When a thought of K suddenly comes in...
 

 
poor bby
She's still thinking of him now and then, what he would say about everything that is happening to her lately, how he would caress her in the dark moments of her famous life nowadays, the way they used to be together, losing him...
It's kind of the same expression she does after performing Without You in Amoeba music store. Singing "can you picture it, babe, the life we could've lived?" must strike her down. Talking about that, I think the lyrics "Summertime is nice and hot/And my life is sweet like vanilla is/Gold and silver line my heart" mean that her life is nice now with the fame and what it can bring to someone like her. Then, "But burned into my brain all these stolen images" implies that even with all of that happening to her, the memories of them (cops) taking him away from her, "stealing" him and the clips of the life they would've had together won't stop popping out in her head. And that's probably what's happening with her before these expressions that she can't help.
About this I'm really sure: it's the look of someone who's heartbroken.

Guys, I'm new around here and I was just reading everything until now (lol, hi)
But I've been thinking about this connection that could be interesting.
Listening to "Every Man Gets His Wish" I noticed this part I didn't pay attention before: "you said I'd never make it out of here alive"
what leads me to "This Is What Makes Us Girls", "TEACHERS said we'd never make it out alive"
Anyone noticed that already?

If you wanna get high with her, she's in the back doing crack, drinkin' p-p-pepsi        

I think the whole concept she puts into her songs could possibly be from the movie Cool World. It has this cartoonist going inside the world he created himself - along with many others creations, there's Holli. I even think her name is inspired by Hollywood, for all of what she is: all caught up in the fame game, as Lana would say. She's like a blonde Jessica Rabbit, not as famous though. She drinks a lot, she smokes her cigarettes, she can be sweet and sexy at the same time (just like the voices and faces Lana does). Holli is like a grown-up Lolita that knows what she can do to get some coins. That, in the case, being her goal to become a real person and have fun probably singing and having fun with men (as shown in the movie, it's the first thing she does when she steps in the real world). She tries to kill anyone who tries to stop her little game. Such a femme fatale. I really think Lana could be into that movie, but it's just what I think about listening to the songs.
 
Also, here's a gif of Holli showing her illegal moves:

 
And then:

 
I even think her face reminds me blonde lizzy a little bit.

 
But then again, it's just a thought I had.

Makes a lot of sense, if you consider lyrically "I know I go go dance, but I do it for kicks" and "I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings"

About Young and Beautiful, does anybody remember this tweet?
 

  Seems to me that she never really stopped thinking of this moment, when she's gonna be looking back at her life right before she gets to heaven. The theories about Y&B instantly reminded me of it.

I think she's talking to K that he doesn't need to be afraid, feel ashamed or guilty of her and her suicide attempt, since it was because of him and her wish to see him again. Even though you really miss someone you love, I doubt you want the person to commit suicide. That's why he would be kinda scared.
 
 
 
Mike would make sense, since he apparently is someone she could lead a normal and right life with. Also, considering Heavy Hitter. "I heard a man screaming lights, camera, action. I can't remember what happened. I overdose, you throw me over your shoulder. I was dying, you were screaming". But that could be something from her love for cinema or something. Hmm. I would appreciate it if Barrie was the person she wants to do that. They seem happy together.

Totally agreed! That's what I wanted to say, musicians will care about their work, their music. It's just that overanalyzing ruins the spontaneous feeling of the creation. I think Lana isn't necessarily included in the "divine inspiration" club too. She gives me kind of the same impression that poets from the beat generation do. It feels like they're spitting the words on the paper, describing what's happening with them quickly. Lana, for the amount of songs she has, seems to be someone who is always writing, no matter how well or badly. Her main point seems to be telling stories about her experiences with her own codes, favorite words and names. It's all honesty with a bit of fantasy. I don't think she has many songs with relevant epiphany in them. I could say Last Girl On Earth has a touch of her early death epiphany, but generally she's mostly a down to earth artist. That in the sense of telling her stories rather than having an idea out of nowhere about some specific subject, because other than that she's pretty lunatic.
 
I love that she's delicate in a way - with her shyness and nervousness - but she's also bold and confident enough to tell what she wants and what she doesn't when it comes to her music. I don't think I'd be THIS into her if she wasn't full of these little weird details.

That was really nice to read. It's one of the best things about music, books or movies: randomly finding it, giving a try and seeing where it goes. That person was able to synthesize the whole essence of Lana's music without necessarily checking it all: first records, unreleased stuff, everything. I've never thought of BTD like that before. Lana is so raw as Lizzy, May Jailer, Rich Whores, Sparkle Jump Rope Queen or whatever, if you think. That natural condition is still with her somehow and I think it always will. I love how the person mentioned Pet Sounds and the way it was dubbed to express the idea of snaring inspiration before it's gone. Not caring or overthinking that much. Clumsy or imperfect, it's still going to be there, in its real form. That's quite amazing. Thinking about that, I remember how we have always discussed about the definition of her genre and we could never find anything specific. Thanks for sharing, Monicker. It's totally thread worthy! Always nice to see things from another perspective.

queen of pathological lying

i think someone else already said this in here but when she says 'you're so Art Deco' i think she's continuing the theme of Carmen and describing a girl who only exists to look good and go out at night
 
'Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the camera's on
And you're alive again'
 
what i mean is that there's this girl who goes out and stays out all night but she never lets people in emotionally - 'they all say hello, you try to ignore them because you want more' so she's nothing more than a decorative item. to other people, she only exists to look good, they don't know anything about what's going on in her mind because she ignores everyone who tries to be her friend.
 
this is a messy unorganised post bc i was pretty much just writing down my thought process lel
