Taco Truck x VB

hoping for her

 

This changed my life and ruined it in an instant 

Imagine the collapse if the b side was Pink Champagne. 

not lana using the same pic i used in my videos when they were on youtube- what
 
also- i literally manifested it in some dms just a week ago- 

A leaked song getting a physical single release so many years later is just crazzzzy. This song has had the most wild trajectory.

If this bitch doesn’t revive the Electra heart persona…………….

'It's Shitney, Bitch' it's not actually as bad as I remembered, I think my brain merged some of the other blogposts she's made about other women into one (ie. "She was quite good until she wrecked it all by turning into everything she's not. i.e. going on a diet, dyeing her hair slapper-blonde and flashing her boobies." about lily allen)
it's a bit 'funny' in parts, she's talking about Britney similarly to how we talk about her
 

something flop happened
 
I feel like the meaning behind true is cute, but it just wasn't that good in the end. same with enjoy your life, i think that if it was slowed down and more bleak, it would've been so much better, especially considering we know she wrote EYL to try and create happiness because she was so depressed

The title of that link on dbpee is 

I just hope her lyricism goes back to the great days of Marina and the Diamonds.
In production terms I have no big issues (yeah some are bland, mostly in L+F) but she needs a second, third and fourth opinion on the lyrics (not the message, just the way the message is being worded out).

thank god, we don't need more of that

I have a headache from trying to read that, I-

it's not a bong she is smoking hookah/shisha on that pic which is just flavoured tobacco
 

At least we got Marina reference from Lana in Candy Necklace tho. Super suicidal and Bible can't be coincidental 

I want her to do something but I’m also scared of her doing something

the hotter she gets the worse her music gets

Marina & the Diamonds was a bitch but an honest one. 
 
MARINA is a bitch on disguise who acts like a higher moral person. 
 
Can MARINA die like Electra already? I miss Marina & the Diamonds so much. 

The way I want this so bad, but my realist brain keeps kicking in. Like,  she's 37. She was in her early-mid 20s with TFJ, she was she mid-20s with EH, and she was cresting 30 with Froot.

As a doddering old fuck 30-something myself, I can say that there's some grand perspective shifts and emotional changes that do come with age; and I think there's a certain energy and emotional tone that came out of the TFJ to Froot run that won't be able to be recaptured or recreated by her, just by virtue of having that much more life experience and wisdom and perspective.

L&F and ADIAML feel.....'softened' - there's just not the same attitude there anymore. TFJ had a punky, spunky, quirky energy to it. EH had this rebellious, sexy vibe that also managed to be politically aware and didn't undermine itself by doing so. Froot continued the theme, and it felt matured and sultry and swam in it's own emotions. But then L&F got a little tooooo mellowed out; and felt like it was asleep at the wheel, and ADIAML just tried way too hard - it's was too topical to a fault. (And I say all of this, finding something to love on ALL her albums, and generally enjoying all of them overall)
 
Her earlier albums pulled from her struggles with depression and anxiety, nods to eating disorders, hints at her own self loathing or career frustrations, etc. - things that all have deep emotional roots and deep emotional resonance with lots of people. Her last two albums...don't seem to go as deep, to me. They feel like they're from someone who's more relaxed with themselves, someone who's more relaxed with their career, someone who's not so hard on themselves anymore. She feels like she's turned the spotlight away from things that are drawing from within herself and are now drawing from an external source instead.
 
I just don't think she's got the mindset or the career positioning or the emotional stage to pull off anything like she did with TFJ-EH-Froot anymore.

the fact she was my no.1 artist from 2015-17 but her post LFL fake woke disingenuous fan hating facade ruined her for me. she must have fired her publicist because...
 
she will drive herself into oblivion if she doesn't do something rq 

she just became a basic LA bitch who hangs out with the likes of xylo and lizzy platypus... absolute flops who hasnt made decent music since tumblr was still alive. her whole personality being quirky anti society flower lady... she was never a genius like lana to make the correct pivots in her career or recover her pen after being sucked by the LA vapidness. ancient dreams sonically made up for the mess that came before, but her writing really continues to be cringy and not the maturity expected from a woman of her age. the way she takes such beautiful eastern spiritual concepts and ideas around consciousness and translate them into the most preachy katy perry like cringe lyrics. she really turned into a not so cool aunt who drinks wine all day and talks about her crystals. 
 
she has also rebelled against stan culture and took herself way too seriously when people were doing those she is poor memes. she has on several occassions voiced how she kinda feels weird about fans and alienated herself from them putting herself apart which is a huge mistake when you already have a small fanbase. she became the joke instead of being in on the joke and that's her fault. just an example, ellie said her new album is her least personal yet and people went crazy making memes about it and spamming her with that quote, she laughed about it and made jokes/tiktoks about it herself and even had a billboard up with that quote. if that was marina she would be so pissed and angry about that, probably saying some shit like she was taken out of context and reply passive aggressively to her fans about it. 

it's because she's too far up her own ass to have a sense of humour 

lmaoooooooo this sent me
i think this applies to majority of us in this thread 

Marina was tongue in cheek and abrasive on her first three records. Her critiques are not picking sides but rather mediating. Look at Sex Yeah lol….. but yeah she kinda turned into the girls she was writing about 

Unpopular opinion but I never understood the hate for ‘girls,’  it always came across to me as critique on society and gender roles rather than anything to do with actual gender… it’s sad to see marina herself turn on it too
 

edit. i see people say it’s the ultimate ‘I’m not like other girls’ song but I’m positive every girl in western world can relate to at least part of what she’s feeling in this song. 

She hasn't done it since Froot but let's not say anything...
