A lot of Lana Del Rey’s lyrics are heartbreaking, depressing, and sad. They highlight her most devastating heartbreaks ever.

However, there are still a bunch of lyrics from Lana that completely connect with her current love story and the magical bliss that comes with being married.

Here’s a breakdown of how Lana’s marriage connects with lyrics from her discography.

Before diving into this lyrical analysis of some of Lana‘s most romantic and thought-provoking songs, do you want to share some context about her marriage.

She’s married to an alligator tour guide named Jeremy Dufrene and they tied the knot on September 26, 2024.

They snagged a marriage license just three days before their wedding date, and they seemingly appeared to be head over heels in love with each other since then.

They celebrated their one year anniversary in September 2025, and every time Lana shares more pics or details about her marriage, she reveals more insight into how happy she is to be in this relationship. So let’s dive into the lyrics.

Cola

In “Cola” Lana sings: “I got a taste for men who are older, it’s always been so it’s no surprise.”

This theme ties in with her relationship with Jeremy, who’s older than her with a stable presence seems to be a contrast to past instability.

We know that some of Lana‘s past relationships were rocky and chaotic based on things she’s revealed in heartbreakingly honest songs.

But there are signs that Jeremy is a common stable presence in her life.

Jeromy is 10 years older than her, which means her line in the song Cola certainly rings true.

In the past, she’s dated a few guys who were younger than her or her same age, including Jack Donahue, who is five years younger than her, Clayton Johnson, who is four years younger than her, and G-Eazy, who is also four years younger than her.

Lana’s taste for men who are older means her taste for her husband is completely on brand for her.

Margaret

Next up is her song Margaret, that offers “when you know you know” energy. The song was written about her friends, Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff, and it uses the phrase “when you know you know“ repetitively throughout.

These lyrics resonate with the idea that Lana found someone she simply just knows she wants to commit to.

This line actually carries so much weight and so much depth if you really think about it because it signifies the immediate, deep, and undeniable sense of certainty that a person can feel about a major life decision.

When it comes to something as crucial as love and who you choose to marry, having that deep knowing is a nonnegotiable.

Although Lana might’ve written this song about another couple, it’s evident that she resonates with the feeling of knowing that she found the one who she wants to live her life with forever.

Young and Beautiful

Next, we’ll talk about the lyrics in her song Young and Beautiful, which sheds light on Lana‘s vulnerability, and the fact that she lives for love in the most unfiltered and unbridled way.

In one part of song, she asks, “Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?”

This question is relevant to anyone who is married our plans on getting married.

Because if you get married in your 20s, your 30s, or even your 40s, you will recognize your partner and your own reflection in the mirror, looking a certain way.

But as you age and as the years progress, the reality is that your beauty will start to fade.

So when you commit to someone in marriage, are you willing to continue loving them beyond their outward appearance and general exterior?

This question matters deeply in marriage because there are so many stories and accounts of men cheating on their wives with younger women.

It’s a common movie trope and a major cliché for a reason. And that’s because it happens so prevalently.

So when Lana asks that question, it’s her way of laying it all out on the line in vulnerability.

And feeling secure about your partner is still going to love you when you’re no longer young and beautiful is one of the reasons why a person may feel comfortable enough and confident enough to settle down in marriage.

A lot of Lana‘s past relationships were rocky, chaotic, and unstable and her diehard fans were able to figure that out from the context, clues of her lyrics and some of her super tragic and honest songs like Get Free, Heroin, The Other Woman, and Ride.

Ultraviolence might be one of her most melancholy tracks ever, but the sadness of those songs don’t seem to apply to her current marriage with Jeremy, or the lovey-dovey energy of Young and Beautiful.

Blue Banisters

Let’s talk about Blue Banisters and it’s deeper message about unrequited love and delayed love.

In the song, Lana reflects on the pain that comes along with waiting for the right love to come her way, the pain of failed relationships, and men disappointing her, and the sadness of growing older without the security of true love in your life.

For me personally, Blue Banisters is one of my favorite Lana songs of all time. It came out in 2021, and a lot of people kind of brushed past it and didn’t give it the attention or energy it deserved, in my opinion.

It definitely makes me tear up if I pay attention to the lyrics too deeply. In the song, Lana sings, “Cause I’m met a man who said he’d come back every May. Just to help me if I’d paint my banisters blue. Said he’d fix my weathervane. Give me children, take away my pain, and paint my banisters blue.”

In the song, she’s describing a man who made a lot of empty promises to her, including having children with her and taking away her pain.

This person abandoned her and broke her heart. He made a bunch of empty promises and did not deliver on any of it, which left her feeling devastated.

She sings, “There’s a hole that’s in my heart. All my women try and heal. They’re doing a good job convincing me that it’s not real.”

And in that part of the song, she’s describing the way she tries to emotionally heal with the help of her sister and her friends.

But love from the women in her life isn’t enough to fill the hole in her heart that comes from the fact that she does ultimately want romantic love with the right man.

And at the end of the song she sings, “Summer comes, winter goes. Spring I skip. God knows. Summer comes, winter goes. Spring I sleep, heaven knows. Every time it turns to me, all my sisters fly to me. To paint.”

So to break down the ending of the song, she’s singing about the fact that seasons are passing, years are passing, and she’s getting older.

And she fantasizes about skipping through the seasons and sleeping through the seasons because it gets more painful as time continues to pass, and she remains alone and disappointed by men.

So the way this relates to her marriage with Jeremy is that her marriage might’ve felt like a love that took a long time to finally arrive in her life, and she went through many years of pain and longing until it finally arrived in her life, but it was ultimately worth it when it finally did come.

This song describes a man that disappointed her in the worst ways possible by getting her hopes up and leaving her hanging.

