“Lick me up and take me like a vitamin / ‘ Cause my body’s sweet like sugar venom, oh yeah”-”Radio”.“My pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola”-”Cola”.“Money is the anthem, of success / So before we go out / What’s your address?”-”National Anthem”.Lana 101: Anytime you want to tease and provoke, you can always debase religion… “Let’s take Jesus off the dashboard / Got enough on his mind / We both know just what we’re here for / Saved too many times”-”Diet Mountain Dew”.This is our “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” playing it coy. “You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip-hop / But you fit me better than my favorite sweater”-”Blue Jeans”.She’s not unhinged-this girl’s completely in control. “Come and take a walk on the wild side / Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain / You like your girls insane”-”Born to Die”ĭon’t fall for it.Here are 10 of Lana Del Rey’s sultriest, most biting lines. Her fantasies and failures come alive in every vivid color, but what keeps us coming back for more is her unabashed openness: She’ll tell you exactly what she wants, when she wants it, and how she’s gonna get it. Though her tragic tales may be rife with clichés, her evocative telling of them remains her most intoxicating trait. But she’s also crude and brash, sexy and sincere, and her sardonic side is vastly underrated.
Sure, she’s just as romantic and melodramatic. Some have even suggested she may just be the American Morrissey. As a songwriter, Lana Del Rey is utterly fearless. Lana Del Rey promised us everything from the start: “It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you / Everything I do,” she sang on 2011’s “Video Games.” Since then, she’s remained completely committed to that line, doing everything in her power to continue to shock and seduce us with her purrs, her pouts, and her pen.
