Can you analyze the music video as well??
"nobody's son, nobody's daughter"
To me feels like, when a person is a daughter or a son you need to fit into a mold, so not being someone's means you can just be yourself
...did i completely miss the point of this song? i genuinely thought this song is about settling down and enjoying life in domesticity 😂 that the protagonist is still the wild individual that she's always been, but it's like "hey this normal life turned out to be enjoyable, who would've thought. yea maybe i'll stay for a bit" kinda thing lmao. the sinister undertone that you explained completely makes sense. wow i see this song in another new light now. thanks for the analysis 💛
you CAN view this song in that way if that's what feels true for you though!! 💖
there's totally elements of romanticism and nostalgia that i mentioned and this whole song can come off very ~dreamy~
for me, i just can't get past the chemtrails being present and the fact that it's repeated so often AND it's in the title of the song, for me it sets up a dynamic that i can't overlook and then the little details just all seem unbalanced to me...
BUT your own interpretation is always valid too! this is all v subjective😊
thanks for your comment!✨
I thought this too! Like, domesticity is working for her, to a point, but she's really proud of how she's managed to keep her wild soul alive within that life, and also surprised by that. Maybe she didn't think that she could and was nervous about that when entering the domestic sphere.
I must admit, I'd not really got into the conspiracy theory meaning of 'chemtrails,' but I imagined them symbolising, before watching this video, as maybe bigger ideas, out-there dreams, or wider meanings of life that could be glimpsed by 'contemplating God'/ looking up at the sky. Tbh, I'm in the UK, and chemtrail conspiracies aren't a thing here.
Or maybe, as a writer who's also on the PTA, I'm just projecting, but I felt really represented and understood by this song :)
I think oposite concepts can be seen through all the lyrics of the song. She is born in June (summer) and he is born in December (winter), as far as I know, in astrology, Cancer is more of a conservative personality while Leo is a wild one, the chemtrails (bad) and the contry club (good)...
She also says that she is in the water and he is in the wind, she used that metaphore before in a track called Brooklyn Baby:
"I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea"
I’m very late but on a more surface level note I think she added she is a cancer since somehow the whole internet thought she was a Gemini lol
tulsa jesus freak is a pretty confusing one to me (at least some lines are). would love to hear you breaking it down one day
I definitely agree on your analysis to this song. I always see Lana as someone who's always chasing after freedom like her song Ride. And in this song i feel like she's in a place where she doesn't fit in. You're in a place where you try to convince yourself that this is the normal life where you should be but deep down you just want to get away and be in a place where you don't have to think of conforming into something.
The best analysis 💓 can’t wait for other Lana Del Rey’s lyrics analysis 😍
thank you!! ✨🙏
"Under the chemtrails AND country clubs". In my opinion, she wants (metaphorically) to be under the country clubs (upper class). She wants to live like a norman person (normality settles all over me). "I'm still so strange and wild": she's strange to the other rich people, because she doesn't want to live like that anymore but "i don't care what they think, drag racing my little red sports car". She's trying to escape from the country club because there are chemtrails over them (?)
Great video btw, I loved it!
Also, her ex boyfriend was born in December 7th and they broke up around the time that she wrote the song
that's a cool way to think about it, her escaping in her red sports car to get away from the country club! and i love what you said about how she may seem strange to the ppl in the country club. i can definitely see her wanting to escape!
thanks for your comment and kind words 😊✨
@@chemtrailsoverthecountryclub oh wow, i didn't know that. thank you for providing that context, that adds another layer to the song!
You did such an amazing job with your analysis!
I feel like I could go over every statement you made but let me just share some of my perspective -
Astrology - Lana's rising sign in Scorpio that's why her work is very much about passion, intensity and dark themes, but also that makes her a double water sign - Caner/Scorpio and the position of her Moon Sign (Moon is the ruler of the Cancerian aspect) in Leo shows the immediate water-fire (im)balance. Cancer is the care-giver (that's why she references kids, elementary schools, home life) but also it is connected to the Mother Nature as well (which is reflected in Lana's NFR album where she incorporates climate change issues as a time stamp of her work - chemtrails, fires in LA etc.). Lana being a double water sign, the main filter is the emotional filter - that's why she always has a statement of how she feels ("I'm not unhappy" "I'm not unhinged"). What is even more interesting is the fact that Lana was born on June 21st which is the cusp between Gemini and Cancer. Gemini is ruled by Mercury (movement, traveling, cars) so there's no wonder why she always has a notion of cars, running away, movement in general since the idea itself is so close to her Sun aspect (from the astrological point of view). Cancer/Capricorn go in line with one another as they sit right across each other in the astrological circle so they are the most compatible and we also see the Capricorn symbolism of in all throughout Lana's work (older men, questions about religion and God etc.)
