Finding this version made me strangely happy, maybe someone else will like it too....

How in this world 
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I've got a war in my mind
So I just ride

 
No, I don't see it

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.

Aww her face from 4:10 to 4:30 is so cute. Then she says some speech but I can't really hear her....she's adorable 

Personally, the twirling ones are my favorite 


 
Oh and this Beauty:
When someone calls Lana boring

the game boy line makes the song! along with the bridge which is fantastic
If only the chorus wasn't shit 

 
Best: Old Money and Ultraviolence
Worst: Guns and Roses

Ok, so it's an American thing, I get it

It's different, but that can be a good thing if it grabs people's attention
I wonder if the song title is also a lyric though, as I don't see how that would work out...?

The tour ends in 2 weeks.
I wouldn't be surprised if she premiered the Lead single on the last date, OR maybe she doesn't do that this tour but waits like a week after it ends and then she releases it. In that case it is more likely that she would promo it. I would be very happy if we got televized performances. Her voice improved SO MUCH. She needs to show it to the world.

I love Lana so much It bothers me when I read something mean about her
For that reason I don't really read what others write about her outside of this forum. 
Lots of people don't get how great she is, and it's their hard loss

yes  

yes  

That's such a great idea
She could turn it into a slow, depressing anthem, a total transformation sort of like she did with OUAD
