Lyrics to our favorite songs have a way to move us, especially when it’s someone who is singing with such wisdom and passion. Lana Del Rey is not only amazingly awesome, but her songs are always on point.
Here are 13 lyrics from Lana Del Rey that makes us love her so much:
13.) “The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime,”
– Born to Die
Lana sheds some advice to her listeners by writing this. Her crazy lifestyle tells her fans that if she can get through life and have fun while doing so, we should too. The road is long, but you have to stay calm and move on.
12.) “My motto is the same as ever: ‘I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself I ride, I just ride.'”
– Ride
The best escape, is to physically escape, and driving will do just that. Lana’s motto tells us that it’s okay to be at war with ourselves, and sometimes you just have to escape. She writes that she believes in random acts of kindness and that’s what makes the world go ’round.
11.) “Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?”
– Young and Beautiful
Everyone is scared they will lose their lover when they age. They hope that their significant other isn’t just in it for their looks, and all they’re looking for is someone to love them for who they are, not what they look like.
10.) “I’m your little scarlet, starlet, swinging in the garden, kiss me on my open mouth, ready for you,”
– Off to the Races
Like many of her other songs, this sultry tune is about her lover at the time. The way the words bounce off each other plus Lana’s raspy voice makes this cute and simultaneously sultry.
