evalionisameme 13,889 Posted January 4, 2023 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? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaeden xx 7,138 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) 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 DISCLAIMER: Don't cancel me Edited January 4, 2023 by Jaeden xx I don't know how to write 23 Quote ~Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaeden xx 7,138 Posted January 4, 2023 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 5 Quote ~Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 24 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evalionisameme 13,889 Posted January 4, 2023 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. 1 minute ago, Sportscruiser said: But that doesn’t mean it’s up for debate on a public website.

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rorman Nockwell 56,714 Posted January 4, 2023 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. 31 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?! 13 Quote wanna get to heaven, so let's get high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evalionisameme 13,889 Posted January 4, 2023 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”. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
