I know it isn’t explicitly said, but based on her interviews, her past songs, and the way the instrumental builds up throughout the whole song, I think Chemtrails is a metaphor for the chaos all around us that we’re both aware of, but can’t reach out to fix. 
 

Just going off ‘Chemtrails”... It’s a conspiracy theory that has many different paths depending on who you ask. (Some say it’s weather control, some say it’s chemicals in the air to affect us/our mood, some say it’s total BS)

 

I think it’s just the fact that the chaos is there no matter where we are (The country club, the market, school, the pool) and as aware of the chaos as we can be, we can’t fix it. It’s there and it threatens us no matter where we are or what we’re doing (our hair, laundry)

 

but that’s just a theory....a Lana theory 

 

Not a theory, that's literally the meaning. Sorry if it sounds rude but the anti-Chemtrails need to understand   You described it perfectly

The message is not that hard to get, it's still not a lyrical masterpiece. She could have executed that concept much better. The way it is now, we still have this overdramatic title/chorus and loads of weak, trivial lyrics that do not match up to it. Same with LMLYLAW

White Mustank is garbage and nowhere near as intricate as COCC but whatever floats your boats 

 

An-knee-ways, I'm still claiming "Wild at Heart"

I’ll beat you

And that's an opinion I totally respect! I just can't believe some people would be so hard on the song (and this applies to any other song) simply because they think it's meaningless, random, etc. I myself like to analyze songs from her that I don't like at all, simply because I like to understand her thoughts.

i have a feeling the raw-ness of this album will break me emotionally, but in a good way 

 

so we're going for a raw cocc?

To each their own but Chemtrails is clearly about so much to a lot of us, so it's a little funny seeing people repeatedly tell us how basic it is when that's clearly not the case for a lot of people and it's resonating strongly.

 

The title or themes of the song are not as complicated or abstract as some of you are pretending, it's pretty clear that it represents that chaotic turmoil and uncertainty that hovers over everyday life. It's creative and clever, her best album title by a long shot in my opinion.

 

The astrology references aren't cheesy or meaningless either. I couldn't care less about astrology but they add to the lack of acceptance she feels from just being who she is. She wants to be cute and playful but is quickly rejected (you won't play, you're no fun.) She then revisits the line and ends the song with it, suggesting to me that it doesn't matter if people won't play and choose to reject her, she'll keep being her regardless of what people say. This idea is reinforced throughout the song (I don't care what they think, drag racing my little red sports car. I'm not unhinged or unhappy, I'm just wild.)

The instrumentals build and build throughout the song and even start to drown her a bit at the end, which is true to the overwhelming nature of life at times. Then we're left with the lingering drum solo that makes you feel a little bit lost and unsure of what's to come.

 

For me, everything about the song is extremely well thought out and means so much. It's manages to be both peaceful and unsettling at the same time.

I agree with all of that except when you say that the instrumentals build up throughout the song. The lyrics are good, and the melody is actually beautiful, but I wish the instrumentation had been a bit louder and not as subdued and soft. The song would've benefit from being a bit more bombastic and hard hitting in my opinion. After hearing the cover from that Australian band (that I can't remember the name, sorry!), I just thought to myself that 'COCC' honestly had the potential to be a more intense track.

i hope you all can find something in this album you personally resonate with and feel touched by. if you don't at least this pre-release will be a sweet memory to look back on, i always enjoy these times with you all even through the chaos.

That's fair! I personally love the softness of the production and the details that emerge, I think it fits really well with the vibe and themes, but I can see why others would prefer something a bit bolder as well.
