This would not have resonated with me as much as it does now, if it was released in June/July. I associate Lana albums with seasons, and so far, every single record has been released in the perfect season I associate it with. Honeymoon could have also worked in the Spring, and Chemtrails in the Fall as well

"You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy." - Blue Banisters

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

100 million percent. It's like it took the full year of twists and turns to fully mature and then enter the world at the precise correct moment.

 

If it had come out alongside car selfie and summer heat waves... no that would've felt COMPLETELY different.

 

I feel the social media deletion is playing a role as well in how emotional this album feels. That feeling when Arcadia arrived and it all suddenly had the air of a goodbye.

The album is dripping with raw emotion, reflection, vulnerability, tenderness. This is the right time of year, and the right time in lana's story for this.

wait wtf is under your skin?? I didn’t even know that existed 

That was a joke. Under Your Skin is a fake title that was only proven fake a few months ago

You roll like thunder when you come crashin' in
Town ain't been the same since you left with all your friends
You roll like thunder when you come crashing in
Regattas in the wind, that's why you're visiting

 

I loved these lyrics in the demo, but these lines in the final are even more beautiful :wowcry:

Is she talking about someone who pretends to be happy to everybody but is instead depressed as f*** in Thunder?

 

I take it as her talking about someone with a strong social presence but one that is simultaneously an illusion since she got to know the person in an intimate way only to discover this "persona" the other person exudes in front of others (friends, acquaintances, maybe even lovers) is just a facade - only she knows who he's like when the party ends and all he has left is what exists besides the superficiality. That's why she knows he'll eventually leave: he can't commit to emotional intimacy because he'll always depend on veering in between party scenes and vapid interactions. At this point there's resignation from her because she's tired of this and also used to the feeling of seeing a loved one leave her for something she could (and probably did) give even though he's not willing to receive or reciprocate.

 

It's a simple song lyrically and very economic but every word packs so much meaning and feeling behind it that you can't help but picture a broader, bigger picture of what's behind their story. It's truly one of her best songs ever.
