i wonder if the west coast saying will be "live by the gun, die by the gun" (a tupac reference). just in case it is i wanna be the one that called it 

HE DIRECTED SWEET NOTHING AND LOVER TO LOVER?!?!?!
 
Alright this video is going to be amazing. Both are very gritty, have an indie feel to them, and emotionally powerful. Exactly what I would like to see from Lana. Especially since in both of his videos with Florence, he worked well with getting her to actually act and show a character and storyline. Lana could use some direction in sense tbh.

yoann lemoine has directed all the bradley videos and he instagrammed 6 hours ago "ready for some action" so i hope that's the case. not here for mandler tbh

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 

So maybe she and Jimmy never had a relationship but he knew she liked him but he mainly wanted to support her music so that's why she facebooked him Yayo? Because obviously You're Gonna Love Me is partially about him, "Jim, I'mma dedicate this whole album to you/You told me to get my way, that's exactly what I'm gonna do" - he told her to do her own thing and maybe Yayo was the start of the AKA era, so she sent it to him because she wanted to show him that he had a positive effect on her career.
 
 
I still think Radio is about Jimmy though, when she talked about it she was also talking about people "coming out of the woodworks", so maybe what she meant with him coming back was that he changed his mind, which brings me to Gods & Monsters. She's obviously written a lot of songs about their imaginary relationship and now he's interested in her because life imitates art. It also fit with her stalking admiring him from afar, "a groupie incognito posing as a real singer" and "If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby?". She literally made herself prettier (lips and so on).

Feel free to let me know if something looks wrong and/or is missing and I'll try to fix it ASAP! Will update it as time goes on~
 
Here's a world map for all her shows around the world! (Please note that this map does NOT include the early section venues and locations. That map can be accessed here).
 
Enjoy!
 
EDIT: I had to unfortunately eliminate the TV and Radio performances because I think it exceeded the maximum capacity for a table. I might post them elsewhere if anybody's interested though!

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.

Electra Complex "is a child’s psychosexual competition with his/her mother for possession of his/her father."
 
 

I hate this thread with all my soul, but i read it 27 times a day xoxo

I think everyone is going so crazy cos for ONCE.. a Lana project is kept under wraps... no registered titles, no accidental leaks.. like we really don't know which is what makes it so intriguing and so prone to rumors/false info spreading. I'm glad Lana's team seems to have figured it out now, I like being surprised

@@SitarHero maybe you've seen this already but not updated the OP but i'm posting it here just in case

In Twin Peaks Dale Cooper says "Windom Earle's mind is like a diamond. It's cold, and hard, and brilliant."
 
She also quotes Officer Brown in Backfire “Kids, come out. Ain’t no way to live, let me show you how.” 

I just assumed that Dan Auberbach was like... the supervising or main producer? Like that he kind of directed the production and made sure that it had a uniformed and consistent sound so the album isn't a collection of 12 songs that don't belong together (like how you wouldn't put There's Nothing To Be Sorry About together with Go Go Dancer because it would give the album an unbalanced finish). Sort of like the role I assumed Haynie had on Born To Die to make it sound like one cohesive piece of work rather than 12 pieces combined. I mean idk I'm really just talking out of my ass right now 

Dan Auerbach looks like he could be Stephen Merchant's hotter brother 

Lana lived in the Manhattan Trailer Court mobile park on Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, New Jersey- where there is Tonnelle station- you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights. I bet she saw the lights of the train from her window, and heard the loud noises of the train and the trailer park, dreaming of Jimmy to take her away :')  This belongs in Lanalysis maybe but I'm having FEELINGS okay. Like in the beginning she's being playful, Let me put on a show~ Let me sing for you, she's in love, she's been playing shows, still optimistic about her future.. and then it gets dark, the song wanes .. Let me put on a show~ she's (gogo?) dancing now, she's at a dark point in her career, not seeing any progression after making videos all day and music nonstop. Or maybe she realizes that the love is lost and he's not ever coming to get her. It kind of reminds me of when she sang "End of the World" by Skeeter Davis, how sad she got just singing it.   And the tune is similar.. I wonder if she listened to it a lot while writing Yayo.
 
 
It's a song that is reflective of her past but also speaks of her life at the time, imo.  When they were living in California, it took 2 hours to Nevada, it was a happy time, the world seemed new, etc. And now she wants him to take her out of the dark trailer park life because she misses that.  I think she was the one using then, obviously cocaine, and it was fucking w/ her dreams~  thinking of happier times with this guy or the life she wished she could live. 
 
And they are tearing that trailer park down in 2014
