American Dream (Damn You)

Recommended Posts

I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker

I won't cry myself to sleep

If I do I'll die

Now you fall asleep with another

Damn you

 

Remember how we used to escape for the summer

Fireworks and sparklers would light up the black skies

We'd hold on tight for our lives to each other

Hello, hello, where did you go?

 

We were two kids living life on the run

Like the american dream

Baby, nothing to lose

And we get messed up for fun

We went too fast, too young

 

But I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker

I won't cry myself to sleep

If I do I'll die

Now you fall asleep with another

Damn you

Damn you

 

Flowers in my hair and your breath smelled like whiskey

Promised anywhere that I go, take you with me

Dancing on your feet like a child to the radio

Hello, hello, where did you go?

 

We were two kids living life on the run

Of the american dream

Baby, nothing to lose

And we get messed up for fun

We went too fast, too young

 

But I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker

I won't cry myself to sleep

If I do I'll die

Now you fall asleep with another

Damn you

Damn you

Damn you

Damn you

 

Every once in a lifetime

Dreams can come true

Now and then when the stars shine

You meet somebody like you

 

And I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker

I won't cry myself to sleep

If I do I'll die

I pray your life is sweet, you fucker

Damn you

Oh, oh

Damn you

Damn you

Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.

Listen to it like 10 seconds before the end, turn up your volume really loud, and Lana says 'oh my god'.. at least I think!

is it confirmed by anyone, writers, producers, etc?

 

CG, one of the admins on LDR.FM, told us it was produced by Chris, and Lana herself, in May of 2011, wrote on FaceBook about doing "Hollywood's Dead" with him. So...kinda. :P

There's something about it that's really unsettling, like it wasn't planned. I like it though, it leaves me feeling cold at the end.

 

I really like the song though, grows on me everytime I hear it. I just don't like the beginning bit because it's really loud compared to the audio on my other Lana songs and it just annoys me idk why.

Weird, i don't get that feeling at all from the "oh my god." To me, it has a cute, sweet, and almost mischievous quality to it, as if she's about to start laughing nervously. I wonder what was going on that caused her to say that. Maybe she snuck a boyfriend into the studio and, right as she was finishing the vocal, he knocked his coffee cup into a grand piano, or like, dropped a $7,000 microphone that he wasn't supposed to even be touching  :deadbanana:
