    i'm not sure if anyone has caught this yet, but i was looking at the 1st lyric post of kintsugi and i was reading the part with question marks by it: OP wrote it as:

    Spoiler

    "They sang folk songs from the forties, even befourteen year old new froggy
    came according (???). How do my blood relatives know all of these songs, I don't know anyone left who knows songs that I sing"

     

    So I did some research and i believe she's referencing like a super famous folk song first written in the 1540s called "froggey came a-courtin'"

     

    so the lyric is "even before(four)teen year old froggey came a-courting.

     

    could be wrong tho idek

    No, I spilled. She scarified her commercial sound to appeal to critics and pretends she doesn’t care, but she does and gets mad when the reviews are negative. It’s a lost lost situation where she lost her commercial appeal only to get middling reviews anyways. They sent the album super early expecting great reviews I’m sure :eartha:. The fact that she’s also perched on Instagram posting just as reviews dropped. Oh, Lana don’t make that face.

     

    It would be so much better for her to make bops for fans to enjoy then to cosplay poet and be artsy fartsy…like for what? You’re still getting zero Grammys.

    "cosplay as a poet" bro's obviously never heard the ride monologue.

    The NME review has me contemplating (god) this album in the sense that

      Reveal hidden contents

    Lana has integrated "past, present and future" into this album, giving us a lasting glimpse of her mindset today (the present case, her current reminiscing / burdens of the past, and current anxieties of the future) - when we frame that with the tunnel in mind, it's a metaphor of her entire lifespan or image as Lana Del Rey. As Lana reminds us of this tunnel which was built in the past, carried and transported many a people - cast to disarray today, forgotten and neglected - it makes us think of its future. Will we remember?

     

    Lana was the Venice Bitch. She was the child castaway from her mother, sent to an institution for her drinking. She dealt with the trauma of death and suicidal ideation. Among more. These important references to the past help frame a more cohesive picture of what made Lana Del Rey.

     

    Lana is today a sister, an aunt, a daughter, etc. She speaks of her family in present tense, discusses her current state of mind and shares the updated Lana Del Rey, who we should see her as NOW, ever shapeshifting. Lana tomorrow - she wonders whether we will remember then, whether her family will be by her side, whether it will all last the test of time.

     

    She finishes the album with Venice Bitch as a callback to who she was and still is - we went full circle through the album (\past, present, future\) and she finishes it with what Norman Fucking Rockwell essentially started with (\back to past\).

     

    I personally see Norman - Chemtrails - Ocean as a trilogy of albums. Some could even look at Norman as the past (past love, reminiscing, youthful hope), Chemtrails as the present (for its time, the press of Chemtrails was soaked in current events [covid mask, question for the culture, etc] and built during the confusion of the pandemic (a very present threat at the time, which affected her lyricism), and Ocean as the future (obviously because the entire main theme of the tunnel is about longevity & being remembered into the future).

     

    Thoughts? lol

    i see the vision fr.

    I’m so sorry for asking this bc I’ve asked it before and lost it LOL but can anyone give me the lyrics of fingertips again? Love you babes. 

    Spoiler

    When l look back
    Tracing fingertips
    Over plastic bags
    Thinking I wish I could extrapolate
    Some small intention
    Or maybe just get your attention
    For a minute or two
    Will I die
    Or will l get to that ten year mark?
    Where I beat the extinction
    Of telomeres?
    And if i do, will you be there with me?
    Father, sister, brother
    Charlie, stop smoking
    Caroline, will you be with me?
    Wil the baby be alright?
    Willl have one of mine?
    Can I handle it
    Even if I do?
    You said that I might
    It's not fair, or so they said
    To carry a child
    I guess l'll be fine..
    It wasn't my idea
    The cocktail of things
    That twist neurons inside
    But without them
    l'd die
    They say there's irony in the music
    It's a tragedy, I
    See nothing Greek in it
    Give me a mausoleum
    In Rhode Island
    With dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Dave
    Who hung himself real high
    In the National Park sky
    It's a shame
    And l'm crying right now
    To get to you, save you
    If I take my life
    Find your astral body
    Put it into my eyes
    Give you two seconds to cry
    Take you home, I
    I'll give you a blanket
    Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
    'Cause baby, I
    Ran through a time when I felt you were doing it I couldn't handle
    I was in Monaco
    I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone
    I had to sing for the Prince in two hours
    Sat in the shower
    Gave myself two seconds to cry
    It's a shame that we die
    When I was 15, naked
    Next door neighbors did a drive-by
    Pulled me up by my waist
    Long hair, to the beach side
    I wanted to go out like you
    Swim with the fishes
    That he caught on Rhode lsland beaches
    But sometimes it's just not your time
    Caroline...
    What kind of mother was she to say
    I'd end up in institutions?
    Alll wanted to do was kiss Aaron Green
    And sit by the lake
    Twisting lime into the drinks
    That they made
    Have a babe at 16
    The town was born in and die
    Aaron ended up dead and not me
    What the fuck's wrong in your head
    To send me away, never to come back
    Exotic places and people
    To take the place of being your child?
    I give myself two seconds to cry
    Let it crash over me
    Like the waves in the sea
    Call me Aphrodite
    As they bow down to me
    I give myself two seconds to cry
    Let it crash over me
    Like the waves in the sea
    Call me Aphrodite
    As they bow down to me
    Sunbather, moon chaser
    Oueen of empathy
    I give myself two seconds to breathe
    And go back to being a serene queen
    I just needed two seconds to be me

    here ya go :)

    I believe she’s gonna release a music video for every song on the album. She said it before in an interview that she would love to do that or am I mistaken?

    i think she's said it in the past but not ab ocean blvd (again, i think). i'd love for it to happen but i don't think it would be possible for an album with 16 tracks.
