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.

Another proof that it's Lana who decides how her music will sound.

[Make me your Dream Life 87,780]

nah everyone's gonna be praising wildflower wildfire in the future. the pacing. the fluctuating tones. 

maybe its just me but the looseness of the tracks just get me more engaged n riled easier w/o the need of pretenses than feeling lazy towards it. so good. 

just imagine taunting a lover w suggestions to it, so enabling. it's just a bit more subtle to the ear, which makes it even more intimate when or if. u catch up to it. the menacing piano's just so good for it. 

others were making fun of hope, but it's shaped into her hallelujah. woman's gonna grow on everyone more too. 

burnnnnn buuuuuuuuurn buhhhhuuuhhhhhrrhhhrrrnnnnnn  this is cruel world's older brother

that's the best description for it 

and this gif is amazing omg

[TheCultureIsLit 542]

Okay so maybe I'm just being extra, but does anyone feel like this part is kind of directly referring to fans/us speculating about her personal story?

 

"Here's the deal (cause I know you want to talk about it)

 Here's the deal - you say there's gaps to fill, so here

 Here's the deal - my father never stepped in when his wife

 would rage at me" 

 

Like obviously it's speaking about her past and her family, but the way she says "here's the deal" a bunch of times seems kind of like she's consciously saying "okay, you all have been wondering about this so here you go". And then the way she specifically says "gaps to fill in" reminds me a lot of how people on this board have spoken about the time periods and details of her past that are hard to tie together...maybe I'm reaching, but idk, it shook me 

 

[BluebirdXO 7,679]

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 lazily

 

Those are such great lyrics 

 

Everything that I wanted was pretty words and now I finally got them 

[Icecream Icequeen 4,831]

This song has been on repeat for an hour now and it does has its awkward moments with the drums, but this is still my favourite song for the lyrics 

 

I was abused by my brother growing up and my father never stepped in and this song just hits way too close to home

Hm I think she’s referring to the media (specifically the Ann Powers article) and their assumptions about her upbringing/lack of authenticity. It’s truly her telling her own story.

“Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry” 

 

Lithium is a mood-stabilizer, It is used to treat bipolar disorder. As a med student this line hits.. because this medication has no euphoric or relaxing effect like most of the drugs used to treat mental disorders... so she taking it, means that she had sever manic and depressive episodes in her life, and that breaks my heart 

[mrborntolose 9,967]

wildflower wildfire .. the honesty, deepness... the BUILD!!! I’m so addicted 

 

 

Spoiler

I can’t stop listening. No cap

One of my favorite parts , i love how she says gardenias .

Do I have thing for Lana talking about flowers ? Maybe

I’m back again to preach about how fucking good Wildflower Wildfire is. I haven’t been so floored by a Lana song in YEARS. it’s just so fucking good. The lyrics, her vocals, the production, the entire last minute where the production goes crazy... all the shit it revealed about her relationship w p*tty and mental health and stuff. I’m just so destroyed

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 

In writing, "laid up in hospitals" makes more sense to my mind, but I only hear her sing "later then" - which I don't fully understand, unless it's like

"So I ended up awkward but sweet,

Later - then [later on/after that] hospitals [I was hospitalised/in and out of hospitals for treatments?]

And still on my feet [I'm still standing after everything]"

 

I mean I get the story and the meaning of the verse (and it hits fucking hard) but I'm a stickler for lyrics and I wanna know 

[bluefiona 8,050]

I wish Lana would put her lyrics in her album booklets like she did with BTD. Sad she doesn't do that anymore. We'll never really know what some of the words she said in some of her songs like this one.

This song is my favorite. It's really beautiful.

Hot fire... hot weather... hot coffee - I’m better... 

 

I love this song 

[theviolence 5,837]

The drums in WW remind me of when the trumpets kick in in I Can Fly, both very euphoric moments 

 

The songs are v similar in theme too
