I'm really blown away by how sultry this album is and uh, being French, the line "dying by the hand of a foreign man happily" reminds me of the expression "la petite mort" which means "the small death" and stands for "orgasm". So, maybe far-fetch and I'm sorry to have to be the one bringing this up haha but this is how I feel now with this in mind: it's the story of a girl that craves for a man because she can't have it, for his fame, for his exoticism, then when she finally have it in the bridge, she simply passes to other priorities, she's playing with him. I love this so much because for once she's not the one being played, she's in control and having the fun of her life.
 
I really think it's my favourite of the record wow

Can Lana stop doing nothing for months and then dropping a billion things in 20mins because my heart cannot take it fml

I couldn't respectfully disagree more. I think the lyrics of HM are so much more powerful and empowering than BTD's one. I think it's also because I grew up, and I now much more relate to the mature lyrics of HM than the cheesy-in-a-good-way lyrics of BTD. It's not the same themes at all either, and it's really an unpopular opinion but I'm truly delighted by Lana's writing on this album. BTD has some gems of writing, VG BJ OTTR, but this album's writing quality is much more cohesive imho, as a whole, which is peculiar to this particular album. I most definitely understand your view on BTD though, even though I personally don't share it as I prefer Honeymoon Glad this is the direction this thread is going, thank you!

Now that it's out, let's discuss song theories

Can Lana stop doing nothing for months and then dropping a billion things in 20mins because my heart cannot take it fml

Is there any way to block the words "china" and "palace" when put together so they can be considered as spam and not posted smh. I will only believe what they post when Lana herself shows up at my door to confirm it 

Lol you posted one second before me. Great minds think alike

I'm coming back from running under London's absolutely pouring rain and I blasted Religion on and I no longer fear nor doubt the existence of God I mean the experience of this song's lyrics and melody and rhythm and all the nature going crazy was more revealing than any mass I ever attended

I hope no filters too but it's Lana let's be real it will prolly have one, can't wait to be proved wrong though

I know but on the pre release thread there must be at least 300 pages of pure literal shit and drama it's annoying too there's no in-between and if you have a serious post even if in the end it's not that serious it can't even be seen amongst all the other mess posts. Oh well whatever

This is one of the best outfits Lana ever wore this video is going to be iconic and perhaps her best one, big production is back and I'm both ready and not fucking ready also she looks extremely hot and I'm desperately gay bye

Fuck guys please go fight in the pre-release I mean it's exactly why me made this thread. @ any mod can someone delete all this useless posts (except May's one) and indeed maybe lock the thread? I'm writing all my theories anyway I think it's fair enough to wait until everyone heard the record but I beg you not to start a mess I love this album and I would love to be able to discuss it seriously

Should we make a post-release thread yet? I'm so eager to discuss song theories

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas to everyone stanning for Salvatore cause it's the best but why this hate for God Knows I Tried? It's godly and an absolute treasure of emotion, I know for a fact that it's what I'll hear when I'll enter the gates of heaven
