blackenedrussianpoetry liked a post in a topic by Sitar in The Ocean
The extra lyrics and gentler vocals make this song suddenly feel so intimate I can't help but think of this and Wayamaya as two sides of a coin. I can just imagine her and her man driving to the Jersey Shore but pretending they were going Hawaii and coming up with their alter egos Lana and Ray This also really clarifies a lot of the ocean references in other songs, too; of course she created such a strong association with this first love who is still in her stage name today
I also never really got the "Ray and his girls" lyric but with all this in mind it kinda makes it seem like he's telling her about this fantasy they've created together.

I really love Elvis myself, and this song was one of the first ones I listened to on YouTube when delving into her unreleased work. Holds a special place in my heart.
I currently have it under "K", though "/

Because you guys are SO useful at putting news where it needs to go.
Lana is promoting Honeymoon with a hotline at 1-800-268-7886, to be updated weekly. Discuss here.

Platinum and vale acrylics
Skim the paper for the critics
Baby's breath and Elvis lyrics
On the copper bar
Late in motel lounges singin'
Spotlight on the band is swingin'
Chateau Marmont memories fading
Hope is very far
Elvis, where are you when I need you most?
White kind of sequin jumpsuit ghost
Pick me up and make a toast
Champagne in the air
Tipping back his head, relaxing
Thank you very much and I'm laughing
All my chantilly lace catchin'
Baby, on the chandelier
Sweeping scents and blue hydrangea
Summer hail and summer stranger
Baby, he's in constant danger
Help is very far
"You look like a Florida native
Are you?" I said, at the rate of
Slow molasses from the state of
Vermont with a Southern drawl
Elvis, where are you when I need you most?
White kind of sequin jumpsuit ghost
Pick me up and make a toast
Champagne in the air
Tipping back his head, relaxing
Thank you very much and I'm laughing
All my chantilly lace is catchin'
On the chandelier
He said he'd come to welcome, warn me
Just your diamond to adorn me
Come to be and see the one and only
For my final year
Well, thank you
Elvis, where are you when I need you most?
White kind of sequin jumpsuit ghost
Pick me up and make a toast
Champagne in the air
Tipping back his head, relaxing
Thank you very much and I'm laughing
All my chantilly lace is catchin'
On that chandelier
It's catchin' on that chandelier
It's catchin' on that chandelier
Where are you when I need you most?

Post your unpopular opinions on Lana Del Rey here! I will of course start:
The No Kung Fu "Yayo" shits all over the album version.

Methamphetamine, pink flamingo
Blue ‘50s queen, Blue Oyster Cult/Cove
Further we dream
Why don’t we go to Coney Island?
One day among, the ballad sung
The record spins blue '50s song
The veranda looks ocean ???
Neon palms sway
What’s happening?
Where did we go?
The Jersey Shore was long ago
As with our hopes
And Ocean Grove
And so I bid you farewell

Embach liked a post in a topic by Sitar in Create A Lana Ep (~8 Songs) From Unreleased And Demo Tracks
There was a period before Lana was famous--back when she was feeling that rejection, I think an interview said around the time Ke$ha was number 1--that she was writing pop songs (quite well, I might add). I tried to imagine this coming to fruition. Maybe she'd emphasize her "dangerous" side a little more, or go by just plain LANA in the spirit of other pop stars. Thus was born the DADDY ISSUES EP!
1. Kinda Outta Luck
2. Ooh Baby
3. Hey Lolita Hey
4. Daddy Issues (I like to imagine this with clearer vocals and simpler production)
5. Dum Dum
6. Gogo Dancer
7. She's Not Me
8. Backfire
Bonus:
9. Match Made in Heaven
10. Paris

This is not about a one-night stand. This "king of the industry players" was obviously helping her career with some perks on the side. Or maybe he was getting some perks on the side before he decided to help her career. Jet-setting to Europe a lot (her three-year "world tour"), trying to get that success. You and me, on a spree, taking over.

