also considering she made this decision to use Paradise songs instead of new ones for Tropico, the ideas of the film might have changed drastically either during the filming/conceptualization but also a lot could have been edited out during post-production to fit the Paradise songs more

Idk but that writing doesn't look like Money & Power and Axl Rose.

Also -
 
Those pics are from January 2013, she wrote and recorded both Cherry Blossom and NotG in May 2013.

Well "Jesus" on that notepad is likely "I Talk To Jesus" or not?

the notebook picture is from january 2013 and production on the film didnt start until summer 2013, at one point the film and the album were going to go together but the music wasnt ready so lana decided to sit on the music metaphorically for a while and now we have ultraviolence
 
at one point I Talk to Jesus was going to be on the Tropico EP but was left out for unknown reasons

If the LDR Album Process Discussion thread is too long for you:

In January 2013 Lana was photographed with Rick Nowels while recording songs for her sophomore album. Her notebook had a list of songs on the side of it with an underlined working title, "Tropico" at the top. During an interview in November 2012 she mentioned that Cola would be the second single from Paradise and that she really hopes to release short films for Gods & Monsters and Bel Air.
 
What's weird is, that the visualizer for Bel Air released in November 2012 had this in the description: "i lost my reputation, i forgot my truth. But i have my beauty and i have my youth. Tropico the film, coming next year."
 
That leads us to conclude that TROPICO was really just a placeholder name for the then unnamed project but it might be linked conceptually to the stuff she was recording at that time, knowing how Tropico had strong biblical and spiritual imagery.
 
This is the track list:
 
Tropico
Old Money
Black Beauty
Guns & Roses
Lake Placid
Summertime
Melancholia
Jesus
Pink Champagne
Elvis
Earthquakes
?
Axl Rose
?
 
 

My Tropico could mean anything

honestly i gave up on it 
Currently I have a single "Unreleased" album with 250+ songs and a "Demos" album for each of her albums. But I only add demos for songs that were released on the "Demos" album. The rest goes on the big "Unreleased" album because it's to much work trying figuring something out.

i still have some playlists with the covers user trash magic made

Life is so much better when you create fake albums that you think are perfect and fill your library with mixtapes  

I have an unreleased album that goes in order by year and then a demos album that goes in order by era/album. I do have a bunch of playlists though that function as albums for certain eras of unreleased and demo tracks

I'm a slave to Last.fm organization so I just put everything in a single "Unreleased" category and just write in the correct metadata since it's pretty easy to tell a songs era with Lana
Then I have separate folders for demos which I put in a '[album]: demos' category

everything is all in the same folder over here so I can't help

I've been sorting unreleased Lana in my music library by year for forever now but that has become kinda messy with some songs' years being uncertain and songs recorded in the same year being intended for different albums. To avoid messyness I started merging some albums (like 2014 and 2015) but then I got songs intended for Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and Lust for Life in the same album and that's just kinda weird tbh. Even sorting songs by album sessions would be a mess cause then you got her 2008-2010 unreleased where she was just recording 5932 songs a week with random people for whatever reason. Things used to be much simpler when nothing beyond the untouchable 5 leaked tbh! Anyways, how do y'all sort her unreleased music?
