I've been constantly thinking about this particular line from "Old Money"
 
"Will you still love me when I shine
from words but not from beauty?"
 
I came to realize that Lana actually foreshadowed whats to come - a turning point for herself since NFR until now. The way she leaves that glamourous lifestyle, fashion, face, body, etc. Dont get me wrong, she is still a beautiful woman right now, but we can see Lana has toned her outer side, the "look" down through times, she's now giving more of natural simple life woman beauty, not glamourous celebrity type of beauty - The kind of beauty that you have to take a deep look spiritually, not just a "look". It shows now that she is the kind of woman whos happy in the background of a photo and lets her friends shine, dont even care if the picture got her right angle or not (she even said this herself on an ig caption of a pic with Nikki as i remember).
This also shows us her music & sound direction as well: More about the realness of lyrics, instead of big, expensive production that we love from "Honeymoon" or "Born To Die". I can see she really wants to let the beauty of words shine, not the beauty of the production à la LDR9 was dubbed as a "conversational" / "wordy" album that she doesnt even describe it as a particular tone of color. And we can see after L4L era, she is more showing off her thoughts, her words, her points of view & her poetry. Hence "my life is my poetry, my love-making is my legacy" - Lana is just doing what she has said.
 
Lana does not change, she is more who she is than ever. So I dont care what anyone might doubt about LDR9 direction - I entrust my faith & love in her vision for this upcoming project. Because if its Lana, it just cant be less than greatness.
