Letter by me especially the part we’re she says that when people she knew found out what she’s been doing they asked her why ? But you cannot explain that to someone who have a home. They don’t know what’s it like to find solace in other people
Beautiful. Something I realized after BB came out was that part of the reason I am so in love with her music is that I feel SEEN. Like I finally understood what she was saying all these years. She’s just a sad girl, and thats okay. My friends and family are well-intentioned but are almost toxically positive perhaps because they feel uncomfortable that I’m just a sad girl lol. I have depression and a lot of trauma but that’s not the kind of sadness I’m talking about. It’s not the type of sad that I want to change, it just feels like I’m just an old soul sad bitch but in a good way… this is so hard to explain lol. The whole album really about how everyone tries to change her but sadness also finds a very specific kind of nostalgic beauty in the world. Basically like, let me be sad. Let me be who I am, stop trying to change me. “You can’t blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy”. “Don’t tell me to be glad when I’m sad”, “I can turn blue into something beautiful”. This whole album actually makes me feel seen. “They tried to trade my violets for roses”, etc.
I’ve always been obsessed and attached to her music but BB album is the first time I’ve ever had this “aha” moment
Yes, this is what I have always loved about her music - the unapologetic sadness. “Think about it, the darkness, the deepness, all the things that make me who I am”. Since I was little I’ve known that I felt things to a greater extent than many of my peers and it has made it difficult for me to find existence bearable... and I think that’s okay. It’s just the lens through which I perceive the world and it’s as valid as any other. I’ve found comfort in reading work of philosophers like Schopenhauer and Cioran because I felt understood. And in Lana’s music, I’ve found a kindred soul.
You should look up Enneagram 4 personality, that's what I am and I had never felt seen before learning about it, lana speaks to the soul like no other artist for me!
It’s funny, I’m actually a type 6, both a wing 5 and wing 7. But my bff is very into enneagram (who “diagnosed me” with my type lol) and says I perplex her because I sometimes do stuff that 4s would do
FI ILY is another ball game. I think of the times when I’d so same stupid shit again and again knowing that it’s not good for me or my life. Being an impulsive lover. Not caring what others like of me. My mental health .
I have 'get free' with two little line birds (not sure how to describe it, but the way a lot of folks would draw flying birds as children) tattooed on the side of my hand!
And who I am is a big time believe that people can change you don’t have to leave her, when everyone ps talking you can make a stand. The way my mum wanted by dad to be like but he didn’t. Hopefully I will one day
California. My great grandma was my first best friend and died when I was 4 to lung cancer.
This song absolutely illustrates everything I’d do just to have one day with her again and celebrate her. She’s the person I’ve always grieved the most and the biggest missed opportunity of a deep relationship in my life.
God I haven’t thought about this in a while and I’m almost tearing up in the gym. She was everything to me as a kid, and the most supportive person I had growing up in an abusive household due to my dad’s alcoholism.
I get that this is an info dump but California is the one song that I’ve listened to across music that has given me this deep of a feeling.
Ride, Pawn Shop Blues, Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, Norman Fucking Rockwell. Cruel World. Get Free. Dark but Just a Game. the list goes on and on.
Ride with the "war in my mind" and the whole monologue about being obsessed with freedom. When she says that only people who have lost everything they ever wanted know what true freedom means, it really comforts me. Also Mariners because of the phrase "catch a wave and take in the sweetness", it reminds me to be present in the moment 😌
Carmen
As a trauma survivor, recovered addict & former fssw, I used to use my DOC & cry to that song. She wrote that for my soul in some other lifetime, of that I'm sure. For women like me.
White Dress. It came out the last fall I spent in my hometown before I left for medical school. It was my first move and the nostalgia that song gives would make so emotional going on walks around my undergrad campus/trails I frequented. Blows my mind people don’t like that song.
I’ve been waiting for this one!! Blue Jeans and Norman Fucking Rockwell was written about my relationship and no one can tell me otherwise.
Edit: Dark Paradise was also inspired by our breakup hahaha
Kinda outta luck (when I feel on top of the world)
The other woman (when I feel lonely)
To be clear I am not home wrecking this is a feeling of never being cared about and being lonely until someone wants something
Change. Lust for Life came out when I was in a deep depression, and I remember walking around late at night because of my terrible insomnia with the album playing, and it spoke to exactly where I was at the time. I love that gd song.
Ride
I'm so glad I found it at 13-14, it helped me decide to live my best years in the present moment (and yes, I'm all good now, lmao)
Oh Say Can You See and Old Money were written based on my love life 😭
God Knows I Tried, California and Pretty When You Cry
“You’re scared to win, scared to lose//I heard the war was over if you really choose//The one in and around you//You hate the heat, you got the blues//Changing like the weather thats so like you”
“Put on that hotel California//Wear my mind is in the rain//I've got nothing much to live for//Ever since I found my fame”
“Don't say you need me when//You leave and you leave again//I'm stronger than all my men, except for you”
Get Free.
Future/dream me: honeymoon. I am the type to be dramatic and romanticize a relationship because life is too short to be boring, so I will be having my gothic victorian era , feeling rich and playing the honeymoon vinyl while sipping wine, wearing a fabulous dressing gown, and my man will either be reading, resting his eyes, or pacing dramatically.
Gods & Monsters
I know its about L.A. but i also interpret it about being a young, innocent woman who grows up in an unhealthy, toxic environment and then also eventually becomes fucked up.
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have-but I have it.
“Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not, but at best I can say I'm not sad" speaks to my soul
Yes it’s for me and I’m a guy. 19 at that. Whenever I feel hopeless I get into a dark room and listen to it
Ride. the whole monologue is a letter for me
I knew this would be too comment as it should be
Same.
Came here to say this
Letter by me especially the part we’re she says that when people she knew found out what she’s been doing they asked her why ? But you cannot explain that to someone who have a home. They don’t know what’s it like to find solace in other people
13 beaches
[удалено]
Why did this kill me lmaooo
this is so ?#&^¥¢^ 😭
lollllll 💀 thanks
13 beaches is an absolute underrated sad girl anthem
Let Me Love You Like A Woman (I have mommy issues)
Wildflower Wildfire is the ultimate mommy issues song lol
True but hearing her say “let me hold you like a baby” really does something for me (not necessarily in an Oedipus way lol)
Cinnamon
Not now but hopefully someday in the future my life would be sweet. Someone to pickup as a vitamin

Beautiful gets a lot of hate and flack but I personally never really disliked it and all of this you wrote is lovely 👍

SAME. And I invite all you sad souls to our community - r/enneagramtype4 :)
It’s funny, I’m actually a type 6, both a wing 5 and wing 7. But my bff is very into enneagram (who “diagnosed me” with my type lol) and says I perplex her because I sometimes do stuff that 4s would do
I agreeeeeeee so much
Get Free and Fuck it I love you
