EVOL

I think it sums it all up, really.

but she could make it sound different live, i've always wanted to see her perform jazz live, and i really think she could make a CWYCMA sound really unique and good. 

Was I the only one to notice that Barrie's wearing the same necklace as Lana's back at the 2012's Echo Awards?

ugh god. I seriously hope there is some sort of holocaust for all of these "sassy" twitters where people send messages to celebrities to try to be cool and <3 it when they block them. I see so many tweets every day to people like Azealia Banks where someone will just reply ":)" "CUNT" etc. its SO funny and if you do that im so jealous of your complete ~SASSINESS~ and bad ass IM TOO COOL TO GIVE A FUCK image. 

so pretty ... SO PRETTY 
 

 
all the women standing so far ... TIWMUG  
 
 vs
 
2012 vs 2013 ... 2012 still better, but that was probably her best ever. at least she knows how to dress properly for cannes, and not wear like fucking smocks from the geriatric section at chanel lol

OK, here you go, guys.
 
 
Hopefully it's a bit more comprehensible than Google Translate. Feel free to point out any typos and other sorts of fails, as I'm sure there are bound to be many .

This article is originally in Czech so I ran the text through the rarely accurate but always helpful Google Translate.

 Here's the rough translation:

Interview with Lana Del Rey was twice canceled literally at the last minute, it worked the third time. Fears of a meeting with an asterisk zpovykanou(?) and its quirks but were ultimately unfounded. In his hotel suite Prague Hilton me about two hours before the event on Electronic Beats conquered the Czech audience welcomed the sweet and smiling young woman in shirt and jeans, which you could not help but notice two things: that it is extremely beautiful and the barefoot.

Before Sirens leaked I thought For K Part 2 was about David Kahne, as someone stated previously.
 
In that facebook-interview (the one where she says "I just thought it was so sad that like, I don’t know, God had found someone so perfect for me and that we really couldn’t be together") she talks about the person she had a relationship with that influenced BTD and she says "we were birds of a feather"
 
In a Lizzy Grant interview she says
"My producer, David Kahne, and me got along very well because he knew that I lived in my songs, and so he just tried to make them better. He asked me in a letter what I wanted the record to sound like, and I said, “I want it to sound famous, like a sad party.” He thought that was a wonderful idea, and we began working the next day. I like to think we’re birds of a feather."
 
It's probably nothing, she's just using the phrase to describe different people, but I did used to think that FKP2 was about their (professional) relationship, "Use that voice, sing that song , And tell me to come on, to come on, come on" but this doesn't really fit with For K (or anything else for that matter), still, it might interest some.
 
 
 
I used to think K was Elvis. She's said that she was obsessed with him as a teenager, K is for King, Elvis was The King.
Elvis' body guards were called the Memphis Mafia - gangsters (not literally), and in Gangsta Boy she sings "high school, loved you from the beginning". She's also said that when she saw Elvis for the first time she was blown away by his beauty. In Lucky Ones she sings "everybody told me love was blind, then I saw your face and you blew my mind".
In
interview (or it might be in part 2) the interviewer asks her if Million Dollar Man is about Elvis, and she says "maybe" and smiles. "One for the money, two for the show" is also a lyric in Blue Suede Shoes. When I googled it I found that the expression "one for the money..." is one used in horse racing, as in Off to the Races.And obviously Elvis fits the description in American "tall, tan/skin so golden brown" although it doesn't really makes sense that American would be about him since she namedrops him. Also, Elvis is from Mississippi (Raise Me Up). I thought that maybe, since a lot of people think she writes each song about more than one person, that she uses Elvis as a base-character and then writes autobiographically around that base... if that makes sense.
 
 
I'm sure Y&B is about Jimmy Gnecco (also Radio and Bel Air)
 
 
 
 
I just read this on wikipedia: "In Nabokov's 'Lolita', the name is used in reference to Mr Clare Quilty, the man who takes Lolita from Humbert. Carmen and Clare being both male and female names, Lolita uses them to deceive Humbert into thinking he is a woman and no threat."
I knew there was a song in Lolita called Carmen
 
 
and so I assumed that's where she got the name from. I'm not sure if it's relevant or not (God, imagine if every song she's ever written is just fan fiction about Lolita) but thought I'd share.
 
