This was the first track that stood out to me when Lana released the clips on YouTube. I don't know if it will be my favorite of the album but the lyrics draw me in the most. Just so vague and creepy and beautiful and is it November 12th yet

I thought she was planning to tour most of the US starting in January? The website says Tour Dates coming soon. Cannot wait :---) I just really need to see her live and meet her cause it will probably be a longggg time before she does shows again especially with all this soundtrack stuff she is branching off into. And as we know, live shows are not her favorite thing to do.

I thought I heard ~Get your crystal meth fit on~

Let's be honest, next time she opens her closet to get a shirt, one of us will be in there all "hai gorl, here you go" :creepy:

Shit. I was hoping we'd be able to see the DOB.

Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate
Trying to tell me to wait but I can’t wait to see you
So I run like I'm mad to heaven’s door
I don’t wanna be bad, I won’t cheat you no more

Roses, Bel Air, take me there
I’ve been waiting to meet you
Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night
Darling, I’m waiting to greet you
Come to me, baby

Spotlight, bad baby
You've got a flair for the violentest kind of love anywhere out there
Mon amour, sweet child of mine, you’re divine
Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s okay to shine?

Roses, Bel Air, take me there
I’ve been waiting to meet you
Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night
Darling, I’m waiting to greet you
Come to me, baby

Don’t be afraid of me, don’t be ashamed
Walk in the way of my soft resurrection
Idol of roses, iconic soul
I know your name
Lead me to war with your brilliant direction

Roses, Bel Air, take me there
I’ve been waiting to meet you
Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night
Darling, I’m waiting to greet you
Come to me, baby

Roses, Bel Air, take me there
I’ve been waiting to meet you
Grenadine, sunshine, anything, son of mine
Darling I’m waiting to greet you
Come to me, baby

Influences "Your Mom" - interesting Lizzy.

I did a lot of digging today and finally managed to find a lot of interesting things that we didn't know about the May jailer- Lizzy Grant days from the old Myspace. It would be great if you guys appreciate this, it took forever to put together, haha. Most of this is information taken from pictures, they'll be at the end, and the picture containing whatever information will have the picture number next to it in parentheses except performance dates, there are way too many to put with pictures, ask if you need the pictures for the performance dates and I'll PM them. The pictures are out of order by date though. It's all between 2006 and 2010.

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.

Lana recently said at the Ride premiere when answering questions about possibly touring:
"When asked about touring plans Del Rey dismissed the idea, proposing instead she and her fans meet every Sunday by the boardwalk for a walk on the beach."
 
This makes me think she won't tour anytime soon, and possibly doesn't like it?

ITT: We share Lana related moments in your life that have been, happy, funny, profound, sad or whatever you like. Let's just share stories.
 
I'll start us off. I had a free house so invited a couple friends over for a few quiet drinks. We played cards for a bit while listening to music. I was a slightly tipsy and started gushing about Lana (you guys have done this... right?). Told them they had to listen to this live version of Video Games
everyone's watching in silence, completely absorbed by her. The chorus plays for the first time and I hum along quietly. Another friend stars singing softly and eventually we're all yelling the chorus at each other on the verge of drunken tears. It wasn't a big moment but I felt incredibly connected to everyone at the table and that was really nice for me. 
How about you?
