West Coast 45,521 Posted May 10, 2023 4 hours ago, PARADIXO said: Lol late reply, but notice how NFR-and-beyond stans never complain about her earlier work and don't criticize other fans for liking other albums more. You guys are constantly hating on her newer work, and I am yet to see a decent argument on that. Also, what's the problem with singing about "being a vagabond poet", and let me add, a vagabond poet in the middle of a culture and political crisis. What's so different from singing about being a bad girl with a love on the side who gets drunk and high? She sings about so many things. You guys just hate her lbr lol. That's funny, yall always complain about how ''repetitive''/poor her lyrics were prior to NFR, especially on Ultraviolence. Always acting like those songs are, in hindsight, subar from a songwriting perspective. That's one POV I don't give a fuck about and/or don't agree with. The music was so much more atmospheric then. Besides I've had this argument countless times with you and other hardcore post-NFR stans--I've stated my case many times and I don't care to do it again with you here. Love that some people love the vagabond poet-stream of consciousness, more freestyle stuff, and there are songs I really appreciate that follow that path/approach, but I still think that her pre-NFR lyricism was more mystical, mysterious and effective without feeling like she was breathlessly trauma dumping sharing her innermost thoughts. Have a nice day! 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have a nice day! absolutely its time people to realize nfr was no new and great AT ALL she literally did things she done on nfr much more better in her pre nfr albums lol nfr is just good album and not very good LANAS album and when i see people putting it above hm i start having questions - Honeymoon shoudve got the acclaim that NFR got (and the last got it unreasonably because of how uninteresting and boring its getting after 4th minute of venice bitch) and btw nfr stans are the type pf people usually who will fight u if u say nfr isnt great so im tired of this conversation, the point is nfr isnt the greatest and lfl isnt the worst lanas albums and im happy people started to understand this now after almost 4 years, there is definitely the reason why we had that fanbase split on 2 right after nfr 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They constantly berated her for being a "middle-aged white woman" online and she clapped back. Trust me I cringed the entirety of the QFTC debacle but I stand with this lyric. 8 Quote ~ ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honey dew 11,174 Posted May 19, 2023 "I've been coverin' Joni and dancin' with Joan, Stevie's callin' on the telephone" always made my skin crawl 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really here for it unless it's purposeful ("Kanye West is blonde and gone" was meaningful so it's fine). Even "now that I'm singin' with Sean" was okay because it was like this wide-eyed "wow, look at me now" kind of expression but that's my point: she's done that before and DTWD name drops Joan 3 or 4 times (as well as others) and imo it's just too much. I'd be here for her referring to Joan (or anyone) in a more abstract way but "Joan did this" and "Joan said that" doesn't really do it for me With all that said, obviously the name dropping is coming from a place of admiration on her part and I get it, but yes, it's substantially cringe 3 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I KNOW ITS DUMB IM SORRY i genuinely and unironically love this lyric, it's so strange, unique, and invokes such strong imagery, like i don't picture her bending down to sniff a tail-pipe, i picture it like just her smelling cigarette smoke in the air, she smells the exhaust from a tail-pipe and it makes her smile for some reason honestly it's a really weird lyric now that i think about it more lol 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creditcardromancer 730 Posted August 17, 2023 Not y’all posting her campiest lyrics and saying they’re bad… A bad lyric to me is “we can slow dance to rock music, kiss while we do it, talk till we both turn blue”.. I don’t know why but to me it’s just bad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embach 34,032 Posted September 17, 2023 I don't really have a Lana lyric in my mind which I could consider the worst, I would rather consider them strange but reading those people's thoughts AND reactions are is kinda comical not gonna lie... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco truck 31,253 Posted December 11, 2023 Controversial but I despise all the lyrics of Black Bathing Suit, including but not limited to “Grenadine quarantine, I like you a lot It's LA, "Hey" on Zoom, Target parking lot“ “It's nothin' to do with them, it's my karmic lineage” “(They're fucking broke and we're laughin' about them) Mail me when you get the blues (We'll have the last laugh about it) By the way, thanks for the shoes (Haha) Your interest really made stacks“ The whole song is trying to give this vibe of “I’m not bothered” when she clearly is bothered lol and I just hate this song so much for some reason it’s my least favorite Lana song ever 0 Quote ❀❀ ˖° ⋆.ೃ࿔ this is my idea of fun °⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
