Check out Lana Del Rey’s “ironic meta-meme”
Lana Del Rey, known for haunting, dramatic, dreamy ballads like “Born to Die” and “Ultraviolence” just released the video for her song from the album of the same title, “Honeymoon.”
With soaring violins and Rey’s achingly beautiful voice crooning lyrics like “There are violets in your eyes; There are guns that blaze around you,” the singer remains true to form, and to the themes her fans have come to expect. Watch the video, which features the artist lying in the grass near a busy road, before cutting to a pink screen with lyrics imprinted over it. (Some are calling the video an “ironic meta-meme”)
Lyrics:
We both know that it’s not fashionable to love me
But you don’t go cause truly there’s nobody for you but me
We could cruise to the blues
Wilshire Boulevard if we choose
Or whatever you want to do
We make the rules
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Say you want me too
Say you want me too
Dark blue
Dark blue
We both know the history of violence that surrounds you
But I’m not scared, there’s nothing to lose now that I’ve found you
We could cruise to the news
Pico blvd in you used little bullet car if we choose
Mr. Born to lose
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Say you want me too
Say you want me too
Dark blue
Dark blue
There are violets in your eyes
There are guns that blaze around you
There are roses in between my thighs and fire that surrounds you
It’s no wonder every man in town had neither fought nor found you
Everything you do is elusive to even your honey dew
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life
