Beautiful People; Original Meaning
Response to her notorious Guardian interview fiasco. Putting her trust into the interviewer and he takes that to his advantage and makes an extremely controversial comment into the headline. The song’s chorus details the public’s view on the situation. The verses go ultra Lana Del Rey purposely to combat the comments about her songwriting, possibly too much as she describes abuse from her lover.
“You get so mad when I complain” The public gets mad at her for saying what she had said.
“You think I’m crazy but” While they get mad, they also don’t see why she’s hurt.
“I hear them talk, they say my name” The press, critics, public talk all about her.
Then in the chorus we switch to the POV of the public.
“All these beautiful people with beautiful problems//God knows I’ve got them” Celebrites with problems that normal people face everyday, the public doesn’t recognize that celebrities can have real problems and they discard it as them being dramatic.
“She wants to die, then she should fucking try” GP’s opinion on the situation, If Lana really wants to die then she should do it instead of complaining.
Then in the bridge background vocals come in “I can tell you what I really want”, she’s going telling the GP she doesn’t really want to die, but it’s a cry for help.
I won’t get into the verses since they don’t seem to have much to do with the general message other than being sarcastic. But the original song just goes to show how deeply she was affected by the Guardian interview and how much trust she had lost in interviewers and the public’s opinion on her. Even now today she’s obviously still affected, recording every interview, being cautious about what she speaks about and never letting herself feel comfortable in interviews anymore. Fuck the Guardian guy, It makes me so so so SO angry how he claimed to be a fan and to let her wall down and completely stabbed her in the back for a headline. Even going as far as leaking the audio when she tried to save herself. I hope he’s happy his favorite artist will never ever have love for him again

sometimes I like to think that I am this super famous popstar and I wrote and performed all the songs that lana wrote. I would talk like her and I would make all the music videos she made but she didn't exist and I looked like myself. I think her music is so brilliant and I just want to be able to say that it was all me. I feel so guilty about doing this

Darkblue liked a post in a topic by BluVelvUnderground in Snippets are letting us know that Lana's albums are still concept, and this one is really thought-out.
I originally posted this in the Pre-Release thread, but thought it'd get more attention here. Wanna explain something I happened to notice while checking out the snippets.
I honestly think "Love" was meant to set the mood for the album overall. It has the guitar, but it has the "wall of sound" hip-hop to it, as well. And then, from "Lust for Life" to "Coachella", it really is like a stretch of sexy, summer-driven hip-hop tracks and ends on a positive track that is political - and then, we get all the guitars, and the veteran folk singers (or related to them) rather than the contemporary artists that feature in the first half. I think it's very intentional that the last half is going to have a Woodstock-vibe, only through some of the familiar hip-hop additions that modernize classic sounds. "Tomorrow Never Came" sounds very 1967-71 rock. Definitely see where she's connecting the "two generations", and why she probably feels kids looking into vintage music may find it denser if they understand that history is sort of repeating itself through the anxiety of the current political American heat. It's exactly what she said she wanted to do with the album, and her chronology of the tracks seems to really suit that concept. Even at around the half-point of the album, if you count "Love" as just the intro/combination of the two sounds, and "Coachella" the track that moves the hip-hop into its poltical, folk-driven side.
Lana still doing concept, for sure.
A SORT OF CHART (lol):
INTRODUCTION (folk guitar strings open the album, but blends into spacey, "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises)
01. Love
SEXY, SUMMER-Y, HIP-HOP (7 "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises)
02. Lust for Life
03. 13 Beaches
04. Cherry
05. White Mustang
06. Summer Bummer
07. Groupie Love
08. In My Feelings
THE BRIDGE (a more stripped back hip-hop beat, letting the album kind of cool off a bit before getting more poltically-minded)
09. Coachella..
POLITICAL "GANGSTA" FOLKY-Y (7 "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises, but more laid back, with heavier guitar and folk featured artists)
10. God Bless America..
11. When the War Was at War...
12. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems
13. Tomorrow Never Came
14. Heroin
15. Change
16. Get Free
It's like she takes us from "Coachella" to "Woodstock" by using that track as a bridge. As I predicted, the song works in concept of the album; but releasing it as a single is bizarre. From what we have in the snippets, this album seems to be very well-thought out.
