Have y'all listened to the acapella of 'Born to Die'. It surprised me that the line was: 'I feel so alone on the Friday nights' Instead of being 'on a Friday night'. I know she sings it that way live nowadays (and even 'every Friday night'), but listen to the acapella version and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

THIS. • 'Florida Kilos' We NEED to know what the hell is she even saying in the verse quoted by @strangeweather. • 'Sad Girl' Do y'all think it is; 'creeping around on the side' or 'we've been around on the side'? • 'Ultraviolence' I know we all agree that the lyrics from the bridge are; 'blessed is this union', but 'blessed' sounds weird to me, it sounds like 'blessed is this - this union" • 'God Bless America' Also, have we already established what are the canon lyrics from the bridge from "God Bless America"? • 'Swan Song': Is it 'Dive in, dive deep in dark blue my suede'? As a non-native English speaker, could somebody tell me if it does actually makes sense? • 'Is This Happiness" I've got my DARE vs I've got my DAD? • 'Get Free' "Gone is the burden... "from the Crowley way of being" VS "from the crowd, the way of being" • 'Venice Bitch' "Life's dream, I'm sweet for you" VS "Livestream, I'm sweet for you" We need answers, Elizabeth Grant.

So the lyrics in 'Music to Watch Boys to' was NEVER "blue ribbons on ice"?!? I'm shocked. Also, what do y'all think about the line: "Playing their guitars, only one of my toys" being "I play 'em like guitars, only one of my toys". I remember buying a 'Honeymoon' songbook and it was written that way but idk.

So, we can conclude that in 'Salvatore' the word is 'Calciatore', right? Thanks @Eclipse <3 Oh, how I wish we could have the chance to ask Lana what are the official lyrics to some of her songs. It irks me when in meet & greets fans waste the opportunity to ask her the real questions. 'Lana, what the fuck are you saying in the bridge of Cherry?', for instance. I truly WISH she released a book of her lyrics (something like Florence's 'Useless Magic') — it's not like she's the one who's going to write them from scratch, she just has to proofread them and detect the mistakes and ask someone to edit them and call it a day. Smh.

which one of these options does make sense the most to y'all? For me it's the first one but idk

I always thought it was; His Bonnie on the side Bonnie on the side And then His money on the side Money on the side

Oh, if only we had access to the stems/vocal mixes of some of this songs to understand the words... As she has admitted that being lazy is the reason why she doesn't put the lyrics on the booklets anymore, smh.

I believe in one booklet it said "can you break this heart of mine", like what ????

Ohhh, if it wasn't for the 'storm' line before it, it would actually sound pretty cool, it'd make sense!

Fellow Lana worshipers, I'm a soul in need. We all know Lana likes to adopt certain accents or ways of pronouncing words that make some of them hard to be understood clearly. Do you have problems understanding what Lana's trying to say in certain songs? Here is a list of mine, if you also have doubts about what the hell is she saying in some of her songs, and —just like me— would like to find out the real words, please add your lyrics so we could make them out clearly (or try to guess what sounds the most logical, at least). • 'Lust For Life' -There's no need for us to: • come away • complain • come and lay -Too much fun tonight: • And A lust for life • And OUR lust for life • 'Sad Girl' -His Bonnie on the side makes me: • sad, sad, girl • a sad, sad girl • so sad, girl • 'Shades of Cool' -I'm one of many: • Bonnies blue • One is blue •'Fuck My Way Up to the Top' -Tell me something: • Like, I'm your favorite girl • Nice, 'bout your favorite girl • 'Fuck It I Love You' -California dreamin' got my money on my mind: • jazz is in my veins • drugs is in my veins • chances in my veins

They would definitely do that for the 10th year anniversary! Maybe including some outtakes fully mastered and produced. Something like this: CD1 — Standard Edition + 3 Bonus Tracks CD2 — Outtakes (Kinda Outta Luck, You Can Be the Boss, Damn You, Driving in Cars With Boys, and such).

"Our lust for life keep us alive" Good to know that line is canon (rather than "a lust for life"). It makes sense considering she changed the subject from the demo version (from singular to plural).

Random fact, but that siren-like sound at the end is known as the 'G-Funk' West Coast synth sound; prominent in the late 80's and early 90's hip hop movement (songs like "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg, "Nothing But A G Thang" by Dr. Dre, among several other hip hop songs). It was a big thing back in the day. I'm pretty sure it was added as a nod/homage to that.

Hey, I was wondering if any caritative soul could help me to find her version of "Du Är Den Ende" in mp3/m4a. I've tried to buy it but I can't seem to find where to do so!

"In the Flats of Melrose" (From the book Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass).

Honeymoon was the last — and in my personal opinion the most — cohesive record asthetically and sonically wise. So much for a so called 'vanity' project as she refers to it.

I hope she uses capital letters in the titles, I'm SO over the all-lowercase songtitles in the music industry in general. It looks predictable and cringy at this point.

Thanks for the quick reply! Actually, I tried once to increase/upscale the loudness with Audacity and it was a mess, hahaha. But then again, I have literally no knowledge on the topic jj

I'm not an audio expert, but I've had noticed something about the mixing/mastering of the volume of 'Norman Fucking Rockwell!' (the album). For some reason, the volume sounds 'quieter' and 'lower' when comparing it to Born to Die or Ultraviolence. Hell, even Honeymoon, being a chiller and low-scale record sounds louder. I've bought the record on Itunes as well as the physical version to make sure it wasn't my headphones, radio or even my ears (lol). Does anyone think similarly? Is it just me? Do anyone know how or where can I find a 'louder' version of the album? The other day I asked the same question on Reddit and the only answers I got where 'turn up the volume' lol.

god bless you, sweetheart!

thx a lot for taking your time to answer! But I was looking for the mp3 links, tho... Does anyone have them?

Could please a generous soul help me to find "Burning Bridges", "Heavenly Lies" and "Felt The Bleed", please? As the pico-links are dead (just as the website), I can't find them anywhere, and I'm thirsty for those unreleased tracks, please. You'd make someone really happy <3

could please somebody rip the Cornflake Girl cover? I don't really use Spotify and I really want to hear it and add it to my collection! I'd be really grateful~
