| Lana Del Rey – Fucked My Way Up to the Top Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think this song is about Lizzy Grant a.k.a herself. In this case, Lana impersonates Lizzy and sings about her own alter ego. She said in some interview that it was about "an artist who mocked her and now uses her style and is a success". Lana is always very critical about her work and now she finally is making it to the top. "You got nothing, I got tested, and I'm the best, yes." - Lana Del Rey achieved the spotlights and her dreams while Lizzy Grant is now in the shadows. Even though Lana was always very critic towards her own work. "I fucked my way up to the top, this is my show, I fucked my way up to the top...Go baby go" - The chorus seems to be about another interview where she stated she had a relationship with a businessman involved with the music industry, and the reflection of this in the media outlets. They make Lana the persona they want to be. "I'm a dragon, you're a whore, don't even know what you're good for, mimicking me is a fucking bore to me." - Now that she's the best she doesn't need to look back to the past. Mimicking her own style is boring and tiring. "Need you baby, like I breath you baby" - Even though she wants to put that behind, she can't - Lizzy needs Lana as much Lana needs Lizzy Grant. Her past is her past, and it's a part of her being. She needs it like she needs to breath. This song is a great example of satire and self reference on the album. It really got my attention the first time I read the title and from that moment it passed through my mind this would be some kind of inside joke. It really works, and it's a pretty great way to take it at her detractors with her OWN image. |
