I never thought much of the 'ghost in your machine' lyric until my philosophy lesson today (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_machine). I never seem to catch her with nonsense lyrics, I love that!
Welcome to LANALYSIS, where we get real unhealthy in our obsessions and absolutely revel in it.
This is a project I've been maintaining for a while now--Lana + Analysis...get it? The basic purpose is to relate every one of her songs (that's right, every last one of them) to her known and assumed relationships. Not a stone is left unturned. Privacy is violated. The fans rejoice. Mind you, it’s all pure speculation, but ~this is what makes us stans~
It’s pretty long but an interesting read, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it in all it’s updated glory, and I will continue to update as new information is revealed and new songs come out. I will also be adding pictures, sources, etc. Stay tuned!
Let’s get started!
EARLY RELATIONSHIPS (1985 - ~2005)
LOCAL ROCKSTARS (~2005 - 2009)
YOU MADE ME NICE FOR A WHILE (2009 - 2011)
POST-BREAKTHROUGH (2011+)
IN THE LAND OF DISCREPANCIES
ADVANCED LANALYSIS
IN SUMMARY..
Lingering questions… - Who the fuck is K? - Who the fuck is Ray? - Who the fuck is Bill? Is Bill really K? Does Bill matter at all? - What significance do cars play? She mentions eight in total (white Corvette, white Pontiac, blue Chevy Nova/Chevrolet, Cadillac convertible, Mercedes, pickup truck, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron) - When was she/who was she with in New York City and New Jersey? Ditto LA? Most mysterious and pressing, her time in the South? - Did she have a fling with Bradley Soileau? - Did Chris C. matter enough to her for her to write songs about him?
Assumptions Made: - Lana was a gogo dancer. - K is a drug dealer/murderer, dead or on death row. - Jimmy is her ex-fiancé, addicted to cocaine despite a Wikipedia page stressing how healthy he is, associated with Chevrolets. - Much of Sirens is about completely different relationships. - She fucked Bradley. - Mike controlled her career but their relationship wasn’t associated with anything fucked up like drugs or stripping.
Thanks for reading! I crave both your feedback and theories! This remains a forum collaboration and I don't claim to have the final say on Lanalytical manners.
For the sake of believability, I'm always hunting receipts, and currently: - The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games" - The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean. - The interview where she talks about meeting her boyfriend in rehab and being dazzled by his small-scale celebrity.
