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!

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 ?

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.

Probably redundant at this point, but i really fail to see the point in Guns & Roses. Like. Even for a filler it's just, why.

Anybody know how far back Lizzy knew Reeve Carney? Apparently, David Kahne produced his band Carney's 2008 EP. So I'm assuming she was probably introduced to one of them by the other. Oh, and the name of that EP? Nothing Without You.

What are you talking about? Those two songs are the golden turning point of the century for music, they are sheer masterpieces which can never be topped, they are a beautiful pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, they are a grandmother's hug and a warm plate of cookies on Saturday morning...

WHY CAN'T I LIKE THIS POST IT IS SO PERFECT.
Anyway. Guys. PLEASE.
Lana. Has. Lip. Injections. Her lips didn't inflate because she gave a thousand blow jobs. They didn't plump up that much from cayenne pepper. She. Got. Lip. Injections. Look at old pictures of her, and then look at ones from the Vogue photoshoot. It is so obvious that I am in physical pain every time I see someone make up an excuse for why her lips are naturally that big. Seriously. Please use your brains here. Lana has lied about a lot already so what makes you think she isn't lying about her lips? She got a nose job, too. Seriously guys.
