| Lana Del Rey – Pawn Shop Blues Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I've loved this song for a year now and just had a revelation about it. I think this song takes place in the 60's, obviously Lana's favourite time period. It's not only about a girl breaking up with her boyfriend and selling off jewelry he bought her for some money, or to get over the relationship. I think this is a girl so lost and confused she is joining a cult, similar to the one Charles Manson started. "I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no But I gotta get to and from where I come And it's gonna take money to go" Example that they had little food to eat and had to sell off all their possessions and give money to their leader. In return they were promised a place in some holy after life. "In the name of higher consciousness I let the best man I knew go" She let her boyfriend, and probably all loved ones, go in exchange for some kind of promised relationship with god. |
