When she said “Black Narcissist” she’s referring to herself, like her dark depressive side that she’s tries to break free from by dancing and partying. She explained this after people were confused. It makes sense because she uses colors to display the different parts of her mind. The line before it is “white gown sociopath”

This album slap me hard cuz it took me 4 years to realize how good it is 😢

in the last song quoting “got this black narcissist off my back, she couldn’t care less and i never cared more” she’s referring to her own persona/soul, wbk that lana has serious mental health problems, so that’s how she sees a part of herself that haunts her to this day also what she means by hope can be dangerous, especially for a woman like herself, who has lived through many ups and downs, these lyrics convey a sense of desperation and emptiness, which may suggest that she places a great deal of importance on maintaining hope, despite the risk, she also acknowledges the struggles with her depression, and the power of hope, the song is a reminder that even in our lowest moments, we should never give up on hope.

He didn't let cinnamon girl end, it one of the best outro's

@augusttierney3199

Ай бұрын

I don’t think I’d like her earlier work if it wasn’t for liking her later work first. I’m the classic saw high praise on NFR first type person, and I hear a lot of weakness on things like BTD, but I can see where she was going, so they’re far more enjoyable now.

So, the part you left on the last song many fans interpret(like me) as being a metaphor for herself. The Black narcissist being her shadow, the things she doesn't want to show, her vulnerability, altogether her shadow. And 'shaking her ass' would be masking all of that with a wild life and being someone she's not, following standards that are set for her and other young women to be fun, and put out, and be less frigid. It's and easy lyric to misinterpret, but anyone can thing whatever they want about it.

the album title and single is based on Norman Perceval Rockwell who was an American painter and illustrator. His works were known to reflect American culture and the American dream. the ‘Fing’ suggests that the dream is dead maybe and that things are a lot darker and corrupt like her relationships perhaps

Norman Rockwell was a painter who just painted like the perfect all American family stereotype

I think you would love lana's album called Honeymoon ♡

Man, this reaction was everything! Lana is a masterpiece, all her music is amazing! You will be wrapped up in that beautiful, magical voice... some call her Witch, because her music casts spells on you, and I saw that magic happening in this reaction. Thank you!!!

I LOVE watching guys react to Lana, I got tired of the stigma that only women listen to her, but she’s an artist for the people 🩵

“black narcissist” is a metaphor/she means her state of mind, her depression and mental health that follows her around…that dark side of herself. Black used to describe the mood, a color you would associate with depression and depression can be associated with narcissistic tendencies. People who judge mental health often say that you might be too self involved/narcissistic tendencies.

‘I want her to read me a book’ she has a poetry book called violets bend backwards over the grass I think there’s an audio version of it online

It’s soo good too see when people just keep realising how genius she is❤

Thank you for this amazing reaction. I have become such a Lana Stan that I’ve gone down such a deep rabbit hole that I’m watching hour long random reaction videos! Ha. That’s how good she is and it’s great to see someone hear it for the first time. As many have said, yeah, “black narcissist” is not referring to a black person at all. Lana is so well read and educated she often references literature and other cultural things. I think she is shouting out the 1947 classic film “Black Narcissus.” And she is talking about herself on top of that. So it definitely has nothing to do with race. It was really interesting that the one song you didn’t really vibe with was “Doin’ Time” which is a cover of the 90s song by Sublime and the only song I think on the album that she didn’t write. I definitely want to hear you dig deeper into some of these lyrics. I agree her phrasing vocal performance is one of the stronger elements of Lana, and the production by Jack Antonoff including some of the incredible changes is amazing but her songwriting is what makes her an absolute legend at this point. It’s funny you say she should try rapping, definitely do a reaction to the entire BORN TO DIE album because it has a LOT or hip hop influence. And of course on LUST FOR LIFE she does tracks with ASAP Rocky and The Weeknd. You won’t find a better album than NFR but I would love to see what you think of BORN TO DIE. Or the song “White Dress” which I think you will die at a certain moment because she has an iconic and insane vocal phrasing moment that you will flip out over. More lana :)

Doin’ Time is actually a cover, it was original sung by Sublime, but that is also a sample of ‘Summertime’ by Herbie Mann!

Black narcissist is a metaphor she wrote lol she’s not judging a black person who’s a narcissist 💀

Black narcissist is actually referring to her mother. She's saying her mother has a dark soul. She talks about it more in the second verse, "She couldn't care less, and I never cared more, so there's no more to say about that."

