    I don't get why some people hate on Honeymoon. Lana's vocals, the lyrics, the production, everything about this album is sooo good. It's my most favorite album of hers.

      It has a very cinematic quality to it, which makes sense with the art of the album. It was the first album to come out after I became a fan and I played the CD in my car a ton, I've always loved it

      I love it too, it’s very deep and dark but I felt it so much when it came out cause I had lost my mind at the time and I wanted to leave my bf and escape from my toxic father so honeymoon was what I needed when it came out, I thought she was feeling the same way I was feeling. I felt so understood

      It’s an experience that should be listened to the whole way through, in my opinion… All her albums are brilliant, but Honeymoon is certainly a grand work. It took me a long time to realize this, even though I liked all the songs. Honeymoon is a whole vibe. But maybe that’s just me, because it came out at a pivotal part of my life and I played it all the time lol.

    The end of this song, when the bass drops back in and she sings “it’s not one of those phases I’m going through or just a song” hits so fucking hard, the way her voice seems strained on “song” lends such an emotional weight to it

    My theory about "The Blackest Day" is that Lana was in a new relationship while still processing and grieving her previous serious relationship. That's why, in the beginning, it's so hard for her to explain her feelings to her new lover. Ever since her baby (previous lover) went away she's been so sad and depressed. To get her mind off them, she's been having new flings and "looking for love in all the wrong places." Just trying to fill the void and loneliness while still being heartbroken, but of course it doesn't work. She doesn't want to talk about her future with her new lover because she can't even imagine one. She says "'Cause there's nothing for me to think about, now that he (her previous lover) is gone, I can't feel nothing." She's in a new relationship with a person, in the car with them, but she's emotionally detached. To me, the bridge is her eventually ruining this relationship and ultimately making her new lover feel the same way someone did to her. She's breaking their heart in the same way her's was broken because she is now the one who is emotionally unavailable. She's talking in third person, telling him he should've known better. "You're deader than ever and falling for forever, I'm playing head games with you... I got you where I want you now." Instead of being the one getting played and being led on, she's doing it to someone. Now her previous relationship and new relationship both went to flames and she's on her own again.

    Some fans have argued that this very song explores the five stages of grief. Denial (1st verse), Anger (bridge), Bargaining (2nd verse), Depression (chorus) and Acceptance (outro). Here more about mourning the loss of a relationship and just being at the depths of depression.
    There are some interesting analyses online if you ever have time to read them.

  • @wellinbrito8608
    @wellinbrito8608 ปีที่แล้ว +145

    I always saw this song as her being into a dark place after losing someone she loved (maybe he just left or died) and her using other people to seek love and to forget about him. Her manipulating other people so they could be her scape, but never something serious because she doesnt feel anything for them. Thats the manipulation part. But still feeling alone...idk, thats how i see it😅

    The bridge "you should've know better..." is actually a sort of love spell, originally in Spanish but Lana translated to English. And the function of the spell is to make who you want to fall in love with you.

    I was so happy to see your face when she said "Billie Holiday"... I dont think alot of ppl get her or know about her. "Strange fruit" & her whole, very hard life & her death while being handcuffed to the bed 😢 its heartbreaking. I have to look into things when I hear them so I did. Lana is the reason I looked into Billie Holiday, last year. I've learned so much from Lana's music. I didnt even know there were black beaches until I heard her music. I discovered her music year b4 last. She is a wealth of info, not just music...
    This song is beautifully haunting, one of my faves...

    In my interpretation it’s about the grief and loneliness of the inevitable discard phase in a toxic relationship… and the bridge is her regaining control during that phase, getting him where she wants him by starving him of the attention and the feeling of being under her spell…

