Sobbing at how this thread was hotter than the LDR9 Pre-Pre-Release thread ever was

We're too short on Honeymoon-era unreleased stuff. Do you know why Crazy for You hasn't leaked yet?

I like to see how an artist comes up with an idea and starts working on it. I do this to myself: I write poems and keep all the drafts. I'm a bit nostalgic.

You have the same doubts as I do. Thanks for bringing this into the discussion.

Wow just googled Joan Didion. These photos look like the inspiration behind the Ultraviolence album cover.
definitely going to check out her book The White Album as this sounded more interesting than slouching towards Bethlehem

When I look back
Tracing fingertips over plastic bags
I think I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
Or maybe get your attention
For a minute or two
Just like picasso when he painted the mona lisa
He gave her all the attention she wanted
You will see me happy when I am sad
Because nobody asked picasso not to be sad

if she's doing more automatic songwriting on this album i think we should all prepare for many more random lyrics like this personally I cant wait and i hope she channels some gay slurs

okay it's either giving valley of the dolls and is this happiness where the bags are her lover's lil coke baggies or it's a scene of chemtrails-like normality w literal grocery store shopping bags

QueenOfHearts liked a post in a topic by Shades in Fingertips
The way I interpreted it was Lana being lost in thought while doing something mundane, like having come home from grocery shopping, absentmindedly running her fingers over the plastic grocery bags while she thinks about someone from her past. It seems like she's rerunning moments/experiences between them and is desperately trying to find some hidden meaning behind why they did the things they did. It sounds like she was neglected/ignored by this person and was vying for their attention, and is desperately trying to deduce whether their actions were silent messages to her.
dunno if it's right or not, but that's my take. what do y'all think

Actually this is the only thing that makes sense in Lana's context.

Probably a complete reach but my first thought was of her in her teens running her fingers over bags of drugs? Don’t drag me, I’m no lyrical mastermind, it’s just where my mind first went

idk what the hell it means but im living. I cannot seem to even put these lyrics to a melody in my head but I know she will serve a beautiful one
interesting how she seems to be writing really differently from even Norman? I enjoy her being super creative and obscure with the poetry tbh, I'm just hoping the production is a little more clean and solid than on BB to balance out some of that complexity in the lyricism.

I love this already. So she already has a tracklist in mind without having the title? or maybe she just didn't want to reveal it yet

When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
Thinking I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
Or maybe just get your attention for a minute or two?
Will I die?
Or will I get to that ten-year mark
Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?
And if I do, will you be there with me?
Father? Sister? Brother?
Charlie, stop smoking
Caroline, will you be with me?
Will the baby be all right?
Will I have one of mine?
Can I handle it?
Even if I do, they said that my mind
It's not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
I guess I’ll be fine
It wasn’t my idea, the cocktail of things that twist neurons inside
But without them, I’d die
They say there’s irony in the music, It’s a tragedy, I
See nothing Greek in it
Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with dad, grandma, grandpa, and Dave
Who hung himself real high
In the national park sky
It’s a shame, and I’m crying right now
I didn’t get to you, save you
If I take my life, find your astral body
Put it into my arms
Give you two seconds to cry
Take you home, I
I’ll give you a blanket
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
‘Cause baby I
Went through a time when I felt you were doing it
I couldn’t handle it, I was in Monaco
I couldn’t hear what they said on the telephone
I had to sing for the prince in two hours
Sat in the shower
Gave myself two seconds to cry
It’s a shame that we die
When I was fifteen, naked
Next-door neighbors did a drive-by
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beachside
I wanted to go out like you
Swim with the fishes that he caught on Rhode Island beaches
But, sometimes, it's just not your time, Caroline
What kind of ~~~ was she to say I’d end up in institutions?
All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Greene and sit by
The lake, twisting lime into the drinks that they made
Have a babe at sixteen, the town I was wed in and die
Aaron ended up dead and not me
What the fuck’s wrong in your head
To send me away never to come back?
Exotic places and people don't take the place of being your child
I give myself two seconds to cry
Let it crash over me like the waves in the sea
Call me Aphrodite as they bow down to me
Sunbather, moon-chaser, queen of empathy
I give myself two seconds to breathe
And go back to being a serene queen
I just needed two seconds to be me

Are you really saying Ultraviolence, the title track, is only on the album because time constraints? -
QueenOfHearts liked a post in a topic by GangstaBoy in Fine China
I wore diamonds for the birth of your baby
For the birth of your son
On the same day my husband to be
Packed his things to run
Was bittersweet to say the least
One life begins one comes undone
I've always been a strong woman of faith
Strong like a tree but the unlucky one
I'm going down, now
With all of my
Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory ornaments
I guess they really got the best of us didn't they?
They said that love was enough but it wasn't
The earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire but we were wooden
I wore diamonds for the day of our wedding
For our day in the sun
On the same day my mother to be said she wouldn't come
It's always been that way with me
No time for change no time for fun
It's always been that way it seems
one love begins one comes undone
I'm going down, now
With all of my
Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory ornaments
I guess they really got the best of us didn't they?
They said that love was enough but it wasn't
The earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire but we were wooden
All of my all of my fine china
All of my all of my fine china
All of my all of my fine china
blue uh ha ha ha
All of my all of my fine china
All of my all of my fine china
All of my all of my fine china
blue uh ha ha ha
Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory ornaments
I guess they really got the best of us didn't they?
They said that love was enough but it wasn't
The earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire but we were wooden
Fine china, fine china, fine china
Fresh linen, fresh linen, fresh linen
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
