Depression

I think that Barrie should get out of any theory about who the song is about, because even though he does play guitar Barrie isn't named Bill, Lana has had more musician boyfriends than Barrie and I'm pretty sure most of them have tried to be famous, she had one that she looks out for in magazines, one that is a rockstar. Jimmy, Mertens, Reeve (and others?), they have all recorded songs haven't they? and aren't they all neglectful lovers in all of Lana's songs? Barry isn't the one that applies for the junky, dope, depressed boyfriend tbh and he doens't apply to be ladiesman either, he's not that cute, this song could be about one of her other boyfriends. And Lana could, of course, be mixing different lovers and icons like she's done in past songs so keep that in mind, as someone said before. That interview is from 2012 lol Also, if all the roads lead to him, all she do is for him, isn't this the guy she talked about all her songs are inspired by? The one love she would forever honour? If so, that guys is prior to Barrie by far.

Will Lana do a deluxe version since this is an album for the fans and not just her own history?

There are also many excellent articles on Jim Baker, Father Yod and the Family available online. While I will be linking some of them here as references, I will mostly be focusing on the Family and their own personal interpretations of what was going on during the time they were active as I believe this is where Lana gathered most of her inspiration from. There are a lot of negative articles written about what actually was going on behind closed doors at the Family homes and while I'm sure some may be accurate, and will lend support to some theories, the writers of the articles were not a part of the Family and did not experience first hand what went on. While most former Family members do have criticism toward Jim Baker, the man, they speak very highly of Father Yod as their Earthly Spiritual Father, enough so that I don't doubt they would embellish. I recommend reading all evidence and articles with a grain of salt as all of it is personal anecdotes and there is no solid facts to back up any claims made. I encourage every member of Lana Boards to dig in and discover any other pieces of evidence you may find regarding this topic. I will add to this post as new evidence is found with credit to the finder! Here is the original post that I made in the Ultraviolence lyrics thread so please have a look at that for an idea of what started all of this: http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/4684-ultraviolence/?p=198053 So hopefully now you have an idea of the Family, we'll jump into the evidence we have. Some of it will be stuff that I and other users have already posted on the UV thread, some will be new. Please note, this section will be updated as more info is discovered. The Source Family and their Influence on Ultraviolence General Evidence Lyrical Evidence While I believe some songs on UV are inspired by the Source Family, I don't think that all songs were inspired by them. So you won't see Old Money on this list for example, as it is clearly written for the Great Gatsby, inspired by the character of Daisy and written as an epilogue to Lana's Young and Beautiful. I also believe Lana is inspired from many different things and she weaves them into her own story, either by becoming who she is writing about or imagining herself in a similar situation. She has said before that is in the habit of writing about several things in a song and tying them all together. For example, Video Games being about two different men, etc. So while some lyrics fit the Source theory, others will not as they are probably influenced either by her life or something else. Cruel World Ultraviolence Shades of Cool Brooklyn Baby Aesthetic Evidence This section is about the pictures used for Ultraviolence vs pictures from The Source Family Archives as well as the soundscape Dan Auerbach and Lana came up with. Lana had stated that her new take on the UV album was "Unlistenable" with many different sounds, tempo changes, etc. Some of the Ya Ho Wha recordings sound very similar to how Lana re-did UV with the layered sounds, experimental vocals and tempo changes. Sound Visuals As I stated above I will continue updating this post with more evidence as I find it. Please feel free to post any similarities you might find and I will happily add it with credit to you! Congratulations, your theory has been proved correct! Well, something at least a little bit

I'm gonna be at school

Where was this attitude back in 2013 omg a true Angel crying tears of gold like lemonade! Could she never stop? my heart is beating really fast rn omg

my mom loves me and i Love her

Yasss I thought I was the only one creeping on him! Yasssssss

So this is a promotional track then?

The fact that the clarity of inner dialogue came through!

more than 108k tweets wow QUEEN

How are you doubting it? Lol, the songs is clearly a message to her fans, at least to the depressed ones (like me lol) and to those who go on the vintage/old thing Lana has going on and somehow are living the Lizzy lifestyle LDR has gone through, the "dark trailer park life", the going nowhere drama, the sad realization that life is meaningless and we all get bothered by even the smallest of problem we face but that we must all look up for the future and a better day/world because things will work out in the end, etc...

I think she still hasn't said anything about it in none of her social media because this was not the way the song was going to be introduced to us tbh, it's a more personal an special song FOR US and the fact that WE leaked it must be frustating at least a little bit for her Poor girl can't ever get things right with us

Queen of recognizing her music depresses us :') Who would have thought that all those instagram videos of her driving and singing or just laying on her bed with her make up on would turn in to an actual song for all of us? All those instagram videos man... She was telling us the song all of this time I think someone can make a "homemade" video with all of her instagram videos and other clips tbh

The fact that I haven't listened to the snippets or the song, not even by accident, amazes me. At this point I think I'm willing to wait one week more or till the release date tbh Waiting to read Lana's manager's or her own statement about this...

Her Tesla and Space X inspired era finally arrived Finally the promo has started, I knew our girl would come through sooner than you all were saying

I am still boping. "Say I make you feel like Like you did, like you did when you were thirteen Say I make you feel like When you were the dirty heavy metal king Say I make you feel alright, alright, alright" Yes Lizzy Grant. Where is the Lanalysis on this song tho??

She's drunk for sure jajajaja glad she's having a good time

How could you go around in life without ever caring to read Lana's poetic tweets in her old accounts?

Elle where are you when I need you the most

I'm going to have so much fun reading all this mess after the song is actually released