  • @Rana-yk9sh
    @Rana-yk9sh ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I think this song is about being in a relationship as a way of escaping/grieving the loss/death of the love of lana's life. She’s in a relationship with a man already but he’s not the same man she’s referring to while saying “ever since my baby went away its been the blackest day”. I’ll try to explain line by line why I came to this conclusion.
    “Carry me home, got my blue nail polish on
    It's my favorite color and my favorite tone of song
    "I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on"
    It's what you gathered from my talk, but you were wrong”
    here lana is talking to her current partner, she’s feeling blue( sad) she has her blue nail polish on and her favorite blue(sad) music( billie holiday). She’s not happy in her current relationship and her partner can tell. “I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on" she doesnt want to break up with him tho and she knows he thinks that she wants to break up with him and she addresses that. “It's what you gathered from my talk, but you were wrong”.
    but then if she doesnt want to break up with him whats actually bothering her?
    “It's not easy for me to talk about
    I have heavy heartstrings
    I'm not simple, it's trigonometry
    It's hard to express
    I can't explain”
    she tells us how hard it is for her to actually talk about what’s troubling her and making her blue.
    but then in the chorus she finally tells us
    “Ever since my baby went away
    It's been the blackest day
    It's been the blackest day
    All I hear is Billie Holiday
    It's all that I play
    It's all that I play”
    Most lana fans she talks about a dying lover she talks about him extensively in her song dark paradise. I think this is the same ex lover she’s refering to, the one that went away.
    “Because I'm going deeper and deeper (Deeper)
    Harder and harder (Harder)
    Getting darker and darker
    Looking for love
    In all the wrong places
    Oh, my God
    In all the wrong places
    Oh, my God”
    here lana realises how ever since his death she’s been looking for love in wrong places(just like her current relationship). She’s being destructive.
    “Carry me home, got my new coat and my gun
    Wind in my hair, holding your hand, listening to our song”
    Here lana is talking to her current lover again. she wants him to take her home. she has a new coat( protection against the cold?) let’s remember blue is a cold color. also she has a gun which symbols physical protection. Lana does this a lot, in her song cruel world “got your bible and got your gun” referencing them both for spiritual and physical protection. they’re doing fun things (supposedly), wind in her hair(freedom), holding hands and listening to music but its all so superficial, such a fascade of what a happy honeymoon is. None of it is real.
    “Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come
    Just put your hands up in the air, the radio on
    'Cause there's nothing for us to talk about
    Like the future and those things
    'Cause there's nothing for me to think about
    Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing”
    More indications of how unhappy she is, she doesn’t want to talk about their future as a couple she just wants to have superficial fun and act as if they’re a happy couple having fun.
    “Cause there's nothing for me to think about
    Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing”
    she tells us and him again why the future doesnt matter because time has frozen for her ever since he left she cant feel anything. she’s blue.
    “You should've known better
    Than to have, to let her
    Get you under her spell of the weather
    I got you where I want you
    You're deader than ever
    And falling for forever
    I'm playing head games with you
    Got you where I want you
    I got you, I got you
    I got you where I want you now”
    here lana is talking about herself in 3rd person, this could mean she’s seperating herself from her own toxic actions/behaviors as a coping mechanism. Its like a voice in her head or maybe his head, telling him he should have known better than to believe her love for him. “get you under the spell of the weather” is a reference to how moody she is just like the weather and thats what pulled him after all, like a spell. “Deader than ever” I think her own depression and fascination with death is starting to impact him too, he’s becoming dead inside just like her. “And falling for forever”, marriage is supposed to be an eternal bond and honeymoons are supposed to be the best phase, none of that is real in this relationship. Lana feels like she has manipulated him into falling for her lie (that they’re forever). She even thinks she’s playing head games with him.
    “All I hear is Billie Holiday” just like you mentioned lana relates a lot to billie holiday and her music, she finds herself listening to her a lot.
    “It's not one of those phases I'm going through
    Or just a song, it's not one of them
    I'm on my own
    On my own
    On my own again
    I'm on my own again
    I'm on my own again
    I'm on my own again
    I'm on my own again”
    eventually the song ends with the relationship ane the honeymoon finally crumbling. Lana here addresses her critics/fans on how her sadness is not a phase, its an ongoing state she’s always been in and now she’s on her own again.

  • @caleb282
    @caleb282 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    This is probably my favorite lana bridge both sonically and lyrically. The way she sings it in an almost playfully suductive wisper talking about "you should've known better" "i got you were i want you" "I'm playing mind games with you". If you isolate it from the rest of the song it sounds like a flirty cat and mouse type of thing but in context it seems like its her desperately trying to grab onto anything that gives her a sense of control or power that she now feels she lacks because her "baby went away". Over all it's such a fun verse to listen (the layering and all the way she sings the different parts) and dissect because there are many ways it can be interpreted

