wtf why do i feel scared  this is so sad, deactivating everything seems so drastic, it's not like she's just logging out & deleting the apps 

She just deactivated Twitter.

A fitting final photo.
The MV for High by the Beach revolves around the press constantly following her, and then, at the end, she blows up the helicopter. Now however, she's escaping from the press again by leaving social media.
She just wants peace.

this was all a marketing stunt, blue banisters WILL BE honeymoon 2.0!  

A screenshot of the last few moments before she blows up the paparazzi...what a way to end your public relations 

Okay, she's definitely forgotten to deactivate
 
Love the Honeymoon acknowledgement

She starts with "...we're deactivating our social media accounts...". So they were not managed by Lana only and it was maybe not only her decision.

There's something about this whole thing that doesn't sit right with me. 

I’m so fucking nervous about this 
When is she deactivating? 

I want to say that Arcadia is perfectly placed after Blue Banisters in this album. The first song slows down the sense of hearing, it's nearly like time is standing still, and after that you hear Arcadia more attentively and with a slower and more intense feeling.

I thought that too, the reason may be she wants less attention and people coming up to her in public so be not being on social media she is seen as less approachable or something.
Could be with her sister having the baby and her becoming an auntie she would like to take the kid out and spend time with her/him without being bothered.

I've been thinking about something for a while ... It doesn't seem strange to you that took Lana about two years or so to release records. And suddenly in a matter of 6 months we have had two albums? In BB, half are songs that we already know.
This reinforces the theory that she is going to sign for Capital Records. Perhaps to end her contract with Interscope she should release this record. The cover album has been announced for almost a year, and has not yet seen the light. This may suggest that Interscope disagreed with the project, and same with the second book of poetry.
 
Of course the timing to leave social networks is strange, just before the album. Also in this era there has been less promotion than in COCC, and there was little there. We have known everything thanks to the insiders.
It is also very strange that in the BB era we did not receive many of the vinyl versions in Europe.
 
We already know how Lana is. She was not comfortable with social networks. She uploads photos and after a few minutes delete them. I think the best thing is to take some time for herself and disconnect. Also at the beginning of the year, she said that she was going to be away from SM for a while. And she came back weeks later, and surely that will happen again. All we have to do is respect her decision and support it. 

Her circuits are busy. Goodbye! 
 
(I'm sad about it but also respect)

truly i don't blame her. the things i've seen people say about her are absolutely repulsive.  People treat her like she's a jukebox. No matter WHAT she posts people are bringing her down, body shaming her, calling her racist, shitting on her music. She had said in an interview that the negativity she receives interferes with her creative process and it makes sense. How can anyone live a normal life when there's constant hate being thrown at you, i would absolutely break down and lose my mind so she's really strong for that. 

On Christmas morning we’ll open Spotify and the covers album will be magically there with no announcement huh  

Still depressed over here. Might not ever recover. I miss you Lana. 

Everything is still up. Is she just going to stop posting or will IG and Twitter just go away.
How to disappear. 

What if she’s only deleting the apps and keeping her socials up but ghostly? 

Part of me feels like she's gonna forget that she posted that and end up keeping everything up 
 
That part of me being the delusional part of me 

Listening to Text Book this morning and reading this thread and I have some thoughts. Just a note, this might be a COMPLETE REACH but 
First, the lyrics "I guess this is really the end I've never felt jealous before this year but I'm jealous now" really hit me differently after her announcement last night. Maybe she's referencing the experience of watching her friends live a normal, fame-less life on Instagram. We know she wants privacy more than ever and is probably sick to death of the trolls commenting on her posts. Her thoughts, body, music are all open to be critiqued in the comments of her posts and I'm sure she has read some hateful things. I don't see this announcement as spur of the moment.  @lustforlife said BB is "the end of Lana Del Rey". Maybe de-activating her socials is just the first step down a road of seclusion and letting the music speak for itself. 
 
Secondly, we know Text Book starts the album. Lana said BB is about "what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now".  The lyrics "and then there was the issue of her I didn't even like myself or love the life I had"  stuck out to me. I see these lyrics as young Lizzie speaking about not liking herself or the emotionally unstable home she lived in as a young girl / teen. In some ways, the creation of the Lana Del Rey persona saved her from that life (or maybe it felt this way to her in the beginning): it brought money,  instant adoration and freedom to build a new life for herself. Years later, though, the "Lana Del Rey" name has also brought a ton of baggage: think pieces, 0 freedom or privacy, twitter hate, etc. Maybe deactivating is just a way for her to begin tearing down this image of Lana Del Rey and only letting the music shine through. I could see her being very reclusive (like Fiona Apple) and popping out for interviews once every few years. 
 
I don't think she will ever retire from music but this record is definitely a turning point for her. I'm excited to see the story she paints in BB and hoping it all comes together. 
And maybe this is just me dwelling too much on the fact that I won't get a "Lana Del Rey posted" push notification for the foreseeable future 

can't believe she really is leaving social media but i wish her all the best  
 
how f*cked up is this world that this feels like she just announced she's gonna die? she's literally only deactivating her socials, she's not out of this world. i'm gonna miss her random unfiltered posts, her false release dates and beautiful selfies! but i'm excited for new mysteries, new art and surprise album drops.
WE LOVE YOU, LANZ ❤️

Numbers… I was thinking about that. She’s gonna hit 21 million followers… I can’t even imagine what a huge platform like that can signify to one singular individual - especially to someone like her, who exposes a lot of herself in her art. Someone always true to herself, for better or worse. 
 
 I love her. I just wish the best to her.
