imagining it's an alternate universe or dream sequence where her man comes thru in the end

What’s also weird is the fact that she says her sisters help her paint her blue banisters green and gray, but in the video her banisters aren’t even blue yet. I wonder what’s the meaning of it. Even on the album covers, the banisters aren’t blue

Maybe since we didn't know it was green or gray until the actual song came out all the stores had overstocked blue paint to prepare for blue banisters so that's all they had.

Wondering if it's just about perspective 

 

You know like the "grue" cultures

 

Her sisters may not paint the banisters in a different color but help her see life differently 

Green is the color of hope but Lana allows things not to be Manichean so there will still be shades of grey

To anybody who has the CD or vinyl — any chance you’d post the lyrics included in the physical packaging? Blue Banisters lyrics are pretty debatable and that could be our last gift before the album comes out <3

I see we're having the banisters debate again... Lemme deliver a detailed explanation!

 

Q: The banisters in the video are blue HWHAT??? 

 

A: Lana's man does not deliver on the promises he made, one of which is painting her banisters blue - her favorite color. The second chorus introduces the metaphor of the banisters + all of the promises he made being fulfilled by the people in her life like Chuck's baby as an example. Banisters are a metaphor for her support system - like how sometimes you'd need to use them to either go up or down the stairs Lana uses her support system to navigate through the pain: when she goes down and revisiting it again or going higher and healing. It's evident with her realization when she says "Now my blue banisters are green and grey" blue being the color of sadness, green the color of life and vitality and grey being the color of neutrality. Her sisters fulfill his promise of painting them blue in the video. All in all a very beautiful metaphor from Lana 

 

Q: Why are the banisters unpainted on the cover? 

 

A: Cuz he never painted them stupid! 

 

 

 

[yayoop 4,611]

Maybe Lana means “you want to paint my life support blue” she always uses blue as an expression of sadness? 
I never know when to take Lana literally or metaphorically, she keeps me guessing

So excited to listen to the album again on Friday and act like it's all new to me

@Thunder Revenant bestie. The triple video NFR-Bartender-HIAB  is so pleasing aesthetically and calming.

[Chemtrailslana 216]

The track lengths were finally revealed on iTunes and Beautiful is listed as 3:35 so I don’t think the string version will be on streaming.
