He said they are a Venice Bitch type of thing

So I guess the lyrics are not written in a complex way

Venice bitch, is still THAT, bitch for me. So I'm here for it!

i didn't think eclipse said they were bad, just similar to venice bitch-

  Hide contents

so i have hope that they're good, just perhaps simple/a little strange/bittersweet

yeah but the fact that she's talking about her Lizzy days shows there would have been an opportunity for a lyrical masterpiece, and in my opinion, Venice Bitch is far, far from that. so i hoped it'd be better than what it seems to be for white dress. we can't judge without knowing the lyrics, but i got disappointed when i learned they were akin to those of venice bitch. doesn't mean they're gonna be bad though

i don't disagree, venice bitch might be that bitch but, sure, some might think that the lyrics could maybe use a little something.... i personally don't mind them, i love the song. anyways i'm hoping the atmosphere of white dress, the bittersweet, nostalgic, loving aspect to it, and the instrumentals and melody, support the simplicity and possible rawness of the lyrics

Who expected a lyrical masterpiece when even she described the song as having "weird lyrics"

 

Y'all set yourselves up for disappointment sometimes

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 39,921]

I think Tulsa Jesus Freak is one of the songs that doesn't mention the title directly or maybe only in a verse or in the bridge ( same with Yosemite )

At least I hope it's not in the chorus. Having both " Tulsa Jesus Freak" &" White Hot Forever" in the chorus seems a little dangerous to me ( okay it depends on the lyrics to be fair)  after some recent dramas...I don't want to go through another " Cancel Karen Del Reycist " drama again ...

 

Anyways it's going to be a sensual masterpiece and the world is not ready

well i did, because of how it was called one of her saddest songs, because it's one of the few songs that deal with her Lizzy past, because she said it was clear what the song was about (whereas venice bitch??.......), because of the two-faced title, because of the 'it made me feel like a god' line 

also bartender was called weird and it has her best lyrics in a long time 

[DCooper 35,067]

I really love the lyrics of Venice Bitch. They may not be straight forward but they say so much in such a unique way. White Dress is going to blow us away, do not fear.

You can certainly express sadness and nostalgia without being a lyrical masterpiece. Say what you want about Venice Bitch, but it certainly evokes many different feelings 

 

Just saying that y'all kill yourselves with your expectations.

Venice Bitch is one of her best songs lyrically too. I s2g some people just assume the song is boring if she's not talking about snorting cocaine or domestic abuse. She gets just as much across in a lyric like "You're in the yard, I light the fire / And as the summer fades away / Nothing gold can stay" as she does in any highly dramatized song. It's just a different narrative style. The emotional impact is always there, unless you're one of those fans who just skims the surface for her classic sugar-daddy sad-girl type shit.

I just thought that the way Eclipse loved it and Lana seems to deem it special implied there would be more to the lyrics than 'ice cream, ice queen, i dream in jeans and leather'  i know the vb lyrics have some qualities but i'm just saying i expected more from white dress. now it is what it is

While I don't necessarily agree that they want her singing about doing drugs and abuse, I do agree with the rest of this statement.

girl i'm the number one hater of the songs where she glamorises domestic abuse, that's not what it's about... i'm saying a lot of her songs have lyrics that i consider to be better than those of venice bitch. on nfr, i think how to disappear, bartender, california, hope is a dangerous thing, fuck it i love you, mariners apartment complex have better lyrics. but that's just my opinion!

There's so much depth to VB (even its lyrics). Maybe you just haven't thought about it enough yet, or listened for the meaning past the words. I personally really enjoyed her more understated lyricism in NFR— it feels much more personal and much less melodramatic (she's not pulling any The Blackest Day-type "It's not one of those phases I'm going through" verses where she amplifies her situation poetically). It's not self-referential like a lot of her other work. VB is a special song, and all the lyrics (even banal ice cream lyrics) contribute to making it the fantastic track that it is.

the thing i'm scared of is that the lyrics of white dress were described (by Eclipse i think? but i might be wrong) as not that good

(Sorry, honeybadger, I didn’t want to quote you and now I can’t undo)

that fan account assembled all the info we have on all the songs, including the Mojo interview. White Dress is described by Lana almost as « free journaling ». Line Venice Bitch, I think it will create a « mood » rather than some super coherent lyrical masterpiece. Venice pulled it off because it was all about getting high; White Dress could work since the song is about memories of her past, where the memories aren’t always coherent.

Venice Bitch is in my top 10 songs of hers, so hearing some similarities in the White Dress lyrics will please me 

 

I also wish to hear something similar sonically oh please yes

One line in a nine minute track does not diminish the quality of the track

Also like,,,, Lana has written far worse lines (we're talking about a woman who rhymes baby with crazy like every other track). "Ice cream, ice queen; I dream in jeans and leather" is at least fun wordplay and it's a memorably specific way to describe herself. So it's a weird line to try and come for in the first place

Isn't she singing about Ice Cream in Salvatore

 

I wonder what makes that track so different
