Talking about "golden grill" being a recurring thing in Lana's songs, I had an idea for the past two weeks that's been really eating at my curiosity.

I'm not the only one who isn't taking it literal, right? Like...

Not that, right? She so doesn't mean the FLAAAAAAAAAAAVA FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAV grill, right?

More like, just talking about her guy's grin and how radiant it is? Grill's slang for actual teeth, too, right? I think I listened to enough Nelly and 50 Cent during my childhood. I'm pretty sure I caught the drift with getting knocked in the grill.

But no, really, I hope I am not the only one who hopesthinks she's just being slangtastically poetic as always.

I hope it's not literal because wearing grills is tacky 

 

But lanalysis wise it sort of makes "sense", golden grills is a K-thing, so when she wore one gold/diamond tooth it was honoring K just like how the two tears were in solidarity of the double homicide. (in my mind at least)

 

 

And the toe ring is a symbol of being a recovering alcoholic 

 

 

 

or maybe he threw sick bbq parties

well she did wear a golden tooth and a blinged out tooth herself so i think it's likely she means an actual grill. "with your golden grill" doesn't sound like a smile or just his mouth to me

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344]

  Is it bad that I kind of want that grill?

Makes sense! I could just never imagine Lana with someone wearing a grill, let alone kissing them; I've heard it usually ends up getting very funky.

[Divisive Princess 3,754]

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but she also sings about a pool in the TIWMUG demo. 

[SarcasticBeauty 1,540]

"Golden Grill" is in Spotlight Delight, Queen of Disaster, Golden Grill, Daytona Meth, Every Man Get's His Wish, and  Velvet Crowbar. Lana has a thing for guys with Grills lol

[lauradelxx 1,082]

every man gets his wishhhhhhhhhhh

[Platinum Greenwich 13,846]

Anyone else feel like it would be a good idea to compile all of her references to Nabokov's Lolita somewhere?

I seem to find more than just the obvious -- like Put Me In A Movie has that whole Quilty thing going on...

 

This might be reaching (because a lot of it is thematic, after all) but I still think it'd be a cute project.
