If the rest of the songs are on the level of Honeymoon then we are in for a treat with this album.
I always had faith in Lana but now I have so much more, the album is gonna deliver

The bridge is completely amazing, her voice in it is on another level  
The wait was worth it, our baby never disappoints

I'm not kidding this is the best thing she's ever done and I'm dying

And I came here thinking that someone is still stanning for this iconic look  

She is a catholic
She eats Spaghetti every night with plain tomato sauce (apparently)
The guy who she wrote Video Games about played World of Warcraft
She LOVES vanilla ice cream and cotton candy
Her birth name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (biggest reveal ever )
She wrote everything on BTD, except for 1 line in Diet Mountain Dew
She thinks songs like DMD and Kinda Outta Luck are "just fluff" and doesn't take them very seriously
She is offended when someone calls her music boring because the music is an embodiment of her, so she interprets it as calling her (as a person) boring
After she created BTD her life goal was achieved and the rest of her goals in life are more personal to her
She finds it important to abide by the laws and be a good citizen
She used to get money by getting 100$ jobs on craigslist
She is interested in technology and the future
She has read a number of esoteric themed books
She likes listening to audio books and driving at night
She likes to take walks
She is the original leaker
 
Those come to mind right now, I hope you find them useful

I thought about this song today and came up with my interpretation.
I think this song describes Lana's relationship with things outside of herself which cause distress in her life (mainly the media/her record label) and lets us know how her experiences make her feel.
 
Why you make me work so hard
To put on that evening show
 
Here Lana talks about the problems she faces in her career as a musician. She loves to make music and she does tours, but promoting the songs is a drag for her, she is shy and a private person, doesn't really like to be the center of cynical, hurtful attention. She perceives many people to be this way. She does not enjoy some aspects of her career, yet she still has to do it.
 
When you know that all I want
Is to make your money grow?
 
She is addressing her "money hungry" label who always want to change her and push her to be more commercial, they are dissatisfied with her product. The label benefits from having her and she would be willing to work with them if only she was supported in what she wants to do.
 
You're like a baby who don't got nowhere to go
I feel you eyeing me, you keep it on the low
(on the low, on the low)
 
They act childish towards her - she has a contract, they don't let her go, but they don't want her in the way that she is available to them. They want to change her constantly.
 
But I can't let you in
And I can't keep you out
I wait for life to mend
But it never comes around
And I can't hear you call
And I can't hear me [shout?]
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around
 
The chorus addresses the media scrutinizing her and exposing too much about her life, her past, her family. She doesn't want people to dig around in her past yet she is helpless against them, she can't stop people from doing it. She waits for life to mend, to get better, for better things to come but they never seem to arrive. She wants to have a break where she can be more at peace but she only yearns for peace, it is not her actual experience.
 
And I'm lonely
I'm lonely
I'm lonely
 
These events make her feel lonely, being watched by the eye of so many people who misunderstand or judge her. Sometimes you feel the most alone in a crowd. That is how she is. She doesn't find someone who she can trust or someone who relates to her, even though it is imporant her to have a person who she can hold on to.
 
Why you make me take that shit
To put on that evening show
When you know I don't need it
Better than your booze and blow?
 
Again she laments that with her profession as a musician she has to do many things that she doesn't enjoy. Making music is her favorite part but there is a lot more to it than that.
In the two final lines, she says she doesn't need all the mainstream success that some would like her to have, it is not a priority for her. She likens those achievements to booze and blow, they put you high but they are also hurtful, they bring even more attention to you and she already had enough of that. She is worried that more attention would cause more problems.

(Scatting)
Feel like I'm falling apart
(Scatting)
Feel like I'm falling apart
(Scatting)
Feel like I'm falling apart
 
Because of the bad experiences, her stability is broken, she is falling apart, she doesn't know how to react what to say, and often gets into uncomfortable situations which give her even more bad reputation. (like the I want to die story) She feels destroyed but she is helpless and can't do much against it.
 
 
Would you tell me?
Would you tell me?
Would you tell me?
 
But I can't let you in
And I can't keep you out
I wait for life to [win/mend/end?]
But it never comes around
And I can't hear you call
And I can't hear me [shout?]
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around
 
And I'm lonely
I'm lonely
I'm lonely
 
 
She is alone - misunderstood, and helpless. Truly a sad song describing the abandonmnet she feels in her position from which she can't really escape.

Oh wow, this thread is so interesting to read.
I know all this stuff but it's cool to go through it again and again

I never realized how great Dan Heath is until now. I adore ALL of those songs you listed under his name.
However, I voted for Haynie. Let's face it, they created something uniquely amazing on BTD. And also just listen to the original Blue Velvet and then listen to Lana's version to see how they transformed it. They made it incomparably better. The production of Lucky Ones is specially awesome too. And who doesn't love the intro of Summertime Sadness? And I did not even get started on the loon yet.....Emile is our lord, our savior  

I made an easy to listen to snippet from what we have so far in case anyone is like me and wants to replay it continiously
http://vocaroo.com/i/s138tpnf5aN4

I am but that song is so funny it entertains me to no end
 
There is a detailed explanation for it a few pages back....it was more of a fantasy for Lana, that's what she wrote about + her obsession with Jimmy

Don't worry, there is footage from the trailer park days, and Stefani will ALWAYS suck!

This is really good!
Are you thinking of covering other Lana songs too?

Can we all agree she should release this on Honeymoon already?

Well, it is only 8 seconds of the song, and we don't really know the sound of HM yet, so that is hard to tell....
I JUST WANT SOME HOPE

Can someone rip audio from Instagram?
I'm thinking, if I spliced together the song from this and the first snippet I would have a version that is long enough that I could listen to it obsessively
