  1. Personal absolute favorite record of Lana’s. She really portrait and immerse the essences and vibrations of the 60s starting from the soundscape that is a mixture of older, traditional folk to the more modernistic moods- the intentional global writing as well. New Thought. Too, is transfixed by her fashion of presenting the retro-futuristic and occultist visuals for the videos and the message that underlies within. The richest Lana record in many senses. I don’t dare to alter a thing from it, but to maybe include The Next Best American Record (a current favorite Lana song) and to have Coachella as a folk track- but I settled with all the medias that are presented to us. Somehow, Best American Record perfectly blend in w Norman. Interconnected to the past for the future


  2.  A&W

     

    This composition convey an imagery of how the dualities and the darkness and deepness within Lana’s feminine qualities encompasses condensed her to be the woman that she is now.

     

    Akin to the Full Moon intro she used in her 2016 Festival Tour as an herald to her ways of channeling Angels or transmitting Heaven- that reads:

     

    I am everyone

    Anyone

    No one

    Ten trips to The Moon- to coagulate a better sense of herself/the reveal of her heart through the bearing of the burden that left a mark in her feminine qualities.

     

    I'm a princess, I'm divisive

    Ask me why, why, why I'm like this

    Maybe I'm just kinda like this

    I don't know, maybe I'm just like this

     

    Through the fire-

    We are born again

     

    Have always thought this composition to be in the same vein/share blood with Mariners and Sportscruiser. The concept of infinity- seem to be the foundation for all groups.


  3. As for Norman, the basis of the thought that it shall sit at Malkuth (Kingdom/Earth) is the narrative throughout the record (her first record) that she did not wish to be as something bigger or to own bigger powers and such. To accept circumstances the way they seem. Even if she did ought to astral project/something metaphysic, she’s done it through projecting onto her daily lives/reality (Earth/The Body) that we can read through her writing for her future works to come and on.

     

    I've got a kid and two cats in the yard

    The California sun and the movie stars

    I watch the skies getting light as I write

     

    You write, I tour

    Really? "Heaven is on earth," she always says...the colors seem to match. Her position on the album might be hinting at placement (i.e., center = middle pillar).

     

    there are seven worlds in my eyes

    i’m accessing all of them at once
    one to draw my words from and my muses
    another one i try and harness late at night that lies
    somewhere
    off of the right of Jupiter

     

    Perhaps a hint that Jupiter/Chesed is pointing off to the right = NFR. (This line is still a bit mysterious to me, but the "seven worlds" seem to be the seven lower sefirot.)

    Before- I’m sorry if I convey such vibrations of an ego, know-it-all. My knowledge of the esoteric concept is nowhere as good as @DeadAgainst and @litwave, but maybe there shall no be harm in articulating my perspective… I truly do not wish to cause conflicts… 🙏

     

    As for how I see it, Paradise placed at Chesed/mercy is because the recurring motifs- and that is Lana who always seem to ask for such salvation throughout the record, whether that be “good” and “bad” for us, audience. 

    Notably in compositions such as Gods & Monsters that really encapsulate the qualities Chesed holds. In the song, Lana likened herself to a shining beacon, contrasting the domain, “The Garden of Evil” with The Monsters sway in the dominion. This defines one of the qualities of Chesed that is God, The Mighty One, Chasmalim, Shining Ones (The Monsters).

     

    You got that medicine I need

    Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly

    Put your hands on my waist, do it softly

    "Fuck yeah, give it to me"

    "This is Heaven, what I truly want"

     

    She croons the intention to be as something bigger/superior and celestial by abusing drugs as a medium. Of course, we know drugs substances make humans deem a sense that they can do anything that is out of physical human reach, out of touch with theirselves. The adrenaline one gets with drugs. And these elements bring us to the first, third, and fourth composition respectively. Ride, Cola, and Body Electric which each songs’ headline/theme mirror each other. Even though one knows- who portrait themselves above terrestrial entities in this temporal universe shall perish. This thought shone another elements that birthed Chesed that is The Ego and, the other, 

     

    Righteousness. 

     

    It's innocence lost

    I don't really wanna know what's good for me

     

    Diamonds are my bestest friend

    Heaven is my baby, suicide's her father

    Opulence is the end

     

    I know your wife and she wouldn't mind

     

    Drugs substance abuse obviously is lawful wrong. But for the author, anything just to endure astral response to fulfill the depth void of detachment for the author is prone to feel satisfied by anything earthly, hence it is a good matter of fact.

     

    Those are the elements that formulated the Paradise record and reasonings why I think the work shall be placed at Chesed…

     

    On the softer tone of the record, Obedience and Vision of Love is explored with Bel Air, American, Yayo. Of course, it’s simply about Lana then-usual “I’ll company him/be his muse nevertheless.”

     

    Maybe I took her words literally for this…

     

    edit: Sorry if I’m just playing with ideas like a hot potato or contradict myself.

    Tiphareth as the traditional sphere of the Son as savior. The songs generally have a theme of her needing to be saved ("Jesus is my bestest friend..."):

     

    Because I’m crazy baby, I need you to come here and save me...
    Leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down...
    God I’m so crazy baby, I’m sorry that I’m misbehaving

     

    But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!
    I will love you till the end of time
    I would wait a million years
    Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine

     

    I’m lying in the ocean singing your song
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh
    That’s how you sang it
    Loving you forever can’t be wrong
    Even though you’re not here, won’t move on

     

    Let’s get out of this town, baby we’re on fire
    Everyone around here seems to be going down, down, down
    If you stick with me, I can take you higher, and higher
    It feels like all of our friends are lost
    Nobody’s found, found, found
    I got so scared, I thought no one could save me
    You came along, scooped me up like a baby

    It all makes a lot more sense when you add in the singles. This girl is far more of a fucking genius than even I have been giving her credit for. (If you make your art in line with eternal principles, it takes on an eternal life--witness BTD's longevity on the charts.)

     

    "Music to Watch Boys" as the Magician is music as motion--Violet has no music and thus is beyond motion. It is here that she says that she knows who she is; i.e. has attained self-knowledge. Violet as the light of Ain Soph being bent backwards into manifestation.

    Thank you for the enlightenment… in awe to see the revival of this brilliant thread with wonderful thinkers. Would switch NFR! with Paradise as for me, though- but thank you regardless.

    Just curious of why you ought to place born to die in Tiphareth that is the beauty? It is because for when Lana first arrived- she was naive of the calm before the storm that is the music industry? I do agree on other placements especially w violet being the crown but I also see violet placed as the beauty. Care to dissolve your insights?
