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.

In the second half of verse two, Lana says, “I’m a princess, I’m divisive. Ask me why, why, why am I like this? Maybe I’m just kinda like this. I don’t know, maybe I’m just like this.”

What I took from those lyrics is that she’s questioning how she’s viewed by the men she has romantic relationships with. Some of them see her as a princess, while others see her as divisive.

If they were to ever ask her why she is the way she is, she doesn’t really have an answer.

But after living so many years of her life in the spotlight, being scrutinized by the media and having her heartbreaks heavily analyzed by the masses, it makes sense that someone would see her as divisive, especially those who are looking for a reason to pick her apart.

The rest of us who view her as a princess are more understanding of what she’s gone through, and we have a well of patience that will never dry up for her.
