I figured the Mountain Dew was about that guy (can't remember his name) with longer hair on his myspace? Iirc he had a direct image of Diet Mountain Dew & even a picture of fetuses and how he wanted to name them Lana and Ray, which was also the man that potentially inspired Wayamaya?
 
Also Afraid is a song (to me) about escaping physical abuse, could she have 'extremified' the type of abuse and written along the same scenario you think? Like she had to leave because of his relapse and she was possibly afraid of his potential abuse or how much he'd wither? 
 
Lucky Ones too? holy shit
 
 
 
This isn't related to the quotes but I'm both amazed, terrified, and heartbroken reading all of this. Not because it's such a death ridden life but because it's so interesting reading all of this down to the specific wire. Even in it's early days literally nothing is ever NOT found on the internet, think about celebrities living similar lives to Lana's ten years ago but right now, everything they'll ever fucking do will be even more findable than these- and all these examples are from an internet era in which everything was harder to use. 
 
It's also insane just seeing how much we know about one persons life- we have threads about her as Lizzy even fucking babysitting in photos, a thread about finding her boyfriend that supposedly murdered people and was sent for a death pentalty (the fact people have even found his NAME is scary.)- stuff so secret and private and yet here we are, hundreds of fans she doesn't know finding out everything about her- even information she herself probably had forgotten. It's also such a goddamn telling tale and fantasy, her life before fame is literally a plotline that would've been written as a book years ago and would've become a tragic literary american classic, I hope when she's older she can remember all of these things and produce a fully transparent auto biography, because her life is SUCH a work of art.
 
Every little reference just makes her entire discography that much richer and more telling, the simplest titles inspired some of her best work, i love her so, so much- she's the only person that deserves the entire world in my opinion 

The "Classic" is just how myspace renamed all the albums when they updated..so it was originally titled just The Lucky Ones...definitely interesting!

Before I start this, I wish my condolences to Rob and his family and friends and mean no disrespect.
 
 
So when I started looking last night, I assumed he passed away around 2007-2009,
but Lana tweeted this on January 1, 2012
 

 
 
 
His Facebook profile is still up and active, (not going to link, as it's pretty easy to find) no connections between him and Lana/Lizzy on there.
Plenty of Mikey Martin on his profile though.
I could not find his former myspace profile, if he had one.
 
From there it was pretty easy to find a past connection between Rob and Mikey,
posted on December 11, 2006 on RecoveryRoad.org, recovered using wayback. 
 

 
 
Rob was a New York native, battled with drug addiction for a long time, became friends with Mikey at Road Recovery and joined his band as a production manager.
 
Quoted from the site in 2007 "ROAD RECOVERY is comprised of entertainment industry professionals whose lives have been touched by addiction and other adversities and now wish to make a positive impact on the lives of others."
 
I heavily believe Lizzy was involved in this organization, although I found nothing online as evidence.
But per her interview for Electronic Beats in 2013
 
 
 
 
and interview with Vogue in 2012 
 
 
 
Recovery Road is probably how she met Mikey and Rob.
In another interview, she reveals 
 
 
 
I think Rob is the person she's talking about here. Looking at his FB profile, it seemed he was still struggling with his addiction and re-entered rehab 2011. This leads me to believe Rob is subject to a lot of her songs, I think Dark Paradise and Heroin are 100% about him, as he is now the only confirmed friend/boyfriend she knew who died of drug overdose. It could also explain her somewhat strange behavior during the 2011-2012 era, she had just lost a friend, maybe an ex-boyfriend and was also gaining popularity and criticism.
 
Obviously all speculation, I'm wary to say she dated Rob as she called him a friend, but we are pretty sure she dated Mikey.
 
Sorry this was kind of all over the place, but what does everybody think?

For Rob and for Mikey
And all my birds of paradise 

The "Classic" is just how myspace renamed all the albums when they updated..so it was originally titled just The Lucky Ones...definitely interesting!

i was looking at rob's fb again and he has Hunter S Thompson as inspirational people on his profile. So I guess Is this happiness is/could be about Rob as well.

Before I start this, I wish my condolences to Rob and his family and friends and mean no disrespect.

Okay so now we know this is about Rob, whom she met when she was 19 (2005ish), living in Jersey, had a big impact on her and passed away. 
 
Rob was a friend of Mikey Martin's who she was rumored to date as well. Did she date both of them? 
"i am sleeping with your best friends" teas (Get Drunk recorded in 2007).
 
Also Mikey's from SoCal, so if Rob is too..."it only takes 2 hours to Nevada"
 
We have so much more information now 
 
Anybody have any other info?

Before I start this, I wish my condolences to Rob and his family and friends and mean no disrespect.

i've been searching for anything myspace era all day! i can't even find a crumb

I'm not denying the song being about him. I just can't fully believe every song or most of her songs are about him. 

UPDATE: I found his myspace. The only thing Lana on it is that he's friends with her on it. Theres a photo album titled Classic-The Lucky Ones which is interesting giving the title. 

Yes i found this out too when i was looking into it last night. I too believe she was involved with road recovery. I also found out that jimmy gnecco play at one of their benefit concerts in 2009. So this may be where she met Jimmy.  http://www.roadrecovery.org/index.php/2009-benefit-concert
 
The only thing about Rob tho is that he doesn't seem to have that many tattoos. The photos I saw he has a sleeve (his sleeve does look like it has a snake but it no way is in blue and ivy like yayo suggests) and a words above his stomach but he's not heavily tatted like how Bradley is if it fact Bradley represents who she's singing about in the BTD, BJ videos etc. We know Josh is heavily tatted now and we know video games is about him. Although I feel like her songs are inspired by more than one person make the most sense. Like one line might reference one and then another someone else. 
 
Also theres a pic of rob and he's holding a bottle of mountain dew and he's has ties to santa monica 

guessing it means she has more than one friend/lover who passed away...lanalysis is alive and breathing forever

Before I start this, I wish my condolences to Rob and his family and friends and mean no disrespect.

Holy shit. This is a big deal for Lanalysis. @SitarHero
 
It also really ties together a bunch of stuff including something I stumbled on recently which I'll hopefully have more to say about soon.

"How it gave you everything and took your life away." Chills
Now that we know all of this it's kind of crazy how the things Lana references in some of her songs are told exactly how they were.

You could be right. Poked around a bit, and it appears heroin is the drug that killed him.
 
More interesting notes, I found references to Mountain Dew and the movie "Drugstore Cowboy" on his page.
 
He was also bouncing around a bit between Santa Monica & New York... "back to Santa Monica, New York to LA"

It's weird to bring Lana songs into reality. Her music is an escape for me, so thinking about Yayo being about Rob is weird. Also, I'd imagine the man in Yayo is quite older than her because of the "daddy" part. But then again, her dad's name is also Rob

Ahh I know I realized Dark Paradise couldn’t have..thought for a sec it was on Paradise.
 
Maybe Heroin though?
