invented the three laws of robotics. invented Isaac Asimov fanfiction
not to mention Joseph Campbell (who wrote the Hero's journey and worked with Del Rey publishers) was besties with Isaac asimov.
And also the main character of Isaac Asimovs longest series secretly controlled everything from the moon. with magic. because they loved humanity and they wanted to save it from political decadence and turmoil during dark times.

we always knew she was a time traveling queen
The title of the story is "Carhunters of the Concrete Prairie" (which is the best title ever) and it was actually written by Robert Sheckley in honor of Asimov's stories.

"Mary" on the balcony
Ravens = Nigredo
Good overview: http://www.soul-guidance.com/houseofthesun/alchemyintro.htm
"I'm leaving you for the moment" = "My soul and my spirit depart"
Many scales, yes . . . alchemy repeats the creation of the universe; the Fall and Redemption
Dark Paradise
--The Tower of Alchemy
Fire as violent love, Sulphur and Mars energy of transformation performing the Operation of the Sun
Guy Fawkes the revolutionary attempts to blow up Parliament; i.e. destroy the old order of Ego and its ossified belief structures (represented by Jackoff Jack in the Tower in Tropico)
The video for "Born to Die" with Bradley again depicts the first stage of the Alchemical work as "Death": Lana in two forms as the Higher and Lower Shekinah (Sophia). Bradley as the alchemical King from whom Soul departs in a fiery crash as he steers his Merkabah-Chariot. Brad takes the cig and gives it to Lana ("His Parliament's on fire ..."); i.e. he communicates his alchemical fire to her.
"I got the ice, you got the fire.
I got the stuff, to take you higher....
This is a race, let's go fast honey....
C'mon pretty baby, I'll be takin' you down."

I think "West Coast" has a lot to do with this poem Barrie posted on FB: https://www.facebook.com/nightmareboybjo/posts/413946528751206
"She's a drunk bitch
he's a drunk cunt
she's so lonely now he's gone
he's day dreaming of his new gun
she's a feeling his only one
burn me a liar
want to die in a fire
holy and wired
addicted to liars
Pontius pilate serve me a sin
be my next of kin
broken by her violent hymn
she thinks he's jesus crying within
serve him a sire
he wants to die in a fire
holy and wired
addicted to liars
burn me a liar
i want to die in a fire
buried in fire
addicted to liars
my girl she burns her lover and
she says something as he's on fire and
my girl she burns her lover and
says something like love"
"Chelsea Hotel #2" appears on this Leonard Cohen album, whose cover features "an image from the alchemical text Rosarium philosophorum"
"You're the King
My fear baby
I'm the Queen of Alchemy
I know a way to make gold by mixing our souls to escape reality"
Lana, as she told us in "Heavy Hitter," is the Queen of Alchemy, and her work must be interpreted in this context. She is burning her lover (and/or the listener) in the alchemical fire, purging away his impurities and symbolically "killing" the lower self so that it may be reborn as a Phoenix.
The first stage of Alchemy is the Nigredo, in which the sun of day-consciousness figuratively is immersed in the darkness of the lower world, interpreted in both its macrocosmic and microcosmic aspects as the soul descending into body and the consciousness descending into the unconscious waters of the psyche, respectively. This is the sun setting in the "West" to make the night-journey through the Underworld.
"Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin'
If you're not drinking, then you're not playing
But you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?
"Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling, like
It all could happen, that's why I'm leaving you for the moment, you for the moment, boy blue, yeah, you..."
"Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
The silver starlets, their queens of Saigons
...they love their movies
Their Golden Gods and rock 'n' roll groupies
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?"
Los Angeles is the Gateway to the Underworld, as she said in Tropico. The Land of Gods and Monsters is an inverted reflection of the higher spiritual reality of the world of forms, where all of the "Golden Gods" and "Silver Starlets" dwell in their own false Paradise. Here one is subjected to spiritual intoxication and occlusion that dulls the senses. Lana, as the Alchemical Queen, has descended into this world as a Ray of light broken off from the Divine, here to alchemically transform the lower world into a true image of the eternal Paradise; she as Soul is the "music" in her lover as Ego that will transform him from the dead to the living.
"You're falling hard, I push away
I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me and I wanna say, "I miss you so much"
But something keeps me really quiet"
This ties into the symbolism of "Black Beauty," in which Lana as Soul paints herself black in the Nigredo stage of the work, when the alchemical fire turns all to ashes; she no longer speaks to her lover and he is left seemingly alone in his Dark Night of the Soul.
"I can see my baby swinging, his Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing, ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, my love
On the balcony and I'm swaying, move baby, move baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love"
Lana repeats the familiar trope of separating herself into two characters in the verse-chorus structure; here she stands as the Higher Sophia, in distinction from the Lower (the White and Red girls as Soul and Body, Mary and Eve), who declares her love as her "baby" burns himself in the alchemical fire. In Barrie's "Mary," we see Mary on a balcony as the Mother Goddess, overlooking the mortal child who wishes to approach her divinity.
"Would you kill for me? Would you die for me?
Put your hands where I can see them,
Put them in the air."
And if it seems strange that she would personify herself as a goddess . . .
"I want to be the whole world's girl, gramma
Tell me do you think that's wrong?
"Don't cry, honey, crazy girl
Don't you know you are the world?
Every time you feel unsure
Try to remember what you are"

Even if Radiohead owns the royalties to the song, I don't think that means she can't put it on the album ... does it? Otherwise all those Kidz Bop albums would never exist.

DeadAgainst liked a post in a topic by Elle in Radiohead Sues Lana for Copyright Infringement on "Get Free"
What she said about it tonight at the concert (more or less because I was typing as she was speaking and may have missed a few words here & there):
"You know, I didn't know if I was going to mention anything about today.... but, i think i will since it was a little bit in the news today. I just want to say that I do have a particular song that Radiohead wants 100% of my publishing for. And actually, the only reason why I mention it is because I wanted to let you know -- I know some of you have been sort of brought here by, you know, the people who really are fans and you're just sort of there and whatever -- but for the fans, I just want to let you know that, you know, regardless of what happens in court, the sentiment that I wrote in that particular song, which was my statement song for the record, my personal manifesto, my modern manifesto. I just want to let you know regardless if it gets taken down off of everything, that those sentiments that I wrote and that I really am still going to strive for them, even if that song is not on the future physical releases of the record. I mention that now because that song in particular as well as this other song I'm going to sing now - well, it's half of it because it's in a medley - but this other song called Change is another song that was an important songs to me. & um yeah, I just wanted to let you know that for the Kids for and the Not Kids, who are real fans that are here. So, that's probably the last thing I'll say about it, but thanks."

DeadAgainst liked a post in a topic by AngelHeadedHipster in LIFE IMITATING ART AKA HAUNTED BY LANA DEL REY
Did you all notice how Lana abruptly released "Coachella-Woodstock In My Mind" almost 1 week before the Manchester incident. It was extremely hauntingly prophetic.
CWIMM release date : 14 MAY 2017
MANCHESTER incident : 22 MAY 2017
The setting of this song is at a "Concert" where people are letting loose having a good time but Lana is aware of something evil brewing in the distance when she starts singing to God "Why shud these children suffer/lose their lives and what about their parent's eternal suffering at losing their children?"....It's like "Yo Man Upstairs How is this Fair?" / "How can you let Evil snatch the lives of these innocent kids who came to the concert to have a good time?!?"
This attack was the most sickest thing that could occur on this planet.I feel so bad for those kids who had attended that concert who will be permanently psychologically traumatized at even the thought of concerts. These wounds will take a long time to heal. Also I can't imagine how traumatized Ariana must be feeling.

Was just watching HEROIN lyric video on YouTube now and came across the lyric "MANSON'S IN THE AIR" and remembered that "CHARLES MANSON" died last month. (19 NOV 2017) How come he died this year only after this song came out?!? How does Lana predict deaths?? The Lana death curse is so fucking real. It's not even a joke at this point.
PS : I hope Manson burns in HELL for all eternity for the atrocities he committed.

DeadAgainst liked a post in a topic by IanadeIrey in Charles Manson found Dead at 83
I wonder if Lana has some sixth sense abilities. Think about; she’s mentioned Manson before but most recently was technically when the record came out, which was a few months ago, and now he’s gone.
It happened to Lou Reed when she was supposed to work with him on Brooklyn Baby.
It happened to David Bowie after she referenced both his brother for the name of the song and “ground control to major tom” in Terrence Loves You.
This one’s a bit of a reach, but in 2015, Lana referenced Purple Rain on the Honeymoon instagram account, and 10 months later, Prince died.
And now with Lana most recently referencing Manson in Heroin, he dies 4 months later.

4chan is a pile of shit; bunch of trolls, they try to be funny or something close to that.

And that's how he does. Harvey put the women he wants in a position (promote her, she makes more money, fame, etc) that looks like they [the women] owes something to him. That's how these rapists do when they're rich and powerful.
i hope you're right, but we all can pretend to smile :/

If they were openly having lunch in 2012, they probably already met each other before that, unfortunately. We all must remember that was Harvey Weinstein that suggested to put Lana in the 'Big Eyes' soundtrack.

same table at amFAR event, she was invited and went to the weinstein pre-oscar (how many times do we see her at an event?).. they have lots and lots of pictures together

I’m sure you’ve all seen th news about Harvey Weinstein being scum in the way he treats Hollywood actresses and celebrities. I saw a conspiracy theory on 4chan suggesting that Lana may have been involved, and that Cola alludes to her relationship with him; “Harvey’s in the sky with diamonds”
I know it’s super far fetched, but it’s interesting to consider.