Billie liked a post in a topic by Sitar in LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships
Welcome to LANALYSIS, where we get real unhealthy in our obsessions and absolutely revel in it.
This is a project I've been maintaining for a while now--Lana + Analysis...get it? The basic purpose is to relate every one of her songs (that's right, every last one of them) to her known and assumed relationships. Not a stone is left unturned. Privacy is violated. The fans rejoice. Mind you, it’s all pure speculation, but ~this is what makes us stans~
It’s pretty long but an interesting read, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it in all it’s updated glory, and I will continue to update as new information is revealed and new songs come out. I will also be adding pictures, sources, etc. Stay tuned!
Let’s get started!
EARLY RELATIONSHIPS (1985 - ~2005)
LOCAL ROCKSTARS (~2005 - 2009)
YOU MADE ME NICE FOR A WHILE (2009 - 2011)
POST-BREAKTHROUGH (2011+)
IN THE LAND OF DISCREPANCIES
ADVANCED LANALYSIS
IN SUMMARY..
Lingering questions…
- Who the fuck is K?
- Who the fuck is Ray?
- Who the fuck is Bill? Is Bill really K? Does Bill matter at all?
- What significance do cars play? She mentions eight in total (white Corvette, white Pontiac, blue Chevy Nova/Chevrolet, Cadillac convertible, Mercedes, pickup truck, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron)
- When was she/who was she with in New York City and New Jersey? Ditto LA? Most mysterious and pressing, her time in the South?
- Did she have a fling with Bradley Soileau?
- Did Chris C. matter enough to her for her to write songs about him?
Assumptions Made:
- Lana was a gogo dancer.
- K is a drug dealer/murderer, dead or on death row.
- Jimmy is her ex-fiancé, addicted to cocaine despite a Wikipedia page stressing how healthy he is, associated with Chevrolets.
- Much of Sirens is about completely different relationships.
- She fucked Bradley.
- Mike controlled her career but their relationship wasn’t associated with anything fucked up like drugs or stripping.
Thanks for reading! I crave both your feedback and theories! This remains a forum collaboration and I don't claim to have the final say on Lanalytical manners.
For the sake of believability, I'm always hunting receipts, and currently:
- The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games"
- The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean.
- The interview where she talks about meeting her boyfriend in rehab and being dazzled by his small-scale celebrity.

You were the freak king of the piercing shop
All the girls thought they could sing, but they’re really not shit
I don’t get it
You’re looking like a man, you’re talking like a baby
How the fuck is your song in a Coke commercial, crazy?
I don’t get it
Your taste once exquisite
What happened to Brooklyn, what happened to New York?
What happened to my scene, what happened to punk rock, rock?
You called me the queen of the downtown scene, babe
How the fuck would you go switch it up and then replace me?
I don’t get it, I’m so legit
Tell me, was it ‘cause I wasn’t platinum in jewels?
That perhaps you thought I was a little bit of an uncool kid
Was that it?
Stefani, you suck, I know you’re selling twenty million
Wish they could have seen you when we booed you off in Williamsburg
You’re hurt, I know my words don’t hurt, yeah
Oh, girl, I see you walking 'round in your pearls
Thinking that you’re number one
You’re so funny, ‘cause honey, you’re not
What happened to Brooklyn, the last frontier?
They said you could make it anywhere if you can make it here
But where, no magic in the air
What happened to Brooklyn, what happened to our scene, baby?
Have we all gone Gaga crazy?
Remember when the streets used to be dangerous and we were born bad
And we were born bad?
Punk rock, punk rock
The boys used to punch each other in the face and girls were walking around wasted
And everyone had a good night, come back in sunlight
Punk rock, rock, rock

I'm sure you'll all give me your two cents on what it says.
You're hot for God, but we all got a hunch that maybe you’ve gone astray
Control yourself, but it’s so hard when you can look so good on Sunday
I know he knows that I know what he’s thinking, I know he knows
I know he knows that what he’s doing is wrong, but I just tell him,
“Go on and sing your sad song.”
My baby has an eye for pretty things, pretty things
He thinks that little girls are butterflies and cuts their wings
Sicko, psycho, sicko, but he is my beau
Puts them on a roller coaster, lures them in with Coca-Cola!
Boy, you’ve been catching butterflies
All the girls believe your lies, don’t they?
Boy, you can pin me up if you like
A pin-up/I been up in the lonely sky, baby
You give me butterflies
You’re catching butterflies
You give me butterflies, I’m fluttering, fluttering
You’re hot to trot but boy you’ve got a secret that you cannot betray
It makes you hot, you’re burning up, but baby-boy your secret is safe
I know he know that I know what he’s thinking, I know he know
I know he know that what he’s teaching is wrong, but honey this preacher’s song
Has got me too far-gone
My baby has an eye for girls who sing, girls who sing
He’s lucky I’m the type, that’s his thing, that’s his thing
Sicko, psycho, sicko, but he is my beau
Dresses up in rings and rollers, poses as a holy-roller!
Boy, you’ve been catching butterflies
All the girls believe your lies, don’t they?
Boy, you can pin me up if you like
A pin-up/I been up in the lonely sky, baby
You give me butterflies
You’re catching butterflies
You give me butterflies, I’m fluttering, fluttering
These butterflies are in their golden cage, safe and bound
He puts on “Lola” by The Kinks and he dances ‘round
And he’s so happy that his feet don’t even touch the ground
And I know love ‘cause I was lost and now I’m finally found
Boy, you’ve been catching butterflies
All the girls believe your lies, don’t they?
Boy, you can pin me up if you like
A pin-up/I been up in the lonely sky, baby
You give me butterflies
You’re catching butterflies
You give me butterflies, I’m fluttering, fluttering, fluttering…
