Moreover in concluding the passage, she doesn’t come off as if this person is a lover. Rather seeing his pics ‘makes her lazy’ and also inspires the vocalist to “smoke cigarettes” in a smog-filled environment. So it’s sort of like she’s just chillin’, doing nothing. But the main point of the stanza is her infatuation, if you will, with the addressee. Verse 1įor instance, in the first verse, Lana specifies that the person she is singing to ‘makes her crazy’. But before jumping to any hasty conclusion, note that she also alludes to the idea of this individual being “pretty” and some sort of celebrity, or at least someone whose ‘pics are on Sunset Boulevard’.
In fact it is arguable that the addressee is not a person per se but rather a personification. Also, as will be noted at the conclusion of this post, it is also very much possible that there is more than one addressee at hand.
It’s easy to just chalk them up as another love song and derive what you can from there. But whereas there may be some allusions to romance, all lyrics considered such does not seem to be what Lana is singing about.
