This thread makes Lana look like a terrible songwriter. 

live fast die young
me, james dean

She denied those rumors when asked about in an interview, but we all know what really happened
 
 
 

I'm going to let you all enjoy this as the innocent teenage love song it appears to be for about a day before I completely ruin it with some Lanalysis.

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.” 

"turning diamonds into snow" ok she even makes the idea of cookin crack sound pretty lmao

she managed to get yayo in some form onto every album so far lmaooooo

Off To The Races obvs

I made a LinkedIn profile, not exactly pretending to be lana, but using some of her details and Van Wilson viewed the profile lol

I really love this thread. It's really inspirational and helps me with ideas for my own writing (fiction novels)
sometimes i just sit here and read all of it. though this is all speculation i really appreciaite this world lana has created for us.
 
Side note (completley off topic) I know her look may be manufatured but when people say  EVERYTHING about her is manufactured it really irks me. Despite the big orcherstras and all the cinematics lana's lyrics haven't really changed lyrically and she still tells the same stories..
 
I LOVE U ALL

I think Lana let's her imagination flow a lot Sitar. She is the one that likes mafia style a Dangerous girl. She said in a interview herself that the American Dream is dead. That the mafia and politics and everything is mixed up to the point that is a new american dream. I think he probably was a paper boy, a guy who sold drugs around the area he lived.  For some reason something went wrong for him. Can happen. In the moment you start selling them you gonna be out with several cuckoo's nest people around you. He didn't necessarily need to be in the mafia or a real drug dealer to get cought up in the game. I think that he probably did some drugs but was not an addicted. I also think he wasn't  old he was just a couple years older than her. In Gangsta Boy and some other songs you can see a connection that she probably knew him since her teens. I also think Lana writes a lot about other people stories, she mix those stories in her songs. People she end meeting among her life. I take everything Lana says with a bit of salt but she said that she ends up writing about the same guy and that her songs are about people in her life. You are a writer yourself do you think is possible not to write about other people experiences as well? Specially someone like her that end up in rehab. During her time there she probably got close to many people, hear their stories and some probably didn't have pretty stories to tell. The way she talks about the place she went doesn't seem like those fantasy places celebrities go to that look more like spas. Seems to be a real Rehab with people from the real world that end up there for reasons that are not really funny fairy tales. I think Lana writes a lot about herself but I also think she writes about her own time, her generation, like an outsider looking what is happening around her. After all Jimmy, Reeve and Barrie look far away from being a gangstar don't they? I also think she writes a lot about alcohol, her love for alcohol and the fact that she can't have it anymore. like a lost love or lover

In Body Eletric I think Lana talks about 2 specific moments in her life. I think the song is related to K. The way Lana changes who her daddy, mother and bestest friends is I think is a way to mark those 2 moments.
  Elvis is my daddy,
Marilyn’s my mother,
Jesus is my bestest friend
We don’t need nobody,
‘Cause we got each other,
Or at least I pretend
We get down every Friday night,
Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry, we're feelin’ alright,
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind
You see that she changes later on who is her daddy, mother and bestest friend. At first Jesus is her bestest friend and they got each other or at least she pretends. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Lana said that she has contact with the mother of the man she sings about (in this case I think is K). Grand Ole Opry is a show that is broadcasted every friday night. Maybe they use to listen to the show together and now every friday night she goes out and pretends K is still here. Here she is more young and innocent listening to Elvis and dressing like Marylin
 
I’m on fire, baby I'm on fire
Whitman is my daddy,
Monaco’s my mother,
Diamonds are my bestest friend.
Elvis, Marilyn and Jesus mark a previous period. Later her her daddy becomes Whitman, Monaco as a Mother and diamonds as bestest friend.  I think is a way to mark time in the sense she had changed and time passess as life goes on.  Is also a sign of somewhat loneliness and emptiness but also more money. Diamonds and Monaco represent opulence but also emptyness. Is a place and a thing. Whitman as father which is a poet that also talks a lot about death. Lana mentioned him several times and quoted hiis poem a child in the grass in her old missdaytona twitter account. I think the time fits with what she is talking in Body Eletric and also fits the music.
 
