| Lana Del Rey – Off to the Races Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is obviously about the classic "Lolita", by Vladimir Nabokov as the opening line to the book is "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul." Lana has described her style as "Lolita got lost in The Hood," meaning that she has probably read the book, and based "Off To The Races" on it. I believe she uses the book as an overall metaphor for her own life, or it could just possible weave between the two. I think that when she sings 'And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town', she is using it as a metaphor. When Lana was younger she had problems with alchohol and I think she is saying that the thought of a drink follows her around, like Humbert did Lolita. |

I think one of the meanings is about gaining confidence. It says "I'll cross that bridge when I find it. Another day to make my stand." I think he means that when he finds what he's looking for-his confidence-he'll challenge his fear. It says So "Why don't you use it? Try not to bruise it. Buy time don't lose it." I think this bit means that someone wants him to hurry up and make up his mind and gain his confidence quicker, but he's saying that if you do something to quickly it'll get spoilt. It also says "I'm on a ride and I want to get off. But they won't slow down the roundabout. I sold the Renoir and the TV set. Don't want to be around when this gets out." I think this means he tried to sell his things for confidence-or whatever he's looking for-but he doesn't want anyone to know.:) |

marilyn-marilyn monroe judy-judy garland sylvia-sylvia plath benet ramsey-Jon Benet Ramsey Liberace-Wladziu Valentino Liberace Jesus-Jesus Christ Kubrick-Stanley Kubrick Diana-Princess Diana this song is about a girl who feels insecure and unwanted, she has great talents but whenever she tries to prove herself she messes up or people put her down. she becomes herself in the dark and shows who she really is, the dark is her audience. shes scared to be herself. marilyn was always thought to be the dumb blonde, nobody let her prove herself and so on with different reasons with the others. they died people not knowing what they could have become if people had just let them prove themselves. |
