Other songs on the album had a more troubled gestation. Del Rey says the closing track, Get Free, originally had a different title, and much more personal lyrics.

"That song started out really revealing," she says. "I wanted to summarise my whole experience over the last six years; and then I realised, I don't want to reveal everything."

Once the initial version was "out of my system", she says, the recording was "deleted completely then started from scratch".

The lyrics became more vague and more hopeful; and the re-recorded version ends with Del Rey 

: "I want to move out of the black, into the blue".

"I think it would have been hard for me to do interviews if I'd said a couple of particular things that I was thinking of," she says of the original.

"Kind of the way 

 did. It was harder to promote that record."

I was convinced that 13 Beaches was the best song on the album, but nope. It's definitely White Mustang. Can't get over it.

Why is she being rude tho?

Maybe she thinks he's lying lol

[Stargirl 13,351]

omg did she mentiom me

she only said that and then violently hung up on me 

 

violently because my eyes started bleeding but that might not have been her fault

[GroupieLover 1,162]

Lana's "K" response to that greedy extra gay who bought fucking 44 copies of the same album is literally me. "K... cool. You're dumb"

[Terrence Loves Me 72,695]

except that cheap album owns no crown  

[Stargirl 13,351]

Why is she being rude tho?

literally the most pointless interview but her singing video games with those stupid ass lyrics made it all worth it  she still sounded so good tho

[WildMustang 14,759]

Off topic but why Lana's eyelashes go down? Like they are to heavy and hide her eyes

I think she has eyelash extensions right now, they sometimes look really heavy bc they're so thick

[PrettyLies 31]

Can ya'll hear Marina on When the world was at war? That would've been the perfect song for them to collab on 

[Formation 4,192]

Random, but do we know what the background vocals on the Cherry bridge say?

[Terrence Loves Me 72,695]

I had a group job interview earlier and we had to write down a name of someone who we'd have dinner with and why. So naturally, i of course chose Lana Del Rey. And NOBODY in the room of 7 people had a clue who she was.

[latothemoon 11,845]

Lana had gotten funnier this era lol. She never used to try to be funny as much like this

There's no more chasing rainbows

And hoping for an end to them

Their arches are illusions

Solid at first glance

But then you try to touch them (touch, touch)

There's nothing to hold on to (hold, hold)

The colors used to lure you in (shut up, shut up)

And put you in a trance (ah, ah, ah, yeah)

(the pre-chorus is f**king depressing)

 

 

 

idk why i feel like this is a record deal metaphor

 

there's no more chasing the first chance that may let you get somewhere; it won't

 

they'll promise to pay you some money and wring you out, there's no end to this rainbow- no pot of gold (fame)

 

you were attracted to it immediately due to the colors (of fame, the life style, change) and all it did was make you weaker and easier to manipulate. 

 

But since she's found Lana Del Rey; she doesn't have to submit to that fate anymore; it's almost like a direct callback to Radio (I finally found you- being the LDR persona that shot her to fame, its bittersweet not finding success until putting your given identity away, but the fame and change from a horrid lifestyle is still a dream- regardless of the critics)

 

here's some proof to back up my theory 

 

"Before finding success as Lana Del Rey, the singer tried her hand under the moniker Lizzy Grant. Indeed, she got stuck in a bad recording contract, and had all but given up on a career in music. "It's a song about letting go of my musical ambitions and settling down into a simple life with a person I loved"