Quote from Whitman poem child in the grass:

 
 
Suicide’s her father,
Opulence is the end
We get down every Friday night,
Dancing and grinding in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry
We're feelin’ alright,
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind
This is the trick part to me. I don't personaly think Lana ever tried to kill herself. It takes a lot of desperation to take your own life. As much as she suffers I don't see her doing it. The other thing is she is somewhat religious and obssessed with heaven. People who commit suicide in most religions don't get to heaven. To me the reference as suicide is a way to say she was desperate. You have many ways to use suicide as a figure of speech or K has commited suicide because of the life style he chose for himself and his suicide is the father, the reason, why she is alone. Opulence is the end is also interesting since her mother is now monaco and her bestest friend are diamonds. In the end she ended up with many things but whithout what she really wanted that was k.
 
My clothes still smell like you,
All the photographs say you're still young
I pretend I’m not hurt and go about the world like I’m having fun
We get crazy every Friday night,
Drop it like it’s hot in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry
feeling alright,
Mary's swaying softly to her heart's delight
 
One of the things about diying young is that you never grow old. Is a very strange thing specially when you look at pictures.  I guess that is what Lana is talking about since looking to pictures of someone who you lost and than looking at yourself in the mirror you really see how time has passed even if that person is pretty alive in your memories and in your head. In your head time stands still but in reality years has gonne by. I think here she makes that reference that her clothes still smell like him and the pictures shows her he is still young and in  her mind she pretends they got each other.

So I was looking through Bel Air and I also think is related to that öne true love". I also think she metions Sweet Child Of mine because of the lyrics of the song and not really Axl or guns itself. I also think that when she mentions gargoyles she is talking about those gargoyles that guard the cemetery. Also Roses are the flower of love and the flower of the dead.
Put the my thoughts on the spoiler
 

I took the time to read the entire original post and I think I got the gist of the imagery of each boyfriend in a song, so I've been speculating about AKA Lizzy Grant, because at the moment, it's my favorite Lana album, and I also think it's the most telling. I'm gonna try to categorize each song with a man previously in her life and if my little bits of evidence are wrong, please try to help so I can better understand it!
 
 
 
 

My soul is dead. Dead like you.

Are you K?

I think is Reeve, I mean he has to be pretty stupid to be Tailor Swift's love interest in a video
 
 
*I want Taylor to date Reeve and see wha she can bring to the table, imagine*
 

You are no longer with that girl



she just wanna play



and her name is Lana Del Rey

hey here is something basically irrelevant I noticed: In Mizrahi's article about Lizzy, he describes her as "with American flags on each of her fingernails" similiar to the lyric in Boarding School "with American flags on each little finger..."

I'm sure he was a nice guy overall. Lana obviously think's well of those times with him to some extent, I'm sure.
But if he is Mike.
 
HEY MIKE! TELL US HOW LANA WAS IN BED ?

OMFG please don't do that, should I go write nice things about him or...
 
Wait, you're Mike aren't you?
 
Playing video games...
Wanna play you like a Gameboy
It's a game, boy, I don't wanna play
 
HELLO.

Yeah, I think they had a fling or something, if anything at all, or perhaps she was inspired to write a song referencing him when she finally met him after being a fan for so long. I also completely forgot to mention Axl had issues with domestic abuse and used to hit his wife - violentest kind of love.

poor child you must have hit your head 
 
 

TAKE IT BACK.
 
 
(Even the unreleased songs, Hellion? smdh)

Speaking of overrated: Damn You.

Isn't this thread missing a section on how "Gods & Monsters" is obviously about me?
 
In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel, living in the garden of Evil...
In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel, looking to get fucked hard...