What is also interesting is that the Moon in Leo when positioned well in your natal chart usually brings cats as pets or in general feline symbolism in your life and Lana does have 2 cats as pets but also in Born to Die video the first shot of her is her sitting at the altar of a church next to two tigers. That first shot of her is literally the vision of her natal chart if her natal chart had to be represented in an image. :)
thank you so much for this! it's so interesting to see lana's work through the perspective of someone who's knowledgeable about astrology! you explained that all so well, it's def interesting how it all seems interwoven together✨
and thanks for your kind words! 😊
I’m sorry but astrology signs have nothing to do with what your work goals are
omg yess your analysis opened my eyes on many things !!!
to me, the song chronicles three big timelines...one BEFORE, one DURING and one AFTER the "chemtrails over country clubs" life . the protagonist doesn't come from money , during a period of her life she might've been labeled as "unhinged or "unhappy" or maybe even "bored" due to (in my opinion) mental illness because the wording obviously states so. that era of her life is one she left for a country clubs life where she wished the ghost of her previous life didn't follow her but it kinda did, and now she can't seem to get rid of this allegation so she points out that she's "not unhinged or unhappy" mid convo when litterally nobody asked. it's like she's trying so hard to prove something as much as she's trying to fit into this new society (country clubs life) so she "swims with jewels on, she makes boring small talk with people she has nothing in common with, she wears jewels to stores...etc. and then she meets an old lover (like when we were kids under chemtrails and country clubs). he knows her from BEFORE country clubs life, they both come from the same place, he knows who she is . then comes the part when they run away (the AFTER country clubs life) and she lives the normal typical life where she washes her hair and does the laundry, late night TV...etc . they're happy and they feel at home as she states : "you're in the wind, im in the water" in my opinion means that they're both back in their own elements like they're grounded and in touch with nature (representative of authenticity) since she's a water sign... so they're alone in suburbia the brentwood market and she doesn't want anyone but him. they left the country clubs life behind and they went bellow it which is basically the normal, easy life that she needed all along :dddd
Can you do CHERRY by Lana?
I loved this!!! Please do more Lana Del Rey songs.
thank you! 😊 will def be doing more of her songs!
Wow, a fellow turkish people.
Great work! Can you please analyse "Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have - but I Have It" by Lana Del Rey? I think you will find it interesting.
thank you!
and yes, it’s on my list to be filmed soon! ty for the request😊
When I heard the song for the first time and I heard the turquoise reference, It made me think of how in movies, whenever there's a tycoon type character wearing a cowboy hat, he always has a thing around their neck with turquoise stone, instead of a tie. And turquoise was also a sacred stone for the natives. So, the man that the character is married to is someone rich and important who lives the "country club life" and she is trying to get him to give up that life in which the turquoise is a symbol of something taken over and owned, like a trophy and really live the more simple life. I think the chemtrails over the country club shows how rich people think polution can't affect them, that they are somehow isolated from the rest of the population. And in the video she wears a luxurious mask on her face, but ironically it's full of holes. This is indeed a brilliant song and video.
THANK YOU
You're doing a great job with your analysis! I love diving deep into the lyrics and both: finding out what the author had in mind and how I read it, how does it apply to my life.
Fun fuct: since English is not my first language and there are still plenty of words I don't know, when this song wasn't even out yet I thought that Country Club is some kind of barn, jezzy club rather for poor people living on the country sides ;d
About my interpretation: I think it's about the inner conflict the protagonist has, from one side she strives for family and safe love, from the other side she's afraid of loosing her wildness and freedom, she's trying to find normality as something that'll bring her fulfillment, she sees this as the only way to this peaceful lovelife so she's lying to herself that normal activities can be enough for her, but she deep down knows it's not, that's why we have those declarations, she doesn't want to convince us, she wants to convince herself.
