Connection between LFL trailer and the album songs?

[Beautiful Loser 46,150]

When I first saw the black and white trailer for Lust For Life, I wondered what all those mysterious symbols meant and thought they must have some kind of connection with the songs the album will contain. With the songs we know is going to be in the album, and with the snippets Lana has shared with us, what are your thoughts?

The shown symbols were:

• A red strawberry (at 0:17)
• An hourglass
• An antique wine glass
• Planet Earth
• (Hearts from Lanas eyes as she gazes the Earth)
• A telephone
• A cooking pot/pan
• A galaxy
• X♥O
• A griffin (?)
• A moon Planet Mercury
• A balloon whisk
• The planets of the Milky Way
• American symbols (Mount Rushmore, Statue of Liberty)
• Edit: a ladder

To be honest, I'm not sure if there really is a connection between the symbols and the songs anymore. I mean... a whisk? That was probably for the "What shall I cook up for the kids today?" part of the monologue. But on the other hand "XO" could've been a symbol for "Love" and the wine glass might have been for "Cherry". I also think the American symbols might be for "God Bless America".

Maybe this is her way of telling us the tracklist? Will the album end with GBA?

Also, do you think we'll see more of the space theme? I loved it.

XO was for the weekend collab

 

I'd love to understand all this but given that the trailer was made prior to album completion/track finalising like idk how applicable it all is now

Someone pointed out on here that the planet we saw was actually Mercury and not the moon (and therefore, a planet. Haha) !

I'll edit it, thanks! I actually thought it was the moon, hehe.

The griffin is the symbol for the Chimera label (from Yoko Ono), so this is a reference to the Sean Lennon collab.

[Doll Harlow 12,350]

I'm still hoping that the strawberry symbolizes Strawberry Fields Forever, but it seems like wishful thinking. The American symbols are there because of the political themes that will be in the album (God Bless America ect). The rest, other than what has already been said, is hard to say.

XO was for the Weeknd
Chimera was for that Chimera label that Sean LEnnon is signed to and there was more but i dont remember

[Thunder Revenant 20,700]

I was so sure that her monologue contained some song names but so far this is seemingly not correct. Apart from the XO for LFL and the chimera for Sean Lennon, I doubt anything else is connected to the album at all. Just some usual ameticana-references plus some to magic/tarot

[TROPICUM 6,406]

Maybe the Statue Of Liberty represents BTD bc when it showed she was talking about transitioning from era to another era. 

 

 

idk i just put here my two cents

[Thunder Revenant 20,700]

The "antique wine glass" and the hourglass allude to the tarot card of the magician.

 

The planets allude to the Love music video.

 

AND THE COOKING STUFF IS BECAUSE SHE TALKS ABOUT COOKING UP STUFF FOR "THE KIDS" USING THE INGREDIENTS!! I can't believe people on here did never get that

[H E R O I N 1,536]

All the American Symbols are for God Bless America, i think

[Beautiful Loser 46,150]

The "antique wine glass" and the hourglass allude to the tarot card of the magician.

 

Oh, I'm not familiar with tarot cards, I didn't know that. Now I need to check what the Magician stands for.

its funny because i was wondering about this today too and i posted about the magician card in the LFL thread

 

 

The Magician is associated with the planet, Mercury and carries with it skill, logic, and intellect. The number of the Magician is one, the number of beginnings. The Magician is the bridge between the world of the spirit and the world of humanity. His right hand holds a staff raised toward the sky and his left hand points to the earth. He takes the power of the Universe and channels it through his own body and directs it to the physical plane.

 

she says in the trailer:  So each morning, I have the luxury of asking myself, 'What shall I cook up for the kids today? Something with a little spice? Something with a little bitterness but is ultimately sweet? Or shall I take the day off and turn down the fire, and just take a moment to send my love to them over the ether?' 

 

 

Lana is also a Gemini. planet Mercury rules over Gemini in astrology, too.

 

Maybe its just her true manifestation now, through this symbol.

The video director named the ladder in the background was also a symbol, I just realised a few days ago that it was connected to the Lust For Life music video. The hearts may be connected to the first single 'Love'.

The telephone is for her collab with Gaga. Telephone part 2 confirmed!!!!

13 Beaches is the second part of Paparazzi. 

[kitschesque 9,874]

There's been a pretty decent thread for this already

[Roll With me 5,640]

13 Beaches is the second part of Paparazzi. 

 

 The first part was High By The Beach, now in 13 Beaches she is in jail
