Her and her man (well he's not really hers, she's his mistress) could even be seen as a Bonnie and Clyde type couple. Oh and he's a drug dealer! CLEANSE CLEANSE CLEANSE! She held onto someone who didn't love her the same. Shades of Cool - Lana becomes obsessive in some relationships and sometimes her lovers become her whole world. It also ends with some lines from Fucked My Way Up To The Top, more on that later!

The songs are mentioned because they represent things about her that aren't healthy that must be cleansed. The song name drops other works by Lana: Beautiful Liar, Raise Me Up, Video Games, Sirens (her first demo album), and Hundred Dollar Bill. Ultraviolence - Talks about Lana's experiences with an Alcoholic Anonymous cult ran by a man named Jim. Here's a list of things songs that feature Lana's cleansing and what exactly it cleansed: Now that we have the concept of Lana's personal purgatory and her Bad Boy/Daddy, we can move on to the cleansing that Lana's soul goes through. Woo hoo for time traveling and transporting through LA and Brooklyn by way of water! To cleanse her soul, she must also have a perfect lover: this guy is a Bad Boy/Daddy and those are Lana's favorite things! They're also Lana's past lovers all in the same person. How do we know this is the same guy? Well, in purgatory, your soul is being cleansed so you can go to heaven. And we're really in the future, this guy is OLD. When Lana is at the beach with him, she falls into the water and is transported to the "future" version of the guy. We are first introduced to this character in the West Coast video. This man is a combination of Lana's lovers. He doesn't have a stated name, and he isn't necessarily new. With the visuals we also meet a new character. It's fitting, since they both play a big part of her life. It's hard to tell now since a Brooklyn Baby video hasn't been officially released yet, but it seems Lana's purgatory is a combination of LA and Brooklyn. West Coast and Shades of Cool take place in LA, obviously, but in the iTunes video, Brooklyn Baby (a song which obviously takes place in Brooklyn) features settings from the West Coast video. So far there have only been two music videos released for the album, although there was an iTunes video which teases Ultraviolence (the song) and Brooklyn Baby videos. This is when the visuals of Ultraviolence come into play. Lana dies and joins The 27 Club along with some of her idols, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and Jim Morrison. The thing that Lana had to do to end it all was killing herself, specifically from a drug overdose.

Paradise features the song Gods & Monsters, which talks about all of that! Since then, though, she's seen the light again and has even said she prays everyday. Okay let me take a little break to talk about Lana's relationship with Jesus so you understand what's about to happen: Before BTD, probably around the time of AKA and a little while before, Lana had lost touch with God. It's thought this line is about Jim, but it could be Lana saying he's influenced her so much that she's become a hypocrite. Having a bible and a gun is pretty contradictory. "Got your bible, got your gun / And you like to party and have fun / And I like my candy and your women / I'm finally happy now that you're gone" Jimmy Gnecco is definitely the muse for this song, but what exactly did Lana have to do? Well, the next line gives us an idea of what she did: "Shared my body and my mind with you / That's all over now / Did what I had to do / Cause you're so far past me now / Shared my body and my life with you / That's way over now / There's not more I can do / You're so famous now" In the first verse of the first track on the album, Cruel World, Lana says: Lana has stated that Ultraviolence doesn't focus on a certain time in her life (BTD focused on her teen years, which consisted of her struggle with being a teenaged alcoholic, being sent to boarding school, and her lover (who I presume is Jimmy Gnecco)), rather it takes experiences from boyfriends, drugs, etc. I'll get to the ending later, but first I'll start with the beginning. Ultraviolence, Lana's 3rd studio album, doesn't really tell a linear story, but it does include a beginning and basically an intended end.
