Lana's Most Impressive Lyric(s)...

[IanadeIrey 62,021]

Topanga’s hot tonight, the city by the bay

Has movie stars and liquor stores in soft decay

The rumbling from distant shores sends me to sleep

But the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream

 

Life rocked me like Mötley

[Eugene 26,669]

High up in the Hollywood hills, taking violet pills
Writing all of my songs about my cheap thrills
You're a hard man to love and I'm
A hard woman to keep track of

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,349]

I Can Fly 

 

 

I had bright wishes in the summer, I was bathing in sunlight
Painting in the garden like a ghost in Mid-July
Running fast from something with my eyes wide like
Saucers spinning in the sun

 

 

I had a dream that I was fine
I wasn't crazy, I was divine

 

I, can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
I, can fly

Lately, we've been makin' out a lot

Not talkin' 'bout the stuff that's at the very heeeeaaart of things 

Do you want children? Do you wanna marry me?  

 

Hits even harder after the Sean shade... 

Do you wanna run marathons in Long Beach by the sea?
I've got things to do, like nothing at all
I wanna do them with you
Do you wanna do them with me?

the entirety of Sweet 

I wrote you a note, but I didn't send it
'Cause that's the best method the women here taught me about
What you don't really understand
I've got magic in my hand, stars in my eyes

I'm sweet, bare feet
If you wanna go where nobody goes
That's where you'll find me
In the sweet north country
If I'm not there, comе to my house on Genesee

You can find me where no one will be
In the woods somewhere, in the night
In the heart of a valley
In the sweet north country
If I'm not there, come to my house on Genesee

I’ve always loved the first lines of BAR or TNBAR: « My baby used to dance underneath my architecture ´til the House of the Holies, smoking on them cigarettes »

she's saying "to The Houses of the Holy" which is a led zeppelin album

[sweet cereal killer 254]

First that comes to mind is "I'm always going to be right here" from How to Disappear. I find it extremely moving within the context of the song

Isn’t it also a part of the old Jerusalem temple in the Bible? But I could be wrong though. 

[Beautiful Loser 48,810]

Don’t have to write me a letter

’Cause I’ll always be right here

Closer to you than your next breath, my dear

 

[…]
 

Just know this is your song

It’ll live on and on, way past me and you

I've been obsessed with Gods and Monsters lately

 

honestly i feel like gods and monsters could be one of her most complex and deepest songs, i feel like it could be interpreted in a lot of different ways and apply to a lot of concepts, sometimes i wonder if it's about hollywood, or just the general idea of somebody normal and pure entering into a place that's sordid and dark, which could be taken literally or metaphorically, i feel like there's a good amount of juxtaposition in the song as well, it's in the point of view of the angel who's in more of a dark, mischievous world, she favors that world, rather than seeking or favoring god, and it's interesting how the song title is a reference to jeff buckley's old band that was called "gods and monsters", and jeff buckley has a really good reputation, he's known as a great person, as well as a gentle soul, and the song also mentions jim morrison, who had more of a complicated reputation, he would act-out on stage, was addicted to drugs, and had a turbulent relationship.... stability vs. chaos... maybe i'm just rambling... but i think it's one of her most fascinating songs lyrically

[bia 1,116]

I paint the sky black

you said if you could have your way

youd make a nighttime of the day

so it’s suit the mood of your soul

(black beauty)

 

I’ve always been a strong woman of faith

strong like a tree, but the unlucky one

(fine China)

 

that’s 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)

 

 

[Platinum Greenwich 13,845]

Thirty blocks to Fordham Road

That's a bad neighborhood

Crackhouse on the corner

I know I shouldn't do what it is I could

 

The stone Mary in the garden

She let me know she watching

She said I'd better get walking

I'd better walk away

 

I don't know why it is that I wanna stay

I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way

But I'm not gonna do what I hear me say

I'm just gonna walk, I'm gonna walk away

They mistook my kindness for weakness

I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus 

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

Catch a wave and take in the sweetness 

Think about it, the darkness, the deepness

All the things that make me who I am.

 

And who I am 

Is a big time believer

That people can change 

You don't have to leave her 

When everyone's talking you can make a stand. 

 

Cause even in the dark 

I feel your resistance 

You can see my heart 
Burning in the distance 

Baby, baby, baby, I'm your man.

these will always be my favorite lyrics she's written

[Dark Angel 202,184]

what happened to us? me and you

you were funny once, and you were funny, too

one day, we woke up, and i found that had grew, and

only, i wasn't me, i had come out blue

 

and you, i don't know what to make of you

you're not a color, you're more of a shape of

your former self, like they say, babe

but i remember the days when you'd

 

spin me 'round, kiss me in your chevrolet

i love you more with each and every day, and

i'll continue always to get that way

yellow, red, or blue

 

[taco truck 32,990]

Lost, but now I am found
I can see that once I was blind
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

 

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
To red, blue, and yellow skies
It's so crazy I could drink it like tequila sunrise
Put on that Hotel California
Dance around like I'm insane
I feel free when I see no one
And nobody knows my name

 

I never meant to hurt you baby
It's so hard to be true
In this world where everything's so black and 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
I want Jesus to take me out this life baby
And I talk to Jesus
And ask him if he'll think of saving me

Paradise is a hell-colored flame sky
Is it nice to feel free and wild?
Paradise is a game of do or die
I just ride, ride, ride
 

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere cologne, and white sunshine
Red racing cars, Sunset and Vine
The kids were young and pretty
Where have you been? Where did you go?
Those summer nights seem long ago
And so is the girl you used to call
The Queen of New York City

 

Goddamn, man-child
You act like a kid even though you stand six foot two
Self-loathing poet, resident Laurel Canyon know-it-all
You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you
But I don't get bored, I just see it through
Why wait for the best when I could have you? You?

 

You're beautiful and I'm insane
We're American-made

 

You act like fucking Mr. Brightside when you're with all your friends
But I know what you're like when the party ends

[PARADIXO 32,940]

Lately, we've been making out a lot

Not talking about the stuff that's at the very heart of things

 

And everything that comes before and after that part; but those few lines in particular are just gorgeous

 

The very heart of things, woah

[x VB 12,508]

"Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and Dave

Who hung himself real high

In the National Park sky, it's a shame and I'm crying right now

To get to you, save you if I take my life

Find your astral body, put it into my eyes

Give you two seconds to cry

Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket

Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side

'Cause, baby, I ran through a time when I felt you were doing it"

 

It's so deep, personal and pure. You have to be very strong to release a song like Fingertips.

[Eugene 26,669]

Now it's been years since I left New York
I've got a kid and two cats in the yard
The California sun and the movie stars
I watch the skies getting light as I write
As I think about those years
As I whisper in your ear
I'm always going to be right here
No one's going anywhere

 

I cry every time I listen How to disappear, it's probably one of my favorite songs of all time. 

[Topaz 572]

I wore diamonds for the day of our wedding
For our day in the sun
On the same day, my mother-to-be said she wouldn't come
It's always been that way with me
No time for change, no time for fun
It's always been that way, it seems
One love begins, one comes undone

I'm going down now
With all of my

Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory almonds
I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they?
They said that love was enough, but it wasn't
The Earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire, but we were wooden
