    Of course this is pretty far fetched, since we've only heard 4 out of the 15, but it's actually pretty interesting and probably something I'll think about when listening to Ultraviolence.

    I don't really know. Something could be lost in translation; I don't speak French. But the descriptions are different so I'm not sure if the US and French versions are any different.  
    Yep. In the US I know the total would come to $80 USD. Not sure about other countries.

    Why do songs have to be the 'new' Cola or 'new' Dark Paradise? What the fuck does that even mean? Would you be satisfied if it were lyrics over the same instrumental? Please can you be more descriptive...
     
    AFFA is a 'new' Ride and people shaded it for being reductive compared to Ride lol are you really asking for more song clones

    In the Electronic Beats interview she says the two things she writes about are Metaphysics and her boyfriend http://www.electronicbeats.net/en/features/interviews/lana-del-rey-interview/
     
     
    http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/11702/1/lana-del-rey-bad-girl-blues
     
     
    "Video Games" is said to be about her boyfriend in the verses, and about something quite different in the chorus:
     
    Heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you wanna do
    I heard that you like the bad girls
    Honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
     
    "When Eve was still with Adam, death did not exist. When she was separated from him, death came into being. If he enters again and attains his former self, death will be no more."
     
    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. (Whitman)  
    In Tropico there are two Lanas, one heavenly, one earthly, representing the two perspectives in her music
     
    The same pattern is repeated in "Blue Jeans" -- the verses are about a boyfriend, but the chorus shifts perspective from the mundane to the cosmic --
     
    I will love you 'til the end of time
    I would wait a million years
    Promise you'll remember that you're mine
    Baby can you see through the tears
    Love you more
    Than those bitches before
    Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember, oh baby ooh
    I will love you 'til the end of time
     
    Eve can love Adam for a million years, until the end of time ... Lana, perhaps not quite so long
     
    Say you'll remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamnesis_%28philosophy%29
     
    When you got her in the back seat
    Drivin' round the back streets
    Trying to block me out
    Do you remember my name?

    Cruising down Santa Monica Boulevard
    Does it light up the spark?
    Do you remember my name?

    Is she a Ride or Die Bitch?
    Does she know I'm tattooed onto your heart?
    You can try to fight it.
    I have left my mark on you
    There is nothing you can do...

    When you think you're over me
    And your bad baby is dead and gone
    Remember I'm the ghost in your machine...
     
    You try to forget and you tell her that you miss her
    But I bet every time you go to kiss her
    You get a hot rush feeling on your lips...
    It's me taking over you, throwing you a curve ball.

    Reminding you of that true romancin'
    Just like the first time, you and me dancin'.
     
    Lana dies in both the "Born to Die" and "Blue Jeans" videos -- in "She's Not Me" she (the forgotten Anima) comes back as a ghost, reminding Adam to remember Paradise
  20. Goddess liked a post in a topic by DeadAgainst in The Paradise and the esoteric origin of mankind   
    "According to Descartes, the human body may be a machine, but it only became a 'person' when it was infused with an immaterial soul. "
     
    "She's Not Me" enforces the same notion; immaterial Soul is "not" material Body (invisible versus visible); but these two as Subject-Object are reconciled at the end of Tropico, since Soul must unite the genera that appear divided
     
     
    Every time you tell me that I'm wrong
    I just can't remember how to play along
    There's something I have never told you
    I'm not really from this world
    There's something I have been withholding
    I'm not like every other girl...
     
    So if you begin to think that my light might be supernatural
    I'd have to say alright, you're right mon cher it is
    I come from a place that your mind cannot even imagine

    I actually would rather hear Florida Kilos as a new song and not Kill Kill! The title just makes me really curious about the song, so I want to know more about it than rehear a new version of an old song

    I still think one of her past loves (most likely K) fits the Cuban gangster described in American, West Coast & plenty of other songs. If he is illegal then he's 'like an American'.
  24. cheaptrailertrashglm liked a post in a topic by Goddess in LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships   
    I think she's always singing about K. I think he's in (pretty much) every song, and she's always comparing the other men to him, contributing things about him to them, or reflecting him onto them. Sort of like someone theorized she did with Jimmy Gnecco.
     
    This would explain the "I'm always singing about the same God damn person. I think I'll love him forever." because she actually is always singing about him.
     
    I'll give you a few examples off the top of my head-
     
    Dynamite: "And I'm so close to the real thing, I'm so close to the real thing I could almost die." This guy and the way he kisses her reminds her of K, she's so close to him "the real thing" and real love, that she could almost die, (and be with him.)
     
    Mermaid Motel: A lot of people were confused by this because Reeve clearly has a song entitled Lavender. And I do think this is about him, but then she references taking him to Coney Island (like she used to do with K.) And "God bless the ocean," a clear K thing. I'm also wondering if when she says "God bless you, and God bless me." If she isn't actually talking about K and herself there.
     
    Anyway, I'm sure you can find examples of this in almost every song. I'm on my mobile, or I would look farther into this and get more in depth. But I'd go so far as to say, that there are very few songs he's not in.
     
    I also wanted to add something to the Kill Kill theory with the line "Do you know I'm going to leave you?" If K was in Florida, maybe she had to leave and go back to NY (or where ever) for some reason. Also, "Tell me about Ray and his girl," I think Ray and K were probably friends, and he'd tell Lana about 'Ray and his girl' because he was worried about her cheating on him and was trying to see if she was at all jealous of Ray's girl & see if he had anything to worry about there. But with the lines from Gangsta boy "I wouldn't say I loved, loved you if I didn't. I can't cheat cause I know what I'm missing." I'd like to think the best and say she didn't!
     
    Although, in Bel Air "I won't cheat you no more." She might be conflicted and feel like she's cheating on him even though he's dead. This would make sense if they were still dating when he died. (LWY and TVIB&W sort of contradict this, but they could have always broken up when she 'left' for another state & gotten back together after that/those songs.) or she could just feel that loyal to him.
     
    "I won't cheat you no more," could also be her way of saying she won't pretend other guys are him anymore, now that she's matured and realizes he could feel 'cheated' from her doing that.
     
    This is my first time posting. Does anyone like my theories?
