Thats why they call me Dita Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 This is pretty tough.. Video games- classic, even after all these years I listen to the words and think they’re beautiful.. even more so because they’re so simple Off to the races- how she gets this one to flow so smoothly despite so much content.. all the references!! Gods and monsters- this one just gets me.. Is this happiness- this one again.. so simple and yet evokes such emotion Religion- not sure why this one gets slandered.. I mean Heroin- transcends me in to a different dimension, no other words needed Hope is a dangerous thing- this is an obvious one!! Cinnamon girl- I end up relating to this one too much, so it’s got to have its place on this list White dress- this song genuinely feels like home to me- I can’t even explain it, I listen to it and just have this strong feeling of nostalgia for an experience I never lived Wildflower Wildfire- loved how she eloquently gave us an insight to her life here.. and the writing is top tier Fingertips- potentially her best songwriting thus far, again, makes me feel an emotion for something I’ve never experienced myself i went over slightly.. but I tried to literally keep to one song per album and it was just too difficult 3 Quote like a dream, you glide on the water and like a star, I shine from the shore
Beautiful Loser Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 In no particular order... My list of outstanding lyrics written by miss Del Rey. hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it I think this song was very important for Lana and her fans to hear. Never give up. There will be lows, but you can't give up. I love the ending with Jack praising her, it's like a little hidden gem. kintsugi Grief, funerals, and family. I don't know what else to say than it's truly beautiful and it makes me want to cry every time I hear it. Losing someone is part of life and it can break you, but by having these experiences, I think, makes you eventually grow as a human, seeing joy in things you hadn't before. The hurt doesn't go away, it's part of you, like the cracks of a porcelin bowl. fingertips Never before have I heard a song sung so beautifully with lyrics written about depression like this song does. The first time I heard it was in a record store with the shittiest stereos ever so I barely heard the words but when I put on my headphones at the time of the release, sometime past midnight... wow. It could come across as "all over the place" with how Lana sings about her failed attempt to drown, her uncle's death, her relationship with her mother and the sea. But. It's almost like she's rambling and it somehow makes a lot of sense when the song touches topics like those, a thought just enters and leaves and the next one enters instead. It's grief. It doesn't have to make sense, but we understand her perfectly. Sweet Touching her innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the future, family, and children, while also being a bit sassy and letting the listener know she's far from basic? Beautiful. Off To The Races The entire song is like opening a fiction novel and just getting swept away. The way she portrays herself and her lifestyle, her "old man", that she'd do anything for him despite the bad things she knows he's doing... Chef's kiss. This song is simply 10/10 and it wouldn't be without the fun lyrics. Mariner's Apartment Complex Just beautiful how she tells the listener who she really is, and how she'll always be there for them, and ending it with the question, can you deal with me now that you know who I am? Are you ready for all that I am? Can you accept me? Blue Banisters I have the impression that the song isn't very popular here on LB but, for me, I love the story telling. It starts like a book, how she's heartbroken and won't really admit it to her friends, tells the reason why and what happened, about unfulfilled promises and hopes for the future, and how she eventually will be okay because she has friends to accompany her while she heals. I think that's beautiful. Yay, friendship! A&W Loss of innocence, the promise that we all one day will find our big, true love and what it feels like when that promise isn't happening to you, the forced indifference you tell yourself just to deal with it... How Jimmy will never be the one so she finds another Jimmy, and it's fine if she's crazy and mad by telling his mom he's a loser, because she knows she can get another Jimmy soon anyway. The circle that never ends. I think this song can be interpreted differently depending on who you are and how you read between the lines and how she delivers them in the song. I don't think I'll get over it anytime soon. Sweet Carolina It makes me wanna ugly cry lol, it's the sweetest song I've heard. I think of my sister in law whenever I hear it, and the time she was pregnant with my nephew. Norman Fucking Rockwell Sassy Lana at her best lol! She's smarter than this guy she's with and he hasn't noticed that yet. Still, she stays with him... until she finds someone better? Maybe? Might not be the nicest thing to do to another person as it might give them false hope but, oh well. I'll probably regret some of my choices in the future haha, she's too good! 2 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
