-I Knew You Were Trouble video is an exact copy of Ride (down to the monologue)
-Style Video// Summertime Sadness
-Wildest Dreams sounds exactly like without you, or a BTD reject
not to mention both Style and IKYWT used the same director that both of the videos copied
1989 is pretty much what Lana would sound like if she were to sell out
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.
This is very interesting because she said in an interview that she wrote VG about World of Warcraft and she said in a different interview that it's her least favorite video game because it consumes every man in her life.
