PARADIXO

Choose a Lyric to Define Each Era

Recommended Posts

Little game.

 

Y'all have to choose one lyric from each record to define the message and/or aesthetic Lana was going for.

 

I'll start:

 

Born to Die

"Blue jeans, white shirt

Walked into the room
You know you made my eyes burn

It was like James Dean"

 

Paradise

"I don't really want to know what's good for me

God's dead
I said, 'baby that's alright with me'"

 

Ultraviolence

"I can't do nothing about his strange weather

[...] 'Cause you live in shades of cool"

 

Honeymoon

"We both know that it's not fashionable to love me

But you don't go

'Cause, truly, there's nobody for you but me"

 

Lust for Life

"There's a change gonna come

I don't know when or where

But whenever it does

We'll be here for it"

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell!

"Give me Hallmark

One dream, one life, one lover

Paint me happy and blue

Norman Rockwell

No hype under our covers"

Ooo. Fab topic. I'm going to not think this through too much, and just go with what my pHEnOmENoLoGicAL response of what evoked the feel for me.

 

Born to Die

"Think I'll miss you forever,

like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.
Later's better than never,

even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive"

 

Paradise

"I am fucking crazy 

but I am free"

 

(or, if we're sticking to song lyrics)

"I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy. 
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes"

 

Ultraviolence

"Heaven is on earth,

I would do anything for you and me.

Blessed is this union,

crying tears of gold like lemonade."

 

Honeymoon

"I lost myself when I lost you . . .
And I still get trashed, baby,

when I hear your tunes"

 

Lust for Life

"I hope that I come back one day
To tell you that I really changed"

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell!

"Why wait for the best,

when I can have you? YOOOOUUUUUUU!!!??!?!"

Born To Die:

Feet, don't fail me now, take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart, it breaks, every step that I take

But I'm hoping, at the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine

Paradise:

You got that medicine I need; fame, liquor, love

Give it to me, slowly

Ultraviolence:

I'm pretty when I cry

Honeymoon:

I lost myself when I lost you

Lust For Life:

There's a change gonna come
I don't know where or when

But whenever it does, we'll be here for it

Norman Fucking Rockwell:

Don't ask if I'm happy; you know that I'm not

Born To Die


 


"Relying on the kindness of strangers, tyin' cherry knots, smilin', doin' party favors,


Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on, sing your song, song, now the camera's on


And you're alive again"


 


 


Paradise


 


"I've been out on that open road, you can be my full time daddy, white and gold"


 


 


Ultraviolence


 


"I paint the house black, my wedding dress black leather, too


You have no room for light, love is lost on you"


 


 


Honeymoon


 


"Put on that Hotel California, dance around like I'm insane


I feel free when I see no one, and nobody knows my name"


 


 


Lust For Life


 


"I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't sick of it"


 


 


Norman Fucking Rockwell!


 


"Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have


But I have it, 


Yeah I have it,


Yeah I have it,


I have"

Born To Die

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?

 

Paradise

Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
 
Ultraviolence
My baby lives in shades of cool
Blue heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women, too
I'm one of many, bonnies blue
 
Honeymoon
We could cruise to the blues
Wilshire Boulevard if we choose
Or whatever you want to do
We make the rules
 
Lust For Life
You get ready, you get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Back to work or the coffee shop
Doesn't matter 'cause it's enough
To be young and in love
 
 
Norman F*cking Rockwell
And who I've been is with you on these beaches
Your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness
Maybe I could save you from your sins

Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

Born to Die


Your soul is haunting me

And telling me

That everything is fine

But I wish I was dead

 


Paradise


We get down every Friday night,

Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight.

Grand Ole Opry, we're feelin’ alright,

Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind

 


Ultraviolence


You’re a hard man to love and I'm

A hard woman to keep track of

You like to rage, don’t do that

You want your way, you make me so mad

 


Honeymoon


Put on that Hotel California,

Dance around like I'm insane,

I feel free when I see no one,

And nobody knows my name

 


Lust for Life



I never really noticed that I had to decide

To play someone's game or live my own life

And now I do, I wanna move


 


Norman Fucking Rockwell!


