Catgirl

istg if she didn’t keep these lyrics in the song 

as she should 

The alternate lyrics seem to link back to the poem she free-styled for Vogue in September 2020 about “being led on.” 

 
She met with Sean in July 2020 while in Oklahoma, and seemingly never interacted with him again after that. So something must have happened in summer 2020 where she thought things were potentially going to be rekindled but it ended up being that she was a “side-piece at 3[5]” (I think she said “33” just for rhyme’s sake). 

i need more lana singing in her car it made me emotional how intimate that was 

the thing that confuses me is that Sean was married when they met (when Lana was 33), not engaged. He was however engaged to his current wife for some time before early 2022.. this could mean that Sean cheated on two women with Lana, one before and one after their official relationship 
and the line "did you really think i'd spare her tears just to save your happiness" could refer to hurting Seans current wife by speaking up about it maybe?

this is rly breaking my heart for her tho... Sean when i get your ass

I think these are the words she sings in her latest tiktok:
 
'got a cop who turned down the back beat
puts the shower on while he calls me
slips out the back door to talk to me
like i'm invisible
you should've told me
 
did you really think I'd spare her (?) tears?
just to save your happiness
when i had no idea 
you were engaged
 
after all of those years
did you think i's spare the tears to save my face?
you must not have known
who you're dealing with'
 

I don't think Lana is a fundamentalist religious person even though she goes to church. Maybe she just likes getting together with people and listening to things (like a sermon) that will give her something to think about.
Also, if she has a catholic/christian background, she probably wants to incorporate it in her music even if she doesn't agree with it 100%. It's something that many singers do if you think about it - Madonna also comes to mind. M implied heavily that catholicism was her gateway for getting into BDSM 

pls you know damn well a random european record store will sell the cds/vinyls early and we’ll have the entire album in perfect FLAC quality by march 11th at the latest 

WHAT

"I’m thinking a little less big and bombastic. Maybe at some point I can have fun creating a world again, but right now, I would say there’s no world building"
 
please go back to that just for one era pls i’m begging 

Nothing weird about it, they had been a couple for a few years already, after many years love just doesn't feel like in typical pop songs, apart from the fact they had a dysfunctional relationship and probably Marina forced herself to write it. Its substantial lyrical structure revolve mostly around anxiety; "You never judge me for any of my fears / I love the way we worked so hard Yeah, we've come so far Baby, look at me, you're my superstar When I'm afraid, when the world's gone dark Come and save my day, you're my superstar".

I don't wanna live in an xcx world anymore.

She signed to MARINA's Queenie Records! XCX Woman in an XCX world!

oh it sure will...one way or another 

if any of the male reviewers get mad about that lyric, we need to give them a proper lashing like the one below 

I'm confused that so many people find that so surprising. Like... Sept 22 is really not that long ago. I would think albums usually have several months of finishing up, getting ready for release etc before they see the light of day.
 
It's not like she said she finished September 2021.

with the new Caroline Polachek, Kali Uchis, Boygenius, (possibly) Lorde albums, and this album, this year is shaping up to be the best year for music since 2019
