i love that line bc I used to vape so it’s very personal & sentimental to me 

on a serious note though I love it bc vaping literally makes you feel sick, but you totally do reach for that vape when you feel sick. It’s like a vicious cycle 

wait omg. It's makes so much sense. it's really deep and thoughtful, i'm just really dumb

Okay, so the worst thing from Lana that I have ever read is this: 

 

 

Don't mind the translation under this, it's a polish version of Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass

this polish version makes it even worse 💀 wdepnelam w ptaszka łkałam w twoich ramionach like what the hell

 

As for me it's Taco truck lyrics  i love the x VB part but the 'pass me my vape I'm feeling sick' is not it.. 

She CAN do better like

'He had a cigarette with his number on it//I saved it, I waited, I called it' is iconic 

[Genesee 6,382]

some of y'all perplex me

"...and not simple, it's trigonometry, it's hard to express, I can't explain"

 

Relatable because I'm terrible at math but girl...

 

It's most likely a metaphor for a love triangle. Good lyric.

I paint the house black
My wedding dress black leather too

 

Heroin gold in my veins and you in my thoughts
I'm on the freeway racing at a million and I just can't stop

 

I get wild on you, baby
I get wild and fuckin' crazy like you never knew, knew, knew
I get wild on you, baby
I get wild and fuckin' crazy like the color blue, ooh-ooh

 

The world, it will turn
The only thing we'll turn is the pages of all of the poems we burned

 

Also...

 

[Verse 1]
Play house, put my favorite record on
Get down, get your crystal method on
You were like tall, tan, driving 'round the city
Flirtin' with the girls like, “you're so pretty”
"Springsteen is the King, don't ya think?"
I was like, "Hell yeah, that guy can sing"
Like ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Drive fast, I can almost taste it now
L.A., I don't even have to fake it now
You were like so sick, everybody said it
You were way ahead of the trend, get, get it
"Elvis is the best, hell yes"
"Honey, put on that party dress"
Like ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Everybody wants to go fast
But they can't compare
I don't really want the rest
Only you can take me there
I don't even know what I'm saying
But I'm praying for you

[Chorus]
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like an American

I respect putting American in here but I have to disagree with every other submission in this post

On paper those NotG lyrics are on the weaker end of Lana’s lyrics but the rest of the song’s lyrics and the delivery is enough to compensate for them imo

whatttt, i searched for this topic but couldn’t find it, my bad.

also i thought y’all would comment cringy lyrics from lizzy grant days…most of these have been so random 

like what’s wrong with “change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings”, “there’s only 24 hours in a day”, and even the entirety of american??

Puhlease you guys literally have no taste. This is just another proof that anti-post-NFR-Lana stans are regrettably insufferable

Just as insufferable as NFR stans thinking the album is some sort of lyrical masterpiece just cause she sings about being a vagabond poet missing x, y & z every other song.

"I'm the board, the lightning, the thunder

Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder

Who you are and who you been"

 

It's giving quirky alt chick in an indie rom-com "I'm not like the other girls, I'm one or the guys" type of character.

Love that for you, but it's just corny to me

I used to hate « Isn’t life crazy, I said, now that I’m singing with Sean »

but I’ve listened to TNC today and it didn’t make me cringe surprisingly

"When I look back Tracing fingertips over plastic bags." That's pretty bad.

[Verse 1: Lana Del Rey]
This is a simple song, gonna write it for a friend
My shirt is inside out, I'm messy with the pen
He met Margaret on a rooftop, she was wearin' white
And he was like, "I might be in trouble"
He had flashes of the good life, he was like
"Should I jump off this building now or do it on the double?"

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
'Cause, baby, if your love is in trouble
Baby, if your love is in trouble
Baby, if your love is in trouble

[Chorus: Both]
When you know, you know
When you know, you know
It kinda makes me laugh
Runnin' down that path
When you're good as gold
'Cause when you know, you know

[Verse 2: Jack Antonoff]
Word to all my friends
With their rеd flags, their white knights
Their black еyes and their blue lies
If you're askin' yourself, "How do you know?"
Then that's your answer, the answer is "No"
You gotta run, gotta run, run, run, run like your head's on fire
Run away like your head is on fire

 

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
'Cause, baby, if your love is in trouble
Baby, if your love is in trouble
Baby, if your love is in trouble

[Chorus: Both, Lana Del Rey]
When you know, you know
When you know, you know
It kinda makes me laugh
Runnin' down that path
When you're good as gold
'Cause when you know, you know
And when you're old, you're old
Like Hollywood and me
The diamond on your ring
The soul that you bring to the table
The one that makes me sing
In a minor key
'Cause when you know, you know
When you know, you know

[Interlude: Lana Del Rey]
So if you don't know, don't give up
'Cause you never know what the new day might bring

[Bridge: Both, Lana Del Rey]
Maybe tomorrow you'll know
Maybe tomorrow you'll know
Maybe tomorrow you'll know
I mean, join the party
By the way, the party is December 18
(Alright, let's waltz this out, kids)

[Chorus: Both, Lana Del Rey]
'Cause when you know, you know
And when you're old, you're old
Like Hollywood and me
That diamond on your ring
The soul that you bring to the table
The one that makes me sing
In a minor key
Diamond on your ring
'Cause when you know, you know
When you know, you know

Just have to say that I'm speechless, you literally opened my eyes after so many years I have a completely different perspective now
