COLACNT

she talks about being the 'bad girl that knows better', having a chameleon soul, no fixed personality, etc and i think its all true. i remember reading an article about her where the interviewer describes her as being 'coltishly innocent' with a 'vampish sense of knowingness'. i think that's a pretty accurate description of her lyrics, her imagery, and her personality. its probably also why people are so quick to assume that she's inauthentic, or putting on some sort of an act -- she seems to be a bit of a walking contradiction. personally, i think lizzy grant was more 'coltish and innocent' while lana del rey is more 'vampish and knowing'. elizabeth (herself) is probably a combination of those things and more. 
 
i think her beauty and her broadly overactive mind have come to shape her the most. she seems highly sensitive and intuitive to people's energies, her surroundings, and her own thoughts. since she tends to remain quiet (or ~ contemplative), perhaps even stoic or detached, people have thus come to perceive her as being stuck up, arrogant, possibly even vapid, if not worse. maybe these reactions have pushed her into her own shell, or left her quite cynical? i think a large part of her insecurities come down to the misperceptions (and passive aggressions) that have probably followed her throughout life. the anxiety of first impressions must be monumental for her. ultimately, i think she loves being beautiful, but its probably an often bittersweet kind of thing. i think she's been able to see the darker depths of human nature as a result. i think she feels a bit defensive about her looks; part of her may even resent what it does to those around her. but paradoxically, i think she needs to feel beautiful. 
 
i think she's a sweet person. i think she cares deeply about others' happiness, despite potentially being a bit aloof? i mean, i remember reading david kahne write that she was always riding the subway late at night by herself. so her being ~weird~ and aloof may be due to a self reflective nature. i also think she's a bit of a narcissist (which unfortunately, seems to be correlated with introversion). this comes back to her dual personality: she often seems insecure, awkward, and nervous. yet she knows that she's beautiful. she knows that she's smart, and she knows that she's talented. i guess it might be hard to attain a sense of self-security when you've got no fixed personality. but she seems happier and more confident now? i think she's come to feel validation (for her talents, and artistic intuitions) -- and its completely warranted. i think she's happy because people are starting to see how great she is, and now she can work on any kind of project that pops up in her mind without worrying about how it'll be received. i mean, after pussy cola, she can kind of do whatever the fuck she wants right? 
 
i dunno what else to say at the moment. a lot of what i feel that i know about her may just be random, abstract comprehensions mixed with vague projections. i guess she seems rather complicated. or simple, maybe? i dunno. but despite everything, i like to think she's as real as they come in this particular industry. 
 
also, if any of you are into jungian typology, i'm fairly certain that she's an INFP

I think my head just exploded.

this might be a stupid or flat out impossible request, but can you write some kind of like, lay tutorial on how to properly listen to music? i think its kind of hard for me to focus with my ears, so i end up hearing everything from a more... holistic perspective, without any understanding (or distinction) of the parts that ultimately complete the whole. i think my eyes have all the fine perceptual tuning that my ears seem to lack

i like the cake part. i don't think she means like, vanilla buttercream tho
 
as in most of her recent songs, some lyrics are good, some are like borderline retarded. but i like how super dramatic it all sounds. gives me swooping tummy feels

I am currently working on building a fashion database! Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I have so far, listed by designer -

Done! I used the official font (except it didn't have full stops or Z's so that had to use Steelfish for them). I also made one with "demos" added on to it if anyone would want that

omg. i love super 8 -- the colors / lack of sharpness turn a standard beach visit something otherworldly, almost like some sort of real-life cartoon. she (they?) captured some really beautiful scenery too 
 
i wonder why she keeps releasing so many random covers. not that i'm complaining obviously, i just wonder if she's still trying to prove herself to the general public. i'm glad though -- now they can see another side to her voice, and absorb more of her creative elements. i would hope that, at this point no one could really still consider her to be 'manufactured' or 'inauthentic'. i can't think of any other "pop" star that would have the animus or the ability to release something as personal and care-free as this. her talent(s) just seem to be effortless... i'm hoping that with all these releases, more people start realizing it too

i don't think any attempt to prove onerself would immediately render that person disingenuous. in fact, i think you can do something for fun, while trying to prove yourself, and still be altogether genuine. i just wonder what her motivations are. personally, i think she wants the world to love her and to see her for who she is. not just because she's human, but because she seemed rather butt-hurt in several of her past interviews. i think she's genuine, but i also think she's smart and a bit fame-hungry. the latter two can probably cause some lines to blur
