"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

In the Garden of Evil there are fruits and doors for everyone as they desire it; is it coincidental that the "Gods and Monsters" video looks like Ke$ha's "Crazy Kids" video? "Criminals Run the World" People ignorantly dismiss or lash out at things they don't understand because it's easier; we've seen that with Lana's whole career and Tropico in particular The US critical reaction to BTD just shows how incapable of independent thought most people are; the herd mentality at work http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiegel.de%2Fspiegel%2Fkulturspiegel%2Fd-89726953.html

Laurence Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy

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

Lana does seem to view her fellow pop stars as cartoonish puppets, but more in the sense of being empty-headed corporate whores than Illuminati slaves (an angel in the garden of evil) Which is to say, she is more self-aware of needing to present a semiotically-charged objectified image--"the roses had the look of flowers that are looked at" Or for lulz http://vigilantcitizen.com/vc-community/born-die-esoteric-analysis/#idc-container http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZ2976mPvU

Y&B was robbed She says you don't want to get this way Famous and dumb at an early age Lying, I’m lying The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond AudioTune lies, she's still shining Guess that's why girlfriend didn't go to the Grammys Hollywood and New York, mister major. And there's me, Little queen of the stage, yeah. He's a God, One the stars, call creator. Hail the king of the industry players. Take off your business suit, Sitting in your lap for my interview ... You know this world is mean. Nothing's for free, It's money and technology. Together we'd be deadly.

"Spotlight, bad baby, you've got a flair For the violentest kind of love anywhere out there"

Correction: the real title is Ultraviolins Mandela is arrested on August 5, 1962, the date of Marilyn Monroe's death, and is in prison for 27 years Tropico is released on the day of Mandela's death and is 27 minutes long

Born to Die: Lana Del Jesus is initially welcomed as the Queen of Hipsters before being thoughtlessly crucified by her hipster brethren for violating their arcane purity laws Paradise: Eucharist (Cola), Harrowing of Hell (Land of Gods & Monsters) and Resurrection (Bel Air) Paradise Tour: Apostolic age of preaching to the Gentiles in foreign lands ("No prophet is accepted in his own country") Ultraviolence: Second coming in wrath and bloodshed with weeping and gnashing of teeth
