2014 wow lol here's an explanation tho

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 

 

 

Spoiler

no one said she did, just because she likes it doesn't mean it's good to everyone tho lol... is "regrettably a white woman" not a dumb lyric to you then?

I know I know I know that you hate me but that's literally not the same thing. yeah she writes stupid lyrics sometimes ill give you that but like... this lyric is referencing family and religion on an album with a focus on both those things. but we are entitled to our own opinions!! even if some are better than others lol

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 

 

 

I agree with this interpretation. I love this song so much

Do we know the importance of the December 18 date in Margaret?

 

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,105]

Spoiler

seeing as she literally put a VB remix mashup in this album, I don’t think it’s far fetched to think that whatever she’s singing in the JB Interlude could end up as a full song on her next record. 

 

[ultrabanisters 44,642]

two days

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,105]

manifesting the next album is 14 tracks that sound like Peppers, Taco Truck x VB, Cinnamon, Florida Kilos, FIILY & HBTB & has more wild features like Tommy genesis again, grimes, Billie Eilish, asap Rocky, Kali Uchis & the weeknd.

 

It would be a collapse of the entire solar system. You can’t tell me it wouldn’t absolutely fucking demolish every girl and gay in a 5,000,000 mile radius of California

Ugh I need this but I am trying so hard to not get my hopes up  

 

a lot of my fave unreleased tracks are the recording sessions that never really became anything (Joshy and I, Run Motorcycle, Ben, etc) so I feel like the fact that I love the JB interlude so much means it’s doomed to become like the others

the first one is giving candy necklace more imo

 

Spoiler

i get u!! i mean it's all subjective; the images and atmosphere evoked for us or that we choose to focus on/see in the music are so personal, but to me it's memories + monaco + going back to being a serene queen. i feel like what captures her resilience most (outwardly-facing, symbolically even) is her on a stage, bc of the fact that she's always just trying

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

 

I haven't done a cartwheel since I was nine

I haven't seen my mother in a long, long time

 

someone posted a video of a therapist reacting to a&w and she interpreted the cartwheel line as the loss of innocence, because when women are just girls, they don't care if their shirt or their dress lifts up when they're doing a cartwheel, but as they get older, they lose that carefreeness and innocence because of the sexualization that society inflicts. it actually made me appreciate that first line way more
