And this shit one deals with as a child, it comes with you into adulthood. So much of my childhood trauma still haunts me. I see Lana. I understand Lana. And I accept Lana. Why? Because no one has accepted me so I feel the same pain Lana feels.

Holy shi-
 
What if "can I come home now?" was something she used to ask her parents when she was at boarding school?? :poordat:

Im just excited for all the fan made songs people are gonna create out of these poems, attatched to her best instrumentals omg

Last year, when I wrote you my last letter,
The beginning of my future poetry
I acknowledged who you really were for the first time.
 
I didn’t call you by any other name,
I let you know that I knew the true nature of your heart.
That it was evil,
and that it convinced me that darkness was real,
That the devil is a real devil,
and that monsters don’t always know that they’re monsters.
 
But projection is an amazing thing.
After you left and burnt the house down,
You tried to convince me it was I who was holding the matches.
 
You told me I didn’t know who I was,
But I do.
 
I love rose gardens.
I plant violets everytime someone leaves me.
I love the great sequoias of Yosemite
 
And if you asked my sister to describe the first thing she thinks of when she thinks of me,
She would say 'Camp fire smoke.'
 
I’m gentle.
I’m funny when I’m drunk,
But I haven’t been drunk for 14 years.
 
I go on trips with my friends to the beach who don’t know that I’m crazy.
I can do that.
I can do anything,
Even leave you.
 
Because my bedroom is a sacred place now that there are children at the end of my bed,
Telling me stories about the friends that they pretend to hate, that they will make up with later.
And there are fresh cut flowers that I grew myself in vases from the yard on nightstands, hand-carved by old pals from Big Sir.
And the longer I stay here,
The more I am sure
That the more I step into becoming a poet,
The less I will fall into being with you.
 
The more I step into my poetry,
The less I will fall into being with you.
 
The more I step into my poetry,
The less I will fall into bed with you.
 
 
 
Thank you to @ takeitdoen for the transcription, for it has been released in Australia

My Bedroom Is A Sacred Place Now There Are Children At The Foot of My Bed

I plant violets every time someone leaves me.
I love the great secoys [this is a plant I dunno how to spell sorryyyy] of Yosemite
And if you asked me sister to describe the first thing she thinks of when she thinks of me,
she would say “Camp fire smoke”.

Holy shit. 
This is the best project she's ever made.
 
Everyone who said Jack was great, I'm sorry I doubted you. His score has such incredible range, and it totally transforms the work.
 
Land of 100 Fires - if you loved the Hollyweird vibe of the Lust for Life trailer, you're going to love this track. It's old timey, brassy and WITCHY.

Get out of my blood, salamander!
I can’t seem to blow off enough steam to get you out of my head.
Soul cycle you to death, run you out of my blood to San Pedro.
And yet, everywhere I go, it seems there you are,
And there I am.
 
I don’t want to sell my stories anymore, stop pushing me.
Some stories aren’t meant to be sold.
Some words aren’t meant to be told.
 
I want to leave them underneath the nightstand to be forgotten
or remembered should my thoughts come upon them in the middle of the night after a long beach day
Or by you, some afternoon, to thumb through by your warm after-work hands
 
I love you,
But you don’t understand me
I’m a real poet
My life is my poetry
My love making is my legacy
My thoughts are about nothing,
and beautiful, and for free
 
You see, the things that can’t be bought can’t be evaluated,
and that makes them beyond human reach
Untouchable, safe, otherworldy
Unable to be deciphered or metabolised
 
Something metaphysical
Like a view of the sea on a summer day
on the most perfect winding road taken in from the car window.
A thing perfect, and ready to become a part
of the texture of the fabric of something more ethereal
 
Like Mount Olympus, where Zeus sent Athena and the rest of the immortals plague.
 
 
 

ready to cry over experiences i've never had like always

this is my first LDR release on lanaboards and i know i'm gonna just be here refreshing for the next 24hrs looool

I just miss these types of visuals : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCAyM1VqJv4

I want at least one sexy, dark track with guitar and heavy beats

That blonde hair is homophobic.

That’s the best fucking car Jaguar ever built! Even Enzo Ferrari loved this car!

It wouldn’t be a stretch for her to be in front of a car on the album cover. She has done that before. I was kind of hoping for an airplane (707 or DC-8) but I can live with another album cover with her in front of a car.
 
I just hope one day she has an album cover with a Ford Del Rey parked in Marina Del Rey!

Elaborating on the speculation that this was the album cover shoot: 
 
I can't tell if the photographer is a man wearing a cap or a woman with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail/low bun but my guess is the latter. Nicole Nodland has blonde hair. Chuck was not blonde in late 2019, her hair was a golden auburn-brownish colour. Chuck's hairline is also not that shape.
 
Chuck usually uses medium format film to shoot her pictures, and this camera looks like a digital; the camera appears to be a DSLR, which is considered digital. Nicole's go-to cameras for her shoots with Lana were P25+ by Phase One and EOS 5D Mark II by Canon, which are DSLR cameras. 
 
We also see someone holding a light reflector, who is likely Nicole's assistant. Lana has said before that her shoots with Chuck are pretty casual, so I'm assuming it would just be the two of them and some friends relying on flash or natural light, as we can see in the HM, LFL and NFR covers. This looks more formal, as Nicole's editorial style sees her operate differently than someone with a more artistic and candid sensibility like Chuck.
 
Nicole's instagram profile picture is of chemtrails, and she quickly deleted a picture of chemtrails that she posted a few weeks ago - likely because fans sniffed out her involvement with this record's artwork.
 
The blue convertible Lana is in also seems to be the same car that Sean owns, pictured here: https://twitter.com/sean_c_larkin/status/1246248286203318274
The white interior is evident in both his tweet and in the screenshot of Charlie's story, where the steering wheel is white.
 
TL;DR: Nicole Nodland shot the album cover on December 17, 2019 - it will likely be a portrait of Lana in Sean's blue convertible with chemtrails photoshopped into the sky above.

this blonde highlight hair looks no good imo, she needs facial contrast like w dark hair

I get that you didn’t mean any harm but some things just aren’t OK to joke about.

might b off but I really want a cover like HBTB.. Honeymoon visuals n vibes were it 

imagine taking psychodelics and listening to that track

As this is her 6th studio album it would be cool to maybe throw something a little devilish and satanic in there, especially with the theme of this album being the upper class and the elite groups, and the themes of the government and "country clubs" - it kind of gives me a bit of stanley kubrick vibes from "Eyes Wide Shut"
 
Imagine a track where she is reciting her poetry over her screaming whale high notes and soaring strings with electric guitars flaring in and out, and screams and windows shattering faintly in the background, perhaps having a church quior singing in the back too, and her speaking in reverse in the background as well - it sounds like a mess but wow, that would be intense and epic

I'd also love some Burnt Norton-type interludes throughout the album!

I'm always super excited to hear what the intro sounds like, especially with Lana albums as they always mean something and sum up the entire era. Born to Die had the BIG strings, UV had the grungy guitar, HM had the classical strings, LFL had the soft strumming of a guitar (a little out of context from the album, but still a nice intro) and NFR had the disney strings which were super cute and tied in nicely with the short film, ughhhh - just remember how important those opening instruments always are guys, if we really are listening to this album in FULL for the first time :teehee:

I need another cinematic slutty bop like Mermaid Motel, it's legit one of her best songs and I ain't joking

Lana all set to drop the surprise pre order but then checking this thread

I’m sure whatever sound Lana has chosen to go with we will P̶r̶e̶t̶e̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶u̶r̶s̶e̶l̶v̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶ love it regardless.
