bel air rose 11,631 Posted May 23, 2021 i cant believe how underrated wildflower wildfire is like those are her best lyrics since honeymoon. they’re so abstract and beautiful and not too wordy, it’s perfection to me everyone was so disappointed in the production and was expecting so much from mike but he said in the fantano interview that he will always stay true to the artist which he did. the piano was haunting and RICH and the layering reminded me of uv. the percussion on first listen was bizarre but it’s so explosive which i really needed from her. these first 3 songs are obviously heavy and very emotional. I don’t think lana was looking to make a radio friendly bop out of any of these songs. she’s still working with mike and I think they’re gonna go deeper with that explosive sound. anyways end rant and appreciate these godly lyrics Here’s the deal I promised you like a million tomorrows Here’s the deal What I can promise is i’ll lie down Like a bed of wildflowers And always make the sheets smell like gardenias Wild at your feet And I Nourish you hazily baby, I I’ve been running on stardust alone for so long... 25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She’s truly reached a new creative peak the writing on all 3 of these songs is just amazing and is a testament to her gift as a songwriter. The lyrics you included are just so poetic and pretty and full of symbolism there’s also so much to unpack in BB and TB as well. Every individual lyric has layers to it 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything i wanted to say and my favorite part of the song as well , worded perfectly . I hope that with Mike she experiments more sound-wise and give us something bombastic in the rest of the album . If the 7min song he posted on his insta is Lana’s it might be more experimental 13 Quote 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚐𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝚑𝚊𝚣𝚎 𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚍𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 𝚒𝚝𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoardingSchool 2,919 Posted May 23, 2021 It could be about physical abuse that sent her to the hospital, but I interpret this song as about mental/psychological abuse that sent her to the psych ward (behind the iron gates!). I feel like most dads would step in if mom was physically attacking a child but might think it's "just" mom/daughter stuff if mom and daughter are verbally fighting, not realizing how much it hurt Lana. Or I may be projecting, ngl Anyway, this song hits hard, and I don't think there's any coming back from her estrangement with Patty after publicly reducing her to "Dad's wife". 7 Quote ‘Fucking God bless us all and let’s hope we make it through this.’ ~LDR, Flaunt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anwdelrey 9,270 Posted May 24, 2021 What does she mean when she says “I wouldn’t know what hot fire was... hot fire hot weather hot coffee...” someone explain. Is it just her being numb to things or something else. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just her being numb to things or something else. I would assume she's saying that her threshold for pain is quite high. She's desensitized to being "burned" because her "father never stepped in when his wife would rage at [her]", with rage being the operative word (as "raging" is often used to describe a fire). So things that are actually "hot" in the literal sense (like fire, the weather, and coffee) don't impair her or harm her nearly as much. And then following that, she vows to never be like her mother - the "wildfire" in question, that she vows to never turn into. 37 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk much about her family (never bothered to look into anything like that) but sometimes wonder how her siblings feel about this? Like Chuck and Lana seem super close - even mentioned in multiple songs in a positive way, yet their mom is addressed by Lana coldly and harshly, overall not even really acknowledged as a mother. The lyrics in WW just made it even more apparent just how estranged/strained their relationship is ... While Charlie is making some bday cakes lmao like I’m so curious what it must be like for them?¿ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It kinda makes sense. And would made the title itself a reference to how terrible the things have been in her eye regarding the relationship to her mother, Lana being the "Wildflower" that "lives on sheer willpower" while her mother being the "Wildfire" she`ll fight at all costs not to become. The song is extremely touching without even having made that connection, but once done... Damn, Lana. 28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be about abuse so I m putting it in spoiler. Spoiler Baby, I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust Alone for so long I wouldn't know what hot fire was Lana as many children of abusive houses was reading with her pain. She prob was trying to flush all the pain away with some dr*gs like coc*ine. I was dealing with my pain in similiar way... 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 But Lana doesn't want to be like her mother, she feels ready not to hurt anybody and live gracefully like a wiildflower (wildflowers are always everywhere, they will always grow no matter what soil there is). My father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me So I ended up awkward but sweet Later then hospitals, and still on my feet Comfortably numb, but with lithium came poetry I think we all know what was happening when her mother was shouting at her, maybe doing something else... when mother has a dominant role in family, usually fathers end up passive. Also I think that Lana was at mental/psychiatric hospital and she was dealing with everything which her mother had done to her. I am doing it as her and its really a fight with my mind. We acknowledge song titles there but I would like to add that lithium is also A medicine to treat depression, anxiety or mood disorders. Basically she's saying that she is still here, standing on her feet thanks to her medicines. Thanks to this antidepressant she's able to write poetry. I know how antidepressants can help in life so I understand it so well Anyway I- 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
