what if Happiness Is A Butterfly ends up being this six-minute-long beautiful track with tempo changes and interesting production, and the snippet we heard was just the intro? ok, it probably won't be, and it'll end up being the Rick Nowel-ish — 4 chords — plain ballad we've already heard in the instagram video, lol. well, if it makes the cut.

we basically wrote the same thing with different words. Great minds think alike (?)

Radio edit — is, well, a single edited to be suitable for radio's regulations. It's basically the song shortened (for mainstream/pop radio) when songs are longer than 4:00 minutes. Also, some radio edits sent to certain stations are 'clean versions' that edit 'inappropiate' words that might offend some people, lol. Those are usually referred to as 'clean versions' as well. These ones are produced by the same people who produced the album versions, but edited by the engineers and sometimes even by folks from the radio stations (these ones are usually quite shitty) Radio mix — a different (or slightly different) version of a single. Usually made for songs that might not be exactly 'radio friendly', thus labels sending these mixes — aiming for a broader audience. They're not that common tho, and nowadays they are quite rare, appearing in a few singles cds and/or random countries as bonus tracks. These ones might or might not be produced by the same original producers. Take "West Coast" album version, produced by Dan Auerbach, while "West Coast (Radio Mix)" is made by Rick Nowels & co. Hope it answered your question! I tried my best to be clear lol.

are "Once Upon A Dream" and "Once Upon A Dream (Pop Version)" the same?

Are we sure –"Tell me something nice About your favorite girl"– is right? I can't seem to hear the word "nice" at all and it bothers me so much when listening to the song. I hear something like "tell me something I– I'm your favorite girl" but sounds kind of silly and weird.

knowing Lana — probably. Most of her songs gravitate towards the same experiences or people. Some of the lyrics you used as examples look as if they could be connected somehow. But perhaps they're coincidences or recurrent situations she might like?

is it "nothing gold can stay" or "I think gold can stay"? pretty sure I've read somewhere that could be the second option as well but i dunno

Idk if you've read this already, but there is a long ass and in-depth article/interview with Kieron, Dean and Rick, where they talk about producing/engineering/mixing Lust for Life and Max Martin's input into the final mix of the title track, among other things, such as 'the wolf' and other 'weird' sounds I find it quite interesting how many instruments/effects/drums were used on LFL, as it was pretty prominent when listening to the Instrumental. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-lana-del-rey-lust-life
