Things like weight gain/public's perception of women's body, break up stuff, Chuck's baby, etc 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll never understand the Arcadia hate (aside from her questionable vocals). A highlight on Blue Banisters which is a mixtape and not an official part of Lana’s discography ✨ Excluding the mixtape, here are my post-2019 Lana singles rankings: White Dress > COTCC > A&W > Tunnel > LMLYLAW 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lanaparadiserey 23,713 Posted February 28, 2023 Wasn’t the BLM line in reference to her meeting her boyfriend at the protest or is that fake news? Just now, lilac heaven said: i really don’t and never understood the hatred of the BLM line in Text Book; i think it’s actually going to be kind of an amazing thing and future generations are going to be really moved by that lyric. kids are going to be learning about the summer 2020 protests in school for the rest of time, and that lyric is going to be so moving considering the context of when it was written during such a historical event. and i am black, nobody argue with me about this That is such a beautiful way of looking at it. I see that general idea a lot throughout Blue Banisters 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco truck 33,306 Posted February 28, 2023 Ok if you think Lana does no wrong and is perfect you’re not going to agree at all so there is not point arguing. However if you are critical thinker this is why I think that lyric is very tone-deaf and just bad lol. Basically after QFTC, “I’ve had lots of rapper boyfriends”, and her posting videos of her at a riot while showing peoples faces (which could get them arrested) it just feels ignorant. Her using it to create imagery in her song as a white woman about her relationship to a COP is just weird and wrong. I get it she was mostly just using it to set the time period and stuff like that but it just feels icky and totally takes me out of the song. 2 Quote ❀❀ ˖° ⋆.ೃ࿔ this is my idea of fun °⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lanaparadiserey 23,713 Posted February 28, 2023 It was Clay I think (if it is true) the internet says they met on a dating app but I know I’ve heard it somewhere that she met Clay at a protest, maybe I’m gullible 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
