Some of of Lana Del Rey’s lyrics give off love-dovey, romantic, marriage-minded energy.
Here’s a breakdown of how Lana’s marriage to Jeremy Dufrene connects with lyrics from her discography.
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.
