Lana Sex Work/Stripping?

[evalionisameme 13,889]

I’ve always been interested in why she has these lyrical themes of prostitution in otherwise “autobiographical” songs. 
From what we know she’s never done any webcam nor sex work so why the continued lyrical theme in her earlier material?

[Jaeden xx 7,138]

I have also thought about this and I find it interesting but I'm too lazy to analyse lyrics but I think its more of a fantasy thing, I see a pattern where even in songs that are "autobiographical" there are details mixed in that don't work/make sense and honestly I think her song writing is "autobiographical" but has details mixed in that are more metaphors or just having fun

I don't know how to write

What an odd thing to ask

Anyway

• Go go dancer
• Strange love
• Tired of Singing the blues
• Roll with me
• Come when you call me america
• Trash magic
• Delicious
• Hundred dollar bill
• Dance for money
• Party girl
• Hey you
• Hit it and run

And many others all have some sort of allusion to her sex work/stripper days

Unless she was just fascinated by them at the time and decided to write in the eyes of a fictional stripper/sex worker character

I would have more to say but I value being a respected (I hope) member of the lanaboards community but as we always say we won't know unless Lana says

? She’s talked about it in released songs aswell as unreleased, even cosplaying a prostitute in the ride video, we’re not digging up her medical records 

If she didn’t want to talk about her experiences or people to dissect her lyrics she wouldn’t of released them

I’d add resistance to that list possibly

But that doesn’t mean it’s up for debate on a public website. I mean we can do it but does it feel right to you? Plus those songs you’ve mentioned have been online in over a decade. What other angles are left to discuss that weren’t already?

[evalionisameme 13,889]

New kind of porno
One that has yet been born, oh
Loving you's like loving a hurricane, I'm tired of
All the mess you make, all the hearts you break
Loving you's like loving a dirty bomb, you're blowing up
All the cash I'm paid, all the love we made

although this could just be more metaphorical for love bombing and an intimate relationship most likely.

I didn’t say vote on the starter topic if she’s a HOOKER did I? I asked what people thought her attraction to this lyrical theme was.

[Rorman Nockwell 56,671]

Tbh I'm pretty sure she hasn't done half the stuff she puts in her (especially early) lyrics

But you know, if she ever did sex work and it was of her own volition then good for her. There isn't really anything to discuss surrounding it because she has never shared and it's up to her if she ever wants to.

True but she has a vast interest in film and various societal topics so I wondered if anyone in lananalysis had drawn a link somewhere?

I kinda have to disagree if she sang about it and portrayed it in videos

Why not though?

 

There's absolutely no shame in any of this

I know. There’s also not much to discuss if it’s a theme she hasn’t explored in 10 years.

This is a Lana discussion forum, we talk or theorise about her songs and lyrics—both old and new—all the time… I'm not seeing the issue with this thread that you guys are tbh?!

i mean.. it very much does?? as much as i love lana, artists who profit of off their art being consumed and bought by the public are also subject to the public's thoughts on said art..

[evalionisameme 13,889]

I just thought this was an interesting discussion point because she hinted in 2020 that this was a discussion point she may want to revisit during Question for The C controversy- when she said she was judged for “singing about dancing for money”.

Don’t let me stop you. Discuss away.
