Most of the info we've gotten this era has just been people throwing around buzz words that could be taken in literally any way. I kind of like the fact that we don't have any concreate info on certain songs if insiders haven't even heard them. It makes it more exciting going into the album when you don't have a bunch of background knowledge 

This is such a grower in autumn. And it’s quite telling for me that the tracks I immediately gravitated towards when it got “released” () in the wake of spring were NAWWAL, DBJAG, Wild At Heart and Tulsa… but now that us North Hemisphere bitches are experiencing the early stages of autumn, this album sticks a much stronger landing: White Dress, Chemtrails, Breaking Up Slowly, Dance Till We Die and even Let Me Love You Like a Woman’s contemplative natures pack a much bigger impact as the leaves are falling and the light has more shades of orange and brown; listening to the whole album from start to finish as I left early from home to go to work and saw the melancholy of the streets of Lisbon waking up… whew! an experience.

the only way that it wouldn't be tragic is if it looked like this
 

my holy trinity is:
 
Chemtrails
Tulsa Jesus Freak
Yosemite

But this duet only works because Miles and Lana's parts are so opposite. He's calm and chilled and wants to be alone, while she's upset and wild. It's not as funny anymore when Lana sings all the parts.

There's another thread for that:

maybe if you didn’t listen to the leaks and especially not dealer you wouldn’t have that issue 

Just from the song titles, I'm very confident that the unknown songs will fit well with the rest of the album. There is no reason to expect a disappointment.

this French version of Diamonds by Rihanna is an absolute serve, i like the original but the atmosphere and instrumental were changed a lot for the cover, i just love it
omg yes the soundtrack for this movie brings me on the brink of tears it reminds me so much of my childhood

Underrated Gem

no

it's definitely "I wait for life to win." She's waiting for life to get in the way of the relationship. 

I listened really loudly and I swear it's win, there's no mmm hum or a D at the end of the word to make it mend

I thought about this song today and came up with my interpretation.
I think this song describes Lana's relationship with things outside of herself which cause distress in her life (mainly the media/her record label) and lets us know how her experiences make her feel.
 
Why you make me work so hard
To put on that evening show
 
Here Lana talks about the problems she faces in her career as a musician. She loves to make music and she does tours, but promoting the songs is a drag for her, she is shy and a private person, doesn't really like to be the center of cynical, hurtful attention. She perceives many people to be this way. She does not enjoy some aspects of her career, yet she still has to do it.
 
When you know that all I want
Is to make your money grow?
 
She is addressing her "money hungry" label who always want to change her and push her to be more commercial, they are dissatisfied with her product. The label benefits from having her and she would be willing to work with them if only she was supported in what she wants to do.
 
You're like a baby who don't got nowhere to go
I feel you eyeing me, you keep it on the low
(on the low, on the low)
 
They act childish towards her - she has a contract, they don't let her go, but they don't want her in the way that she is available to them. They want to change her constantly.
 
But I can't let you in
And I can't keep you out
I wait for life to mend
But it never comes around
And I can't hear you call
And I can't hear me [shout?]
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around
 
The chorus addresses the media scrutinizing her and exposing too much about her life, her past, her family. She doesn't want people to dig around in her past yet she is helpless against them, she can't stop people from doing it. She waits for life to mend, to get better, for better things to come but they never seem to arrive. She wants to have a break where she can be more at peace but she only yearns for peace, it is not her actual experience.
 
And I'm lonely
I'm lonely
I'm lonely
 
These events make her feel lonely, being watched by the eye of so many people who misunderstand or judge her. Sometimes you feel the most alone in a crowd. That is how she is. She doesn't find someone who she can trust or someone who relates to her, even though it is imporant her to have a person who she can hold on to.
 
Why you make me take that shit
To put on that evening show
When you know I don't need it
Better than your booze and blow?
 
Again she laments that with her profession as a musician she has to do many things that she doesn't enjoy. Making music is her favorite part but there is a lot more to it than that.
In the two final lines, she says she doesn't need all the mainstream success that some would like her to have, it is not a priority for her. She likens those achievements to booze and blow, they put you high but they are also hurtful, they bring even more attention to you and she already had enough of that. She is worried that more attention would cause more problems.

(Scatting)
Feel like I'm falling apart
(Scatting)
Feel like I'm falling apart
(Scatting)
Feel like I'm falling apart
 
Because of the bad experiences, her stability is broken, she is falling apart, she doesn't know how to react what to say, and often gets into uncomfortable situations which give her even more bad reputation. (like the I want to die story) She feels destroyed but she is helpless and can't do much against it.
 
 
Would you tell me?
Would you tell me?
Would you tell me?
 
But I can't let you in
And I can't keep you out
I wait for life to [win/mend/end?]
But it never comes around
And I can't hear you call
And I can't hear me [shout?]
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around
 
And I'm lonely
I'm lonely
I'm lonely
 
 
She is alone - misunderstood, and helpless. Truly a sad song describing the abandonmnet she feels in her position from which she can't really escape.

I hear "win" as well

I love it! I thought it was ft. Lana not a purely Lana song. I hope this is the direction she is moving towards!

I think I wait for life to win is right because it rhymes with But I can't let you in.
 
Also it's:
You drag me down, you try to keep it on the low.

That's what I heard as well.

I wait for life to win

Definitely sounds like mend to me.
