What I can promise is I’ll lie down
Like a bed of wildflowers
And I'll always make the sheets
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet
And I nourish you hazily

 

so gorgeous  her cancer sun jumped out and my cancer venus moved!

I really like how she talks about turning to drinking hot coffee with other when she's feeling down/lost, it remind me to Hope's "Servin' up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad", I love so much the relationship she has with her sibling, it's nice to know they've sticked together and have her back eventhough her family is not on the best of terms allegedly, they truly are her rock

& Baby I

I’ve been running on star/slow drip IV's for so long

I wouldn’t know how cruel the world was

Hot fire

Hot weather

Hot coffee

I’m better

honestly i wasn't too sure what i was hearing either 

Yep I think this is correct. A stint is a short period of time so she’s saying that she has done time in wards (presumably alcoholic issues as we know as well as mental health) but she’s saying despite it all she is still standing

I never thought Lana would ever sing about her relationship with her mom and decide to share it with the world... whew. The lyrics for this song is gorgeous.

[Fingertips 72,034]

I fucking love love love the production in the bridge. I totally think it was a deliberate choice. It sounds like the crackling of flames

lithium is a reference to nirvana? i thought it was her saying she was medicated for bipolar disorder

I personally don’t think it refers to the Nirvana song, but even if it does, the song itself was inspired by the medication since Kurt Cobain was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in teenage years.

sand still on my feet

My father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me

So I ended up awkward but sweet

Later than hospitals, standstill on my feet

Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry

 

very coney island and i love it

And always make the sheets smell like gardenias

Wild at your feet

 

LANA  my gardenias just bloomed and a reminder that their scent is intoxicatingly intense and heady...the flower this era?

This song is hard for me to figure out. I love it. At first I thought it was about her mom, and in some ways I think it probably is, but it also gives me mental illness/ bipolar vibes. Not because of the lithium lyric (although I don’t think it’s a nirvana reference), but because sometimes maybe you feel like a wildfire and sometimes more relaxed and calm like a wildflower. Or maybe Lana is the wildflower and her mom is the wildfire. Whatever she is talking about she got it from her mom. This probably made no sense.

I should add I’m not referring to Lana’s mental state, just like a general feeling relating to my own depression/anxiety.

Now I’m hearing “later then hospital scent still on my feet”

i'm like 30% sure it's "later then hospitals"?? "laid up in hospitals"? idk?

 

 and 90% sure it's "sand still on my feet"? but still interpreting 

[Furor Poeticus 16,351]

Baby, I'll be like a wildflower

I live on sheer willpower

I’ll do my best never to turn into something

That burns, burns, burns

I love the lyrics her songs can be simultaneously personal and relatable it's genius

[Furor Poeticus 16,351]

"I’ll do my best never to turn into something

That burns, burns, burns"

 

This part hits so close to home. To me it says "I may have scars, but I won't let that affect our life together" 

[AphroditeBaby 912]

Okay this song is it now, sorry I clowned it earlier in the day Still hate the drums and production choices a bit, they sound very amateurish and I think the song has SO much potential lyrically/melodically - I kind of hope it gets remixed and mastered if it makes the album.

Can we beg Mike to give us the official lyrics

[anwdelrey 9,270]

Wildflower Wildfire is great because this is the most vulnerable and honest she's ever been. But it's just so funny to me that it's produced by Mike Dean bc it does not sound like it was at all.
