A&W by Lana Del Rey is one of my favorite songs by her, even though it’s incredibly dark and heartbreaking.

Here’s a portion of my lyrical analysis of the masterpiece she created.

Lana seemingly shuts down the narrative that she ever cared about what haters had to say about her appearance in A&W.

She says, “I mean, look at me. Look at the length of my hair and my face, the shape of my body. Do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?”

As a celebrity, Lana has always been put on the chopping block in the media, heavily scrutinized for every little detail, from her hair to her face to the shape of her body.

This line was her way of saying that she’ll continue operating as she sees fit regardless of what people have to say.

This is one of the most empowering lines in the song, which I greatly appreciate since a huge majority of this song is so damn sad and emotionally heavy.
