I'm not sure it's this simple but I do think that she represented diff "eras" with diff parts of the video. Like I think the beginning of her walking into the house is Lizzy (A: the BTS shot of the leaves being purposefully blown into the shot then the shot being shown beautifully is beautifully metaphorical B the pretty trees behind her when she's "driving", which end up being fake too lol, may be representative of Lake Placid).. At the beginning she actually seems excited, she's going to LA and she's gonna make it! Then, it cuts to the director saying "Lana that was cool" like not understanding the full message, and Lana understanding that and smiling and putting on a show behind the scenes.. which is the point! That behavior is exactly what she sees in Marilyn, etc. that she represents in the video But the video is a powerful statement of acknowledgement. She's like I know what you think of me and why you think it so take this video and fuck off LOL.

It's 1000% both. She's not only "portraying Marilyn" but portraying Marilyn because she sees herself in Marilyn. She's presenting the different sides of herself through these different hollywood legends (who never grow old) and their sad stories. She's identifying with them and making a defiant statement that she is not going to go down the path they did. Almost all of her music heavily touches on this thematically. But yeah I feel the BB era was portrayed a lot in the video (which she was writing since then so I'm not surprised about it) specifically with the middle finger and the "get out". It's a reference to the middle finger she gives at the end of Arcadia, an important song to her, where she tells the media to "get out" of her life. I'm so excited Lana made something like this. It's actually amazing I'm not fake excited like usual But "fake" excitement with lala is way better than "real" excitement with other artists so what do I know. But truly I think she thought this out so deeply. If you guys only watched a few times and were like "Eh, next" because of the behind the scenes filmmaking, try again

Not it's crickets in here

I'm bored and high and on Lanaboards (my usual night time routine) and all these threads are DEAD where's the life where's the vitality (obviously nowhere it's the middle of the night) Ok so this is the game. People reply with a random set of words and a theme for the song and other people quote those people with a creative and stunning interpretation of the string of words in the form of a song verse I did this as a status update and I think I did a great job.. Example (it's my beautiful sex song "Crocodile Teeth)

Did you read my post I said double entendre.. I understood the apparent blood diamond metaphor and Black Dahlia reference I was just saying I think there are more layers to this. This is very clearly one of Lana's most thought out videos ever. Every shot is thought out and has a meaning (imo)

I think the diamonds falling in to blood is an obvious reference to the industry, loss of innocence, and a blood diamond metaphor etc but.. to me it looks more like wine than blood. Lana might be making a double entendre referencing the bad side of the industry and perhaps how alcohol played a part in that within the lens of her career

Why is this thread dead the day after lala released one of the best MV's of her career I'm gonna write a long analysis explaining my thoughts on the video when I have time later, it's too much to cram into a short one

Tbh the entire post seems plausible. Obviously it's hugely speculative to believe a random Reddit post but I would not be surprised in the slightest if it's true. Especially bc it was posted three years ago which is before Lana started sharing more of her thoughts/mindset on things

The faces aren't the same but their stories all end tragically And that's the price of fame A tale as old as time You'd be a pretty little fool to think exceptions to the rule just walk around like you and me - Dark But Just A Game

This.. it just seems so oddly specific to the scene of Lana singing for all the people but really wanting to leave

Anybody remember that seemingly fake Reddit post where the poster's BF apparently worked for Lana's tour team during the UV tour. The post said earlier in her career she would often be cloaked up and shuffled into the back of shady private events that gave her anxiety etc and that's where some of her 'problems' originated from... It's very similar to what was portrayed in the music video

I feel like this song /MV really lyrically mirrors black beauty except instead of looking at a man she's looking at the world, which she is maybe also doing in black beauty through the metaphor of the relationship I paint my nails black I dye my hair a darker shade 'Cause you like your woman Spanish Dark, strong, and proud I paint the sky black and then the end of the MV is the message she's been trying to hint at since UV I keep my lips red to seem like cherries in the spring Regardless of all the turmoil she acknowledges she needs to move forward or else she'll feel lost and "stuck in snakeholes" like the women she references through the representation of her career in the MV - she said it was a "where do we go from here?" ending, as in, she's acknowledging her relationship with the media/celebrity as over, and she's know wondering where her music/life will go from here. That's how I see it at least, but Lana changes her mind all the time and this doesn't mean anything for the future implications of her music imo

1:21:04 She literally had the entire thing thought out.. she was talking about making the video and that it was so triggering that she had to stop writing it. It really is as deep as we're interpreting it to be she's just a genius

Ur purposefully choosing to look at semantics instead of acknowledging the point.. in my book that means whatever ur saying doesn't rly mean that much It's about the values.. ur valuing Lana's message over the art direction and actual filmography and others may not. At least that's how I see it

I don't know about failing the intelligence test.. I love the video but obviously there are going to be people who prefer a more professional, intentional, and well done video. It's not acknowledging the truth imo to pretend like anyone who doesn't like it doesn't get it. People can get it and have critiques But for me personally.. lala ate down and anyone who doesn't like it should re consider Lana's art and where she is right now, she's over all that (at this specific moment in time).... and also you guys should consider that you're literally proving the point of the music video.. that you guys want the movie version of her (the pretty film footage) and not the real version of her (the behind the scenes footage)

Would love for a lip reader to get on this She's so cute though I wish she'd still do things like this but I don't think it would be safe unless it's done in a more Taylor Swift setting with lots of security and that would change the vibe

I'm not sure it's about age I think it's about lots of things including the significant change in music style.. I see YTH charting, I also think this tour is going to be really good for her in the sense of reminding her of how fun touring is and like.. that music can be fun. And doesn't have to be about heavy karmic topics (inb4 the quotes I'm not shitting on the heavier music I'm obsessed with it but I also acknowledge that less people will like it)

Do it girl 😭 Fuck Lana's merch team

Same I've gotten those emails for like 75% of the merch I ordered. So unprofessional