  • @georgiam4725
    @georgiam4725 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Okay so my interpretation - and I’m unsure of this, but this is how I’ve always perceived it since Honeymoon came out (my fav album of hers btw 😉) is that this song is her in a relationship with someone that she is not in love with. Someone that she’s with just to fill the void, so she doesn’t feel so alone. “Ever since my baby went away” is in reference to an ex who is no longer in her life for whatever reason, whom she is still in love with.
    I think it’s her admitting that she has manipulated the person she is with currently “I got you where I want you now” - ‘where I want you now’ meaning infatuated with her, and her “oh my god” lyric is potentially realising either A) how much of a fucked up thing that is, or B) realising that this relationship is not filling the void - or the blackness/depression that she feels after losing the relationship with the person that she loved.
    What I really like about Lana is that she’s not really afraid to paint herself as the antagonist in her music sometimes. Songs like Cola from the Paradise album, or Sad Girl from the Ultraviolence album both paint her to be… not the most morally good person. Whether that’s a character she’s playing, or her actual life experience is up for debate but I like that she leaves it to the listener to interpret as they wish. It makes her music and her lyricism feel very human in that sense. It’s a form of vulnerability that not a lot of people willingly offer upfront.
    ALL of that being said, I do also really like the theory that someone else commented re. the 5 stages of grief. Super cool!
    I adore this song and I hope you’re doing well Mere!

    And falling for forever
    I'm playing head games with you"
    a lot of fans says that this bridge is actualy some sort of curse/spell and i love that! i see her kinda being dellusional like when youre drunk and think about what you want and, for a minute, you imagine a scenario where that is true, and when you bring that out loud you see how dellusional it sounds... i see something like that on the bridge, especially because in the outro she realizes the truth of her life, that shes on her own!

    by the way, i recommend looking into the lyrics on Genius (less mistakes and more context). cause in the fan made video "you're deader than ever" was changed to "you did it, i never" (the bridge), and there are other instances in lana's discography where her singing is ambiguous. Cola (Paradise EP) is still up in the air bc we don't know if she mentioned harvey w*inste*n or not, there's conflicting info on that lol

    Your hair & make-up look so pretty today, Mere! 💜 I can't wait to see you react to more Honeymoon, it is so ethereal. I just know that Art Deco & Religion are going to blow your mind. You said "the people you love the most end up treating you the worst" and I think that sums up the journey of Honeymoon perfectly. The opener, Honeymoon, is so hopeful & the opening line is "we both know that it's not fashionable to love me" but it seems like she's ready to let this man love her and is she is ready to love him despite all the shortcomings. But by the end, you've got the tracks 24, which is very forewarning & she's calling her man out from being a liar etc. And then the cover of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood; an ode to Nina Simone, who is of course so well known for her blues & jazz music, wraps it up with the reminder of the great voices who came before her who also have a similar story to tell. I don't know if you know about Lana's tattoos, but she has "Nina Billie" tattooed on her left collar bone too. "Amy Whitney" are tattooed on her right collar bone & that is for Amy Winehouse & Whitney Houston. Her birds of paradise, who you know she mentioned in Get Free. Excellent interpretation as always. 💗

    Honeymoon as a whole is an underrated masterpiece. The poem she reads during the Burnt Notion Interlude is just perfect. But after you reacting to this one I'd be really interested to see your breakdown on the song In My Feelings or the video for White Mustang from Lust For Life. Although you've probably already seen White Mustang, but just in case you haven't... it's worth it :)

  • @everythingtristenjohnson

    For me, how I look at it to relate to my story is the reflection of the aftermath of a temporary situation. Starts off with not wanting it to end, even though you know it should and that it hurts you more than it benefits. Then, it focuses on realizing that this person went after someone else when you went after them, finally allowing you to put them in the perspective of not being a good person. You are on your own again, but it is better this way.

    I really think that when she talks about her baby going away, she’s really talking about an actual child. And how all of this affects her relationship with him and hearself. She really mean that this ain’t “just a song” or a “phase”. In “Cinnamon Girl” she’s talking about cinnamon in her teeth (or can be understood as tea) that is an abortion tea. And recently in ocean blvd she’s talks about having a baby as well!

If you’re ever looking for more songs from other artists to react to, I definitely recommend “Various Storms & Saints,” “St. Jude,” “Never Let Me Go,” and “Hunger,” by Florence + the Machine (or just any song really.) Florence’s lyricism is my favourite next to Lana’s, and I think you would appreciate it too. Thanks for the video! Have a great night!

