notthatdreamy

wild caged animal lying by the swimming pool losing all my power - this is such a powerful sentence like  she did that fr

She said, 'Most men don't want a woman with a legacy, it's of age'
She said, 'You can't be a muse and be happy, too 
You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy'
And that scared me
 
I really like Lana's vocal delivery with these verses 

i don't have to talk taste for you, mamma 

love you, i do, stay here, i won't
the stars fade from your eyes
 
look at you smokin' in them neon lights
under the thunder, yo, you look so nice
 
gimme coffee, utah love
i'm the kinda girl you dream of
 
a.m.e.r.i.c.a
all i wanna do is play
 
the way your face is shaped, i wonder if you know?
the way you stand up and your silhouette glows?
i'm electified, i'll be up all night, now
 
and you salute me, miss america
because i am, i am
 
lights, camera, acción
you know i can't make it on my own
 
say i make you feel like
like you did, like you did, when you were thirteen
say i make you feel like, when you were the dirty heavy metal king
 
you have to take me right now
from this dark trailer park life, now
 
i need you like a baby when i hold you
like a druggie, like i told you

you look like a florida native
are you? i said, at the rate of
slow molasses from the state of vermont
with a southern drawl
 
record executive, i
need you to live, i
someone come replace you
should i happen to meet you
downtown, or see you
i would fall down dead, i'm
bereaved by you
bereaved be you
 
in blue denim, i meet you
barefoot, i need you
diamond horseshoe, sparklin'
you my king jewish maven
kids on vacation
florida keys are calling
come back to me
come back to me
 
i couldn't hide my smile from you as i
stopped to breath exhaust from the tail-pipe
 
and i could change my name, go back to gold lamé
just like the good old days, tangos and tanqueray
nothing can hurt me now. nothing can hurt me now
nothing can hurt me now, nothing can hurt me

"I tried so hard to act nice like a lady, you taught me that it was good to be crazy" - lucky ones
 
"Yet still inside I felt alone for reasons unknown to me" - old money
 
"I keep my lips red to seem like cherries in the spring" - black beauty
 
"Singing soft grunge just to soak up the noise" - music to watch boys to
 
"I believe that you see me for who I am so spill my clothes on the floor of your new car" - love song (i interpret this one as like an i know u love me for who i am and not my body but ur still allowed to fuck me like a slut in a pickup truck since i know u love me - which is actually so sweet i love this song sm her vocal delivery is chefs kiss)

pretty much all of the may jailer lyrics

What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?

What are your favorite Lana lyrics that people don't talk about often, or that people say are bad, but you like them?
 
For Me-
 
Born to Die 
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get, scared that I couldn't find
All the answers honey
 
Angels Forever, Forever Angels
Does the ocean inspire, easy rider?
Do the stars and the wind, take you higher?
 
I Can Fly
I had a dream that I was fine
I wasn't crazy, I was divine
 
Cruel world
Get a little bit of bourbon in ya
Get a little bit suburban and go crazy
 
Happiness is a Butterfly
Dropped a pin to my parking spot
The bar was hot, it's 2am
It feels like summer
 
 

Half of these lyrics are looking camp right in the eye and if you get it you get it, if you don't you don't 

"With your big eyes and your big lies" ????? really
 
"Throw me in the sky like a pizza pie" and "favourite sweater" lyric always stressed me out

besides the ones already mentioned here, the ones that come to my mind are:
 
“L is for the love that you gave and took away
O is for the only one I wanted to stay
V is for my valiant Valium baby
E is for the x that we took with champagne”
(Beautiful Player)
 
”Was Bittersweet, to say the least
One life begins, one comes undone
Ive always been a strong woman of faith
Strong like a tree, but the unlucky one”
and
”it’s always been that way with me
No time for change, no time for fun
its always been that way, it seems
One love begins, one comes done”
(Fine China)
 
”You know sometimes I think Gods playing a game with me
Looking down from heaven, laughing
Trying to see how much I can take
Because the way things go it’s like a joke
Nobody’s had more shots to the moon missed than me”
(and the rest of Tired of singing the blues)
 
”Yo, our friends think it’s sad living so bad
Im always crying, he’s always mad
Our life is a mess, always a shame
’what do they see in each other?’ They say
Met him at the club
And from that night on
Called me his princess, right on!
I'm his little ex-beauty queen
Never going back to where I've been”
(Hey You)
 
