honestly i think it will be a moment, rob grant will serve a brooklyn baby outro type of moment, and i'm sure chuck's singing voice is nice  ...as long as it's background vocals, though

Y'all are gonna leave miss Nikki alone. She might be one of the flavour-of-the-month friends but she isn't all that bad I swear.

Thinking about what the reddit ''''insider''' said about violets for roses, it could match... Like now that i thought about the words, violets and roses, I suddenly remembered ''violets bent backwards over the grass'' and then i remember that theres a poem that she says this: 

 

Maybe it will be a sad song that plays with the duality how much she was left behind but how she can find love, just a guess

I trade all my violets for roses 

[Alison by Slowdive 26,156]

i wonder if 'violets for roses' follows up on the themes in 'dark but just a game': "no rose left on the vines / don't even want what's mine / much less the fame". it very well could be a song about her uneasy relationship with fame, but i wonder if it will ultimately be an optimistic song in which roses represent - amongst other things - hopefulness?

"black bathing suit" being about her relationship with the paparazzi? "violets for roses" being about her relationship with fame? this really is her revenge album after all!

I’ve been playing around with this in my head too. In the poem VBBOTG she

 

“saw Violet bent backwards over the grass…

…with the exuberance that only doing nothing can bring

waiting for fireworks to begin

and in that moment

I decided to do nothing about everything

 

forever.”

 

so maybe she’s thinking doing nothing about everything doesn’t really help her as much as she thought. There’s still going to be shit to deal with or people attacking her. But roses have thorns which could be a way to protect herself but still put beauty into the world.

I really hope that Chuck and Rob aren't singing. I am hoping that their vocals are like a spoken word outro, like maybe they are reenacting a conversation over family dinner that was meaningful or nostalgic to Lana. Or maybe it is like a spoken word collage, people close to Lana saying things about her, laughing, little clips of conversations that take Lana back to a different time and place, etc. It would be like the song equivalent of the Video Games MV which is a video collage.
