Heroin

Since I live in Austria I'm going for sure. It's going to be my first time seeing her live omfg

If she's not coming to Vienna, I'll riot.

i really really love how deliciously mature she looks in this video, already in Love she looked so voluptuous and wise in an unearthly way but the BAR WM mv has her looking like a godess   
 
you go Lana, i really think that the grounds in which she stands rn allow her to pen more mature and heavy lyrics so, if Heroin, F, Love, Architecture, Yosemite and RBFY are the direction she's going for i'm all for it. Themes of how things are and how things should be. I hope she makes an EP to close her journey of LfL or makes a more ambitious personal project for LDR6. As far as the video goes, I'll wait if she announces another one or she works her way though a new thing. I see her as having a very independent artistical mind so, jumping through conclusions, she probably didn't like how her label interfered with her UV mv and the whole debacle about the production with Dan Auerbach. I'm projecting but, I see why she would have a lull in terms of visual artistry. Also reading all these 2011/2014 think-piece writers wannabe and their botched up analysis and criticism of Lana's projects I'd be angry in a "you don't deserve me and my work" kind of way. I'd make iphone videos as a FU statement tbh ... And Lana has been releasing a lot: even artists who have their songs written and composed for them don't produce as much every single year. She's great in my books, now more than ever and even the classical artists of the past who stood the test of time weren't on their A grade in all instances. Lana still stands out because people are still concerned about her past work, all her previous albums and even her leaked/unreleased work is relevant to this day and she's unique and cohesive enough to justify why a lot of new wave artists look up to her. 
 
I don't know why I wrote a whole brick to say that I love lana so much, anyway i'm sure the best is yet to come and she looks damn fine in the video. 

coachella is such a weird way to spell get free

Reported. Thank you.

Fuck u Jayz and fuck all ur fake streams
 

Lust for Life reached #1 in multiple countries with little-to-no promo, and she scored 100k during pretty shitty sales climate. She did terrific.

Win: Heroin

Heroin is perfect

Sorry the interviewer guy bothered me. He seems so monotone, so emotionless, and so uninterested. Idk. His questions were pretty good but he just seems like some sports jock douche. Not the first person I'd think to interview Lana. Maybe I'm ignorant. Has he interviewed the queen before?
 
I loved when he called the Summertime Sadness Remix her "biggest hit" and she replied with "really? You're gonna say that". I'd get offended too lmao. "Video Games" is definitely her biggest, signature hit.

Me when the Cherry chorus drops while I'm walking:
 
Me:

 
Inner me:

No offence but Change is one of the best

BPBP is what Hey Girl aspired to be

So I've been had a few thoughts about this album since I first listened to it in full, but decided to let them stew a little in case any other points came to me, and basically I have a feeling that Lana has been getting professional help from some sort of psychologist, counsellor or therapist and was possibly diagnosed with clinical depression and is now on medication. I know others in the past have speculated about her mental health and it has often been quite unhelpful and actually accusatory of Lana as fuelling her own sadness, when in reality she has probably had a serious mental health condition that she wasn't aware she could treat, or perhaps she was aware but didn't seek treatment.
 
She has said that she saw a therapist three times before but found it quite unsuccessful.
 



 
Quite clearly she has had mental health issues in the past (admitting so herself), likely a combination of anxiety and depression, perhaps related to her past substance abuse with drugs and alcohol, that she has openly spoken about.
 
In "Lust for Life", there are a lot of lyrical allusions to this theme, in my opinion, that I wanted to discuss.
 
What first struck me was the song "Heroin", in particular, the following lyrics:
 
"I'm flying to the moon again, dreaming about marzipan
Taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away"
 
I think she's being quite explicit here, in that she is clearly taking some sort of medication that is having an effect on her mindset. A common treatment for anxiety or depressive disorders is obviously through anti-depressant or other similar medications. One could argue that this medicine could be for anything, but I say that because she says it "takes [her] thoughts away" it's clear to me it's not to address any physical/bodily issue, but a psychological one related to mental health.
 
In the outro of Heroin she sings about wanting to make a change for the better, that there's something that "makes [her] head go crazy" and she'd "be lying if [she] said she wasn't sick of it". To me, this is Lana saying that she is willing to admit she has had many problems in the past. And if we look at "Get Free", she seems to admit that she really only has herself to blame for many of these problems.
 
"Like my part was I was not discerning
And you, as we found out, were not in your right mind"
 
Clearly she's had a difficult time discerning when she's in toxic situations/relationships with people not in their "right mind" but is finally coming to acknowledge that and try to make amends to that. It makes sense if you think about what she's said in interviews recently, about trying to finally move on from toxic relationships and take care of herself first and foremost, rather than unhealthy and unhelpful people.
 
