i always hated nightmare (the production and  line "i'm no sweet dream but i'm a hell of a night" lmao i'm sorry it's corny) but the reprise (produced by NIN i'm assuming)  truly elevates it

mine is so interesting you’re welcome 

So I thought it would be interesting to see what the titles of Lana's albums look like in your native languages! Here they are in Polish:

Urodzeni by umrzeć (Born To Die) - this directly translates to 'We Are/Were Born To Die' and if it were meant from a woman's perspective it would be 'Urodzona by umrzeć'
Raj (Paradise) - I really like this word. The 'j' is pronounced the same way as 'y' in 'yes'. 
Ultraprzemoc (Ultraviolence) - not sure if this word exists in Polish but the word 'violence' translates to 'przemoc' so...
Miesiąc miodowy (Honeymoon) - this literally means 'honey month' 
Żądza życia (Lust For Life) - pretty good direct translation here. Another word for 'lust' would be 'pragnienie'.
Norman Kurwa Rockwell! (NFR) - so... this is probably very wrong but 'kurwa' is the equivalent of 'fuck' 
Smugi chemiczne nad ośrodkiem wypoczynkowym (COCC) - I couldn't find an equivalent of a 'country club' but I believe it's more or less a 'recreation centre'? I might be wrong lol
Niebieskie poręcze (Blue Banisters) - again, a nice direct translation here

marina's work just hasn't resonated with me since FROOT. i liked the sound of ADIAML (the single) but the lyrics are meh, so i haven't returned to it much. would love for her to work with a producer totally out of her comfort zone bc i think she's so talented but seems a little stuck artistically.

the trilogy video for nfr was so good - i loved the vintage feel and the cute lil editing. it fit the music soooooo well
 
i think marinas problem is that she takes the small budget she does have and tries to make it look much more high budget than it is… which is.. painfully evident 
 
sometimes you just need to embrace the $5 and have fun with it! (for example - the adiaml lyric vid - you can tell it’s low budget, but it makes the most out of it, its fun!)

she needs to drop the political lyrics and work with someone that she's never worked with before
 
i'm not saying political lyrics in GENERAL are bad it just seems that she makes them a bit too on the nose and straight forward that it loses the magic

how is it possible that with every album her lyrics got more and more shallow? should'nt Marina get better at it? With L+F, some things she sings about is so cringe

Just submitted my votes 
 
Good luck everyone!
