You ate so hard with this I loved reading this might do my own interpretation 

Pick four Lana songs that best represent the meaning and symbolism of each element and tell me why you think what you think! Obviously it’s hard to pick just one song each but I think this could be a fun discussion. I had the idea listening to Gods and Monsters thinking wow this is such a hot song. So my list is:
 
Earth: "Blue Banisters"
The whole album is pretty earthy to me, but BB is very much Lana lamenting about the loss of love, stability and a potential home, to build on, fix up and decorate with paint and babies. This is a very elemental song actually referencing a lot of weather phenomena all coming to crash down upon the house she’s left to try and salvage alone. 
 
Air: “Fingertips"
This is ultimate air to me…words streaming from her mind with total clarity, no filtration, completely honest. And it also really showcases her amazing intellect, making metaphors on the fly and indulging her vocabulary. The song is formless like air too, it just swells and recedes and transforms along with the words.
 
Fire: "Gods and Monsters"
It’s a very fiery song about yearning for a kind of power plus destruction, transformation, raw energy. Burning away innocence to achieve the burning desire of the ego, in a highly volatile place.
 
Water: “Mariners Apartment Complex"
She is like an ocean - sadness, darkness, deepness. Emotional tides, crashing waves. She’s both in command of it all but essentially one with it too. It’s all about fluctuation, of character and circumstance. And there is such a purity to this song, even with the cover art she’s so bare-faced and beautiful, I remember thinking that it was like a rebirth after LFL.
 
 
I actually asked chatgpt what it thought and it said: 
 
Earth: "American"
"American" embodies the essence of the earth element through its thematic focus on nostalgia, Americana imagery, and rootedness. The song evokes a sense of place and belonging, celebrating the landscapes, traditions, and myths of America. Its references to nature, small towns, and highways evoke a connection to the earth and its enduring presence in the American psyche.
 
Air: "High by the Beach"
"High by the Beach" captures the airy quality of the element through its dreamy atmosphere, ethereal vocals, and evocative lyrics. The song's imagery of vast horizons, ocean breezes, and soaring melodies evoke a sense of freedom, escapism, and weightlessness. It reflects the ephemeral nature of air and the desire for transcendence and liberation.
 
Fire: "Burning Desire"
"Burning Desire" embodies the fiery energy and passion associated with the element through its sultry vocals, intense beats, and seductive lyrics. The song's themes of desire, lust, and longing ignite a sense of urgency and intensity, mirroring the transformative power of fire. It evokes the heat of passion and the drive to embrace life's pleasures and risks.
 
Water: "Dark Paradise"
"Dark Paradise" represents the element of water through its haunting melodies, melancholic undertones, and introspective lyrics. The song's imagery of turbulent seas, drowning emotions, and submerged desires evoke a sense of depth, fluidity, and emotional turmoil. It reflects the profound and mysterious aspects of water, symbolizing the depths of the human psyche and the currents of love and loss.

I… I don’t know if I wanna hear Snow on the beach to be honest. 

See if she’d just seen a real doctor instead of getting Tessa to remotely vibe the laryngitis  away 

"Tessa DiPietro spent two hours lifting that cough remotely through her body intuitive skills"  Ong she is just so

ive been adoring artists who make music(?) in a 'sign crushes motorist' style. not sure if they are the ones who totally created the style but those monologues over sad slow instrumentals talk about topics in such a relatable way that and I find that 'mystifying'

I'm so curious About the final version I bet it'd still acoustic but no one has revealed that yet to keep excitement for smth

day 3726376 of listening to waco texas (demo)

exactly...we need dust bowl people

dust bowl, can i get a crumb of dust bowl (final)

Well… yes, and?

I feel like her pink goblin suit would not fit at Lana's concert aesthetically and at all

Fair enough
 

if people are actively at coachella and finish a set and go on reddit their opinion is nullified and are chronically online

As long as Twitter is gagged then i don’t even care because I can just pretend it never happened and enjoy the fact that she looks amazing and is ginger again 

And this one is just for the Honeymoon fans: how are we feeling that the only song she chose to “perform” was the interlude? 

the way she decided to start popping off NOW???

Yay A&W but she should’ve started with this lol

yeah I have it 

who the hell trapped lana in a hologram. get her out so she can sing you can be the boss pls 🔮

MIKU HATSUNE MEET YOUR ENDER
