AngelHeadedHipster 2,838 Posted September 14, 2015 SWAN SONG [Verse 1] Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Why work so hard when you could just be free? You got your moment now, you got your legacy Let's leave the world for the ones who change everything Nothing could stop the two of us Let's just get lost, that's what we want [Chorus] And I will never sing again And you won't work another day I will never sing again With just one wave it goes away It will be our swan song It will be our swan song Be our swan song It will be our swan song [Verse 2] Dive in , dive deep and dive blue my sweet Rushing up from the water where the ice meets And you've been gone so long, you missed everything The world can change in a day if you go away But nothing could stop the two of us That's what we want We could just get lost [Chorus] And I will never sing again And you won't work another day I will never sing again With just one wave it goes away It will be our swan song It will be our swan song Be our swan song It will be our swan song [bridge] Do you like Do you like where you've been and Where you're going to (going to) Say good night Say good night to the life in the world we live I'm going to follow you [Chorus-Variation] And I will never sing again And you won't work another day And I will never sing again You won't work another day It will be our swan song It will be our swan song Be our swan song Be our swan song [Outro] Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Why you work so hard when you could just be free Lyrics source : http://genius.com/Lana-del-rey-swan-song-lyrics 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creyk 11,699 Posted September 14, 2015 i think she's saying "shut the fuck up stop being a whiny motherfucking baby or else i'll tell everyone + they'll think you're shit". but i could be wrong So exposing someone? Yeah that could be it, good idea! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ILostMyself 171 Posted September 14, 2015 Is it really white tennis shoes? I mean, it does make sense, but I just don't hear it. However, I don't hear anything that makes sense, so And I also still hear "cut your legacy" and I like it but it doesn't really make much sense either, sooooo... I hope that lyrics will be much clearer with the HQ versions of the songs. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILostMyself 171 Posted September 16, 2015 I've updated my version of the lyrics but there are still two sections that I don't understand [Verse 1] Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Why work so hard when you could just be free You got your money, you got your legacy Let's leave the world for the ones who change everything [bridge] Nothing could stop the two of us Let's just get lost That's what we want [Chorus] And I will never sing again and you won't work another day I will never sing again With just one wave it goes away It will be our swan song (x3) [Verse 2] Dive in, dive deep and dive blue must we / my sweet [?] Rushing up from the water where the ice meets And you've been gone so long you missed everything The world can change in a day if you go away [bridge] But nothing could stop the two of us If that's what we want, we could just get lost [Chorus] And I will never sing again and you won't work another day I will never sing again With just one wave it goes away It will be our swan song (x3) [Verse 3] Do you like Do you like where you've been and where you're going to (come to me) Say goodnight Say goodnight to the life in the world we live I'm gonna follow you [Chorus] And I will never sing again and you won't work another day I will never sing again You won't work another day It will be our swan song (x4) [Outro] Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me (x3) Why you work so hard when you could just be free 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ILostMyself 171 Posted September 17, 2015 I'm 99% sure it's "You got your money, you got your legacy" Well that does make a bit more sense then my version lol, however I still hear " moanin' " instead of money. Dive in, dive deep and dive blue must we/my sweet Am I the only one? No, I hear that too now... Do you like, Do you like where you've been and where you're going to That's it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

countercouper 30 Posted September 19, 2015 Definitely hear "dive deep and dive blue my sweet" Does anyone else hear "dive deep and die blue my sweet"? Or am I the only who doesn't hear the "-ve" sound? To me it really just sounds like she's saying "I blue my sweet" lol. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaserKitten 349 Posted September 21, 2015 Anyone else feel like this is a 'duet' between Lana & Lizzie? The 'white tennis shoes' bit sounds like it's directed at a female - like Lizzie in early promo pics - rather than a male. Just a random, half-conceived thought, but I listened to it with this idea in mind last night and it changed the whole tone and meaning of the song for me. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
