selena gomez is nr 32 
 
she looks like she's 12 years old 

Andrei is hot

Who Radio is about haunts me 
I do think it's about Jimmy though, in Radio she sings "how do you like me now?" a line she also used in Get Drunk, and in GD she sings "I am sleeping with your best friend" and I loosely remember reading something about there being a triangle drama between Lana, Jimmy and some other dude. (Arthur?)
 
It bothers me that in the HDB demo she sings "Ruby Tuesday's or Citco, I loved you then" and in Every Man Gets His Wish she sings "He found me waitressing at Ruby Tuesdays" and references a Chevy/Chevrolet in both but in This Is What Makes Us Girls she sings "Teachers said we'd never make it out alive" and back in EMGHS "You said I'd never make out outta here alive"
 
It's like she's doing it on purpose to confuse us 

and lana means wool, her middlename is woolridge, she's king of herself, or religious leader of herself

Before Sirens leaked I thought For K Part 2 was about David Kahne, as someone stated previously.
 
In that facebook-interview (the one where she says "I just thought it was so sad that like, I don’t know, God had found someone so perfect for me and that we really couldn’t be together") she talks about the person she had a relationship with that influenced BTD and she says "we were birds of a feather"
 
In a Lizzy Grant interview she says
"My producer, David Kahne, and me got along very well because he knew that I lived in my songs, and so he just tried to make them better. He asked me in a letter what I wanted the record to sound like, and I said, “I want it to sound famous, like a sad party.” He thought that was a wonderful idea, and we began working the next day. I like to think we’re birds of a feather."
 
It's probably nothing, she's just using the phrase to describe different people, but I did used to think that FKP2 was about their (professional) relationship, "Use that voice, sing that song , And tell me to come on, to come on, come on" but this doesn't really fit with For K (or anything else for that matter), still, it might interest some.
 
 
 
I used to think K was Elvis. She's said that she was obsessed with him as a teenager, K is for King, Elvis was The King.
Elvis' body guards were called the Memphis Mafia - gangsters (not literally), and in Gangsta Boy she sings "high school, loved you from the beginning". She's also said that when she saw Elvis for the first time she was blown away by his beauty. In Lucky Ones she sings "everybody told me love was blind, then I saw your face and you blew my mind".
In
interview (or it might be in part 2) the interviewer asks her if Million Dollar Man is about Elvis, and she says "maybe" and smiles. "One for the money, two for the show" is also a lyric in Blue Suede Shoes. When I googled it I found that the expression "one for the money..." is one used in horse racing, as in Off to the Races.And obviously Elvis fits the description in American "tall, tan/skin so golden brown" although it doesn't really makes sense that American would be about him since she namedrops him. Also, Elvis is from Mississippi (Raise Me Up). I thought that maybe, since a lot of people think she writes each song about more than one person, that she uses Elvis as a base-character and then writes autobiographically around that base... if that makes sense.
 
 
I'm sure Y&B is about Jimmy Gnecco (also Radio and Bel Air)
 
 
 
 
I just read this on wikipedia: "In Nabokov's 'Lolita', the name is used in reference to Mr Clare Quilty, the man who takes Lolita from Humbert. Carmen and Clare being both male and female names, Lolita uses them to deceive Humbert into thinking he is a woman and no threat."
I knew there was a song in Lolita called Carmen
 
 
and so I assumed that's where she got the name from. I'm not sure if it's relevant or not (God, imagine if every song she's ever written is just fan fiction about Lolita) but thought I'd share.
 
 
 
And this has been bothering me for a while, in the album booklet it says "Thank you to my devoted managers Ben Mawson and Ed Millett. And to A.G."
Who is A.G.?

"I am my only God"     
 
 
 

the assemblies of God seems like a v good possiblity! From the looks of it, it can be done on a larger scale, like a huge church service
 
Lizzy said she always goes on sundays to AG, assembly of God's calender - Prison Sundays /Mission Sundays and they also hold addiction groups, and maybe this is how she got involved w/ homeless outreach. there was one near soho that I found, on east broadway but I guess she was going in London..hmm

At first reading through them, it definitely sounds like she is referring to church, or some sort of spiritual group. But then towards the end it seems like she is talking about Arlene's Grocery?
 
A quick and unthorough google search containing " AG -the subject- and New York City-" provided nothing on Alcoholic outreach, Arlene's Grocery was the obvious, and there were quite a few things about "Assembly of God", churches in New York City.
 
Perhaps she was referring to both? AG church in her enlightened sounding statuses and comments, and Arlene's Grocery when talking accordingly?
 
Although, she could still possibly be referring to church when saying "all the cool kids are making the transition." Maybe she's talking about spiritual transition.
 
I suppose its not fair to rule out an AA-type organization though. Speaking of transition and whatnot.

Great find lola. This makes me think it probably was an AA group. 

I wouldn't read too much into the God talk though. That commenter was a frequent poster on her wall who talked about God a lot, but it seemed more her thing than Lizzy's. (She chided Lizzy's foul language several times.) If this was an alcoholics group, their interactions suggest she may have been Lizzy's sponsor or some type of accountability partner. Read this way, one or two might even suggest minor lapses in sobriety. By the way, this person was also a Ford model, so that's probably how they met. Not surprisingly, Bob Leone also hit on her on Lizzy's wall.  

Pretty sure "oba di" is just a misspelled reference to the Beatles' "Ob La Di". 

Yeah, this is the one that's most problematic for the AA theory. Perhaps Lizzy used to chair an AA group in Soho?

"Thata girl, Lizzy. "If He is sought.."
 
