    I refuse to believe Lana is the type of person who would call the paps. I mean, she's always using the same hat for god sake, it doesn't seem an attitude of someone who calls the paps...

    I do see why she likes him, he definitely has the 'I don't give a fuck' rockstar vibe. Like in Summer Wine video dude seems like someone from the 70's it's crazy.

    I mostly agree with Lorde about how mainstream music glamourize a lifestyle of opulence that is not even close of what people can afford it – and it is very sick to think that people can’t really relate to it but somehow are obsessed with this lifestyle. But I think that Lana has a very different take on this subject.
     
    Lana sings as someone who lived a life of opulence but she doesn’t associate this with happiness - she is all about the dark side of the “American dream”. She sings “Everything I want I have: money, notoriety and Rivieras” in a song called Without You and she claims that all this “it means nothing if I can’t have you”.  Children of the Bad revolution, Carmen and National Anthem are songs that portray the tragic consequences of a life involved with opulence. Differently of a rapper who manage to sing about how life is fucking amazing now he has a new car, in her songs Lana plays the *miss America* girl who had everything  and done it all, she drove the rights cars, wore the right clothes  but she not is satisfied and found love in a doomed relationship. So I would not really include Lana as an artist who glamourize money.
     
    Like Lorde, mostly people are really confused by Lana because she doesn’t have really a statement about this:  for some, lyrics like “money is the reason we exist” makes her a shallow girl and for others she is actually criticizing our society. It seems that nowadays either we are pro or against something, either you are the girl who sings about Hamptons or the girl who makes fun of it, there is no midterm anymore. But Lana is just someone really aware of all aspects of her own life, she doesn’t really have a massage, she is not really trying to change the game, she is just telling her story through music. That’s it.

    Whitman has a poem called To the Garden of The World - it's one of the poems selected for the chapter Children of ADAM  ( which Body electric also makes part) in Leaves of Grass.
     
    "TO the garden the world anew ascending, Potent mates, daughters, sons, preluding, The love, the life of their bodies, meaning and being, Curious here behold my resurrection after slumber, The revolving cycles in their wide sweep having brought me again, Amorous, mature, all beautiful to me, all wondrous, My limbs and the quivering fire that ever plays through them, for          reasons, most wondrous,  Existing I peer and penetrate still, Content with the present, content with the past, By my side or back of me Eve following, Or in front, and I following her just the same."

    Maybe I'm wrong but I guess that Lana is refering to herself in Black Beauty, not Barry. Like she is the sparrow blue, she's involved with so much beauty in her life right now -  she's in a worldwide tour, has an amazing carrear, a boyfriend who cares about her and fame but she can't really see the beauty in it. In some recently interviews she gave me an impression that she is clearly not satisfied with all that happened with her  ( and we also have that video in Dublin when she cried while singing Video Games), in one interview in particular I remember she said something like "All I wanted was to be a poet and all I could get is this ( refering to her staff and the fact that she has to stay in hotels and so on)". We all know that the backlash REALLY affected her so I think that this song it is indeed about her and how she is feeling right now not really about an relationship.
