Break my Fall - Lana del Rey from Paradise
Stop right there
If you really care
Waiting for my bullet train to Kyoto- listening to Lana Del Rey and chipping off old nail polish off my nails. And I’m happy.

Young & Beautiful(Orchestral Version)-Lana Del Rey
from The Great Gatsby Soundtrack
“Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but aching soul?”
just wonderful.
Oh my fucking god.
My absolute all time favorite song. This is a great video too.

“I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer.
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them.
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times.
I was a singer - not a very popular one,
I once had a dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events some of those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.
But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.
When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I’d been living, they asked me why - but there’s no use in talking to people who have home.
They have no idea what it’s like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head.
I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean…
And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying…
Because I was born to be the other woman.
I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.
Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.”
Hollywood’s Dead
Our kind of love
It was once in a lifetime
It couldn’t last
It was doomed from the first time
And you were 50s cool
In blue suede shoes
But it was a cover for all of the trouble
You got into
I always fall for the wrong guy
Things that are bad always taste nice
That’s what girls like me do
Lose you
Don’t tell me it’s over
Don’t tell me it’s over
Hollywood’s dead
Elvis is crying
Vicious in flames
Roland is dying
And in the light you’re sickeningly beautiful
Say goodbye, you’re sickeningly beautiful
This kind of life
Wasn’t meant for the good girl
Try as I might
In the end, it’s a cruel world
And you are living proof
Sinatra aloof
That you were an actor who only went after
The ones who swooned
I always fall for the same type
Gangsters in Vegas on game night
That’s what girls like me like
The limelight
Don’t tell me it’s over
Don’t tell me it’s over
Hollywood’s dead
Elvis is crying
Marilyn’s sad
Hendrix is lying there
In the light you’re sickeningly beautiful
Say goodbye, you’re sickeningly beautiful
If you should go before me then know
That I always loved you
There’s no one above you, baby
Don’t tell me it’s over
Don’t tell me it’s over
Hollywood’s dead
Elvis is crying
Lennon, wake up
Cobain, stop lying there
In the light you’re sickeningly beautiful
Say goodbye, you’re sickeningly beautiful
Say goodnight, you’re so beautiful
Hollywood’s dead
Hollywood’s dead
Hollywood’s dead
Yeah
Hollywood’s dead
Hollywood’s dead
Hollywood’s dead
Yeah
(Cut!)
Damn You
Lana’s got a song for every kind of fucked up relationship.
Brilliant.
Video Games
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, Get over here
And play a video game
I’m in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game
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 want to 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
Baby, now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul’s
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
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 want to 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
Baby, now you do