Source: Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book Online, Chapter 5 (http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline/en_bigbook_chapt5.pdf)
 
"He who wants a meeting of life and power should remember that there is no substitute for the Holy Ghost. He is life. He is power. And if He is sought in earnest, faithful prayer, He will come, and when He comes the little meeting will be mighty in its results." Source: http://www.worldinvisible.com/library/brengle/5f00.0056/5f00.0056.09.htm
 
that phrase is definitely about seeking god through prayer to be helped. i think ag definitely has something to do with god even if it's not alcoholics anonymous. maybe it's about finding god

"u are a gift! What a nice surprise to see you walk up tonight. You seem like you are in a good space these days."

sounds like ag is a group from nyc. maybe it's a sub group of aa that originated in nyc? she went to an aa meeting and met ag girls?

this is frustrating, all kinds of shit comes up when googling ag

This question was asked in the Lanalysis thread, but I think discussion about it belongs here, since I believe the question should be what is A.G., not who. In addition to her album credits, she mentioned it a lot on Facebook. Sometimes it almost sounds like a club or music venue (AG = Arlene's Grocery?), other times more like a support group or religious organization (AG = Alcoholics Group or Assembly of God?). Screencaps in the spoiler: 
 
Any theories?

Who is A.G.?

she talks about being the 'bad girl that knows better', having a chameleon soul, no fixed personality, etc and i think its all true. i remember reading an article about her where the interviewer describes her as being 'coltishly innocent' with a 'vampish sense of knowingness'. i think that's a pretty accurate description of her lyrics, her imagery, and her personality. its probably also why people are so quick to assume that she's inauthentic, or putting on some sort of an act -- she seems to be a bit of a walking contradiction. personally, i think lizzy grant was more 'coltish and innocent' while lana del rey is more 'vampish and knowing'. elizabeth (herself) is probably a combination of those things and more. 
 
i think her beauty and her broadly overactive mind have come to shape her the most. she seems highly sensitive and intuitive to people's energies, her surroundings, and her own thoughts. since she tends to remain quiet (or ~ contemplative), perhaps even stoic or detached, people have thus come to perceive her as being stuck up, arrogant, possibly even vapid, if not worse. maybe these reactions have pushed her into her own shell, or left her quite cynical? i think a large part of her insecurities come down to the misperceptions (and passive aggressions) that have probably followed her throughout life. the anxiety of first impressions must be monumental for her. ultimately, i think she loves being beautiful, but its probably an often bittersweet kind of thing. i think she's been able to see the darker depths of human nature as a result. i think she feels a bit defensive about her looks; part of her may even resent what it does to those around her. but paradoxically, i think she needs to feel beautiful. 
 
i think she's a sweet person. i think she cares deeply about others' happiness, despite potentially being a bit aloof? i mean, i remember reading david kahne write that she was always riding the subway late at night by herself. so her being ~weird~ and aloof may be due to a self reflective nature. i also think she's a bit of a narcissist (which unfortunately, seems to be correlated with introversion). this comes back to her dual personality: she often seems insecure, awkward, and nervous. yet she knows that she's beautiful. she knows that she's smart, and she knows that she's talented. i guess it might be hard to attain a sense of self-security when you've got no fixed personality. but she seems happier and more confident now? i think she's come to feel validation (for her talents, and artistic intuitions) -- and its completely warranted. i think she's happy because people are starting to see how great she is, and now she can work on any kind of project that pops up in her mind without worrying about how it'll be received. i mean, after pussy cola, she can kind of do whatever the fuck she wants right? 
 
i dunno what else to say at the moment. a lot of what i feel that i know about her may just be random, abstract comprehensions mixed with vague projections. i guess she seems rather complicated. or simple, maybe? i dunno. but despite everything, i like to think she's as real as they come in this particular industry. 
 
also, if any of you are into jungian typology, i'm fairly certain that she's an INFP

Elizabeth is the warm 14 year old girl who was shipped away to boarding school where she coped with this with her first love (alcohol) and created May Jailer to possibly cope or overcome her addiction, eventually she becomes Lizzy, a sweet girl who lives in a trailer park (who might've been a go go dancing drug addict). Lizzy then evovles into Lana, a sultry woman who seeks freedom, fame and a independence. Lana seems to be lost within herself and NEEDS a home that she hasn't had (since she was shipped away to boarding school at 14). I understand what Elizabeth means when she says she has lived a full life, the last 13 years of her life have been tough and she has grown possibly a lot more than most people would in their entire life.

I can't imagine her changing that much, but the exterior is certainly part of a character--she even admitted to it, with some reply on twitter that I can't find that says something like "at least I created it". The more exposure she gets, the more I think she's opening up. The Ride video personally gave me a lot of insight. Most of her actions so far seem to be driven by equal parts of mental vulnerability (depression, addiction), love, and ambition.

.-- 

i think lana del rey, lizzy grant etc. are all personae. lizzy grant may be her real name but she was still creating an image for that name. i think that's why she changed her name, she wanted to start from scratch and created ~*~lana del rey~*~. it's like a work of art to her, creating an image. i'm sure she's spent tons of time in front of the mirror practising her pout and the other poses she does, shes not really that good at staying in character (here for example:
) though. i'm also sure she practises the answers she gives in interviews, the stuff about "making her life a work of art" and stuff like that.
 
lots of people do it, kurt cobain practised the way he'd shrug his shoulders in interviews and he rehearsed answers he'd give in interviews. he cared a lot about people not thinking he cared. he'd complain about "smells like teen spirit" being played too much but would complain to his management when he thought it wasn't being played enough etc. etc.
 
they just want(ed) to make sure that people see them the way they want them to see them.

she seems so basic
