Every song with daddy in it (I literally went through all the lyric-posts and searched for daddy  :suicide: )

 

 

 

Ride
You can be my full-time daddy, white and gold
 
Body Electric
Elvis is my daddy
Whitman is my daddy
 
Yayo
Let me put on a show for you, daddy
 
Put me in a movie
You can be my daddy
 
Pretty baby
My mean daddy
 
Axl rose husband
I said "daddy, i need you"
You're my one king daddy
 
Come when you call me america
Tell me a story, daddy
 
Crooked cop
My baby daddy
 
Daddy issues
 
Gogo dancer
I never have to work, 'cause my daddy is rich
 
Kinda outta luck
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
 
Paris
Don't tell my daddy why, gotta get on that place and just fly
 
Trash magic
do you like my fake nails, daddy?
 
You can be the boss
you can be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss
 
1949
Daddy dearest, you know how I like to take trips
Daddy likes blackpool
Daddy, baby, big jail break

All songs with trouble

 

 

 

Gramma
T-R-O-U-B-L-E, trouble's what feels good to me
 
This is what makes us girls
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away
 
Ride
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
 
Backfire
You say trouble follows you
 
Driving in cars with boys
Stumble into trouble, siren with a sad song
 
Hollywood's dead
But it was a cover for all of the trouble
You got into
 
Never let me go
Get into some trouble like our parents did
 
On our Way
My trouble's all over now because you're my man

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All songs with queen (I'm sure most, if not all of these have been mentioned already)

 

 

 

off to the races
Queen of Coney Island
 
National anthem
Queen of Saigon
 
carmen
Coney Island Queen
 
summertime sadness
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen-style
 
This is what makes us girls
A freshman generation of degenerate beauty queens
 
Queen of the gas station
 
Brite Lites
I'm going back to Arbor Dean
Where when I was a beauty queen
 
Put me in a movie
You're my little sparkle jump-rope queen
 
Axl rose husband
Queen, queen
 
I’m your little queen
Red, white, and blue
 
Boarding School
If you wanna be that pin up queen
 
Children of the bad revolution
Sick graffiti artists and tabloid queen
 
Crooked Cop
He says I'm his Snowflake Ice Queen, oh.
 
Disco
I'll be your queen
 
Dum Dum
'Cause you like me even when I'm mean, I'm the queen
 
Ghetto baby
Now come home to your queen, boo
 
Go go dancer
Queen of the night
 
Heavy Hitter
I am the Queen of Alchemy
 
Hit & Run
Then there’s me, little queen of the stage, yeah
 
Hundred dollar bill
I am the New Jersey dance queen
 
Is it wrong
Used to be a beauty queen with simple acquisitions
 
Live or die
I’m your queen of Saigon
 
Making out
I'm the New York City queen, queen
 
Match made in heaven
Now come home to your queen, boo
I am your queen
 
Methamphetamines
Blue ‘50s queen
 
Puppy Love/Marilyn monroe
Calendar pin-up queen and platinum curls
 
Prom song (Gone wrong)
And I never dreamed that I'd be the queen
You used to call yourself the don and call me queen Diana
 
Queen of Disaster
I'm the queen of disaster

I'm the beauty queen of disaster

 
Us against the world
And if you want the Queen of New York then you better call me
 
You're gonna love me
I can tell that you're the type to never trust a beauty queen

 

 

 

 

 

29 songs with queen and 15 songs with daddy  :creep:

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...

tumblr_ml9tgzXMR61qzvpvxo1_500.jpg

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  :pls:

 

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  :troll:

 

 

 

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


Caesar said he’d fall in love with me if I was older. I own all of Mexico and I got my own roller-coaster.

:omfg2:  Is it bad that I kind of want that grill? :twirls:

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. :derpna2:

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

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

 

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