When she sings of taking "the dead out of the sea and the darkness from the arts", and wanting to "move out of the black and into the blue", to me, this is her acknowledging she's been severely depressed and is finally ready to "cross the threshold" and make a step towards taking care of herself properly. She also wants this to be translated to her music and art as well, believing she can help others out there. Her "commitment", her "modern manifesto" is to gradually work on changing her mindset and sharing that with "all of us who never got the chance", "for... [insert name] and for... [insert name]". 
 
The chorus of "Get Free" supports this whole idea as well. She feels as if she's "got a war in [her] mind" (as alluded to in "Ride"), but finally admits she "want to get off" from "riding the ride"; a ride that has ultimately worsened her way of thinking.
 
And these lyrics are also really important as well...
"I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game or live my own life
But now I do, I wanna move"
 
She is finally ready to take control of her life and get her life back together. Also, as a side note, when she sings of rainbows in the second verse, I have this weird idea that she could be thinking back to when she frequently used hallucinogenic drugs in the past, like going on a trip and seeing a wide array of colours, but they're not real, "their arches are illusions" and they "put you in a trance" (a literal, drug-induced trance). The way she sings about drug use on "Heroin" and that line about wanting to "get that cigarette smoke outta my face" on "In My Feelings" seems to me that she is becoming more aware of the harmful impact drugs have had on her life, and she's trying to move away from that. We saw this idea surface on Honeymoon, in "Religion", where she says "it never was about the money or the drugs", relegating them to something insignificant and a waste.
 
Heck, even the official iTunes description for "Lust for Life" talks of how in "Get Free" she "makes a vow to shift her mindset".
 

 
Now, I could be wrong about her having depression (although, I wouldn't say it's that far-fetched considering the highly melancholic tone in most of her work and her admitting she has had to see a therapist before, multiple times as well), but I think that for sure Lana is trying to grow and become the best person she can be through personal commitments to developing her character and living her life healthily. That's why she sings on "Change" about hoping that "by the time summer is done, [she'll] be able to be honest, capable" and so on.
 
Anyway, excuse the Graham4everything length essay... I hope this wasn't a completely incoherent ramble but rather gives a little bit of an insight into my interpretation and understanding of Lust for Life. I genuinely think that Lana is on a path towards complete self-recovery from toxic relationships, a totally negative mindset and the wild, drug-addicted days of her past.

An album. Heroin is my favourite Lana song ever and I'm not being hyperbolic. A psych electronica rock pop alt post apocalyptic future retro masterpiece. The Mason references and the images of junkies spraying the walls w their blood make me shiver. It just makes everything else she's done sound so irrelevant in comparison
 
World At War is inexplicably sexy and seductive. The bridge gets me hard. Especially when she sings "when the world was at waar mmm". I'm shaking
 
GBA is just so beautiful and melancholic. The second part of the chorus is especially gorgeous.
 
Get Free is a brilliant closer that I feel kinda lays the ground for her next record.  Also, I love how high in the mix her vocals are during the "OUT OF THE BLACK..." part. It gives the song another dimension. She's an INCREDIBLE producer. Blown away by her vision, genuinely
 
 
It kinda annoys me how underrated WIld Mustang is. It's hypnotising. LOVE the whistles. I feel it'd have easily been a Lizzy song had she sung it in a higher, Lizzier tone.
 
In My Feelings is sucha highlight poor the peeps who pretend they dislike that delicious and addictive faux trap beat aah. The bridge is insane. Such an anthem. The lyrics are fucking amazing and hilarious. "I'm crying while I'm cumming" is such a good line. I'm gonna quote it w every chance I get from now on
 
All in all I'm very satisfied and happy with album. I honestly expected the worst after Coachella. Glad Legend proved me wrong <3
 
 
Also, she better exploit her relationship w Gerald. A Taylor Swift tea.

Just wanted to talk about how she writes "Lost for Life" above her handwritten tracklists, and I believe that @SuperMegaStan said it on the Instagram Updates thread, that maybe Lana is trying to convey that a "lust for life" is having a lust to find your way when you're lost in life.
 
I do believe that after Lana realized she wasn't in the spot where she thought she'd be when she finished working in LFL, she tweaked the album to fit where she was at - she didn't want ingeunine songs on the record that didn't reflect the state of mind she currently had.
 
I believe that's the reason why the album was delayed and why she writes "Lost for Life" at the top of the tracklist - she even said it in the Pitchfork interview - she doesn't know what the album is about, and she doesn't know where she's at. She's confused, hence, "lost for life." Anybody else agree, or see what I'm saying?

Guess who isn't on the mod queue anymore??
