This version feels like she wrote it when the memories were fresh and you can clearly hear the cynical anger in the lyrics. But in the NFR version, she reflected and introspected on the relationship and came to a point that she too had a part in the breakup of the relationship. It's crazy how reflection of events and time in general changes our perspective on things and issues.

I agree. It shows how diaristic she is with music, even the songs that already have been made, she remanufactures them based on new reflections and realizations. And I’m pretty sure she knows we have this version and the NFR version was the juxtaposition of someone going through the maturing process and since she doesn’t care about the charts she probably knows some of us get the point of reworking the song for NFR. It’s insane how she makes her life into living dynamic art.

I got the feeling that she sensed NFR would be praised by critics and changed the lyrics to reflect the fact that the album you are listening to is actually the next best American record.

I love this version, for me she's angry here and then on NFR time has passed and her feelings changed along with the lyrics, meaning "i was angry but i'm tired of fighting, it doesn't matter now" = "whatever's on tonight I just wanna party with you"

That Mirror or glass breaking sound makes sense with this song

This is crazy how some lyric lines can change whole meaning and mood

You did it all for fame Baby, how's life treating you now that it's over?

I like the version on NFR, but for some reason this version just sounds like shes in so much more pain even tho some people say that her voice sounds flat, but it just makes sense idk.

that “you know what im talking about” is from the song “Because of You”. took me a while to remember bc i heard she would sample some of her old songs.

People bashing the released version of this song kills me because while both are really good I think that the released one is a more realistic point of view. She recognizes that he isn't the only one focused on fame and putting aside a relationship, this time she's showing that its both's fault while in this one its more self focused and blaming it all in the other person and while that happens in real life if she changed the lyrics it has to be because she realized that he wasn't the only one in the wrong

Idk. I feel lana goes hard in love. She’s either all in or not at all. I think she takes on the habits of her loves so while they both were putting their all into the best American record she was only doing it for him and to get some of his attention. She seems to go for dominant men who r obsessed with their work and stuck in their own worlds. I think she likes escaping from her reality for a while. So I feel this version is the truer of the two. It captures the emotional separation exceptionally while her album version makes it sound like they had a functional relationship and were working together as equals taking on the world. I don’t buy that coming from Lana. There’s never a power balance in the relationships she sings about so her attempting to make this one appear to be….but who knows. We like Lana bcuz we can’t understand her.

The lyrics paint a way clearer picture, and there’s a more direct narrative in this one. That’s why it’s better. It’s telling a story. Saying ‘you were obsessed’ instead of we and making it about this man is naturally more pleasing. After hearing the album version it does not compare. You can tell how much it was reworked for NFR. You can feel the emotion in this one, it doesn’t sound like a song meant to be upbeat or positive, because it isn’t. It’s bitter sweet. You can feel the emotions in her sadness about the guy she’s talking about who had no time for her because of his obsession, I especially love the lyric “there was nothing left by the time we got to bed, baby that’s a shame.” Lana’s a great story teller.

Lanita Bless You 🌺❤️🏹🌼✨

both versions are amazing imo

This version is about the spiteful satisfaction of watching someone’s career flop. Maybe it was written about Barrie, or maybe someone else - regardless, in the released version she seems to make the song about regret and acknowledge that she was a factor as well to making their relationship deteriorate. That version is okay but I think this one has masterful storytelling and makes the song superior and way more interesting as instead of being a “I love the way we were” sentiment, this one is “Thanks for ruining our relationship for your stupid song, which wasn’t even that good, and by the way you lost your fame and also me - so now you have nothing left how does that feel to acknowledge and have to say out loud that I was right?”. Who knows to what degree Lana writes autobiographically, so maybe she really wanted the song to follow on from California’s “come back to me” message on NFR. But if it was purely from interesting song writing, it was a huge mistake to remove this. Not sure I’ll ever get over it. Also, “you think you’re top ship, but you’re actually an idiot” I thought was the whole point of NFR . .

This comment is ancient, but it's widely believed that in the original version, whenever she uses you - she refers to herself and not Barrie. So, she in fact sings about how she sacrificed her relationship with him in order to give all the energy to writing Ultraviolence.

You can google up these things, i think it’s very likely and make a lot more sense than anything Geasy. Beside, Lana seems to not get sentimental about G, she rather seems pissed, I think the one song about G is “In My Feelings”, its a shady song… she says “you wanna make the switch?”…as G switched her for Halsey as a feature in “Him and I” which released few months after; Halsey’s melodies in the track kinda resonates Lana’s singing techniques.
