| Lana Del Rey – Off to the Races Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
You are utterly crazy. She says she has lived in a trailer park for part of her life, doing community work for those coping with alcohol/drug addiction, she studied metaphysics (philosophy). She did state that her dad didn't pay for her to get into the business like so many people think and that most things written about her are lies. It is true, I don't know anything for sure. None of us do. We don't know her in real life. I think people get a weird vibe from Lana because I believe she has Borderline Personality Disorder. No offence to Lana, I'm just stating a belief I have about her, and I adore her. I happen to know a lot about BPD. That 'unstable sense of self' is very common in Borderline people. And I could go on.. |

Thank you for saying this!! i love you, haha. As a woman who fell in love with someone of the same sex this song perfectly encapsulates so many aspects if it. I can really relate to it. There's the passion and the intense emotion the desperation, neediness, the obsession. But there's also the GUILT. Others haven't really picked up on that as much. Lots of religious imagery, feeling like your a monster, but you just can't control it, like the saints can't help you.. love this song! So intense and POETIC!! |

| Lana Del Rey – Get Drunk Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this song is definitely about her alcohol problems (she was sent to a boarding school at 14 because of alcohol addiction,, like getting drunk at home alone, it was serious). The lines 'I am sleeping with your best friend, how do you like me now' are her saying if she admitted that she has alcohol problems people wouldn't like her. It's so blunt and sudden that I believe her sleeping with someone's best friend is an example of something that someone wouldn't like, that they would be shocked to hear, just like her addiction - it's a metaphor for her addiction. She tells them bluntly and she's like 'how do you like me now?' Knowing that if they really knew the extent of her problem they wouldn't like her that much. She's then coaxing someone else to get drunk with her because if someone else is too, it would make her feel less bad about being drunk herself. It's also a secretive thing 'won't tell no one about it', so she knows it's something to feel guilty about. She tells herself over and over that it will be fun, partly to try to convince them but also to convince herself that it's all just fun and games and her alcohol dependancy isn't real/serious. The next line supports this idea of lying to herself and others - "I am lying, using again". She's lying to herself about the seriousness of her problem, and she's lying to other people about it. The term 'using' is often used in reference to taking drugs. The bridge talks about smoking and drugs 'cigarettes and robitussin' and asking herself will she ever get to heaven? I.e. this stuff makes her a bad person, is there any redemption for her, is she just a bad person plain and simple. She seems to know the answer so it was a rhetorical question. The chances of her getting into heaven aren't good. In other words she's too messed up for her to fix herself or be redeemed. The song ends with the chorus which is one of denial. She doesn't want to know what's good for her, she's too addicted. Therefore she's caught in a vicious cycle of addition and it's easier to just pretend everything's okay than to try and overcome it. She obviously doesn't think she can. A song about addiction, and therefore very sad, because addiction is horrible - can make you feel so enslaved and chained and can destroy your life and the lives of others. A very raw and honest song about it. Beautiful. |

| Lana Del Rey – Carmen Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Pretty sure the song is about herself. I'm not sure why it's called Carmen, is there a reason for that? Love this song because it reminds me someone. Well Lana herself reminds me a lot of this person...they're very similar | |
