This "Lana Del Rey" singer went from being completely understanding that the biological wall is coming to singing songs such as "Young And Beautiful" with the following chorus of:
"Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?"

Can't she even see that this is a complete 180 degrees away from her other songs?
I disagree that this song lacks understanding of the realities of 'the wall', or panders to feminists.
In fact, the implicit premise behind the song's lyrics is that men have a preference for youth and looks, i.e. the wall is real. She acknowledges it with her constant repetition of the question "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful", expressing apprehension and doubt as she realises that her lover may not love her after her youth and looks fade. There is wistfulness in her insistence that "[she] knows that [he] will", as if saying so would make it true.
She needs to outright say it explicitly. While your interpretation is valid, other people who looked up to her (young girls) might and will have a totally different method of examining the lyrics and interpret in the opposite way as yours.
The chorus should be re-written as:
"Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Or am I simply indulging in my own little fantasy?"
or to be even more blunt about it:
"Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
Please tell me that you will
I desperately need you
For I'm unsure when will mother nature take it all away"
The message should be plain and unambiguous with the full intention of informing others on the brutal truth. What I'm trying to say is that the chorus are too vague that can be interpreted in many ways. In order for the song to fully exhume "red pill" knowledge, it shouldn't leave much room for any other form of imagination.