Also, Lana, before releasing this album, was showing a book "Women who run with the wolves", so I think we could find some possible interpretations in there. This inner dilemma from this song also reminds me of the phrase from her new album, from Blue Bannisters "You can't be a muse and be happy, too
You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy".
thank you! 💖
& i can definitely see why you would think of a country club like that!! the name doesn't intuitively suggest that it's a place where wealthy people go lol
i agree w/ what you're saying & LOVE what you said about her trying to convince herself!! ✨
i def think that book has significance in relation to this song, especially when we look at the music video and all the wolf symbolism in it 👀
really love the blue banister lyrics you mentioned as well, those lyrics paired with what you said really help show the inner conflict present in lana's lyrics!
i really enjoyed this video
thank you!! i'm so glad 😊✨
Wonderful as always
thank you! 😊✨
This was really interesting, thank you!
thank you, glad you enjoyed!! 😊
Love the effort you put in these analysis
thank you so much 😊
You’re so good
thank you! ✨
This video was a dream come true! Thank you for letting us know what it meant to you. Keep like this! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
thank you!! glad you enjoyed! 😊✨
Omg what a great analysis!!! Will be watching the taylor's and lorde's ones too💓💓💓
aw thank you so much! glad you enjoyed 😊✨
What an amazing analysis. Will u also analyze all the songs in evermore?
thank you! & yes i will! 😊
Do Old Money and Brooklyn Baby someday
The line "as the summer gets cool" means a lot to me because it proves that there is something wrong going on in the background. The song is placed at summertime but here lana explicits that it's getting cold so it's like it still summertime but you see that there is something not good going on (that's the whole feeling this song transmites to me). So that line is like a resume of all the feeling of the song.
Yes and also in the music video it shows so much about things changing and how she drives in a storm. I feel like the music video would help with this analysis a bit.
There is a 100% chance that u did good in English class
thank you so much ❤️😍 the analysing is perfect ( as always). love so much your chanel 💕 kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
thank you for your kind words & for requesting this song 😊 glad you enjoyed it! ✨
Genius
Can you analyze the music video too???
I’d love to hear your input and opinions on it
I heard someone say that chemtrails could be a symbol of lines of coke.
i heard that after i posted a snippet of this on my tik tok! lol
there are always many different ways to interpret a song and they can all be valid! i do think you can use the symbol you mentioned and it'd still work throughout the song...it could be a juxtaposition of recreational drug use with a symbol of wealth/status (country club)...it'd bring more of a surreal vibe to the song in my opinion and give it a filter of dissociation too which would be interesting!
thanks for bringing up another way to look at it!😊
There‘s a strain called Chemdawg
subscribed and now ur sub count is 555, angel numbers lol. love your videos btw
lol yay! thank you for subscribing and for your kind words 😊!
@@summersentiment of course!! your talent of analyzing lyrics is so impressive and insane :)
@@nopekitty 🙏😊
can you do good days - sza next pls? 🥰 btw i love this video!
just posted your request 😊
@@summersentiment omggg thank u so much 🥰
Do 13 beaches and Cherry please! 😉
Could you analyze ‘This Is What Makes Us Girls’ 🙏
Please, could you analyze Lana's song "Dark but just a game"? I would be very greatful ☺️🎉
Maybe it has something to do with this Twin Peaks freak show, like they where sick back in the days and now they are even more sick because of chemtrails
Could you do Ivy from evermore next plzzzz
Yeah! I agree on almost everything. I’m not so sure about the chemtrails conspiracy theory, but I think that all the other things you say were spot on, that duality is telling a story about not being complete happy with her life, like she always wants more, being free and Wild ❤️ I love watching analysis of Lana’s music because nothing in her lyrics is random.
Please do the analysis of Wildflower wildfire 🤞🏽🙏🏽 one of her new singles
thank you for your comment!! 😊✨
i love how much substance lana packs into her lyrics😭
It is definitely a touchy subject, but chemtrails aka Solar Engineering is very real. Harvard University + bill gates have a project together. Sweden recently rejected to continuing Cloud Seeding, and Solar Engineering in their country.
I loved your analysis of this song, though. Valerie June's Astral Plane is a great song I think you'd enjoy.
Wish i could say nobody's son, nobody's daughter 🙄
you look like Camila Cabello 😻
aw thank you, that's such a compliment 😊
Omg this is so disrespectful-
@@LB-zn3ku why? Camila is beautiful just like her
@@bonitasblues me when i lie
@@LB-zn3ku dude what's wrong with you. I actually think Camila is pretty and I like her songs
Chemtrails = Smart Dust
The rest is just a distraction.
Maybe actually listen to the song next time. Thanks.
