    I have a theory that she writes every song (or at least some of them) about two different people. That would explain why nothing seems to fit together. Also, in Without You she sings "But burned into my brain all these stolen images / Can you picture it? Babe, that life we could've lived"
     
    So I believe she's always singing about the life she wished she could've had with K but through the relationships she's having with other men.
     
    Another theory I have is that she dated K before she went to boarding school, when she was around the age of 12. That would make the Lolita-references more logical (Lolita was about 12, or so I recall). Then when she was 14/15 he went to prison, she was sent to boarding school and at around 17/18 he was sentenced to death (For K Part 1). Then at 18 he died and she went to rehab, maybe after having a relapse and trying to kill herself?
    In BTD she sings:
    "Feet don't fail me now / Take me to the finish line / Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take / But I'm hoping at the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine"
    And in Dark Paradise "But I wish I was dead / Dead like you"
    To me it sounds like she wants to join him in heaven which she also seem to sing about in Burning Desire:
    "Drive fast, flash, everyone knows it,
    I'm trying to get to you baby,
    I'm feeling scared and you know it"
     
     
     
     
    Hopefully all of that made some sense because I'm still confused
     
     
     
     
     
    Also, I believe the guy that Radio is about might be the same guy she talks about in this interview.
    She says she's staying with her ex in Williamsburg, so... does anyone know who that might be? It might not be the same guy Radio is about because the interview was in February, so again, the time line doesn't match up.
     
    I'm also pretty sure Ride is about Barrie.

    I hope she'll either re-release Red or release an EP towards the end of the year. Apparently she did a lot of collaborations that didn't make it onto this record and I need some new stuff from her 'cause I'm already bored with this one

    I just realised... when she sings Bill, maybe she means bill as in money? Hundred Dollar Bill, for example. It's a bit of a stretch but it might be worth sharing.
     
    Edit: Read through this comment again and I think I've worded myself in a weird way. I mean that for example in Trash Magic when she sings "Yes Bill, I will", Bill is not a person, it's money, so she's really saying "Yes, for money, I will".

    In the demo version (the one with alternate lyrics) I hear "can you picture this, Kahny/Conny, can you picture this?" I definetely hear a K/hard C-sound, I really don't hear honey.

    remember when Ride came out and on pretty much every lyric site it said "I look up to hear myself saying, baby, too much strive, I just ride"  
     
     
    in diet mountain dew I was convinced she was singing "baby stopping at ~some posh french name~ (something like shumura l'evin), baring his work in new york, heaven" and I had this image of her and her painter-boyfriend driving to an art exhibition were he was showing his paintings
     
    which fit with what I misheard in Blue Jeans which was "love you more, than those pictures before" because she was like "I don't love you because you're an artist, I love you because you're you~". For such a long time I thought all her songs was about a boyfriend who was a failed painter ("well shit at least you tried") who turned to selling drugs

    Last night I went through murderpedia looking for a male who had murdered two people on a Monday or a Sunday between 1985 to 2006 in either Florida, New York or Connecticut (I might've checked California too, I can't remember) and I did find one person who eerily fit the description (he even had connections to music) and did get sentenced to death but he didn't confess to the murder and he wasn't sentenced until 2007 and I was so disappointed    I also found another candidate who had previously been a model which fit with Lana's ~i saw your face and you blew my mind~ attitude

    This is probably nothing but I was thinking about it last night; in Butterflies pt 2 she sings "He puts on “Lola” by The Kinks and he dances ‘round" and if you listen to Lola the hook in the song is "la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola" which sort of reminds me of the "ah-ah-ah-ah..." bit in Dark Paradise. They don't sound the same but there is something similar to it (which might just be me really wanting them to be similar), and before that part she sings "I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song.... ah-ah... that's how you sang it", and that she says "that's how you sang it" insinuates that he sang it differently from the actual version.

    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.?
