Which Lana Del Rey song represents each character from Euphoria?

Here’s your deep dive into the Euphoria characters and the way they connect to some of Lana’s most thought-provoking lyrics.

Rue Bennett – Heroin.

“Heroin” is the Lana song for Rue since it describes the heartbreak and darkness that come along with having an addiction.

In the song, Lana describes someone she loves who died of an overdose singing, “I’m flyin’ to the moon again, dreamin’ about heroin. How it gave you everything and took your life away.”

Jules Vaughn – Love Song.

“Love Song” by Lana represents Jules since the song is about opening yourself up to the beauty of love and yearning for the desire to be accepted as you are.

Lana sings, “Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?”

Since Jules is a transgender character who spends the night with men in hopes of experiencing some sort of emotional connection, these lyrics resonate with her well.

Nate Jacobs – Serial Killer.

Nate’s song by Lana is none other than “Serial Killer,” because he’s an abusive and toxic human being.

He choked out Maddy, he gaslit Cassie and used her for sex, and he blackmailed Jules. On top of that, he’s shown major signs of narcissistic behavior.

In the “Serial Killer,” Lana sings, “Baby, I’m a sociopath. Sweet serial killer. On the warpath.”

Cassie Howard – Video Games.

Cassie’s obsession with male attention, validation, and love is her downfall. She’s so desperate and insecure, it borders on pathetic.

Yet, Cassie is still a beloved character in Euphoria because she’s stunningly pretty so it’s easy for viewers to have endless patience with her.

In “Video Games,” Lana sings, “It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you. Everything I do. I tell you all the time. Heaven is a place on earth with you. Tell me all the things you wanna do. I heard that you like the bad girls. Honey, is that true?”

These lyrics might remind you of the time Cassie was professing her sexual obedience to Nate while they were hooking up.

Kat Hernandez – National Anthem.

Kat proved that she had the ultimate level of confidence in Euphoria when she started webcamming for cash and pulling in copious amounts of money from random men on the internet.

In the song, Lana sings, “Money is the reason we exist. Everybody knows it, it’s a fact (kiss, kiss).”

She also boldly belts out, “Tell me I’m your national anthem,” in the chorus, which reminds listeners of Kat’s fierce dominance.

Maddy Perez – Summertime Sadness.

Maddy always exhibits main character energy, and that’s why “Summertime Sadness” is the rightful Lana song for her.

Lana sings, “I got my red dress on tonight. Dancin’ in the dark, in the pale moonlight. Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style. High heels off, I’m feelin’ alive.”

In other parts of the song, Lana sings about the summertime sadness she feels because she misses someone she once loved.

She sings, “Think I’ll miss you forever. Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.”

The lyrics relate to Maddy’s breakup with Nate. Despite the toxicity of their union, Maddy still harbors feelings for him.

Fezco – How to Disappear.

Fezco was always a chill and laidback character on Euphoria. He never caused a stir, and was easily able to blend into the mix of things without anyone noticing.

In “How to Disappear,” Lana sings, “All of the guys tell me lies, but you don’t. You just crack another beer. And pretend that you’re still here. This is how to disappear.”

Lexi Howard – Chemtrails Over the Country Club.

A huge part of Lexi’s identity comes from the fact that she feels overshadowed by her beautiful older sister.

Yet, Lexi still somehow finds the positives in most things and tries her best to shine as an individual.

In “Chemtrails Over the Country Club,” Lana sings, “Me and my sister just playing it cool. Under the chemtrails over the country club. Meet you for coffee at the elementary schools. We laugh about nothing as the summer gets cool. It’s beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me. I’m not bored or unhappy, I’m still so strange and wild.”

The development of Lexi’s play serves as proof that she was never going to succumb to her insecurities.

She put herself out there to experience the beauty and bliss life has to offer, the way Lana describes in “Chemtrails.”

Chris McKay – 13 Beaches.

Chris has one of the darkest and saddest storylines of all on Euphoria. He fell for Cassie, but their relationship wasn’t built to last because he was insecure about the way other guys were sexualizing her.

Then, his frat brother sexually assaulted him, and he crumbled into a shell of his former self from that moment on.

In “13 Beaches,” Lana sings, “I don’t belong in the world, that’s what it is. Something separates me from other people. Everywhere I turn, there’s something blocking my escape.

The song relates to McKay who felt separated from the girl who was closest to him based on dumb criticisms from others.

And when she tried to be there for him after his assault, he pushed her away.

Ashtray – Born to Die.

“Born to Die” is the Lana song for Ashtray since his character was so beyond self-destructive and troubled.

It’s unclear if Ashtray is actually dead or not, but if so, Lana’s lyrics about being born to die make all the sense in the world for him specifically.
