“Violets for Roses” continues her newfound empowerment and tells the story of leaving an abusive relationship. We may all have baggage, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be loved. The bundle of chaos that the singer explains just shows that even though she is a rebellious and complicated woman, she still wants to be loved just like anyone else. She addresses the controversy that surrounded her weight gain during this time, singing “the only thing that still fits me is this black bathing suit,” and she reflects on her tough struggles with her family. In “Black Bathing Suit,” Rey shares her struggles during quarantine of being isolated and alone. The tracks show Lana’s diversity and prove she can do more than just a pretty ballad. “Nectar of the Gods” differs greatly, using aspects of country blues to share her inner rebel with her partner. “Dealer” collabs with indie rock artist Miles Kane for an old-school jazz blues track on drug abuse.

While most of the album is full of piano ballads, these tracks distinctively take a modern look at the blues genre.
It’s one of the most introspective tracks that Rey has made, and it shows that she can be delicate and resilient.īoth “Dealer” and “Nectar of the Gods” are defining songs on the album. By the end of the song, her sisters have helped her paint the banisters green, symbolizing that her lover did not come back. She sings, “Said he’d fix my weathervane / Give me children, take away my pain / And paint my banisters blue,” ultimately asking her former partner to give her this life in exchange for her vulnerability. Blue symbolizes vulnerability and wisdom, which is what the singer demonstrates in regard to her love life. The album’s title track features the common theme of the color blue. She not only used this intro track to show her support for the organization, but she also used it to demonstrate how her new sense of empowerment translates to an era of activism. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the singer shared her thoughts on the music industry. Speaking on her newfound self-love, Lana embraces it to address a past controversy involving the Black Lives Matter movement. “Text Book” introduces Blue Banisters perfectly and carries over country aspects of her previous album. Now, Rey is back to her usual standards of powerful tracks, both vocally and lyrically. She scaled back on her famous grandiose performances in favor of minimalist, more intimate moments.
Her previous work incorporated Americana folk roots to reflect on her controversial past. The album is Lana’s second release of the year, following Chemtrails Over the Country Club.