But sometimes, girls just want to have fun

The poetry inside of me is warm like a gun

Born To Die:

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why

 

Paradise:

In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel
Living in the garden of evil

 

Ultraviolence:

Down on the West Coast I get this feeling
Like it all could happen that's why I'm leaving
You for the moment

 

Honeymoon:

We both know that it's not fashionable to love me
But you don't go 'cause truly there's nobody for you but me

 

Lust For Life:

Maybe it's enough to just be where we are because
Every time that we run
We don't know what it's from
Now we finally slow down
We feel close to it

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell:

One dream, one life, one lover


I never meant to be bad or unwell I was just living on the edge right between heaven and hell & I'm tired of it

That's actually some pretty good lines to describe the album when I think about it. Nice!

Born To Die


Come on, take a walk on the wild side


Let me fuck you hard in the pouring rain


 


Paradise


In the land of gods and monsters 


I was an angel


Looking to get fucked hard

This is my show


I fucked my way up to the top


Go, baby, go


 


Honeymoon


When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray


Hallelujah


 


Lust For Life


I'm cryin' while I'm cummin'


Makin' love while I'm makin' good money

I'll do AKA too because why not? :fact:

 

Lana Del Ray AKA Lizzy Grant:

Just do what you love, just do what you can

Just do what you love, do it better than

 

Born To Die:

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
 
Paradise:
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind.

(I said don't worry about it)

 

Ultraviolence (that was hard :creep: ):

I was filled with poison

But blessed with beauty and rage

 

Honeymoon:

But I lost myself when I lost you
But I still got jazz when I've got those blues
And I lost myself when I lost you
And I still get trashed, darling, when I hear your tunes

 

Lust For Life:
It doesn't matter if I'm not enough
For the future or the things to come
'Cause I'm young and in love
I'm young and in love

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell:

You lose your way, just take my hand

You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
I'm your man
I'm your man

AKA (desert highways, sensuality):
Hello, heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights
On a dark night
 
Born to Die (Hollywood, Lolita):
Swimming pool
Glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool
Bright blue ripples, you
Sitting sipping on your Black Cristal, oh yeah
 
Ultraviolence (dark, bitter, 4am swaying):
But I can't fix him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather
But you are invincible
I can't break through your world
 
Honeymoon (Cinematic, Lynchian/almost surreal, romantic):
There are violets in your eyes
There are guns that blaze around you
There are roses in between my thighs
And a fire that surrounds you
 
Lust for Life (looking outward):
It doesn't matter if I'm not enough
For the future or the things to come
'Cause I'm young and in love
I'm young and in love
 
NFR (volatile synchronicity of love and nature, a devolving culture and devolving relationship):
You're scared to win, scared to lose
I've heard the war was over if you really choose
The one in and around you
You hate the heat, you got the blues
Changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you
The Santa Ana moves you

Born To Die

"Tell me life is beautiful, they think that I have it all:

I have nothing without you

All my dreams and them lights mean

Nothing without you"

 

Paradise

"Come on baby, let's ride

We can escape to the great sunshine"

Everybody knows that I'm a mess, I'm crazy, yeah yeah

Get a little bit of Bourbon in ya

Get a little bit suburban and go crazy"

 

Honeymoon

But you don't go cause truly there's nobody for you but me"

 

Lust For Life

"Finally, gone is the burden

Of the Crowley way of being

That comes from energies combined"

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell!

I ain't no candle in the wind"

Born to Die

We both know just what we're here for, saved too many times

 

Paradise

It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby

 

Ultraviolence

Yet still inside I felt alone for reasons unknown to me

 

Honeymoon

I'm on my own again....

 

Lust for Life

I'm doing it for all of us who never got the chance

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell

But don't leave, I just need a wake-up call

A.K.A

The headlights from passing cars
They illuminate my face, and
Leave me in the dark

 

Born To Die 

Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom
Chateau Marmont
Slipping on my red dress, putting on my make up
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac
Fumes, says it feels like heaven to him

 

Paradise 

I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channeling angels in a new age now

 

Ultraviolence 

But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep
The other woman will never have his love to keep
And as the years go by the other woman
Will spend her life alone...

 

Honeymoon

The world can change in a day if you go away, but
Nothing could stop the two of us
If that's what we want, we could just get lost

 

Lust For Life 

I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game or live my own life and now I do
I want to move
Out of the black, Into the blue 

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell 

They mistook my kindness for weakness
I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus
Can't a girl just do the best she can?

“My pussy tastes like pepsi cola”
