Favourite Lana Lyrics

[Quincy 3,817]

You could be a bad motherfucker,

but that don’t make you a man.

[Embach 34,032]

"And all the ways I got to know - your pretty face and electric soul" is one of her prettiest lyrics ever 

[violentvioletsky 1,419]

You roll like thunder, you're tryna catch that wind
That lightning in the bottle, that moonbeam in your hand

And you try to see the bright side when each new day begins
But you're not satisfied at the rainbows end

But you're not satisfied at the rainbows end

These are one of her most relatable yet crewtive yet simple yet beautiful yet poetry lyrics ever, this song hits every time I listen to it, especially the rock version

[sweet cereal killer 250]

There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist

He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth

 

 

 

[violentvioletsky 1,419]

Serving up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad
Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad
Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi, Dad"

[honey dew 11,174]

Imagine if we actually gave a fuck

Wouldn’t that be something to talk about for us?

[honeymooncd 3,737]

I'm a princess, I'm divisive, ask me why, why, why I'm like this, maybe I'm just kinda like this, I don't know, maybe I'm just like this

[venice biotch 5,773]

When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
But, sometimes, it's just not your time

[sparklrtrailrheaven 8,961]

Scowlin' like the sunshine set on Sarasota
Happy like a twister over Oklahoma
Clear as Benny Mason lying in a coma
This is how I feel when all my hurt is over

[Dark City 2,781]

I’m like you wanted, take it for you

blue is the bluest color I knew

tell me you want me, lie like you should 

 

[laurita 1,645]

I drive fast, radio blares, have to touch myself to pretend you're there

Your hands were on my hips, your name is on my lips

Over over again, like my only prayer

[taco truck 31,253]

Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tryna take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey

[meIanchoIia 705]

Are you gonna hurt me now?
Or are you gonna hurt me later?

 

and

 

I don't really want to die
I just want the pain to be over

 

[Make me your Dream Life 85,773]

Your poetry's bad, and you blame the news ~ 

Who am I to care? When no one gave a damn? 

This is what makes us girls, we all look for heaven and we put love first, something that we die for, it's a curse (don't cry about it, don't cry about)

No one's gonna take my soul away, I'm livin like Jim Morrison 

Tell me I'm your national anthem.

Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue. 


Discuss. 

[Embach 34,032]

You said I was the most exotic flower, holding me tight in our final hour

 

You smell like a million roses bathed in rock 'n' roll, ours was the greatest love story ever told

[Daytona Beach Sparkler 4,396]

We drive, we drive
You say you wanna go swimming in my rain
It's green and shimmering
Like my lipstick, the color of dawn
Like my lipstick, the color of dawn

[Ice Cream Ice Queen 1,931]

I can’t pick only one so instead here’s my top 8 in no particular order 

 

 

I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma

Tell me do you think that's wrong?

”Dont cry, honey, crazy girl

Don’t you know you are the world?

Every time you feel unsure 

Try rememberin’ what you are”

~

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows

~

Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart, please

I don't really wanna know what's good for me

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

~

Oh, what can I do?

Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue

Sun and ocean blue

Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

~

I'm flyin' to the moon again, dreamin' about heroin

How it gave you everything and took your life away

I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land

I hoped that you'd come back again

And tell me everything's okay

~

They mistook my kindness for weakness

I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus

Can't a girl just do the best she can?

~

If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst

That could happen to a girl who's already hurt?

I'm already hurt

If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed

Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt

He's already hurt

~

Think by the third of March, I was cracked open

Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open

Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me

There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi

[Without You 2,313]

Everytime I close my eyes

It’s like a dark paradise 

~

I never really noticed that I had to decide,

To play someone’s game or live my own life 

[The Sun Also Rises 4,674]

Reading through these and just cementing the truth: Lana is the greatest songwriter of our generation