”Jerry says that anytime I think I have a good idea
That I should to the opposite of whatever it is I feel
Thats because I have a bad mind
And I got gold in my veins
But he says I’ve got the purest heart
That he’s ever seen”
(You’re Gonna Love Me)
 
“They say I’m wasting time, they say that I’m no good
Summer of my life not doing what I should
Call me poison ivy cause I’m far from good
Pretty from afar, like a dark star
They say I’m dangerous, they think I’m really bad
im just making up for what I never had
Go out every night whenever I feel sad
All this drive-by love got me crazy like a drug
I wear my red lipstick, got my makeup on
Stumble into trouble, siren with a sad song
They all got girlfriends, but I’m the one that they want”
(Driving in cars with boys - demo version)
 
”Paradise is a hell-coloured flamed sky”
(Angels forever)
 
”I got the ice, you got the fire
I got the stuff to take you higher
Thats how you sang it
I got the brains, you got the money
this is a race, let’s go first honey
thats how we played it”
(Dark Paradise - demo version)
 
“Hawaiian tropic dark, and a bottle of Jack
In the Cadillac as I drive down the highway 
You aren’t coming back and I know that now
So I let the wind hit me in my face”
(Hawaiian Tropic)
 
”I’m your girl next door, let me come in
I know I go go dance, but I do it for kicks
ill never have to work cause my daddy is rich“
(Go Go Dancer)
 
”You see me hanging around down the edges of town, I could be bad for you
And honey don’t think about chasing this girl around, I could be bad for you
And anywhere you go, I will follow
Even if it’s only in spirit baby
but honey you should go by tomorrow
i predict that shits gonna get real crazy
Leave while you still can, before I take you down
Boy there’s still a chance for you to get out now”
(Hanging around)
 
“Let’s chance our DNA
You the king mafia baby
Im the queen of alchemy
i know a way to make gold by mixing our souls to escape reality”
(Heavy Hitter)
 
 
 

“If I call you on the telephone, I might overdose / ‘cus I’m strong but I’m lonely / like Marilyn Monroe” is an all-timer for me
 
and the rhythm of “Not since Bonnie & Clyde / was two kids so good at being bad, bad, bad / I’m flirtin’ with the checkout counter, baby / put the money in the bag” make it another absolute fave
 

"Slow burn, I'm hot like a fire / I’m sober but you're still getting higher"
- Unidentified Flying Bill
 
"I tell you all the time, get yourself in line / Tired of waiting, tired of crying"
- Hey Blue Baby

"singing for the gangsters, chasing all that paper, living life so dangerously
and there's nothing for my anger, money is my savior, i can be whatever i think
it's like heaven, heaven, living on the edge, never know where i'm going to be
and i'm dreading never settling down, that's when dying is beginning to gleam"
 
also, because fuck y'all:
 
"oh, how i like the way you say my name
do you like the way i say yours, too?
okay, you like the games that i play
rollercoaster, coca-cola, crystal methamphetamine"
 

All the roses are red, and Jupiter too. 
I’m lying in my nightgown making confessions to you. 
It’s all over now, baby blue.
And all my secrets are out, I told them all to you. 

If you wanna get high with me
I'm in the back doin' crack, drinkin' p-p-pepsi
Omg godly! 

She’ll never let you down
youre hot then she’ll bring you water
she wears a flower crown
she is the people’s daughter
 
shes holy, holy
 
marias prayer, the dragonslayer 
she’s fighting fire by the sea

My baby's on his last life darling, gotta watch him till the morning - Velvet Crowbar
 
You don't get it, you just don't get it, you already forgotten even though I just said it - St Tropez

Do you think i'll ever feel different than i do now 
Do you think i'll ever feel electric again 
Do you think i'll ever transform into the man god meant to make when he began 

Baby, you’re making me crazier than I am
So lately, I’ve been taking my violets, my oranges, my reds
Take the gun and put it to my head
So I forget, so I just forget again
You make me forget again
 

"Is the sun in your eyes, Easy Rider? Do the flame-colored skies light your fire?"  (or basically any of her nature imagery from "Angels Forever")

"He was just an American kid, liked rock and roll and wanted to have fun. He felt the same way all of us did, like probably he was the only one" from Lake Placid cuz I related in my youth~

I never meant to hurt you baby 
It’s so hard to be true
In this world, where everything’s so Black & Blue
 
I never meant to hurt you darling
It’s so hard to be good
In this world where you do what you know you shouldn’t 
 

When he’s bad he’s bad
But when he’s good no one’s better
Cus we’re a match made in heaven 
And this kind of love’s foreva
