in that poster "Tunnel under Ocean Blvd" is in red letters like the name Lana Del Rey, so if the first is a metaphor, what could it stand for? 🤔

These quotation marks on her merch bother me 

Like why are they around only one part of the title 

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,108]

a power move would be if she releases a whole album of sexy sad-girl bops like Peppers & Taco Truck, and simply calls the album "Lana Del Rey"
full circle moment

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.

Well even in her case you just know she does it for attention-grabbing and to have something unique about her, not because it is an authentic expression of her art. At least Lana doesn't fall into that trap.

A&W was originally titled “Did you know a singer can still be, looking like a side piece at 33”

not super helpful but I hear her say these lines a couple of times

“In the dark…? honey I’m feeling ?”
 
“? Song, dancing til the dawn”

 

 

The vocals in this track are so perfect and I’d kill for it to be a real song but I doubt it ever will be (or at least we’ll never hear it)

someone make me feel better

ocean blvd creates a completely different vibe imo... i feel like we all would've expected aka 2.0

i think american whore should've been the title tbh... it's def more iconic and i kind of think the song encapsulates the album more than the title track
