    The phrase "more mountains" comes up in Lolita during Humbert's sort of catalog of their travels through America. Part two chapter two for the LanaBoards book club lel. Almost definitely a reach because it's such a small phrase (in context: "Distant mountains. Near mountains. More mountains; [insert detailed list of mountains]") but it's sort of interesting to note.

    Learning that this song was really just a fantasy somehow makes it that much better. It's more troubling.
     
    Aw I wonder if she knows or would visit

    Strap yourself into your chair if you must and get ready for Lana Del Rey's best song.

    I have one master playlist called "Miss America" that I listen to chunks of at a time, with like 86 songs...I won't share that.

    So here's why it's unfortunately about Lorde
     
    Life is awesome, I confess - Responding to Lorde's criticism of portraying a glamorous lifestyle that no can relate to. She confesses it's awesome, I guess.   What I do, I do it best You got nothing, I got tested And I passed, yes - In the game of alternative female pop singers, Lana professes that she does it best, and this amplified by the fact that she is successful even despite being "tested." She passed the test of public scrutiny, while Lorde didn't because she was immediately successful. Sense the jealousy here tbh   Lay me down tonight In my linen and curls Lay me down tonight Riviera girls - I know Lorde has curls etc but I think this is just a pretty nonsense Lana phrase. Of which she is full.   I fucked my way up to the top This is my show - Like it or not, kinda of a "nanana boo boo" in the face of Lorde's feminist message   I'm a drag and you're a whore - A little trickier. Maybe this is Lorde talking to her? Bc I can't see why she'd call Lorde a whore.   Don't even know what you're good for Mimicking me is a fucking bore to me - As far as mimicking, look to her new interview for the significance of the hip-hop sound of this song: "I would say the track having more of a hip hop heavier beat, whereas the rest of the album is live and organic…it kind of drives this one particular point home." Hip-hop influence is important here, something she and Lorde share. I mean plenty of sewer rats on LanaBoards.com have attempted to (unconvincingly) compare their sounds, and maybe Lana is surrounded by too many yes men and she believes this, too.   Need you, baby, like I breathe you, baby Need you, baby, more more more more - Here's the breakthrough and what's been getting all of us hung up. Why portray some kind of romance in a diss track? So we turn to Gaga, who likely fucked her boyfriend based on "So Legit"...but the rest of the equation doesn't match up. I think this part is mocking Lorde's particular gripe with "Without You": "She’s great, but I listened to that Lana Del Rey record and the whole time I was just thinking it’s so unhealthy for young girls to be listening to, you know: “I’m nothing without you.” This sort of shirt-tugging, desperate, don’t leave me stuff. That’s not a good thing for young girls, even young people, to hear." This line portrays exactly that desperation that Lorde was complaining about.       So is it a good look for Lana? No. But this shit is about Lorde let's begin facing that.

    Who believed she wrote a song called "Racism"?

    I'm just looking back over this thread and Jesus Christ if I had a time machine I'd definitely go back to 2007 to retrieve For Charlie and Dance Money. Then live a double life and film all her performances while a younger me goes through school without even knowing about this stuff available to download that he'd someday crave in 2013.
     
    Ugh like it's one thing that Roses or something is under lock and key but this was AVAILABLE jbgdsbjgsjk. Must avoid this thread.

    Baby has a broken heart
    She can’t belong to only one
    Until another girl is found
    I don’t pay for anything
    My cigarettes or diamonds rings
    My feet don’t even touch the ground

    Chariots of gold
    I ride with Jay-Z, Jared Leto
    I’m a superpower
    Now they call me the tornado
    I got roses in my hair, I belly dance and do the tango
    Sometimes I get lonely, everybody told me no

    No one lives forever, but that’s no reason to give up
    Don’t you wanna fall in love?
    No such thing as heaven
    And I’m the last girl on earth
    So baby, let’s get it on

    Cleopatra used to rule
    But she got nothing on me now
    ‘Cause I’m the last girl on earth
    I turn the television on
    They only play my favorite song
    Since I’m the last girl on earth

