I am totally on board with evilentity's theory though like ho shit

I've just sort of skimmed through this thread (it's far too long and I'm far too busy to sit down and read it all in one go lol) so apologies if any of this was already addressed. I remain absolutely convinced that the vast majority of her songs are/were written about Jimmy. Speculation can be fun, and some of these theories are really interesting, but what Lana has said herself should take precedence as truth. Imo, the two most important quotes to consider are: 1. She has said multiple time, in so many interviews I couldn't even think of where to source if I tried, that Born to Die, Video Games, and Blue Jeans are a trilogy about the same man/relationship. Going off that, she said she cast Bradley in those videos because he reminded her of the man she was singing about. And so these songs are obviusly about Jimmy. 2. She's also quoted as saying something along the lines of "... I sing about the same damn person all the time, so I'll probably always be in love with him.." Which, again, just makes me assume that the majority - if not all - of the love songs on BTD are about Jimmy. I think some of you take things too literally. Blue Jeans doesn't have to be literally about her boyfriend being arrested and sent to prison. Her mentioning elements of hiphop/street culture doesn't mean her boyfriend was black (I'm not even going to touch on how offensive and stereotyping that is tbh I can't deal I mean wtf). She uses the same themes over and over again in all of her music. She's been obviously influenced by hiphop and rap musically, lyrically, aesthetically. She's obsessed with old Hollywood and glamour and seems to have been so the bulk of her life. That's why you get references to grills, gold chains, phrases like "baby boo" or "ride or die" and these dramatic cinematic storylines like in Born to Die, Off to the Races, etc. They connect back to her real-life experiences, but I don't think it's exactly literal. OK this comment is about 20x longer than it should have been so I'm just gonna stop here. What am I doing with my life, etc etc :love:
