brokenfaith 227 Posted June 13, 2014 I wanna see people's interpretations! The verses are about te death of a relationshi, how giving her 100% was a waste because it ended. She's long gone and she's left alone to put herself back together. The chorus is about her putting on a strong face and partying like it doesn't matter, but even though she claims she's "te best", everyone knows she's "a mess" and she's crazy--she's not filling anyone. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HEARTCORE 18,971 Posted June 13, 2014 I wanna see people's interpretations! The verses are about te death of a relationshi, how giving her 100% was a waste because it ended.

I kinda agree with you! However, I think the verses are Lana lamenting the loss of their relationship, but the chorus is Lana just saying 'honestly, I'm fucking better without you'; she isn't putting up a façade. Despite this, the way she sings in that drugged up, wasted voice kinda suggests that she's turned to substance abuse to help herself out. The music supports this view, imo, as it gradually gets heavier and heavier as Lana gets high, but when the drugs wear off, the music becomes less extreme and Lana's sadness about the relationship's end is exposed. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarcrashBandicoot 760 Posted June 14, 2014 Does anyone else not like this song as much as the other songs? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrisalidaBoy 8 Posted June 14, 2014 I personally LOVE it. I think it is my fave. Especially the "because you're young, you're wild, you're free, you're dancing circles around me" part. It gets me every time. And the very beginning of song -the guitar notes that actually open the album- sound so classic and classy... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarcrashBandicoot 760 Posted June 14, 2014 I love how when she previewed the song before Cola, she sang, "It's a cruel, cruel world..." But she doesn't even say that in the song... Come on, Lana... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadAgainst 1,515 Posted June 15, 2014 I'm guessing the song is about her fans (it's all for you): http://radio.com/2014/06/12/lana-del-rey-interview-maleficent-ultraviolence/ I always feel that my energy level stays the same during shows, it’s kind of at this mid-level, but everyone in the audience is at this manic high-level. For me, the show is always about them. I find myself just getting lost watching them, because they’re so animated. Young, wild, free -- dancing circles around her, crazy for her The "red party dress" is a repeating signifier of being an Object perceived by numerous Subjects. "The roses had the look of flowers that are looked at." 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Heroin" is the drug, "heroine" is a noble woman. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeadAgainst 1,515 Posted June 30, 2014 Can someone speculate as to why she include "suburban?" I do not get that part. She differentiates herself from her audience which is both drunken and middle-class http://www.electronicbeats.net/en/features/interviews/lana-del-rey-interview/ Well, I mixed it with my studies in theology, because it was the best school for the Jesuit faith and all of the Jesuits taught philosophy classes. There was just a lot of talk about going back to that basic question: Why do we exist? How did reality come to be? Why do we do what we do? And how not to become the butcher, the baker, the candlestickmaker, the guardians of the middle-class—that really interested me. I don’t know. Yeah, I loved being around people who wondered why we were here. As in ... "Here we are now, entertain us." They don't wonder in their suburban ennui; they merely want to be entertained. But she (the Other Woman) will be waiting, and whispers "remember." Clearly there is a bit of cynicism ... I sympathize. "In a world where everyone is bored, I like people with emotion." Her Bible and Gun emerge like an etherial echo from beyond; esoteric Ice and Fire in distinction from their exoteric Bibles and Guns. Let the light in; it's a Cruel World. "Got your Bible, got your gun ... I'm finally happy now that you're gone" is perhaps an ironic inversion of Barrie's line https://www.facebook.com/nightmareboybjo/posts/413946528751206 "she's so lonely now he's gone he's day dreaming of his new gun she's a feeling his only one" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilde_child 490 Posted June 30, 2014 Candy can be related to sex or drugs (ecstasy, cocaine). Urban dictionary most fitting definition of "candy"— candy n. 1. euphemism for sex 2. something (usually flashy like a lure) used to get sex 3. drugs, particularly cocaine, crack, or E 1. Hey little girl, want some candy? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
