Neptune-Avenue

i was having the same thought. because it shows the "outtakes" during the other songs and not west coast makes me feel like shes going for a mini tropico or something 

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.

This is what I got:
 
Hawaiian Tropic Dark, And a bottle of jack, In the Cadillac as I drive, Down the highway.   You aren't coming back, And I know that now, So I let the wind hit me, In my face.   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish.   Your red hawaiian shirt, And your hair jet black, Hangin' round with your, Friends by the track.   Baby, you can't come back, From bein' that bad, Just to sit at home, Pledge allegiance to the flag.   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish, You told me this, Now you're gone.   Copacabana, yes, In my party dress, I'm shimmering in love On that crystal meth.   A coca cola kid, Rollercoaster child, My everything, give me, That babydoll smile.   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish, You told me this Where is mine?   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish, You told me this, Were you lyin'?   And the Velvet Elvis, And the rosaries, And your white Corvette, Under willow trees, You the one for me, My one true king.   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish, You told me this, Now you're gone.   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish, You told me this, Now you're gone.   I remember, (Every man gets his wish), Party dresses. (Every man gets his wish), I remember, (Every man gets his wish), Party dresses. (Now you're gone).   Every man gets his wish, Every man gets his wish, But sometimes it comes too late.

Would you guys (not talking to you directly even though I quoted you) rather it be $24.09? Single songs on iTunes cost $2.19 and that times eleven equals twenty-four dollars and nine cents. So we are really getting a discount.
And if it is seven dollars more for three more songs, that means a single song off the deluxe edition would be two dollars and thirty-three cents. That's only a little more expensive than the iTunes price. You're only paying forty-two cents more than you would for purchasing the deluxe songs separately on iTunes. If you guys don't want to pay it, then just wait until you can pre-order it on iTunes and download it digitally and make your own CD. You guys were dissing the cover in the first place anyway...

Betty Boop Boop is next-level as fuck and ain't none of y'all who can tell me no different.
 
(it's honestly in like my top five and i'm not even slightly sorry)

So in the credits in Ride, it lists "Diamond Dave" as first assistant director, and I was wondering if that's the same Diamond Dave that Lana's talking about in Mermaid Motel.

No ambiguity.

btw. notice how he's just about to say something about it then gets interrupted. he's like "and the footage is s--" 

"We were just in New York for Lady Gaga--"
"Amazing"
"It was--"
"That's so great"
*So Legit plays softly*

Did she say, she was meeting her friend Gene ?   Isn't this Mr. Campbells first name ?
 

Omg interviewer: "We were just in New York for Lady Gaga"
 
Lana: "Amazing" you lying bitch

French, those were french lyrics in Carmen. I don't want to sound like a snob or anything, but...yeah, they were french.  
:derpna: :derpna3:

Lana said a lot of the songs remind her of Gods & Monsters.

It depends, overseas pre-orders can be shipped 1-2 weeks earlier than the actual release date, and in that case the album can leak real soon, like by June 5 even. I don't know...I hope it won't leak too soon in advance, I mean the 13th is not that far away, and Lana has got her share of leaks already. If somethingleaks, it should be the outtakes and unused material .(There must be like 20 songs which didn't make the album )

And the remix will once again be the only popularity Lana gets.

Hope one of the songs has the sound of Velvet Crowbar. One of her best unreleased for sure.
 
Some kinda rocky, upbeat but angry vibe like that! So amazing.
 
it even fits the idea of Ultraviolence; it coulda been on there! Haha

BOUNDDD OFF DA STAIRS
 
I AM IN DA SHOWEEERR

I always thought we were called Lanatics. But maybe that was just me... :oopna:


And if she did write and record most of this album before Dan intercepted it, and we do get demos, it would be like getting double the songs or like two versions of the album like a B side. One of my favorite bands, the Bravery did this with their album, The Sun and The Moon. One cd, The Sun was a more chill stripped down version of all the songs and the other cd, the Moon was similar sounding to their last album. Here is a link to listen to the songs and how different they sounded. The Ocean in particular is extremely contrasting. Beautiful and so well done. I wish Lana would've done the same with UV. I want the demos so badly!
Especially seeing the difference in how the radio version of WC was to the original... sonically I mean I get a strong Wicked Game vibe from the radio version and Dan's version sounds like something the XX would do or similar.

To me, it's like listening to two different sounding songs. The radio version sounds like how I imagined her organically transitioning from BTD. The way Dan interpreted it expands on Lana's sound and helps her music age with her. It's kind of awesome and I'm so excited to hear demos! I only wish she would release them too, like the Bravery did.

And trailer parks and beaches? And Marilyn and Jesus?

finally a decent interview, after that 3 question mess yesterday! but omg they asked her about the sparkle jump rope queen nickname
