MissPinUpGalore 8 Posted July 31, 2013 I think Black Beauty could be about Marilyn Manson. I could be entirely wrong. He has a song called "Heart Shaped Glasses" "Don't breakDon't break my heartAnd I won't break your heart-shaped glassesLittle girl, little girlYou should close your eyesThat blue is getting me high and making me low She reminds me of the one in schoolWhen I was cuttin'She was dressed in whiteAnd I couldn't take my eyes off herBut that's not what I took off that night" Lana - Black Beauty "I paint my nails black,I dye my hair a darker shade of brownCause you like your women Spanish, dark, strong and proudI paint the sky blackYou said if you could have your wayYou'd make a night time of todaySo it'd suit the mood of your songOh, what can I do?Nothing, my sparrow blueOh, what can I do?Life is beautiful but you don't have a clueSun and ocean blueTheir magnificence, it don't make sense to youI paint the house blackMy wedding dress black leather tooYou have no room for lightLove is lost on youI keep my lips redThe same like cherries in the springDarling, you can't let everythingSeem so dark blue" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissPinUpGalore 8 Posted July 31, 2013 I know he is gross.. and scary. Someone reblogged a photoset I posted asking if "Heart Shaped Glasses" was inspired by her... which seems likely. I mean they were only spotted together by paparazzi but that doesn't say a whole lot 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lola 6,622 Posted July 31, 2013 i'm pretty sure angels forever, forever angels is about k because we know he's from san diego (you are california proud) and that "We are heavy metal lions" and "Rock 'n' roll guardians now" sounds very K to me, we know he liked punk rock. i'm not sure what the "they were angels forever, forever angels" is supposed to mean...does this mean k's dead? is she referencing a lost/aborted child she had with k that's in heaven with him? is she talking about her and k and does "angels forever, forever angels" just mean that their relationship's dead? 2 Quote Caesar said he’d fall in love with me if I was older.

MermaidTrailerHeaven 454 Posted July 31, 2013 and k and does "angels forever, forever angels" just mean that their relationship's dead? Angels forever, forever angels is a reference to the Hells Angels. More bike/gang/open-road culture. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeartshapedChevrolet 291 Posted July 31, 2013 She wants K to give heaven a try, maybe its refrencing that theyll be angels forever not matter wether he got into heaven or not he was still her angel? Idk I feel sorry for barrie, i would feel hell bad hearing thise songs, pretty on par with like reading her diary lol Black beauty sounds like she's depressed with the relationship, she seems happy with barrie he dosent seem like he would be so dark and unloving towards her 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fraises 94 Posted July 31, 2013 take that back. The song was recorded back in 2007 it seems. But the lyrics do fit Lana very well. yep it's about Evan Rachel Wood (his gf then). She's in the video too. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fraises 94 Posted July 31, 2013 Angels forever, forever angels is a reference to the Hells Angels. More bike/gang/open-road culture. Yep and with the "easy rider" mention too (actually a lot of Lana songs remind me of that movie - the open road, the love for the "country that america used to be", perceived freedom vs actually being free). I wonder if she was actually involved with 1%ers or if it's just glamorizing the lifestyle, i know a lot of hell's angels affiliates and they're not people i would want to get messed up with, lol. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean they were only spotted together by paparazzi but that doesn't say a whole lot Heart-shaped glasses are no way something of Manson's attribute but it's a very popular Lolita thing ! The promo for the Kubrick movie Lolita shows Dolores wearing heart-shaped glasses and Manson got inspired because he had a relationship with a girl much younger than him (she was 20 something). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally thought "they were angels forever forever Angels" was like somebody speaking at K and Lana's funeral, she did say she has fantasizes about her own funeral 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PinUpCartoonBaby 1,017 Posted July 31, 2013 @@HeartshapedChevrolet : Cool analysis! I really like your theory that Jimmy actually replaced K. Sounds logical to me. I read your whole post yesterday but now I can’t remember everything. And I began to develop my own little theory while reading but now I just don’t know it anymore. I shouldn’t read Lanalysis late at night…. Anyway, I’ve also thought quite a lot about who Black Beauty is about. The line “I dye my hair a darker shade of brown” hints obviously at Barrie. (or did she ever dye her hair dark before? I don’t think so.) So we could say BB is about Barrie and that’s it. (another random thing that caught my eye right now: Black Beauty – Barrie. But that doesn’t mean anything I guess.) But for me the chorus gives rise to doubts because I think it's more a dark and depressed song. Like some others said before: I feel sorry for barrie, i would feel hell bad hearing thise songs, pretty on par with like reading her diary lolBlack beauty sounds like she's depressed with the relationship, she seems happy with barrie he dosent seem like he would be so dark and unloving towards her I was thinking the same thing about Black Beauty. It sounds like the lover is depressed and doesn't know how to appreciate life and I don't get that vibe from Barrie. Well, I really don’t know anything about Barrie’s psychological state but to me he doesn’t seem that sad or depressed too. So I'm not sure if BB is really about him but right now I'd rather say it's not. Or maybe she’s mixing things up. Or maybe the song is actually about idk … K or whoever and she puts that dark-hair-reference in it to hide it from Barrie and make him think it’s about him. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel 3,176 Posted July 31, 2013 I really love all of this but I do personally think some of the stuff I've read here are a little too far-fetched. Not everything she writes is auto-biographical, I believe. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotelHoney 304 Posted July 31, 2013 has anyone tied Black Beauty to TV in black and white? It's like a prequel/sequel or maybe from someone else's perspective. I'm 90% sure that BB is not autobiographical. No proof, just a gut feeling. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lola 6,622 Posted July 31, 2013 black beauty sounds more like it's about k imo. the only thing that points to it being about barrie is the part about dying her hair but maybe she died her hair darker when she was younger? she also died her hair brown from platinum blonde around...2011? so maybe it's about a guy she dated before barrie since they started dating in august 2011 but i think they may have only started seriously dating sometime mid to late 2012. she was still sleeping on her ex's couch in 2012 and we only started seeing them together regularly late 2012. all of that black leather wedding dress and black house doesn't sound very barrie-esque to me, he's a grungey cowboy. i'm not sure who black beauty is about, maybe k, maybe jimmy, maybe arthur, maybe another guy that was depressed and into heavy metal/rock. 7 Quote Caesar said he’d fall in love with me if I was older.

TrailerParkDarling 5,680 Posted July 31, 2013 I think when she talks about dying her hair, her wedding dress, etc. in Black Beauty she's talking about present day~ she does it to honor him. And it also sounds as though its her way of mourning him~ making her outer self seem dark to match his inner self 8 Quote *** People call me crazy but I'm in demand *** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ednafrau 831 Posted July 31, 2013 I wonder how Barrie feels about her still writing about her exes...I'm a jealous person so I'd be pretty uspet it's good that he's a musician as well. lana said in an interview that she and barrie both felt, once they'd found each other, that all of their past love songs were resignified and became about each other 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrailerParkDarling 5,680 Posted July 31, 2013 most of the inspiration behind lana's writing is about video games. she used to be a video game nerd, hence video games.mp3 ~gamer girl~ that song is about a guy she met while playing video games online. if she stopped playing, their luv stopped too! </3 gimme them gold coins mafiosi hit type she also had a love affair with GAS STATIONS, especially one named K. it's where she got her beloved diet mountain dew after all close tha thread! i figured it all out! im bored at work sry 28 Quote *** People call me crazy but I'm in demand *** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
