    I just listened to the album for the first time, without having heard a single thing from it.

    you should reread her interviews then to understand that the two albums have different meanings to her

    The way I switched on Fingertips, a career highlight lowkey. It’s integral to her story.

    Nothing on this album is “worst Lana song” material… y’all had Track 7 on the last album for that…

    I might have to edit "mother" back into the song because this ain't it

    On the Ocean Blvd cover it says it’s her ninth studio album. Do these 9 albums include Paradise or AKA?

    I can kind of make out “Here’s my body, I’m available, I’m a ghost now, look how they (you) found (hold) me” - with the words in parentheses being layered?

    Hi, another small interpretation of Lana’s songs, knowing that A&W is most likely about Sean: 
     
    “Got a cop who turned on the back beat Puts the shower on while he calls me Sneaks out the back door to talk to me I'm invisible, you should’ve told me Did you really think I would spare your/her tears just to save your happiness? When I had no idea you were engaged. After all of those years, do you think I’d spare their tears to save my face? You must not have known who you were dealing with.”
     
    It seems like A&W is about Sean Larkin, and a few other songs of hers, like Blue Banisters and Chemtrails Over the Country Club. Based on those lyrics, Sean literally made her the “American Whore” by still seeing her when he was engaged, but what’s interesting is that if COTCC is about him, if you pick up the symbolism from the music video in the breaking glass/mirror scene at 4:30, she sings “my cancer is sun and my leo is moon”, while breaking through glass and appearing completely unaltered and unbothered. She then turns into a wolf in the next scene, which wolves are known to symbolize freedom, intuition, courage, and self-reliance. Also, at 4:07 she sings “it’s never too late, baby so don’t give up”, with a scene of her in a car with her hands surrendering into a tornado that is pulling the car up in the sky. This imagery and symbolism, as well as the lyrics themselves show a spiritual surrendering to what fulfills her soul. And writing about her relationships is connected to that, even if they may be tumultuous. That’s where she’s needed, that’s where she’s wild and free— almost like her pain in her music from her experiences is healing herself and the world. It’s also interesting that if this is true, the imagery of her walking and breaking the glass symbolizes her not giving a fuck what anyone thinks of her— (also interesting how this theme is mentioned over and over again, such as in the Ride monologue— identifying more with freedom and being crazy than to live an unfulfilling life) she’s gonna follow where her soul leads her, at the expense of her image. Thus claiming the title of the “American Whore”, ironically.
