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.

This song is a lyrical masterpiece by Lana, and it’s one of my favorite songs, despite the darkness of it. And for any woman who’s felt used and thrown away by men throughout her life, these lyrics really hit home and deeply resonate.

Feeling used by men is one of the most damaging experiences a woman can go through, and the sad part is that many women start going through these experiences at a super young age because women who are seeking love and acceptance often find themselves in bad situations where they’re vulnerable and taken advantage of.

I remember the moment Jack Antonoff first announced this song on Instagram back in December 2022, claiming it was his favorite song he ever did with Lana as part of her Ocean Boulevard album.

They did an excellent job with intense storytelling in A&W, so I will always have a lot of love and respect for this song. Like I said before, this song hits home for any woman who’s ever felt used and abused by men.

It’s not just an anthem for OF models, escorts, or people who are super promiscuous. Anyone who’s been vulnerable with the wrong person can understand the depth and pain of what Lana describes in this song.
