HeyBlueBaby

I don't know if this is considered unpopular, but NFR is the album I revisit the least lately and I can't pinpoint exactly why because I don't hate the album or anything. If I do revisit it, it's usually Love Song or Bartender that I play. Maybe I overplayed it when it came out and I need some time to be able to listen o it again. Maybe those songs are for a very specific mood and I'm just not there right now.

Thank you and user @slang for having this type of discussion and I encourage you both to keep it going! As a reader I find it fascinating, and as a fan it pleases me, because I think the messages Lana is trying to get across in her songs are very hard to read and often feel like they have esoteric meaning but I never know where to start beginning to understand most of it.

From Philip K. Dick:
 
 
Anamnesis. "Can you hear me?"
 
From "Get Free"—
 
"Finally, gone is the burden of the Crowley way of being"
 
Why did she say this? Why does she mention Aleister Crowley? Could it be she actually practices Thelema? Why does her position in the "Blue Jeans" music video mirror that of the Hanged Man in Crowley's Thoth tarot? Is this not another exhortation to "remember"? It is important to her because she believes something important has been lost; something in all of us. 
 
"I'm the queen of alchemy
I know a way to make gold by mixing our
Souls to escape reality"
 
Why does she always mention fire? Why is she always burning? 
 
"Anyone can start again
Not through love but through revenge
Through the fire, we're born again
Peace by vengeance brings the end"
 
People simply refuse to stop and think about what any of these lines actually mean. My unpopular opinion in the unpopular opinions thread.

24 is criminally underrated. The last minute of the song is so mesmerizing and puts you in a trance. It HIT so hard when I listened to the album on acid, and since then 24 (and Swan Song) are in my top favorites from HM. 10/10 musical brilliance 

The lyric is typical Lana. What’s wrong with it? She’s written similar lyrics. Fuck It I Love You? What’s the issue now? I really don’t get it.

Right like what is this discourse? I really think some of these fans critiques about Lana showing her breasts may be rooted in fat phobia, because no one had anything negative to say when she was pretty much naked for that GQ spread in 2012/13.
 
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a woman in this day and age exposing her breasts like in the photos Lana took with Neil for this album. It’s very subtle to me imo. And clearly she feels confident which is a great thing! Why are we shaming her?! 
 
If you feel uncomfortable or disgusted by seeing those pictures, I promise it is a personal problem. 
 
Some y’all really showing you’re hardcore Conservatives lol 

Are we really arguing about Lana showing her breasts? Can I ask why? Lmfaoooo y’all are too much! Let this woman live please. When you think about it, she’s one of the least problematic pop stars despite all the controversy surrounding some of her one liners.
 
There’s pop stars putting their whole azz/pussc lips on display and we’re complaining because she’s been showing her breasts. Looooordddttt. She just feels sexy let her be happy. 

Marina & The Diamonds was over after Froot.

"I've had like a long time interest in all things ancient and occult like so many people and I guess I draw on a little bit of that inspiration for my music."
 
She's mapped out the Tree for you in her albums. The constraint built by men is the Tower; the two tigers in Born to Die. It's about anamnesis and remembering the Self within that has been abandoned. Alchemical coniunctio is a "death" preceding new life. "Knowing that you're your own doorway to the answers."
 
I mean, did you think she made Tropico just for fun? "Walk in the way of my soft resurrection" was her message.

24 is Lana's best song
