Lana already mentioned "world-building" in a interview with Billie where she said this:

"It’s funny, this album felt totally effortless. When I did Norman Fucking Rockwell! it was about world-building, whereas this was straight vibing."

Many of you said that with NFR! she was trying to please the critics, but it was just the same "world-building" as with Born To Die and other albums. She's not trying to limit herself, she's enjoying the whole process and trying out a new style of songwriting. That's all.

If the album leaks on the 10th, there's nothing we can do but listen to it cus it was always meant to come out that day, god's will working through. 

us on March 10th listening to the album in 5kbps because someone found a cassette in a random store.
 

listened to BB again after a long time and it's still one of her best vocal performances ever
this song doesn't need any further production because it's mainly carried by Lana's voice

Crazy that so many of y’all hate on Blue Banisters, I just adore the song (and the whole album !). It’s atmospheric, full of emotions, dreamy, the songwriting is great … I’m happy to know that Tunnel will be as personal as BB was 

The Billboard interview made me even more excited for this record, as if that was possible. I'm always perched for her to go deeper lyrically, and I appreciate that she now is keen to go as deep as possible.
 
The alternate A&W lyrics she sang on TikTok are also indicative of her readiness to disclose the breadth of her experience. That little video alone has shed so much more light on the album version's bridge lyrics (the section beginning with "God's a charlatan..." now seems to be extremely coded). 

He’s also a featured artist on the album too. How did that come about?
I was done with the album, and he came in for a couple days. We sat there, and I said, “let’s just play the piano.” I can make a song out of anything Jack plays. That’s actually how Norman got started too. He just plays and I just sing. He started playing something and then I was thinking about his fiancée [Margaret Qualley] who I just can’t live without! I love her. I started singing “he met Margaret on a rooftop / she was wearing white / and he was like / ‘I might be in trouble.’” I asked him what he thought we should say in the second verse because with him and Margaret it was a “when you know you know” situation. He had the idea to sing about what you should do when you don’t know. He started singing, and I told him he should just sing it on the record. It was really fun.
 
Margaret sounds like it's going to be such a sweet, heartwarming song after a handful of very heavy and personal tracks. 

Patty who ? 
I don’t know how look like Lana’s relationship with her mother but If she feels some anger or just disappointment in her it’s okay not to talk about her or sing.
WFWF was the first song when she really said something about her and I am proud of her because sometimes talking about people who hurt you its tough and hard.
I don’t have any relationship with my father and taking about him make me most of the time angry or just upset so I don’t mention him in conversations. 
I just hope she feels comfortable singing about Patty 
 

The way any slight information or news triggers fights every time 

Yes

Yes, and you have a big storm coming if you don't 

yes

I am not religious in the slightest and I would occasionally go to church myself. It’s interesting to explore religion sociologically + it’s quite pleasant if you come across a good priest and the building is historical and has a good choir. 

ya I think Lana is agnostic and believes in a “higher power” not god necessarily or the Bible, I’m not sure why she goes to church but maybe her family just like going, churchome or hill song whatever it’s called seems more like an LA life-coach session than an actually church anyway

right, for me this line is more like she's just asking the person to sing her like someone would sing a Bible Hymn, with love, devotion idk, good feelings in general 

How’s Find your way back to my bed again/Sing me like a Bible Hymn for you?

I honestly don’t think she’s that religious

I don’t think Lana is religious. Yes she’s going to church and she is Christian but that doesn’t mean she’s religious. She has always been exploring religion in her songs from a philosophical perspective. She has many “blasphemous” lyrics: God’s dead, I said, “Baby, that’s alright with me” or When I’m down on my knees you’re how I pray

God seems like a symbolism for.. something i dont know yet lol. the lyrics are very straightforward sometimes and sometimes they're very random shit that is not random at all? there's something laying underneath i have my perception of the song but i'll keep it to myself

idk i mean the end is great, the whole song is, it’s just… not innovative at all. which isn’t inherently a bad thing whatsoever! like i said the song is amazing!! something doesn’t need to be trailblazing to be great (obviously), but the direction lana’s been going in these last few years is simply more interesting and unique than A&W is, which makes the song a great single, but not a standout for me at this point in her career. i guess i’m just a sucker for the weirder more abstract stuff
 

Don’t get me wrong A&W is a great song but it’s already being painfully overrated in the same way Cinnamon Girl was  the pop fans got excited to hear some synths and got ahead of themselves, the songs are amazing but don’t really touch lana‘s actual best work. I think there are a lot of songs on Ocean Blvd that I will enjoy a little more than A&W. but it’s a wonderful single

I love how people act like any exclusive info comes from here and it’s not just 1670 pages of pure nonsense