    I interpreted the song completely differently lol. For me, she’s grieving and recalls a time when her and somebody she loved, though not an easy relationship, in whatever way that was, were growing closer and she was sure she had him, but that disintegrated, because he either passed away or due to something else. I wonder what the real story behind it is.

  • @MJLM2312
    @MJLM2312 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I just want to point out that it seems like she is singing to different people on different stages of the song. For instance, in the second chorus, I always assumed she was singing to a different guy, one she's only having fun with while grieving for the guy the song is about. "There's nothing for us to talk about, like the future and those things, there's nothing for me to think about, now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing". First she says "us", talking about herself and the second guy, by the end she says "he", which makes me assume she's talking about a different person that doesn't belong to the previous "us". As if she can't see herself with this other guy because she lost the capacity to fall in love after losing the one she did love. Maybe it's something similar with the bridge? Maybe the guy she is singing to fell for another woman, and the "I got you were I want you now" is not meant for him but for someone else? I don't know what to make of the bridge either, but I do think in the second chorus she's singing to a different person.

  • @bluewescott4631

    i almost feel like this song has the same subject as her song Heroin, which is about her boyfriend who died of an OD in 2011. like she was lost and he made her feel found but suddenly she was on her own again. it wasn’t long after his death that she was catapulted to fame

    • @bluewescott4631
      @bluewescott4631 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i can also see this as kinda the same dynamic as Ghostin where every one of lana’s days are blacker and blacker since her lover “went away” and she is maybe in a new relationship but she’s not really there. with this lens the bridge is, like you suggested, about her and how her man should have stayed far away from her

There's a story behind this song, something about she did a interview and said something and her boyfriend at that time(the one she was engaged and who almost all the Ultraviolence album is about, especially Black Beauty) understood something wrong from what she said and decided to break up. They were extremely in love, and the end of that relationship hit so hard Lana, she was very depressed back then...

    The bridge of “I’ve got you where I want you..” Is this her dating life after ‘her blackest day’? After him, she’s dating for the game, she’s become a player with future relationships since she’s lost the love of her life. Here on out, she uses men since she felt used by ‘the one.’

    I'm happy I got to see this upload early, cause it means it's more likely for you to read what I have to say: I'm 22, listening to Lana since her debut in 2012, when I stayed up overnight listening to her first song I heard on repeat (Blue Jeans, btw) - that's how much instantly I connected with her.
    However, since I started watching you from a clip on TikTok, I've been understanding more about her process of evolution and maturing by paying closer attention to her lines and their meanings, and even references because English's not my mother language.
    I like watching some reactions, especially to her most touching albuns and songs, because it makes me feel a little like I felt when I myself listened to the same tracks for the first times. It's even better with you, though, for it's very clear to me how you too put some effort into relating with what Lanita is saying, hence, like already mention, giving me interpretations of lyrics I haven't realized before - or, most likely, I haven't understood at all before.
    Also, you've been posting so much content and that's great entertainment! Hope you're enjoying it all and not overdoing anything that'd make you tired at some point, and then leaving us. haha Lastly, I'd like to suggest you to check out "Religion".

    The bridge is an “actual love spell” to get the person you want. It starts just right at 4:20 and ends selling the spells saying 3 times “I GOT YOU where I want you know”.
    You can look up for more info about the magic spell.

    I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on
    It's what you gathered from my talk, but you were wrong
    It's not easy for me to talk about
    I have heavy heart strings
    And not simple, it's trigonometry
    It's hard to express
    I can't explain
    Ever since my baby went away
    It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
    All I hear is Billie Holiday
    It's all that I play
    It's all that I play
    Because I'm going deeper and deeper (deeper)
    Harder and harder (harder)
    Getting darker and darker
    Looking for love
    In all the wrong places
    Oh my god
    In all the wrong places
    Oh my god
    Carry me home, got my new car and my gun
    Wind in my hair, holding your hand, listen to a song
    Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come
    Just put your hands up in the air, the radio on
    'Cause there's nothing for us to talk about
    Like the future and those things
    'Cause there's nothing for me to think about
    Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing
    Ever since my baby went away

    In all the wrong places
    Oh my god
    In all the wrong places
    Oh my god
    You should've known better
    Than to have, to let her
    Get you under her spell of the weather
    I got you where I want you
    You're deader than ever
    I'm falling for forever
    I'm playing head games with you
    Got you where I want you
    I got you, I got you
    I got you where I want you now

    It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day

    It's not one of those phases I'm going through
    Or just a song, it's not one of them