    Chariots of gold
    I’m sitting, sipping cherry cola
    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
    Sometimes I get lonely, millions can hold me now

    No one lives forever, but that’s no reason to give up
    Don’t you wanna fall in love?
    No such thing as heaven
    And I’m the last girl on earth
    So baby, let’s get it on

    I stay up late at night, try not to think about it
    Pretend I’m happy, ruling all the world without love
    I get so tired being on display somehow
    Sometimes I get lonely, millions all own me now

    No one lives forever, but that’s no reason to give up
    Don’t you wanna fall in love?
    No such thing as heaven
    And I’m the last girl on earth
    So baby, let’s get it on

    No such thing as heaven
    And I’m the last girl on earth
    So baby, let’s get it on

    The extra lyrics and gentler vocals make this song suddenly feel so intimate I can't help but think of this and Wayamaya as two sides of a coin. I can just imagine her and her man driving to the Jersey Shore but pretending they were going Hawaii and coming up with their alter egos Lana and Ray This also really clarifies a lot of the ocean references in other songs, too; of course she created such a strong association with this first love who is still in her stage name today
     
    I also never really got the "Ray and his girls" lyric but with all this in mind it kinda makes it seem like he's telling her about this fantasy they've created together.

    BYE I sincerely doubt she'd have a better reaction to you objectifying her (which she is so outspokenly against like tf!) than our obsessive appreciation of her craft.
     
    Dedicated ass reading our whole thread and keeping a catalog of our behavior to try to throw back at us though who's creepy?

    Okay here's why we're on a forum for Lana Del Rey doing Lanalysis and not Taylorswiftalysis. Most of this stuff is up in the air, as much as many of us accept it as fact. A majority of this thread is discussion of intuition based on stuff that Lana has handed us. The invasive stuff like Facebook posts is unfortunate, but it would be negligent and unrealistic as fans to ignore stuff once it's there in front of your face. Beyond that, I'm wondering what you think is too personal to discuss? Gogo dancing? Addiction? Sleeping around? Famous boyfriends? Most of that stuff is derived from her lyrics.
     
    Gogo dancing:
    - I'm your gogo dancer.
    - Watch me dance for other guys.
    - Disco, gogo dancer so rare.
    - Motel singer or the silver pole.
    - All the men are watching, the crowd is cheering.
     
    Drug addiction:
    - Get Drunk
    - A GQ interview she knew would be published
     
    Sleeping around:
    - Making Out
    - I know your wife, she wouldn't mind
     
    Famous boyfriends:
    - I said hey, Jimmy Gnecco, I like the way your name echo (a name drop if I've ever heard one)
     
    Yeah, this list includes leaked songs, but note I didn't cite any examples from her very personal home demos.
     
    I understand where this thread makes people uncomfortable but to that point I'd recommend avoiding it. Many people do. I can only tell you that the intention is to only use information that's on the world wide web in this thread, despite a wealth of other sources, including but not limited to interaction with some of the subjects on the part of our more zealous members.
     
    I hope you find an appreciation for Lanalysis but if you don't I hope it doesn't continue to bother you too much. Hope I helped illuminate something.

    Damn this thread only coming across my radar now...But interested in this bunch of stuff!
    Curious about Josh and what confirmation we might've gotten of this since again I haven't paid attention in a long time!
    Highkey I gave up on it long ago because I'm a perfectionist and it's a kii the amount of speculation in the original post when all these men that were confirmed to be associated later on were never mentioned in the early days. But stuff like this makes me long for the free time I had as a 17 year old to piece everything together again.
     
     
    Sorry for the bumps guys somehow the Wild One leak led me here! That Mike name-drop....

    What do you guys think of "A pin-up in the lonely sky" versus "I been up in the lonely sky"?
     
    Anyway, I think it's really clever how she plays on the definition of a pin-up girl with "You can pin me up if you like"--like, you stick butterflies with pins. Anyway.
