For me I don't think it's nearly as dark as Ultraviolence. I think the two albums are yin and yang. Sonically there are few similarities. I find it to be closer to NFR/ Chemtrails/ Honeymoon. Tunnel is processing her past from the perspective of someone who has healed. I think to say "certainly doesn't suggest happiness or reflect someone who is currently living life to the full and enjoying themselves." After Lana herself has stated that she's very happy many times is strange but that's just your perception and that's okay. I'm not sure what "There's not a lot of contrast within each of the songs, musically or lyrically, at least not in the manner we're used to from Lana and other contemporary artists. I hope the other tracks will offer more of a smorgasbord." Especially after we've been told dozens of times that the album offers exactly that. The compositions of what we've heard so far (specifically released) are all completely different the only similarity being some of the instruments. Lyrically they are all structured differently as well.

I think there's an emphasis on "happy" with tunnel. The songs are written from a current perspective, looking back. Lana has mentioned how happy she is now quite a few times. For me, historically there's a lot of heaviness in her discography but it comes from someone who is sorting it out, or still experiencing it. With Tunnel there seems to be clarity in the lyrics and a lot of light in the production. I think we've always known Lana to sing sad songs but she's finally singing from a place of happiness rather than hurt. She's able to see clearly now and she's laser focused.

Personally, TikTok is a disease to the music industry. It's requiring songs to fit into a certain box or format in order to go viral so people can make more money. It's capitalism. People are literally making music now specifically so it can be used on TikTok instead of making music because it's good. Lana's music doesn't and never has fit into that box nor does she care to conform to it because she makes true art.
