Sorry but ... that makes no sense at all. Just because she often uses a word in a specific way, does not mean that the obvious meaning of that line has to be nonsensical and twisted :eek: Let's not step into the Lanapedia-trap here.

She wants to "love him like a woman" (whatever that means), she wants to hold him like her child. She draws on some sort of motherly-love-metaphor here. When you hold a baby you have a lot of responsibility, you care for it and you will most likely do anything to keep it safe and comfortable. That's what she's offering her man here, that's what she asks him to do - completely trust her, allow her to be close to him. In the end, the songs lyrics are about leaving LA together, probably to escape the city's stress and focus on their relationship/ settle down.

Holding someone/ something like a (literal) baby would do is not an idiom anyone really uses (not even if "baby" is used as a description for a lover), and the only thing that it potentially could mean does not fit in with the message of the chorus

um although I'm not a native English speaker, I don't quite get why it would be that unnatural to use 'to hold someone like a baby' in the sense that i understood at first (which, by the way, makes perfect sense to me, because that'd be in the continuation of the somewhat pleading tone of 'let me love you' and in the submissive position that she often associates with womanhood and which echoes being defined as a man's girlfriend). I'm not saying your interpretation is wrong or doesn't make sense, I'm saying that I think both interpretations are possible (and I gave elements that supported mine, that is to say several other lyrics she used). If saying 'to hold someone like a baby' can't mean the 'like' applies to the subject, and not to 'someone', my bad, but I'm still not sure it's the case.

the fact that lmlylaw is the only song that has electric guitar on cotcc makes me sad :wowcry: 

but the fact that yosemite has some tambourine that i can do my waka waka dance to brings me back :sass:

This era is kinda like David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. He made the 2seasons & Fire Walk With Me long time ago and then he made the 3rd season of Twin Peaks in 2017 and stated that in order to understand fully you need to watch Fire Walk with Me. I feel like Lana is doing something similar with this project, perhaps an indirect sequal to AKA. Also Lynch had almost zero promo for his Twin Peaks: The return. Similar to Lana having almost no promo for Cotccf AKA The return to Lizzy Grant era

Lana is too lazy for that, she’d have to re-record all the songs.  She failed spectacularly at american classics then ignored she even announced it. 


she’s not to lazy to re-record songs and she didn’t fail at the American Classics. She has not one but two cover albums already recorded :scoff:

 

While releasing an album in two weeks and a poetry book soon

 

The only thing we should be negative about today is the fact that we should have the album today

And yet, seeing all the new releases (singles and albums/EP), maybe it was a good idea to delay Chemtrails by two weeks.

im sure her team was aware of it and maybe that helped push the decision to do a slight delay. Although with Lana’s fanbase I don’t think it really matters when she releases. She drops something and it gets a lot of people talking

It makes no sense to say it in that way. It would be something like "Let me hold you like a darling" ... like, nobody says somethinglike that (and I personally think that it would not make any sense either). I don't want to be the smartass here, but I think your interpretation just makes no sense in a linguistic way.


Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

We don’t really know how done those cover albums are.  I don’t think we will see Behind the Iron gate anytime soon ?

Omg I forgot she said Iron Gates would be out in March - I was so excited about it and feeling like it was so far away, and here we are now and I forgot because of COCC :thumb3:

why isn't anything happening i wish we was like ahhh

This feels like the most dry we've been this era. Even though Lana posted the WD teaser on insta just 6 days ago. :troll:

I'm foolishly expecting her to post today or tomorrow!

THE ALBUM, two weeks notice ma'am!!! :smokes:

As long as she's not releasing them there is 0 revenue from her being busy.

I mean the MOJO magazine described them both (one country and one folk) she was clearly just experimenting with different sounds and I’m team Delulu and I think eventually we’ll get the albums. I’d rather have 2 polished cover albums than one rushed one. And she just announced in January she was starting the compiling process and she’s signed to S&S she can’t just not release it, and I think it’ll be soon

I mean I’m sure she’s getting her coins from the 20,000 album variants she has for COTCC. We should be happy she isn’t rush releasing projects just to earn a little extra money, and I’m sure the rollout for the cover albums will be like any other ‘side’ project she’s worked on
