The first verse is in particular is focused on it. When she says "pretty little fool, thinking exceptions to the rule", she's basically saying "a fool for thinking you can escape this 'rule' where all these celebs get their life ruined, destroyed and end up dead". "The best ones lost their minds", she's saying this happened even to the best ones. and there, once again, we can see lana's growth through her lyrics. in her unreleased songs there's a big idealization of glamour and fame. she was all like "i want the power, to be glamorous, look what a scene it would be to have plenty golden coins and live in the marmont", and then you compare all that with her words now, after reaching stardom. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White Hot Forever 4,220 Posted May 22, 2021 I just realized the chorus was reworked from the original bridge of NFR At 8:20 of this livestream you can hear it "You keep changing all the time You change your goddamn mind You know you're like a child But I don't have a clue" 10 Quote 𐌔Ꝋ𐌋ᕓ𐌄 𐌄𐌕 𐌂Ꝋ𐌀Ᏽ𐌵𐌋𐌀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you so much for pointing this out - that's incredible! I remember really loving the verses from the original NFR that she did in this live and wanting her to do something with that, I can't believe I didn't recognise the reuse of the chorus. Even the lyrics are similar: "We keep changing all the time. The best ones lost their minds." Sort of like how she reused the LFL Max Martin verse melody for Yosemite's pre-chorus.. and apparently LMLYLAW was from Ultraviolence, and I've always sort of thought that what the insider meant by that was that she reused some element from an UV outtake/demo for LMLYLAW rather than the whole song itself, especially since she had just mentioned wanting to do something with the lyric "let me love you like a woman" in an interview that was only a year or two before the song's release. I wonder what other elements she reused & recreated for Chemtrails that we wouldn't even know about! x 7 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was already remade in 2018 or more probable - the original version of NFR actually "sampled" DBJAG after Lana scrapped it from NFR My life has been a lie 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