Lana has always supported every race and colour. She also has a song called text book and Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep‐sea fishing where she emphasise that

Running it back after just the first line in ‘f*** it I love you’ is soooo real

been waiting for this one !!!! this is one of my favourite albums ever 🫶

My favorite album of Lana.

The song Doin Time isnt hers, she covered it

Lana once explained on an interview why she named the album and the opening track Norman F Rockwell. Norman Rockwell was a painter/illustrator very well known during the 20th century for portraying the American way of life. Sometimes with very idealistic images, sometimes with a bit critical tones towards the American way. During the process of writing and recording the album, Lana started to notice how those songs were painting very vivid scenes of her own feelings and personal life, and how they could relate to how she saw where the American way was setting during that time (2017-2019). Lana kinda explains the name of this album as an affirmation “Norman F****** Rockwell!” in a sense of how impressed she was by the fact that one century later his portraits are very accurate of the idealistic side of the American way but also the critical side of it. A lot of people notice even in the songs that seem to be about relationships, that this album has very political undertones, those undertones becoming very explicit during the greatest. One exemple can be the song F*** it I Love You, where she sings “you moved to California but it’s just a state of mind, it turns out everywhere you go you take yourself that’s not a lie”, which is her way of saying “New York and California are very idealized places by literally everyone, both those places can be a sh*tty hole sometimes, that’s why I left New York, that’s why I see all my insecurities even in a place I idealized so much like California”.

I hope you finished the rest of “hope is a dangerous thing…” now that you have background. It’s an incredible song, and one of my faves.

the t-t sound in bartender is supposed to mimic the sound of glasses clinking together. She truly is a genius, and i love your reactions!

Bro, You shouldn't have skipped the cinnamon girl instrumental, the reaction was going well.

One of the best albums of 2010s

If you get it, she will consume you. Every single album has its own place. Elizabeth Grant, aka Lana Del Rey…she’s a special one. 1:11 She’s had a very difficult relationship with her mother, and other very difficult life traumas. She’s very vulnerable inside her lyrics, throughout her albums. 👌🏼🔥

Hi ! I am an hardcore lana stan, she is truly amazing. she grew up in Lake Placid, NY as elizabeth grant on 21 june 1985. At 15,she had an alc0h°l addictioin. Her mother (we don't like her!!) hit her, and her father never defended her (she sings it on wildfire wildflower, Blue banisters). She isso so mysterious. Behind every lyric, there's a reason behind it. Mesmerizing. discography: 2012-... disclaimer: -she released before 20212 multiple albums (sirens, AKA lizzy grant,...) under other names than lana, BORN TO DIE/PARADISE - 2012 ULTRAVIOLENCE - 2014 HONEYMOON - 2015 LUST FOR LIFE - 2017 NFR - 2019 VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS - 2020 (poetry book) CHEMTRAILS OVER THE COUNTRY CLUB - 2021 BLUE BANISTERS - 2021 DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE4S A TUNNEL UNDER OCEAN BLVD - 2023 LASSO - 2024 not confirmed yet, it's a country album according to her Norman Rockwell is an american painter , he was popular in the '60-'70. she reffers to many 70's culture in this album. I thinkyou would like her album from 2017: "Lust for life", it has an ethereal cinematic vibe. ASAP ROCKY and playboy carti feature on it. Her voice is tender on it. There are some trap beats like doin time on that album, so idk if you'll like based on your reaction

She has some rap inspired songs! She’s collabed with asap rocky, playboi carti, the weeknd…

the country comment- its interesting youve noticrd that because after that album she went really country tone, country but lana basically. shes even coming out with an officially country album ''Lasso this year

her music is genuinely something else. it’s incredible. definitely give her other albums a listen! Born To Die you should visit next!

