Sitar

She's already a lot bigger than I ever imagined she would get.
 
It would certainly affect her a lot--I mean, it already has. But would I get angry about it? No. For her sake, I hope she doesn't have to deal with much more fame.

Imagining, like, a statue of the Virgin Mary...I guess that could make sense. I'm going to definitively change it to "past" and "crack house"--without crack house, the song actually doesn't seem to have much of a meaning beyond serious ambiguity and buying coffee. But those two words suddenly make it dark.

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.

Well the final version of Black Beauty is officially the first Lana song to make me cry my fucking eyes out omg
 
Like I had random tears in the verse and then it just SWELLED INTO MAGNIFICENCE and I was sobbing out loud
 
Only ones I didn't take an immediate shining to were MPG, FMWUTTT, and GAR...so we'll see how that goes

I've been hyping the other titles so much that it only just struck me we'll actually get Old Money yassssssssssssssss

THE MELTDOWN IS REAL

BLACK BEAUTY IS NOT SNUBBED

She did say UV would be jazzy...So I'm okay with it.

But are Sad Girl, Pretty When You Cry, and Black Beauty all gonna be depression anthems? Buck the heck up Barrie

6:38 for Cruel World! I really can't take it fuck
 
Magnum opus intro track come to me

Prophecy teas
 
 
If so, hope FMWUTTT is a finalized Put Your Lips Together lel

This is bigger news transport yaself http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/4561-ultraviolence-pre-order-in-france-possible-tracklist/

@ I'm sorry but temporary lock

This leaves out a lot of my favorite unreleased songs (Get Drunk, I Don't Wanna Go) but the flow is unmatched and everyone on Earth should hear this collection someday
 

:wat:
 
Anyway...
 
Everyone seems to be very attached to the idea that Lana did drugs in her trailer park days. I don't think that's the case. I think a lot of it was probably as a teenager and around the time of Sirens. Honestly so much more of her earlier stuff seems drugged-out than the later stuff. Who's to say she wasn't actually in the back doing crack at boarding school? And then she moved to New York City at age 18, the setting for "Fordham Road" which includes the lyric Crack house on the corner / I know I shouldn't do what it is I could.
 
I really hope she's clean, 100%. Addiction didn't do anything positive for Lana. Hopefully Bradley Soileau was just really pressed when he described her as a, what, speed fairy?
 
As for her looks, my slutty neighbor did meth for a few months and it didn't really hurt her outer appearance, except for the fact that she got mad skinny. But I see a lot of people every day who weren't as lucky.
 
And as for how she paid for the drugs? Several songs suggest she was a gogo dancer. Several more songs suggest she was supported by a man.
 
(I was going to move this to the photo section, but it's got some good discussion so I'm just going to change the title.)

She really makes me wonder if I should have reconsidered all those MySpace friend requests I got from floppy bands
 
You know, it is weird that no original Lizzy fans are around. I mean, she had some audience on MySpace. Were they genuine or just being nice when they commented on her page? Do they realize she's gotten so famous but looks totally different and has a different name?

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.

Acoustic:
Carry me up them stairs
With my white socks on and my pretty song,
You like my blue nail polish
What is all this?
You said, "Little miss, upstairs
Don't be scared."

Daddy dearest, you know how I like to take trips
Pops, first stop at the K-Mart
Buy me my peach lip-gloss
Cigarettes and lollipops
Mad Magazine and white socks
All in your car for our trip across the USA

We gonna party like it's 1949
We in the Pontiac from July to July
It's a flower motel nation
Day and night on our last vacation
We gonna see it all before we say goodbye

Daddy likes Blackpool,
Pleasure beach and road-stops,
Baby likes the Swiss Alps souvenir gift-shops
Late night, midnight, radio show talks
Daddy, baby, big jail break

Ponytail and lollipops
Dinerettes and soda-pops
New blue bathing suit
Ruched tops and Cadillacs
Blue LA Carte Docks
Hop-scotch, shit talk
Alabama hard knocks
Motel brass locks.

We gonna party like it's 1949
We in the Pontiac from July to July
It's a motel flower nation
Day and night on our last vacation
We gonna see it all before he says goodbye
 
 
Studio:
Carry me up them stairs
With my white socks on
And my pretty song
Like my blue nail polish
What is all this?
You said of the mess upstairs
Don't be scared

Daddy dearest
You know how I like to take trips
Pops first stops at the K-Mart
Buy me my peach lipgloss
Cigarettes and lollipops
For our trip across the USA

We're gonna party like it's 1949
We're in the Pontiac from July to July
Gonna see it all before he says goodbye
Gonna party like it's 1949
 
Carry me up the stairs
With my white socks on
And my blonde hair long
You like my pin-up bodice
And the solace
That comes with the midnight air
And my icy stare
 
It's the clearest
When it's me and him alone
He's stops, he talks about all the ways he used to
Dinerettes and soda pops
For our trip across the USA
 
We're gonna party like it's 1949
We're in the Pontiac from July to July
Gonna see it all before he says goodbye
Gonna party like it's 1949
 
Daddy likes Blackpool,
Pleasure beach and road stops,
Me, I like the Swiss Alps souvenir gift shops
Late night, midnight, radio show talks
Him and me, a big jailbreak
 
Ponytail and lollipops
Dinerettes and sodapops
New blue bathing suit
Ruched tops and Cadillacs
Blue LA Carte Docks
Hopscotch, hot talk
Alabama hard knocks
Motel brass locks.

Strap yourself into your chair if you must and get ready for Lana Del Rey's best song.

When they said prolific, they weren't kidding

Aw shit lemme go cure cancer