 
 
And this has been bothering me for a while, in the album booklet it says "Thank you to my devoted managers Ben Mawson and Ed Millett. And to A.G."
Who is A.G.?

she talks about being the 'bad girl that knows better', having a chameleon soul, no fixed personality, etc and i think its all true. i remember reading an article about her where the interviewer describes her as being 'coltishly innocent' with a 'vampish sense of knowingness'. i think that's a pretty accurate description of her lyrics, her imagery, and her personality. its probably also why people are so quick to assume that she's inauthentic, or putting on some sort of an act -- she seems to be a bit of a walking contradiction. personally, i think lizzy grant was more 'coltish and innocent' while lana del rey is more 'vampish and knowing'. elizabeth (herself) is probably a combination of those things and more. 
 
i think her beauty and her broadly overactive mind have come to shape her the most. she seems highly sensitive and intuitive to people's energies, her surroundings, and her own thoughts. since she tends to remain quiet (or ~ contemplative), perhaps even stoic or detached, people have thus come to perceive her as being stuck up, arrogant, possibly even vapid, if not worse. maybe these reactions have pushed her into her own shell, or left her quite cynical? i think a large part of her insecurities come down to the misperceptions (and passive aggressions) that have probably followed her throughout life. the anxiety of first impressions must be monumental for her. ultimately, i think she loves being beautiful, but its probably an often bittersweet kind of thing. i think she's been able to see the darker depths of human nature as a result. i think she feels a bit defensive about her looks; part of her may even resent what it does to those around her. but paradoxically, i think she needs to feel beautiful. 
 
i think she's a sweet person. i think she cares deeply about others' happiness, despite potentially being a bit aloof? i mean, i remember reading david kahne write that she was always riding the subway late at night by herself. so her being ~weird~ and aloof may be due to a self reflective nature. i also think she's a bit of a narcissist (which unfortunately, seems to be correlated with introversion). this comes back to her dual personality: she often seems insecure, awkward, and nervous. yet she knows that she's beautiful. she knows that she's smart, and she knows that she's talented. i guess it might be hard to attain a sense of self-security when you've got no fixed personality. but she seems happier and more confident now? i think she's come to feel validation (for her talents, and artistic intuitions) -- and its completely warranted. i think she's happy because people are starting to see how great she is, and now she can work on any kind of project that pops up in her mind without worrying about how it'll be received. i mean, after pussy cola, she can kind of do whatever the fuck she wants right? 
 
i dunno what else to say at the moment. a lot of what i feel that i know about her may just be random, abstract comprehensions mixed with vague projections. i guess she seems rather complicated. or simple, maybe? i dunno. but despite everything, i like to think she's as real as they come in this particular industry. 
 
also, if any of you are into jungian typology, i'm fairly certain that she's an INFP

---

i think lana del rey, lizzy grant etc. are all personae. lizzy grant may be her real name but she was still creating an image for that name. i think that's why she changed her name, she wanted to start from scratch and created ~*~lana del rey~*~. it's like a work of art to her, creating an image. i'm sure she's spent tons of time in front of the mirror practising her pout and the other poses she does, shes not really that good at staying in character (here for example:
) though. i'm also sure she practises the answers she gives in interviews, the stuff about "making her life a work of art" and stuff like that.
 
lots of people do it, kurt cobain practised the way he'd shrug his shoulders in interviews and he rehearsed answers he'd give in interviews. he cared a lot about people not thinking he cared. he'd complain about "smells like teen spirit" being played too much but would complain to his management when he thought it wasn't being played enough etc. etc.
 
they just want(ed) to make sure that people see them the way they want them to see them.

She looks beautiful. I hope she wears nothing to my concert though

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.

Del Rey said, “It was an honor to work with Baz Lurhmann on his amazing adaptation of one of the most extraordinary books ever written. The movie is highly glamorous and exciting; Rick Nowels and I were thrilled to write the song for the film.”
 
There are going to be three bonus tracks along with the 14 we already know of, maybe one of them will be another song from Lana? Anyway, just found this, lots of info including Lana so I thought I'd share it. 
 
Here is the full article.
 
Sorry if this is minimalistic or whatever, I'm not good at sharing news, breathing, etc. Just wanted to contribute. 
 

I sometimes still can’t believe how anyone can publish anything.
 
Hmmm, we need more hits on our shitty site. What can we do? That singer, what’s her name, Lana Del Whatever, she’s big now, write something about her. She was what? Seen buying snacks late at night, you say? Do a write up on it! Mention how she probably had the munchies because she's on pot.  
 
I think this article could have been rewritten as the following: 
 
Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing, nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing, nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. Nothing, nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing, nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. Nothing, nothing nothing nothing nothing Nothing nothing nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing.
 
But it’s okay because people will read it! 
 
 
 
Oh man, but Diet Coke and Doritos?
