If I get a little prettier can I be your baby? ... and I'm singing
'Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly want'

 

Is "Lana Del Rey" the character really the antithesis of Lizzy Grant, singing "God's dead" to her adoring audience?

 

There was a theory that one creates a doppelgänger and then imbues that with all your faults and guilts and fears and then eventually you destroy him, hopefully destroying all your guilt, fear and paranoia. And I often feel that I was doing that unwittingly, creating an alternative ego that would take on everything that I was insecure about. (David Bowie, Arena, 1993)

 

She says, "You don't wanna be like me" . . . but Lana receives her redemption, rather than destruction.

 

Her character is also a funny one. Remember that story that she got a better voice because she fell as a child?? The sentence "I want to make my life a form of art" and now "my life is a form of art"  besides being annoying are also a hint that she created a life for herself out of her own imagination. The bee lips are also a part of it. Sometimes when I give Lana tons of credit in the brains department I think that maybe, just maybe, the lips where a way to throw at society itself what they wanted and what they value. Appearence, beauty (or the concept of what beauty today is), superficial, images. The character Lana Del Rey was what people wanted or what most people find pretty.

A figment of your imagination

 

Is this latest leak a piece of the puzzle?
