"Is the sun in your eyes, Easy Rider? Do the flame-colored skies light your fire?"  (or basically any of her nature imagery from "Angels Forever")

"He was just an American kid, liked rock and roll and wanted to have fun. He felt the same way all of us did, like probably he was the only one" from Lake Placid cuz I related in my youth~

I love the fact that she reuses her dresses… so authentic and unlike shallow people that make a big deal out of something that is so right and ordinary

Her weather forecast reporter era Damn i swear if she quits music she can just do anything, any job to make a living She has the HUSTLE in her veins

Even if she didn’t do tulsa it was still one of her best shows she seemed so happy in yee haw land 

Ok but imagine that crazy electric guitar and drum outro on the album version of Ocean Blvd, it would be kinda cunt

Its crazy to me that not only is she the greatest singer/songwriter and artist of all time but she is constantly putting out music for her fans 
 
How often does an artist this good be SO active??
 
Everyday she breathes and continues to create we are literally witnessing history, a pivotal moment in time

Ultraviolence is the only Lana album where I prefer the outtakes to the actual album… something about Tropico sessions was so special

Girls in nightgowns hold their hands forever
Girls with pink lips cultivate the sound
They watch, we kiss
On a bed of roses as he lays me down 

"She made special mention of one such individual, Jane Powers. “She’s a real estate agent. I met her seven years ago in New York and I loved her. I really wanted to be a singer. I would say, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen.’ She’d say, ‘God didn’t save you from drowning just to beat you up on the shore. All you really need is patience when you have persistence.’ She’s just an angel.”

I'm sorry but there's no song quite like this one in her entire discography - maybe in all of music really (sonically speaking then yeah there are songs) but the overall vibes, the IMAGERY from the lyrics, the beat drop ugh! It is perfection and I hope she experiments more like this on her next record. Fishtail deserves some love and it really is a stunning song that adds a little anger and sadness to the album's final moments. 

My interpretation is that she’s evoking her father’s protection by a grander force (in this case in the figure of her grandfather) to keep him safe to do what he loves (which is fishing for sharks - which by itself can be literal or even metaphoric in the sense that he’s in the wilderness overcoming a species that’s stronger than him). That she chooses to juxtapose that with her own personal struggles with the way she’s perceived gives me the idea that she too longs for protection while she’s doing what she loves (singing, writing, living) without the fear of being misinterpreted or minimized in the process - her protection in this case comes in the form of the three loved ones she lost and talks about in other songs, poetically incarnated in three white butterflies.
 
It seems they’re two different subjects altogether but she ties them rather interestingly.

"Spin it ‘til you whip it into white cream baby 
Print it into black and white pages, don't faze me 
Before you talk, let me stop what you're saying 
I know, I know, I know that you hate me"
 
I love this verse so much, just copy-paste it to reply to spiteful stories about her.