But it also describes Lana‘s willingness to seek emotional support from the women in her life as she continues keeping an open heart and waiting for the right man to come. And that is exactly what happened for her.

Mariners Apartment Complex

Let’s talk about Mariners Apartment Complex and the way it leans into redemption and romantic transformation.

These lyrics shed light on being there as a support system for the man she loves. It describes being flawed woman, but still showing up and still trying her best.

Lana sings, “You lose your way just take my hand. You’re lost at sea, then I’ll command your boat to me again. Don’t look too far, right where you are, that’s where I am. I’m your man.“

These lyrics are incredibly beautiful because marriage can be seen as a place of emotional transformation.

Marriage can become the place where you move from being a person who always gets hurt to a person who is always loved, cherished, and valued.

In these lyrics, Lana is seemingly telling the man she loves that whenever he feels lost, she will be there for him, no matter what.

She used the analogy of a person lost at sea on a boat, which is probably one of the scariest places, a person can find themselves lost.

But she brings comfort and warmth, the way a wife brings comfort and warmth to a husband in these lyrics.

Let Me Love You Like a Woman

She stays on theme with that in her song Let Me Love You Like a Woman. This song perfectly relates to her marriage with lyrics that could flawlessly be intended for a wife to say to her husband.

Lana sings, “Let me love you like a woman. Let me hold you like a baby.”

When men are out in the world, they often act a certain way that hides weakness and emotion, based on the fact that we live in a patriarchal system.

They don’t feel comfortable, expressing vulnerability, sadness, or even ever crying in public.

So when Lana sings, “Let me love you like a woman and hold you like a baby,” she’s letting him know that she can be his safe space.

And typically, a wife is a husband’s safe space. He doesn’t have anyone else he can turn to the way he can turn to his wife where he can fully let his guard down and open up with all of his emotions.

Lucky Ones

In Lana’s song Lucky Ones, listening to those lyrics instantly reminds me of the solid love and romance two people feel when they’re locked in with each other in a marriage.

This song came out way before Jeremy was in Lana’s life since she released it in 2012, but the lyrics are so extremely relevant in her marriage.

She sings, “I got so scared. I thought no one could save me. You came along, scooped me up like a baby. Every now and then the stars align. Boy and girl meet by the great design. Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones? Everybody told me love is blind. Then I saw your face and you blew my mind. Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time.“

Her marriage seems to affirm that her hopes and dreams of experiencing a love with that level of passion has finally been realized and achieved.

In the song, she questions, “Could it be that you and we are the lucky ones this time?”

And whenever two soulmates find their way to each other and realize that they’re meant to be together forever, that exact question floats through their brains.

I remember having that thought when I first met my husband. I truly felt so lucky that on this planet of billions of people, we somehow crossed paths with each other and decided that being together was worth fighting for.

Blue Jeans

In her song Blue Jeans, Lana sings of devotion in a way that describes love as almost being mythical and mystical.

In my opinion, this song really ties together with her marriage love story.

She sings, “I will love you till the end of time. I would wait amillion years. Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine. Baby, can you see through the tears? Love you more than those bitches before. Say you’ll remember. Say you’ll remember. I will love you till the end of time.”

These are words that could almost flawlessly be used in someone’s marriage vows, minus the cuss word.

Lana’s marriage seems to reflect her willingness to reach for something real, not just a romantic fantasy.

These lyrics talk about loving someone until the end of time, which is what you are supposed to do when you marry someone.

Marriage is a covenant, and although some people decide to and their marriage is in divorce, the initial plan to love your partner until the end of time is what a married couple is supposed to be fighting for.

Video Games

In her song Video Games, she 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? It’s better than I ever even knew. They say that the world was built for two. Only worth living if somebody is loving you. And, baby, now you do.”

Again, these lyrics are reminiscent of how a married person feels about their spouse.

Especially the parts where she sings about having being a place on earth with her soulmate, and the fact that her life only feels worth living if somebody is loving her.

Some people will disagree that life can still feel worth living, whether or not someone is loving you romantically, but in this song specifically, Lana is leaning into her unbridled/unfiltered passion and desire to experience true romantic love.

The song hints that life simply feels better when you’re in love. And a lot of this reminds me of her marriage.

Ride

These super lovey-dovey and romantic lyrics are five far cry from her most sad songs ever like Ride or Ultraviolence.

In Ride, Lana sings, “I’m tired of feeling like I’m f-ing crazy. I’m tired of driving till I see stars in my eyes. All I’ve got to keep myself saying baby, so I just ride, I just ride.”

These lyrics can be interpreted as her describing a relationship that has brought her to the brink of insanity from all of the toxicity.

She also sings about how lonely she feels in this song when she sings, “I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast. I am alone at midnight. Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I’ve got a war in my mind.”

As someone who personally struggles a lot of existential dread, I can really resonate with these lyrics about feeling like there’s a war in my mind.

I feel like I’m constantly at war with myself, trying to bounce back-and-forth between fighting to achieve my goals or just wanting to give up and curl up into a ball of depression wishing I could disappear.

Ultraviolence

Ultraviolence is equally as sad because she sings, “I can hear sirens. He hit me and it felt like a kiss.”

She also describes the pain of being in a heart-wrenching relationship, knowing that she loves someone who she shouldn’t.

She sings, “I will do anything for you, babe. Blessed is this union. Crying tears of gold like lemonade.”

In a healthy romantic relationship, you aren’t constantly being brought to tears, even tears of gold.

You are simply happy. You are simply content. You are simply at peace. Which is something Lana has clearly described in a lot of of her most lovey-dovey and romantic lyrics.

Like all the ones I previously mentioned throughout this video. Her marriage minded lyrics go hand-in-hand with how it feels to be married to your soulmate in comparison to some of her darker tracks.
