LifeisBeautiful

I don't have any particular opinion on Franco but, DAMN, do I relate to the idea that Lana created her own world to escape from the disappointment of this one.  That's basically what I have done all my life in my writing.

I often facepalm at Lana's lyrics (but I have some tattooed on me as well...) LOL.
 
I fucking hate every reference to "your golden grill."  I also think the lyrics to "Stoplite Delite" are dumb, especially:
 
"Fly body, dope in the face."
 
I thought the song was really cute and catchy till I caught myself singing that godawful line.

Love this song.  It's actually a lot deeper than most people think, juxtaposed with Whitman's poem.  I always viewed it as being about a sad woman, who obviously has lost someone, and is trying to find happiness ie. her soul through her physical body.  I like how, in the beginning, the religious members of society (Mary) are praying for her because they believe that's the wrong way to live, but convert to the other side at the end.  It's very dark and tragic but hopeful at the same time.

These lyrics are epically good at capturing both the love and hate involved in a mentally destructive relationship. I really appreciate the feelings of desperation here, that the only escape is through drugs and, ultimately, in one person simply killing himself. Tragic. Beautiful.

I am crazy about "Hollywood's Dead" right now. The chorus is so damn good and I can't stop singing "You're sickeningly beautiful." Wish she would make a more orchestral version and release it.

Ok, that's true of the lyrics you posted.  It's a Third Eye Blind type of thing.  I guess, if she had released music like that from the beginning, I would have accepted that dynamic.  But now I'm way too into what she does best (which, IMO, is the whole of UV).

I've made a few, but my favorite is titled:
 
LDR's MOST DEPRESSING SHIT
1 ) Video Games
2) Ride
3) Summertime Sadness
4) I Don't Wanna Go
5) Old Money
6) Young and Beautiful
7) Pawn Shop Blues
8) Pretty When You Cry
9) Oh Say Can You See
10) Born to Die
11) Gods & Monsters
12) Black Beauty
13) Is This Happiness
14) Your Band Is All the Rage
15) Sad Girl
 
This is basically the soundtrack to all of my lonely, late nights

Dark Paradise is too fast for the subject matter.  And I hate that "Dead like you" line.  So corny

Unpopular opinion or not?-  This Is What Makes Us Girls is actually a great story song.

I would kiss Lana for sure, like you're gonna pass that chance up out of respect.  Oh, hell no!  LOL.  I mean I respect Lana greatly and think she's slightly crazy for doing this with fans, but imagine the stories you'd have.  And what if you wound up getting some virus from her?  You could tell everyone that you got ill from making out with Lana Del Rey 

Thanks, Littlefool!
