Wildflower Wildfire

[Trash Magic 28,425]

I think she really sounds like Kate Bush in the Wildflower Wildfire chorus

[Let the Light In 18,705]

I don't understand why people find WW beats messy. It is not a result of a poor production, it is meant to be that way. They remind me of 8 bit Lana covers. You can hear one similar example of beats here:

Yesterday, while listening to Wildflower Wildfire, I thought that it made me think of another song in some way. Today I noticed it reminded me of Underneath, by Tarja Turunen. If you don't know it, check it, an inmense song: 

 

 

 

[Mer 62,020]

"Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better, so I turn, but I learn it from you" is literally one of her best musical moments ever. Idk why, but that part scratches an itch that has been left neglected since "So catch a wave and take in the sweetness, think about it the darkness the deepness".

[lanadelrat 585]

the “cuz i know you wanna talk about it” has the same energy as “if you don’t pray you’ll never learn” from tjf

 

these song hit deep in the bussy and we are levitating

Also when she does the blue jeans voice it sends me. I 

[IanadeIrey 62,120]

I really, really like how when she says “hot coffee, I’m better...” it almost sounds like she’s saying “hot coffee, I’m bitter.” 
 

Coffee on its own is often thought of as having a bitter taste, and given the lines about her “father’s wife” and the second verse and chorus in particular, I wonder if that was intentional — to have it sound like both “better” and “bitter.”

 

It would definitely fit thematically because there is a hint of bitterness in the song, but then she affirms to her lover that she won’t “burn like the others” which links back to the line actually being “I’m better with you.”
 

Ugh!! she’s brilliant

The voice crack on Wildflower Wildfire reminds me of Emilie Autumn in a strange way. The songs have more wild vocals compared to Chemtrails, so I hope the album will have more of that

 

Definetly some Enchant vibes there <3

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 

Yeah I think she says "laid up in hospitals, sand still on my feet"

Is the lyric “star drip IVs” a reference to drugs?

That was my first thought when I heard the lyric, and I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume that’s what it’s referring to. 
 

Similarly, in Fuck it I love you, she appeared to reference substance use when she sang, “I used to shoot up my veins in neon.” Both lyrics have this very image-evoking way of describing her addictions, but that’s just my perception of the lines

[anwdelrey 9,270]

I kind of hate how each song has its own thread but whatever I guess lol.

Wait, do you think this has anything to do with Lana stating that she was recently at a facility by the ocean in her poem Patent Leather Do-Over? 
 

If so, it almost appears that she’s connecting the “rage” of her mother when she was younger to her hospitalization at the age of 34, according to the poem. If she’s not referencing the facility, it’s rather disturbing to think of what else her mother’s “rage” would cause her to be hospitalized.
 

If I remember correctly, Lana (understandably) responded harshly to what she perceived to be Ann Power’s public suggestion that Lana underwent abuse when she was younger without Lana actually denying it happened. I dunno.
 

Either way, it’s incredibly sad, but I’m proud of Lana for being this vulnerable and candid

I have this feeling she started layering her founds on similar sounding words that have a different outcome or go deeper into one short moment. You get the feeling of what life is. You never feel only one emotion. I’m loving it.

 

COtCC had LSD and How this deep in my opinion. 
 

If this is the case, I got my Casino Oasis/cause he knows I’m wasted 

[Dark Angel 202,576]

one of her best songs, i fear

i'm listening to it right now and it's heavenly 

[rabbit 5,272]

Wow wow wow do I love it. Really connect with her words about her mother, that was emotionally stunning. In my childhood, I’d beg my father to protect me from my mother, but it didn’t happen. “Ended up awkward but sweet”. That whole verse was so cathartic, and it seemed it was for many of us ? 
Also, the urgency in needing to control your own flame. 

This song was so revealing of Lana, and also made me take a soft look back at some difficult memories. All of the new songs did, in their ways. Love love seeing the continuation of her lyrical and emotional progress ?
 

Here’s the deaalll

[Fingertips 72,051]

Baby, I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust
Alone for so long
I wouldn't know what hot fire was
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee
I'm better with you
It's strange, but it's true, darling
