it means nothing???? I mean I like three white butterflies for sure but the lyric is really beautiful like damn

it is pretty much nonsense, i get what it's kind of supposed to mean but like it doesn't really work for me and i think she just thought it was really poetic or something:scoff:

I interpret the title, and the song as

I am who I am because of all of the hard work of the people who came before me. My grandfather’s hard work, resulted in my father’s hard work (the “deep sea fishing for sharks”, I take as a metaphor for undertaking dangerous tasks to provide for him and his family), so she can be who she is today (flaws and alls)

girllll wtf i obviously understand stuff i just think the lyric is dumb and she could've said the same thing in a much better way, it doesn't need to be "dumbed down", but reading the title and hearing it in the song it sounds so silly that it just sounds like random words :toofunny:

I feel like the “educate yourself” sort of comments were potentially funny in 2014, but it’s getting a bit tiresome and rude—especially if you’re not going to follow it up with your own interpretation and thoughts so we can actually discuss…:oopna2:

you know, it does roll off the tongue a bit better/sound a bit more complete.

honestly i kind of thought it was actually a joke about her long titles like hope or chemtrails 

Spoiler

since the song is about the media and people misunderstanding her etc etc... but hearing her singing it so earnestly i think its just a weird ass lyric/ title. but it was so much more iconic when i thought it was satire...

A&W sounds so much better for me in context of the album :hair:

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.

Cause lbr it’s the only part that matters. I hate how long the album title is. The “Did you know that there's a…” portion really wasn’t necessary.

Just how “Grandfather…” easily could have had a shorter title.

wait until this bitch hears about when the pawn…

2014 wow lol here's an explanation tho

 

u know the addy pull up

Spoiler

ok well I don't necessarily disagree with the fact that "three white butterflies" could have been a good title - but she's really focused on poetry and its a poetic device to use a line that is crucial to understanding the poem as a title. since family is a big theme on the album (direct name callouts throughout the album, opening with "the grants" etc) it makes sense that she's drawing attention to that lyric and not the butterflies or good intentions - she doesn't care about the GP opinion so a simplified name isn't that necessary.

 

I also feel like her long song titles are a rebellion against the fact that she gets so much scrutiny - the same way that the three BB single covers were the same edited pics. 

 

IMO the song is asking god to send her a sign that everything she is doing is worth it despite the scrutiny (I know they think it took somebody else to make me beautiful) but it's more than that. if it was just about that, sure 3 white butterflies and good intentions is a good title.

 

She's acknowledging how her father and grandfathers hard work got them to where they were supposed to be, and consequently allowed her to become who she is. karmic lineage vibes. her father is consistently working hard (deep sea fishing for sharks in the pacific) and if the grandfathers spirit can watch over him, and her intentions are good, she will have her father to watch over herself too. idk.  

 

Since she hates her mom too its kinda funny she's not acknowledging that side of her fam. 

 

its annoying to call a lyric that has significance to Lana dumb, she didn't write the album for everyone just to eat it up. also she's literally talking about scrutiny so why scrutinize her?? xoxo

she talks about her poetry a lot and titling a poem with the most significant line draws attention to it. she doesn't do what other singers do all the time so I think its kinda sick that she does this.
