someone tell boz we don't care if what he tells us comes to fruition or not. we know lana isn't the most decisive person - it's all subject 2 change. just give us what u got 
 
boz can even speak in riddles or be creative w the truth at this point and i'd still 

the static is quite overwhelmin

I'm thinking now that she might be expressing her fear of change - spring is a time of renewal and change and often positively thought about but in the context of love and relationships, it's a super hard time

but she contains multitudes

I want an official release for Thunder so bad, I don't care if she's scrapping "map of LA" for it

You're not wrong

this goes two ways right? people who don't support BLM and people who DO support BLM. 
 
it's quite jarring to hear in a song by an artist like her absolutely. Is Lana singing about her life and where it led to and the people she met along the way? Yes. Has she made some missteps in the way she's communicated things in the past? Sure. 
 
I don't find Lana to be harmful with this lyric. It's real, it happened, she was at the protests and something happened and she sang about it. Just like literally every other song she has written. 
 
I think it will take some getting used to, but I also believe that a long time from now it will be a song that is looked back on and is noted for its relevancy. Not many other white artists sing about current events and authentically and with the emotion the way that Lana does.  

"Screaming Black Lives Matter by the Old Man River" is a very interesting phrase... juxtaposition of modern racial justice with the history of slavery in America...
 
I get weary, and sick of trying.
I'm tired of living, but scared of dying!
But Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along.

amazing point! i really wonder if this was intentional, and maybe even lana's way of subtly acknowledging that how she's romanticised america in the past doesn't necessarily align with her current views

I wonder what she means with that:
Summer comes, Winter goes
Spring I skip, God knows
Summer comes, Winter goes
Spring I sleep, Heaven knows

Oh my gosh so much to take in on first listen as it’s a real stream or consciousness kind of thing with so many lyrics but was immediately shook at her stealing one of my favourite Father John Misty lyrics! “She blackens pages like a Russian romantic”

so dry that I almost wish darla was here to stir the pot

So I guess we're going to starve to death before any further news
