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 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.