Metri, the producer on 'Mirrorball', Jack Antonoff, produced 11 of these tracks. He started off with Taylor and his career has snowballed to so SO many talented artists. Also, "Doing Time/Summertime" is a cover she did of a Sublime song. That's why the arrangement doesn't feel like her. She did as a track for a documentary on the band. I agree that it shouldn't have been put on the album and breaks the flow of her original tracks. 👏

To give you more info about lana del Rey born Elizabeth woolridge grant , she was born in small town called lake placid in NY. Her mother abused her and because of this and mental health issues lana started drinking excessively at age 14, her parents sent her to boarding school in Connecticut to get clean but she started doing even more drugs there. She then got sent to Spain at 16 by her mother (this is why lana can speak a lot of Spanish) where she lived for six months, she then went to university and took philosophy but dropped out to pursue music, throughout the ages of 19-25 she lived in NYC, Florida, Detroit, California to try and make it in music. She has a number of unreleased albums and demos from this time that you can find on the internet. Then she got signed by a UK label and moved to London for a year to make born to die. Which obviously made her famous, she has lived in LA pretty much since then and throughout her music career has continued taking her0in and c0caine it wasn’t until about 2019-2020 that she got fully clean. In terms of orders of listening to her stuff id do it in order of when the albums came out. She also has a poetry book which is amazing. Love ur videos ❤

This album and others is what I listen to when I'm getting ready to go out, smoke chill vibe sing, doing that rn reacting to you 🩷✨

You are so genuine and FUNNY, LOVE THAT, love that you also say that you're open minded since a lot of people be insecure listening to this type of music where you're from, haha respect for that, clearly it's worked in your favour too. Lana is QUEEN. Just wait till you hear the other albums ..

I’ve always thought that the black narcissist was her mother. I think you would realy enjoy her latest album Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean blvd

in ‘hope is a dangerous thing..’ context, black narcissist is simply her depression she describes depression as narcissistic because ‘it couldn’t care less and she never cared more’, takes away whatever joy she has not considering her true wishes, intentions and feeds off of them etc.. as depression does. lana has had her past and it makes sense for her to sing about such topics as depression and put it out there between the lines 🖤 she used the colour black as a symbolic embodiment of depression, hopelessness, bereavement📝

You crack me up with your reactions 😂 keep them coming ♥️

“Black narcissist” referred to depression, as most people view depressed people as an attention seeking. Basically saying depression is the darker version of being self centered

you absolutely have to go through her discography in chronological order to understand more of her and artistry and you'll also see how much rap influences her music and lyricism, especially on her mainstream debut album born to die, which was a cultural reset that influenced pop music and all of these other girls you mentioned. as a fan of hers of 12 years now, that was a great reaction to watch! even if NFR isn't really in my top 5

ive watched this video 3 times in the last 2 weeks it's so fun

React to her recent album "Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean boulevard." It is very much peak Lana IMO

I already wa5ched this but i had to watch again. You are so freaking funny 😅

Did you know Kanye asked lana to sing young and beautiful to kims engagement party!

I love your reaction bro

@1:12:07 Bro, she uses a lot of colors to associate feelings or emotions. Red, White, Blue, Green, Violet... has been used a lot in her songs, and Black as well (Black Beauty). In the last song when she uses "Black Narcissist" she's referring to her mother. She said that "shaking her ass" was the only thing that got "her mother" off of her back, because due to Lana's "bad behavior," her mother sent her to abroad institutions (refer to her song Fingertips). No worries bro, keep listening to Lana. Don't get scared by the colors on her songs. Don't "judge her like a picture book...by the colors" Don't forget to read! lol (See what I did here with Brooklyn Baby?)

very cool how in her lyrics she refers to herself as having a low profile in public using the color black, and she identifies with the color blue because of her sad emotional lyrics that are raw as hell. since shes takes inspiration from taylor's writing style (the producer for this album is taylor's main producer) she also references taylor with the colors green/gold(taylor is rich af) , red (the opposite of her, the most public image ever), and white (white horse, white dress, like how lana has a black bathing suit.) its pretty complex looking at it all

Doin Time is a cover of Sublime

It’s my first time watching u I just enjoyed the whole vid❤️❤️

The 7.5 score song is actually my fav song. Dying 🤣

Doin time is actually a cover of Sublime's song.. well.. doin time

I think the times where you start singing it like when “the coture es lit” are my favorite parts of your videos

lana del rey doesnt miss a single song on all of her albums, its insane. shes the greatest living songwriter and artist

YOU GET IT ❤️ *bless you

The last song is about alcoholism she had when she was a kid, and black narcissism is a reference to the past whit abuse of alcohol and hospitalization

So idk if you knew or noticed this but at the end of the songs it tells you who writes the songs & most of the albums that you’ve really liked, Jack Antonoff has been a co-writer & produced on those albums! Aka Folklore, Melodrama, & NFR :) ♡
