    but the real question here is: Is Lana mentally prepared to change her persona again and totally maybe get blacklased again? if so I expect her new artistic name to be something like Luna Caida

    Lana can't win first we were all like "pls stop posting random people and give us a song"
    and she gave us a song and now we're all like "okay but where are the random people??"

    So you know how Lana has said that in a lot of her songs (like West Coast and Video Games, for example) one portion of the song is based on reality and the other is focused around her inner fantasies… well, I think Honeymoon is another one of those songs...
     
    The verses seem to be about reality - her experiences with her lover have a slower instrumentation which could symbolise how reality isn't as grand or exciting as her fantasies. The instrumental intensifies into the chorus, where she sings about a 'honeymoon' with her lover, most likely what she envisions within her head, hence the more complex instrumentation. It's quite fitting the 'dark blue' lines are right before the second verse kicks in, as it shows Lana sliding back into the reality that is life with her neglectful lover.
     
    The bridge is almost an amalgamation of reality and fantasy - describing realistic qualities of her lover through deep imagery. Lana then slips back into the chorus again for the last time, which has a very dreamy sound, then starts singing the 'dreaming away your life' lines, which to me, indicates that she is finally acknowledging that she is torn between reality and the world inside her head. The scatting towards the end is a symbol of Lana getting lost within her dreams. She attempts to soften the problems she encounters with her lover by escaping to a world of her own inside her mind, where they are both happy and untroubled, however, deep inside of herself she is aware that dreams do not last forever - she is 'dreaming AWAY' her life. Although she knows that her mindset is detrimental, she can't help but turn back to it every time she remembers that things are not as smooth with her boyfriend as she wishes and dreams about. Honeymoon isn't just a song about being hopelessly in love with a bad boy, it's much more than that - it's Lana explaining how she has created a world within her head she can escape to when no other coping mechanism is enabling her to get by.
     
    Anyway, that's just a quick explanation of the summary I've come to after having Honeymoon on repeat non-stop since it came out. Please expand on this if you have any of your own ideas

    My biggest hope is that the "real" conversations are honest and clear up confusion. Yet I have a feeling this book will plunge us into further turmoil regarding the enigma that is Lana and her life can't wait though

    PARTITION
    In "Partition", the camera takes us inside a palatial estate that almost looks like it could have been the setting for the "Born to Die" video. See the exterior and interior below:

     
    In the first of several scenes curiously similar to ones out of "National Anthem", we find Mrs. Carter seated at an immaculately set table, barely noticed by her rapper husband peering over his newspaper:

     
    In her mind, she embarks on a sexual fantasy. Again she channels Rosalita:

     
    Her rapper husband feels up her leg in a vehicle:

     
    She puts on a show for him, donning a sequined flapper headdress like Lizzy wears in this photo:

     
    Silhouette techniques like something out of "Summertime Sadness" are employed:

     
    Beyoncé pole dances like Lana in Tropico over a sexy French spoken interlude like in "Carmen":

     
    Like A$AP Rocky in "National Anthem", her rapper husband watches her performance voyeuristically, smoking a cigar:

     
     
    JEALOUS
    Beyoncé is a jealous, jealous, jealous gurrrrrl. This video begins in the same estate reminiscent of "Born to Die" as in "Partition". In one scene, the former Miss Knowles is draped over a pinball machine like Lana in "Ride":

     
    In another we see a "tunnel lined with yellow lights":

     
     
    ROCKET
    Like "Blue Jeans", "Rocket" opens on a black & white close-up of a reflection of the artist's face in a ripple of water:

     
    Later in each video we watch the artist submerge her face in water in slow motion:

     
     
    MINE
    Like Lana in the poster for Tropico, we find Beyoncé re-enacting Mary in the Pieta:

     
    Also, is that another Shaun Ross cameo?
     
     
    XO
    In "XO", Beyoncé orchestrates perhaps the largest NYC land grab since Dutch settlers bought Manhattan Island from Native Americans for 24 bucks, stealing the famed amusement destination from the Queen of Coney Island herself:

     

     

     

     
     
    ***FLAWLESS & SUPERPOWER
    Since I can't find any Lana plagiarism in either of these videos, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume they must be borrowed from the "Dark Paradise" and "Cola" videos that never materialized. @@Ultraviolence Watch these. One of them may be the closest thing you'll ever get to your precious "Cola" video.
     
     
    HEAVEN
    Here we have the biggest plot heist since Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds ripped off Gremlins. In "Heaven", Beyoncé portrays a woman mourning her deceased female bff in a series of flashbacks. Sound familiar? Of course it does. It's the plot of Lana's "Summertime Sadness" video. Not content to copycat one Lana video, "Heaven" filches from a few. A shot in a church mirrors the chapel in "Born to Die":

     
    In a flashback, Beyoncé's girlfriend sprays alcohol at a campfire party echoing scenes in "Ride":

     
    And we see her and her gal pal riding in a car like Lana & Jaime King:

     
    She only barely tries to disguise her copying Lana's recitation of the Lord's Prayer in Tropico by saying it in Spanish. Oh, and speaking of Spanish, here's Rosalita yet again:

     
     
    BLUE
    Sure, there's another "tunnel lined with yellow lights":

     
    The sequined bra is back:

     
    And she evokes Lizzy's showgirl style:

     
    But most saliently, this song is about Beyoncé's, uh, baby Blue love, the black baby daughter she had with a rapper. What a blatant "National Anthem" ripoff!

     
     
    GROWN WOMAN
    Last but not least, the video for "Grown Woman" consists of home footage of Beyoncé's childhood performances, a clear homage to Lana's DIY videos.
