LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships

[Sitar 22,173]

I think Burning Desire is about Barrie and Lucky Ones, of course

 

And I see where Ride could fit in, as well. I think they r so cute

 

This begs the question...when was "Lucky Ones" written? Because she's obviously not been dating Barrie that long (maybe a year at this point?), and all we know "Radio" was the last song written for Born to Die.

 

"Burning Desire" is pretty nonspecific, but nothing about it is particularly sad, so I could get with that.

 

*confession*

 

I've never listened to the whole of burning desire.

 

Every time I listen to it I kind of hate it and change to another song halfway through..

Everyone's agreed it's a grower, give it a chance.

Normally I listen and listen to a song I don't like until I like it, but I don't know, I just can't listen to it! I really don't like it. Tonight I'll have it on loop and see if it will grown on me... I'm not convinced

Y'all know that a song is about Barrie when Emile incorporate bagpipes tunes.

Good point, though--I guess we can rule out "American".

American is in fact the most plausible :imbeingsarcasticbitch2:

 

Your skin so golden brown~, beyond the dope Lee Brown, like an American..

Barrie's skin is not so golden brown.

I think you are reading waaay too much into all of this. My friend is a songwriter, and while he writes from experience, he also writes from the experiences of those around him, but makes them personal. If someone who didn't know him read them, they would assume it's all about him... he's inspired by friends, movies (and Lana is so inpired by film noir), news reports, books.. LIFE, just not always his.

I'm not sure if you were making a reference I'm too dumb to understand, but I'm pretty 100000% positive the lyrics are "Be young, Be dope, Be proud like an American."

that's usually true, but lana herself has said that her music is "100% autobiographical", which of course feeds our speculation. if she didn't throw clues around (and if she weren't so fascinating and hadn't lived such a full life) we wouldn't feel so compelled to try to piece together stories and people and associate them to her lyrics! bear in mind that some theories have been somewhat confirmed, while others are in the air or maybe just fantasies.

I think Neal's point is that the lyric is "like an American"

[lola 6,617]

If I was Barrie, I'd be kinda pissed. She's been singing about K and Jimmy for years and there are barely any/no songs about him, even now. I know she likes to reminisce but I think that's a little odd.

I HEART YOU BILL

ESPECIALLY YOU BABY

Ah Bill, no need to understand nuthin, why don't you just come stay in my pant's pocket more often.

Isn't Radio about him? Just thought that since it was the last song she wrote before releaseing BtD. And I think she said that it had to do with people liking her 'cause she was playing on the radio. Anyways, she said she'll always love that past love of hers, so Barrie should know that and just decided that it doesn't really do anything or something like that.
