@@aeas09 Yes! Zodiac was first and then this song, “You Must Love Me” demo, “Won Me Over”, and “Ice Cream” leaked later in the week

please explain

@@lalaw2 This is a copy and paste from my response to an earlier comment that asked the same question: ​ I interpret that line two ways: (1) as wanting to cleanse the soul or finally being relieved/free. Again, the song discusses the Gilgo Beach murders, which involved women who were sex workers, some subjected to human trafficking. I'd assume Lana's "Purify Me" is from the perspective of the victims. "Walk straight / Keep your head high" is that "you're never alone in the afterlife / Don't forget me" we see in the album, or finally reaching the gates of freedom from the abuse these women were subjected to. (2) (if we want to get a bit religious): prostitution is seen as a sin, and that's what these victims are identified as... which made them vulnerable prey to the killer because it's easier to lure them (some of them had kids and needed the money), and many of the disappearances went unheard of (one of the girls had a drug addiction, so the family didn't assume anything of her leaving without word). To purify is to purge, so it'd make sense to recognize these women as human than by this label that a lot of people use to justify the disappearances and deaths. As horrible as that is to say.

I would love it if she could at least re-use this melody (that in fact i love because it reminds me of these obscure Lizzy Grant demos) and maybe soften the lyrics or change them.

Dans beaucoup de médias qui sont sensé montrer aux spectateurs la réalité, ils le prennent mal. Après je comprends pourquoi, l'interpretation de lolita en film a inversé le symbolisme. (apparement) Sinon, oui, même si c'est mal pris, et que ça choque, c'est important d'en parler pour montrer une nouvelle vision en gens et les faire penser. Après si les victimes seraient là pour montrer leur consentement, je suis pas sure qu'elles auraient le même avis que leur famille.

🙏

@@lukaslourd Two known victims and one victim whose death is in possible connection to (also the main reason why new bodies were found in) the Gilgo beach murders.

​@@kaitibbya "rest in Power" roll call of the victims, much as it is done in Revolutionary contexts, where the names of dead patriots are mentioned, along with the line "present in Spirit!!!"

I agree. Though, I think it'd be more controversial rather than a song that'd get her "cancelled," because the case is still having developments. The song would've been perfect sat after A&W, and another thing that'd make sense in Lana relating is that this case happened near where she used to live. Nothing wrong with the lyrics, but there could be issues between this song and the victims' families.

why would she be cancelled ? it is a song with good message

@@lalaw2not really

@@mayjailersirens why

@@mayjailersirens she isn't romanticising killings

I think that would be amazing. Hope she does 🙏🏻

Sadly it doesn't exist yet only this version

@@HenriettaTheVirtuoso i just hope someone uses AI to clean the audio or something 😭

yes but what means purify me ? i feel stupid

@@lalaw2I think she wants to be “purified” from the dark thoughts that she’s having in the verses

To be honest, I was thinking the exact same thing. I think there’d be problems bringing up the names because of the victims’ families, considering this happened in recent times and legal updates are still occurring from what I’ve seen.

​@@kaitibby I think only the very best Lana could do is to use a nickname of each of them just like how she named Jennifer in Blue Bannisters as jenny if that's even her real name. Subtle but will be respected. Again, we can't please everybody but this song speaks for itself and it's for grieving and solidarity for the women we lost in the dark.

They should go ahead and lose their time

Well it'd indeed be better if she asked the familes first before releasing it

@@kaitibby victims' families would be glad i have no idea why they wouldn't

😂

Gurll u did not omgg, all of them is good

@@Auvelious I'm talking about Judah's and Jon's interlude. They're fvcking garbage and I hated it. I absolutely love The Trio and Burnt Norton but Judah's and Jon's interlude is by far the worst interlude that Lana ever made

@@fudanshi62wrong you’re just tasteless

You're just offended omg, is not the first time I've seen you hate the interludes. If you don't get them, you don't get Lana Del Rey

its in the description

​@@zodiacpurifiedI still wonder what "purify me" line means. Maybe the meaning is hidden behind zodiac lore but idk. And I wonder why verses stays the same it has to have meaning

@@kaitibbythat was a beautiful interpretation

@@kaitibby omg yeah thank you <33

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
