Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

[ultrabanisters 44,915]

i really think the lyric is just referencing the fact she will continue kissing the person she's talking about honestly, not the fact she's being careless about spreading it. we know lana isn't like that

I'm not saying that the lyric is her "I'm spreading covid and I don't care," but there's an implication in that lyric that she doesn't care if she gets covid because she's with that guy instead of not wanting covid in general in order that she doesn't spread it to other people. It's a stupid lyric and she lowkey deserves to be critiqued for it. 

 

 

Spoiler

I interpreted it as that he tested positive and they have been kissing [before that], not that she intentionally infected herself.

How is she being careless tho?... If you're dating someone, spend time with them, and that person tests positive you're already at risk, so what are you going to do? better to stay with that person actually, is not like she's mocking victims of covid or something like that

Spoiler

adding "it dont matter"/"whatever" is giving off a careless vibe, also the tone in which it's said/sung.. idk maybe it does depend on each person's experience. god knows i wish i could think like most people here, liking it and calling it cheeky

How can some of y'all see a problem with everything tho... She's literally just saying she has been kissing that person so she probably got it too, how in the world is that disrespecful? I doubt people in 2023 are going to drag her for that, literally no one will care except for the 10 woke twitter users as always

 

Exactly, that's my thought process, too. I guess if someone's already sensitive to a topic, though, then they're going to have that mindset of giving it a negative connotation. That's not a bad thing, it's something they can't help because of their experience with it. Everyone interprets things differently, and that's the beauty of songs.

I think I'm confused on what you mean by "doesn't care because she's with that guy." Do you mean that she doesn't care because she's going to keep kissing him and spending time with him, so getting it is inevitable? Because if so, I think that too, and I don't think that is something she should be critiqued for. She would just be saying "oh well, I'm gonna get it." Not "oh well, I'll get it and be careless." 

 

Spoiler

Someone who isn't at least somewhat flippant about the Covid-19 pandemic wouldn't want to get Covid or put themselves in a situation where they can get Covid in general because they wouldn't want to spread it to other people. So yes, she doesn't care that she gets it, and by extension, other people.

The lyric is "whatever he has, I have" it's just broken apart weirdly, but it is all one sentence.

[bluedealer 4,935]

Tbh I'm pretty sure some people will try to cancel her for that covid line/Lanita/or whatever lyrics we don't know yet..

But what makes me a little bit nervous is the way she would handle it this time  

I'm not ready for another shady insta stories, fake revenge album date etc

he's probably a great person n all but the tiktoks he made after their breakup... icky

 

[ultrabanisters 44,915]

i really dont think there was any ill intention at all behind it, and she really just meant she kissed her boyfriend and then found out he had covid after (and theres not much she could do about it then so continued kissing maybe?). i dont really think its something to take too seriously

 

we dont know the full context of the song yet anyway, so it could continue 

[hotshot2am 18,781]

There's a difference between being careless and trying to tell yourself that it doesn't matter in an attempt to stay calm about it.

Okay, I get what you're saying. I just don't think that is what Lana is saying. The lyric is: "My boyfriend tested positive for covid. It don't matter. We've been kissing. Whatever he has, I have. I can't cry." So, based on this, I think the phrase "it don't matter" means "I don't care if I get it cause Im gonna keep kissing him." But that is not saying she doesn't care if other people get it. Other people aren't even mentioned. This is solely about her and her boyfriend.

I don’t think it’s really that deep honestly

I think it's rather, "I'm not gonna stop kissing him, because I most likely have COVID anyway since we're always making out".

Not that she doesn't care if she gets it. She thinks she probably has it already so that's no reason to stop kissing.

 

Which is like.... totally normal and literally nothing to make a fuss about. Two people being COVID positive can quarantine together.

So, there's people who already received the Spotify vinyl.

Who's gonna do the Lord's work for us? C'mon gurls, let's make each other's day happier

Yeah, that's halfway what I meant. I'm not good with explanations LMAO. Two people can quarantine together, so she's not careless about spreading it to other people.

I personally don't care if "you don't think it's that deep." People here on this forum have different experiences with the pandemic, and we're allowed to express our critiques over a lyric. No one here said she's a MAGA superspreader, so no need to go to war over her, but we're allowed to find the lyric flippant and obnoxious.

It’s probably about Mike since she wrote it with him.

You get it

[DZKSLEFTNUT 486]

I think she was just making a hot lyric about current times. No political intention or anything bad behind it. I don’t think it’s really that deep to where we need to dissect it.

 

I don’t think she’s saying she is afraid of covid.

 

I don’t think she’s saying she doesn’t care.

 

I don’t think she’s being careless. Its just a lyric
