Well you selected the correct emote

1. Tennis Court
2. Bravado
3. Biting Down
4. Royals
5. The Love Club
6. Swingin' Party

I like Biting Down because in my mind it's about biting someone when blowing them

And I had no idea her name was pronounced as "Lord", I thought it was "Lord-ee"

I love this thread and for fun's sake I always try to take her songs at face value while reading all the interpretations, but personally I think a lot (if not most) of what she writes about didn't actually happen. Yeah, I know she says all her songs are 100% auto-biographical and all that, but Lana's often the epitome of evasiveness and contradiction, so...
 
I think her songs are a mix of facts (stuff that happened to her and people she knows) + her imagination (things she wishes had happened, an exaggeration / dramatization of what actually happened, inspiration taken from films, songs, books, the lives of famous people...), so I'd have no trouble believing something like this.
 
But anyway, back to 'Lanalysis' mindset.

she seems so basic 

Lemme explain the two fingers to the sky bit. It is, as you said, a way of showing her love of God. She puts her fingers up when singing "is it by mistake or design" - design obviously referring to God. Catholics cross themselves (when they sign a cross on their chest; it's a type of prayer) and some of them either use two fingers upwards (like Lana) or the first three fingers brought to a point (symbolizing the Trinity). When you do this prayer you say "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" moving your hand to your forehead (symbolizing the Father), your stomach (the Son), your left shoulder (the Holy) and finally your right shoulder (Spirit). Then you put your hands together and say Amen.
 
So basically, when she has her hand upwards she is signing "the Father" and while she does it singing "design" she's basically saying "the design of our Father".
 
 
She also does this sign when singing Without You live at the "I even think I found God"-part.

omg i was mentioned in a post. fame liquor love give it to me slowly 
 
but really i wouldn't call myself a stan because i'm so basic and i only have one album    i only started listening to them like 6 months ago when i was slayed by love of my life. the album i have is a night at the opera and my second favorite song is seaside rendezvous.
i feel like dancing in the rain, can i have a volunteer 
you say you'd have to tell your daddy if you can, i'll be your valentino 
 
but back to love of my life, i listen to this song everyday and it makes me cry and i lie in bed at night and listen to it and cry, like oh my god it's so beautiful. it's clearly a special song since it has the ability to crush my emotionless heart and make tears fall from these dried up eyes 
 
 
i've avoided queen for a really long time because when i was like eight years old i heard bohemian rhapsody and it had never occured to me that not all lyrics are autobiographical so i thought that he'd actually killed a man and i was like "i will not support a murderer"

:legend: :legend: Let's discuss this ICONIC, LEGENDARY band :legend: :legend:

Fave songs?
Fave albums?
Fave performances?
Fave band members?
Fave documentaries?

It's IMPOSSIBLE to not like at least one Queen song. Queen is fucking phenomenal and you will deal and post about how awesome they are, okay?

Where my Queen stans at? @@fruitpunchlips @ @@PrettyBaby @

Tattooed Television Dealer

Did you already heard a drunk woman sing? I've seen some specimens in Paris and none of them sounded like that I can tell you She looks very nervous in most of her 2011/early 2012 interviews. In this 2011 (french) interview it's very apparent, here's some quickly translated quotes:
 
"They (her lips) speak without being pressed, seek their words, do many “hum”, “you know”, “it was like” and others “I mean, hum...”"
"She has also thin fingers extended by nails painted in red, of which she rubs her face in a compulsive way when she speaks."
"We are in front of a small woman not reassured who, throughout the interview, tries to control her words, not to say too much, even if it means drowning certain answers in sentences like : 'I have the responsibility to be a good person in my life, because it should be the most important in everyone's life.'"

I don't think she's high, it seems like she's just very nervous. Especially in the Q Awards interview she seems absolutely terrified, like the way she inhales when being asked about her background and looking down on the floor and blinking a lot. She's a deer in the headlights, basically

so you noticed that i tried to scam you with the fruit punch/27       i guess this means i'll never make it as a drug dealer

i literally thought this would be a topic where we all could write in cockney rhyming slang 

i think this is basically how it goes: 
 

 
**how should i fuck with the social media next** ------ "i think i'll get some tassles for my tits and strip on día de los muertos, before i fly off into my afterlife with the black albino figure of christ. oh, and i should start eating more chocolate cake. cause that'll -really- get them talkin'"
 
the fact that some of these elements seem a bit discordant is why i'm so fucking intrigued by this. i think she likes to spark controversy but every aspect of the production is probably controlled (or at the very least, influenced) by her creative direction. so i mean, it already seems like its gonna be really divisive but that's pretty much her in a nutshell, and i think it always will be. she's always going to keep it interesting, but not everyone can like what you do all the time when you're constantly being inventive with your work 

I'm absolutely obsessed with cars, they're my passion. This thread is to catalogue the cars Lana mentions or uses in songs and videos.
 
