    I think it would be near impossible to ever know exactly how much of her music is a play-by-play of past experiences. I think that, emotionally, she has always told the truth about what she's been through, how things felt for her. You can hear it in the lyrics and in her voice. Even if the line between fiction and reality is sometimes blurred in her songs, I've never felt "cheated" listening to her, and that's really all I care about (and possibly all I really even want to know).

    I think there's something good about not knowing for sure.
    She shrouds herself with mystery and that's part of what makes her so interesting.
     
    I don't think she was as wild as her songs indicate, I don't know if she would be so open to share if she were.

    She was built in a laboratory in upstate New York

    Do you think she's just some intelligent girl who made up a persona? Or did she actually deal with abusive relationships, drugs, addiction, dependency, etc.? Or somewhere in the middle?
     
    It's so hard for me to figure out when she's telling the truth since she contradicts herself so much and even changes her story, and her life before being famous is so unknown, so what do you guys think is true?

    Hello, so I had a thread like this when I was HBHBHB but I can't find it and it was time for a new one so here goes.
     
    Here's something I've been working on, it's a poster for Heroin inspired by the psychedelic art/posters of the 70s. It's my first time doing something like this so hopefully in the future I can improve lol

    totally love this! your interpretation really fits-- lana seems to enjoy probing into all the ins and outs of fame in her songs, so this definitely resonates.
     
    I've always thought Pin-Up Galore said a lot about how fame is such a double-edged sword, due to some smart wordplay in the song:
     
    in the first verse, "everybody's laughing" and "the crowd is cheering"-- energy is high, everyone seems to be having fun; even the performer, who feeds off positive reactions.
     
    by the second verse, this has changed to "all the men are watching" and "the crowd is screaming"-- in contrast, these words carry darker connotations-- now, the men are singled out, and I've always felt that "watching" gives such a detached air to it-- the relationship between crowd and performer is no longer mutualistic or give-and-take, it's predatory, and parasitic-- the men are observing, watching, scrutinizing this female figure, who's no longer in on the enjoyment. she's an object that they're staring down. then, while a "screaming" crowd could still be positive in some instances, the shadow over that previous phrase makes this feel dark to me, too-- are they screaming out of joy, or out of fear/horror? is the performer breaking down or growing paranoid or frantic in some way that frightens them? maybe their reaction is both-- they're terrified by what they're seeing, but they also enjoy the spectacle, no matter how gruesome the display-- they won't try to stop what's playing out.
     
    those lines always strike me as her saying that the relationship between a singer (or any performer) and their audience is so delicate-- mutual respect and appreciation can create a positive, enjoyable atmosphere; but it's far too easy for the audience to forget that the singer is human-- they become something inhuman, "not of this world", and standards for their act and behavior are raised accordingly-- so, they don't get treated as human, either. they're held under a constant magnifying glass, as anything from a sexual object to be ogled ("the men are watching") to a living freakshow when they fall and make human error ("the crowd is screaming")-- everyone can see that something is wrong, the performer is struggling-- but, as a performer, the audience believes that even their missteps belong to the world for entertainment. all of life becomes a show when you're famous.
     
    anyway, I think this is all eerily evocative of what Lana began facing (and is still facing) once she became famous-- that constant scrutiny by her worldwide audience, the objectification, the love that can just as quickly turn to backlash when she slips-- it's like she knew what was coming. fame excited her, but she was also aware of what it could do to you.
     
    or, i'm reading too much into it. who knows

    This fucking legend.. To think in the beginning she was so dismissive of her early efforts to now be deliberately directing us to it talking about old songs etc.

    I'm honestly so shook, I seriously can't believe she's using her old account. This era she is NOT playing, she is truly doing it for the fans. Love you forever Lana
