[SINGLE] A&W: OUT NOW

Recommended Posts

What Jack has done well here is this haunting goosebump atmosphere, you can well feel how Lana loses her mind and how her mood drastically changes (because she has taken drugs?). Something like this has probably never been heard before.

What is this? ( I just foudn it on spotify)

 

"Mom called

She was screaming as usual"

I was born into a world of broken dreams

Where the price for a better life can't be redeemed

I've been searching for a way out of this broken place

But I feel like I'm stuck living in the space between

This is the experience of being an American Whore

It's a life that I never even really asked for

It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a life that I can't afford

This is the experience of being an American Whore

It's a life that I never even really asked for

I'm just trying to make it out alive

I'm just staying alive, much less trying to thrive

I've been walking through the darkness, searching for a light

But it feels like I'm going nowhere in my fight

I'm trying to make my way in a world that doesn't care

But I can't seem to find the strength to make it there

This is the experience of being an American Whore

It's a life that I never even really asked for

It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a life that I can't afford

This is the experience of being an American Whore

It's a life that I never even really asked for

I'm just trying to make it out alive

I'm just staying alive, much less trying to thrive

I can hear them talking, the whispers in the press

Shaking my ass off and showing off my chest

To them I'm a body, to me I'm soul

Making them mad by, quote, getting out of control

I'm just trying to make it out alive

But I haven't seen my mother in a really long time

Could really use a wise woman to help me with my mess

I'm just trying to make it out alive

How'd my mother make it out of her prime?

I'm just trying to make it out alive, out alive, out alive

Just trying to make it out alive

Time to kick it in overdrive

Psychedelic trip, half moon bay

For Jim I'll stay, for him I'll stay

Sitting on his lap, building up my reputation

Getting ready for the culture's condemnation

Sing about the abuse, the glamor

Think it's time that I drop the hammer

This is the experience of being an American Whore

It's a life that I never even really asked for

It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a life that I can't afford

This is the experience of being an American Whore

It's a life that I never even really asked for

I'm just trying to make it out alive

I'm just staying alive, much less trying to thrive

Just trying to make it out alive

Time to kick it in overdrive

Psychedelic trip, half moon bay

For Jim I'll stay, for him I'll stay

For Jim I'll stay, he makes me stay

He makes me sway, for Jim, I sway

Psychedelic trip, half moon bay

For Jim I'll stay, for him I'll stay

 @syrup amour I just wanted to post these Spotify lyrics! It seems to be a previous version of the song that they didn't end up releasing, right!??!

 

no, fake lyrics made by some random person

It's interesting and experimental which is a relief after the last 2 albums. But I dunno if I actually....enjoy it as a song that I would want to listen to over and over again. It feels like it is building to something and then doesn't really deliver on it.


  let me be who i'm meant to be

i love how fun and experimental the end of the song is but i honestly wish it was split in half because it feels like two completely different tracks smashed together that don’t really fit :um2: the first 4 minutes is so pretty and emotional and i feel like it’s better on its own while the ending should be an interlude or something

Some of the lyrics remind me of her poem, Bare Feet on Linoleum.

 

A&W:

Quote

If I told you that I was raped, do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it, didn't ask for it?
Didn't testify, already fucked up my story

 

Bare Feet on Linoleum

Quote

And all of the people you meet on the street will reiterate lies
that she uttered

Quote

she told the townspeople I was crazy, and the lies, they
started to believe them

TW for SA/r*pe
 

I change my mind about this not being amongst my favorites. After more listens and reading the lyrics carefully, I love it more. It’s powerful and dark. A common guess analysis is that it’s about how the media and public view her. From sexualizing her when she was thin, to shaming her for not fitting in beauty standards after weight gain and dressing more casual. The line about the SA sticks out to me also. I was r-ped around the end of 2017. The stress and having to cope with what happened, not having anyone to talk to who got me, as cheesy as it sounds Lana’s music was my safe space at the time. Especially the LFL album, I was listening to it a lot (LFL was the current era at the time) and i found the folksy songs soothing (the last half of the album after Coachella that most people seemed to dislike the album for). Lana pointing out something like this in a new song makes me love her as an artist even more. She always delivers.

I was wondering at first why she mentioned Rosemead (a city neighboring Arcadia), something I assumed would be more associated with her current life, along with things from the past like mentioning Jimmy and other Lizzy sounding lyrics. This makes the guess that the song is about the criticism throughout her career make sense.
