Reputation from mermaidsparkle - LanaBoards

I know a lot of people hate religion but I really think this song is about Jesus (her bestest friend). At least partly. Hear me out.

"Gargoyles standing in front of your gate"
Gargoyles originated as something that were put on churches and cathedrals in the Middle Ages.They were meant to inspire fear in churchgoers, and were also said to ward off demons and evil spirits. Look at any Catholic church even now and you'll see always gargoyles outside of them.

"I can't wait to see you, so I run like I'm mad to heaven's door"
The church is "heaven's door." It's commonly called a "thin place" where the boundary between the mortal realm and heaven is thin and God can be felt more easily.

She mentions roses and in Christian symbolism red roses symbolize the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

"You've got a flair for the violentest kind of love anywhere out there"
Jesus showed how much he loved the world by allowing himself to be brutally tortured and killed.

"Sweet child of mine, you're divine."
He's Mary's child. Also God's. Literally a divine being.

"Don't be afraid of me, don't be ashamed. Walk in the way of my soft resurrection."
I think this is actually Lana singing from Jesus PoV. The first thing he says after he is resurrected from the dead is "Don't be afraid." and he actually says it several other times in the bible. He's asking Lana to not be ashamed of him and how she feels about him and to walk in the way of his crucifixion and resurrection.

I had this idea while listening the other day. Would explain why the instrumental is so "heavenly" sounding too.

One minor correction/addition here is that Lana's boyfriend was Mikey Martin at one point. Maybe in 2006 according to photos? Lana talked about how Rob was her boyfriend at the time's best friend, and then Mikey broke up with her and "married his merch girl" and Lana ended up dating his best friend "for a minute" according to her. I think "Get Drunk" is basically her taunting Mikey like "I'm sleeping with your best friend, how do you like me now?"

My current conspiracy theory is that Lana's entire discography from BTD until now has been a psychological experiment with the aim of getting young people to think that Christian country music is cool by slowly and gradually indoctrinating them into it and judging by the reactions to this post, it's working very well.

Where did I say it's bad? I don't hate all country, I'm a huge John Denver and Dolly Parton fan. I do find it funny that people are denying an acoustic guitar track produced by a man who basically exclusively works with country artists where she's singing about being a cowgirl is a country song. You don't need to sing in an exaggerated southern accent for a song to be a country.

I disagree. The "giddy up" and "his cowgirl is gone" lines place it firmly in the country genre for me.

The low register

but I’m actually not very excited with the country direction, sorry…

This is right up my alley because I'm a huge fan of early 20th century music. I'm hoping for a vintage jazz cover. Maybe a popular Gershwin standard? Something like "Somebody Loves Me" or "The Man I Love". Either way, since it's about Christian Dior and Coco Chanel I doubt it's going to be another folk or country track so I'm excited.

If Lana kept LFL's original "witchy" / mysterious vibe, the album would've been 100x better.
