Deadcrush:
Like a crush of love, that is completely turned over and become an obssession without reason.
I agreed the first verse comes to Lee Miler, mistress of Man Ray in 1929, who was also a photographer. The had a dominant affair with some works of Lee Miler as student and apprentice were signed and attributed to Man Ray...
But this relation is just a partial metaphor...
I think this song is about a girl named Anna, only presented far in the song, when metaphor is no longer imposed and she become present.
She is super beautiful with "Extraordinarily pretty teeth" with "Beauty lingers out of reach"
Anna is treated as an anime superhero, unfourtunetly in the wrong comic book, as
"You're my DC oh Lee, oh"
"You're my DC oh Anna, oh"
meaning she is a DC superhero, and not a Stan Lee Marvel superheros, and not in the same universe.
She just arrive LA super pretty and of course was dragged by porn industry/prostitution as a second hand for an actress carreer, as always.
This is where Lee Miler metaphor also comes in place as she was a great photographer (movie industry) and model, but was more known as being a misterss and model (sex) and muse of Man Ray.
Then we have the Chorus
"Swim low
In the back dry in the night", só she need to do what she needs to do without waves, and with understand it's dry and black as night.
Make money out of it ("Sample")
"Put it there" This is porn language (dick/pussy), "get the money (watch me now)" receive payment and see movie afterwards.
Making some scores in free time "In the back of a Volvo car"
Make money out of it ("Sample")
"Hold over" be strong
"Pay up, sign up, LA"
Like rotine living in LA porn...
We get going describing a bit of the character
"Anna Bolina
Maid of honour
Not your sister, fearful temper"
Like Lee Miler's, she is an
"Unknown artist", pretty and her beauty was taken away "Took your likeness" by a king of money "Henry Tudor left you lifeless, yeah".
And this is among with the Chorus what I interpret as porn...
"Keepa, keepa, keepa, keep me damn down"
As putting her in submission
"Let it low" in self-steem
"Let me know where you go (watch me now)"
Telling a director what she need to do (to watch it after)
"Papa, papa, papa
Get me down" would be as a blow job position
"Deep, deep down" as an amazing deep shag
"How low? Let me know"
Tell me mr. director/man of money how low should my head go, how low should my self-steem go.
"If you don't have the ace of hearts
My dear, you're a lost man (oh)"
If she doesn't able to capture pimp/director heart she will soon be forgotten.
"Falcon for you, Anna, from the left arm of the falconer
Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna L'Arlésienne"
She is the money making for a falconer/pimp who is using her to catch money/glitter things out of his reach.
Then we have the Chorus
And again as rotine.
The last "Watch me now" is not in parêntesis and in my opinion she get out of if and gives hope to a song.
It's kind of a turn over and everything is OK.
Alternative:
I see this as sex (porn or prostitution), but one can see the same as drug addiction for a failling actress carreer where all low and deep can be by drug drag...
