it, she's just there. they're just snapshots of how she feels, what she thinks about. there is no obvious "point" to it, it's just kind of a collage of her emotions. and that's more real than any "concept" or "storyline." the trauma of her past hangs heavily over this project. this is a woman torn between her past and her future. she is haunted by a series of abusive and broken relationships, and trying to find out who she is in the wake of them. she tries new things, she goes new places, but she is inexplicably drawn back to old habits and bad memories. she's lost, not quite unhappy but still unfulfilled. she doesn't necessarily miss her past, but she can't help but think about it often. this is mostly (at least the lens i looked at it thru) a piece about recovering from your past and looking for your future. hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with her past, but she has it. really blown away

I wonder who the man is she seems to be addressing in most of these poems

much to think about

oh wow.... her ex-husband tho??

wanna clarify i actually find you pretty amusing and i appreciate you actually know things (like how i had no idea what mixing and mastering entailed), it just cracks me up how contrarian you tend to be. but hey atleast you actually got an opinion

user AlexParliament has been terrorizing this site for the last week straight, please Lana drop something to distract him!

okay I laughed out loud

the one on the left, with the giant mouth

That’s Sean’s daughter right? Ughhhhhhhhh Anyways rip the eyelash extensions, those were cute tho

who is zella day

lana is a rich white woman who "sends positive vibes" to racial injustice movements then goes and dates someone from the establishment that perpetuates racial injustice. at the end of the day it doesn't affect me but it's a little disappointing to see.

i bet you're real fun at parties, bro

just realized tulsa jesus freak is about herself lmao

queen

he's an older guy with tattoos and a thing for guns....sadly that is right up her alley. thats great for her, we aren't gonna apologize for not liking it either lol. my bitchiness isn't directed at you ofc. at the end of the day i don't really care, it just makes me cringe a little bit seeing her continually fall for such losers.

as confusing as today's events were, at least it confirms she does in fact remember she has an album to release

sean seemed like such a douche from the 15 seconds i ever paid attention to him. "sean, was it nerve-wracking being on the red carpet at the grammys" "no because i'm a cop, i put my life on the line every day. and you know, as a cop, i'm constantly at risk. so the grammys didnt scare me because i'm a cop and i see way worse in the field every day, not everyone is as strong as me, cause i'm a cop" dude stfu please

its jack's car!! my god is an awesome god!

Now what the hell

yeah i lowkey was thinking about that. cause at the time, i was like "this rant is about 8 years late, why is she saying this now?" then i thought "oh maybe cause she's about to do more of that." but also i dont think she'll be singing about abuse and being afraid of her boyfriend anymore, i think she genuinely has outgrown that. but maybe she's ready to go a little darker again.

its too mysterious to the point that 90% of people will have no idea what that means lol...and not in a cool way like "ultraviolence" was strange and mysterious. just overly complicated. hopefully the album cover and title track can sell me on the name. both of which are hopefully coming within the next month.

I really like white hot forever tbh. Chemtrails over the country club is...well...