Cars in songs: 
 
Shades Of Cool - "He Lives In California Too, He Drives A Chevy Malibu"
Lana's referring to the bread and butter midsize sedan, the backbone of the Chevy lineup

 
You Can Be The Boss - "He has a white corvette like I wanted"
My guess is that the car she is referring to is an Olympic White Corvette, probably a C1, C2 or C3

 
Hundred Dollar Bill - "Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova"
The Blue she is referring to is most likely Danube Blue, or Mist Blue. Probably the 2nd Generation model as it's the most collectible.

 
National Anthem - "Take me to the Hamptons, Bugatti Veyron"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know she is definitely talking about the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. there have been quite a few different special editions made.

 
Back To The Basics - "Sit Back In My Pink Cadillac"
I'm assuming the Pink Cadillac would be a reference to Elvis's car which was a 1955 Fleetwood Series 60. 

 
This Is What Makes Us Girls - "Stealin' Police cars with the senior guys"
When Lana was 16 three police interceptors would have been common, the Dodge Intrepid, The Chevrolet Impala, and The Ford Crown Victoria



 
 
Golden Grille - "Drivin' in your Escalade"
We all probably know the behemoth Cadillac SUV piloted by rappers, drug dealers and soccer moms everywhere, It's been through 3 generations now. Golden Grille was from 2009 and by then it had entered it's 3rd iteration but as the song is obviously written about an earlier time, and the Escalade in production today was released in 2007, It's very likely a second gen model she's singing about. The first gen was largely playing catch up to the Lincoln Navigator and didn't get to enjoy the sales of it's successors as it was only built for 2 years.

 
Jump - "Cadillac convertible"
Eldorado? DeVille? Allante? XLR? Series 62? it's anyone's guess. It's very likely that it's a 1959 Series 62.
 
On Our Way - "Kiss me in your Chevrolet"
Another mystery car, It's clearly a convertible as well. Corvette? Nova? Corvair? Bel Air? Impala? Camaro? Blazer? Caprice? There are quite a few possibilities, I like to think it's a Corvair.
 
White Pontiac Heaven / Axel Rose Husband - Well, she says it in the title...
Again, this could be pretty much any white Pontiac. She does seem especially fond of the Fiero though.
 
1949 - "We in the Pontiac from July to July"
Same story as WPH and ARH it really could be any pontiac. 
 
 
Every Man Gets His Wish- "We in the Chevrolet from July to July"
Just like 1949, WPH, and ARH it really could be any Chevrolet.
 
Driving In Cars With Boys - "Momma's Mercedes or Billy's Pickup Truck"
Who knows what kind of truck she's referring to. Anyone know if her mother drove a Mercedes?
 
Heavy Hitter - "Open up that Lamborghini"
Once again, this could be any number of Lambos, the Miura, Gallardo, Espada, Countach, Murcielago etc.
 
Hit & Run - "Pick me up in your white Lamborghini"
Just like HH there are quite a few possibilities for this one
 
Playing Dangerous - "Let's get in the back of your cop car officer"
Well she doesn't even give us an era for this one, there's no way of knowing what kind of PPV she's talking about.
 
Come When You Call Me - "White Lincoln Continental"
The Continental nameplate has been used by Ford for their Lincoln brand for 9 generations before it was cancelled, it could be any of these, but I think it's worth noting that she used a white Mark V Continental in the new music video (see photos below)
 
Hawaiian Tropic - "A bottle of Jack in the Cadillac" "White Corvette under willow trees"
This is the only time she mentions the Cadillac in this song so we have nothing to go on as far as the exact model. It could really be any Cadillac prior to the 2009 Model Year.
The Corvette she mentions is most likely the same one she refers to in You Can Be The Boss
 
Heartshaped Chevrolet - "kiss me in your Chevrolet"
As the Chevrolet line is the same as in On Our Way it's pretty obvious that the chevrolet she's referring to is the same Chevy Convertible
 
Hot Hot Hot - "Black tint glass on your cherry red car"
Who knows? It could really be any red car...
 
