Lana Del Rey is a true icon for today's generation. It's like smiling when the firing squad's against you

'And there's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head.' 'A touch from your real love, it's s like heaven taking the place of something evil.'Ĭould it be that you and me are the lucky ones?'ġ9. 'Darlin', I fall to pieces when I’m with you.'ġ7. 'Heaven is a place on earth with you.'ġ6. 'Being brave means that knowing when you fail, you won't fail forever.'ġ5. 'When your happiness is someone else's happiness, that is love.'ġ4. 'There's things I wanna say to you, but I'll just let you leave,ġ3. 'When you’re an introvert like me and you’ve been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It escapes from my hands into moonlight.'ĩ. 'All the pretty stars shine for you, my love.'ħ. Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?'Ħ. 'Will you still love me when I'm no longer, young and beautiful?

She then goes on to say “we were dancing all night then they took you away stole you out of my life”she’s saying they didn’t care anymore whether or not people liked them together but eventually this happy ending didn’t last forever the white supremacy come and took him away stole her other half her love she was torn apart but there was nothing she could do she was heartbroken but she will still love him until death.5. Next line which I can connect with is “You went out every night and baby that’s all right, I told you that no matter what you did I’d be by your side” he’s frustrated because he can’t let the world know that they are in love and they are a biracial couple he goes out to the bar or to a friends house to get drunk and forget about his anger and insecurities. She says “loved you more than those bitches before” although he had to get other girlfriends she always loved him the most out of them all. Obviously he would have to move on and create a family with a person of his own race but she wants him to remember that they were once lovers and hopefully even though they can’t physically be together, mentally they still are and he won’t forget that. And knowing that racism was heavily active during this time they could never be together, she says “I would love you til the end of time, I would wait a million years promise me you’ll remember that you’re mine” she’s saying I don’t care how long it takes for us to be together I will wait for you no matter what. Lana states her songs are related to those eras because she feels like she was essentially there, anyways to me this song defined a young girl who drastically felt for a colored guy. I listened to this in the shower this morning and everyone interprets things differently but for me I connected back to the 1950s where slavery was still a thing and segregation. (The water around her) and slowly suffocating in her own sadness. Metaphorically and physically.everyone was waiting to see her fail because of their own short comings and now they have.they wait for her to jump and eat her.she was drowning in sorrow. The crocodiles are representing the evil and horrible people around her and they are waiting for her in the water so that they can pounce on her and perhaps take her boyfriend. and now that she knows she will never find anyone she has nothing to live for. Those moments in the song with him and her together where her dreams of finding love. Never got to experience.she knows their is someone out there for everyone but unfortunately her time has come to an end.So she is telling him that she loves him till the the end of time to ensure that he never feels as alone as she does or did and it doesn't matter what happens or who he is she will love him because it was all she had that kept her alive for that short moment. She is crying for a future she has never got to have. To me i feel this song is talking about a lover that she has never met and will most likely never meet because he (no one) will ever love her.