Big Bad Wolf - "Escaping in your cherry red car"
Same as above.
 
*I have recieved a tip that one of the aforementioned Chevrolets is from the 1967 Model Year*
 
 
Cars In Music Videos:
 
Born To Die - It appears to be a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that the couple crashes.

 
Summertime Sadness - Lana's own 1981 Mercedes-Benz SL is used.

 
Ride - A 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is driven by the guy who picks her up.
 

(The car in the Photo is a Sedan DeVille, Just Imagine it without the rear doors)
 
National Anthem - A 1956 Ford Thunderbird and a 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible are used, similar to the ones owned by the Kennedy family, as well as a 1950-53 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible.
 



 
Blue Jeans (Original) - There is a clip of what appears to be the bonnet of a Jaguar XK 140

Lana Is also shown in a truck in this video. It's a 1955 Chevrolet Apache/Task Force. the grill, bumper and headlight bezels have been painted white. the same truck can be seen in at least one other photo shoot. This particular truck can also be seen on the cover of Born To Die

 
Burning Desire - Obviously a Jaguar F-Type

 
Several AKA Era Videos -  I have noticed more than one Pontiac Fiero in the original Lizzy Grant clips that have leaked. Clearly Lana has a thing for this car. 

 
Diet Mtn Dew 2 - The Ford Del Rey is used. This is where she got the Del Rey script with the three circles. Don't run to the dealer lots just yet, the Del Rey was only available in South America.

 
Tropico - Lana is seen in a Spring Green, fender-skirted 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air Rat Rod (Potential clue to the song?). In typical rat rod fashion, the car is missing most of its stainless and chrome trim as well as the actual convertible top and frame. the Chrome grill has been painted and the car features a continental kit. She is also seen with a white Lincoln Mark V. 




 
Shades Of Cool - You'd expect Lana to use a Chevy Malibu, since it's what she ints about in the song, but instead her tattoo artist friend pilots a 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible.

At one point a 2006 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi makes a came appearance over Lana's shoulder. It's given away by the SAAB signature hockey stick shaped C Pillar and the tiered tail lights 


 
Cars Lana Owns:
 
1981 Mercedes Benz 380SL
As seen in the Summertime Sadness video, Lana has a gold SL class 

 
Jaguar XK
Lana did the whole horse and pony show on the hood of Jaguar's new little roadster, the F-Type, but she actually owns it's big brother the XK. The XK is considerably larger and more powerful than the F-Type, they actually share the same platform though (The F-Type's was shortened). Lana's XK is in Ultimate Black Metallic.

 
Jaguar XJ
This one is important for those of us who don't like in California because the XJ is Lana's preferred mode of transportation. No doubt she owns her own and is seen driving it frequently (All I could find of her driving it were interior shots), but in other places she is almost always driven in one, so If you're at one of her shows and you see an XJ pull up, chances are it's her. Rob Grant also owns one as well. It's Jaguar's full size flagship. Lana appears to have the SWB model. Here's the best photo I was able to find on short notice of Lana with an XJ. You can identify it by its signature teardrop shaped DLO and the Alutian alloy wheels. 

I'm sure I missed some, let me know if you have any more information to add or if you know the ones I missed. 
We're still waiting to see what new leaks will bring to the table, I guess only time will tell.

After Tropico is released, I feel like the GP will start saying "~SELL OUT~", "a poor attempt to be sexy", "done only to be provocative" etc, because there is such a huge disconnect between her relatively constant media image (think when she first started out, Hollywood glam, 50s/60s-inspired, etc) and the images we see of her chola-esque and as a stripper. It's a huge, confusing leap to those that don't own every last one of her leaked songs and don't Lanalyze the shit out of her songs/interviews/music videos. The images, while a bit of a surprise to us, aren't out of the blue because we fans see them as a return to the sort of sordid life she depicts in her unreleased/unacknowledged discography. These looks will appear horribly contrived and to be an overt attempt to "stir up buzz" or whatever to everyone else. ~Remember, she's just a rich girl who's father funded her career and a total industry construct and this too is probably another ploy~. I think what I'm trying to say is that I think there's going to be even more media-backlash than expected.

I thought she meant a computer too. I was going to say I was a minority because I was a Mac.
