| Lana Del Rey – High by the Beach Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| I think this song is guised under a boy but I think shes talking about a love/hate relationship of being visible and in the public eye being spyed on and in a sense she is exposed and has no freedom to what her binding is. It could be anything but its bigger than her, and we see this in the helicopter and getting the torpedo to blow up the helicopter that's invasive and invading her privacy. I think she is talking about some expense at something bigger than her that promises are given, but at the expense of her own personal freedom or rights or money in and of itself, ultimately we see the imagery points to not worth it. She wants it all to wash away, this contractual dichotomy that juxtaposes imagery conducive to freedom vs. limitations , and makes you think if there is a cost to freedom and to what expense is it worth fighting back? or fighting for to regain? ...hence the water putting her secrets out there in the open ocean as per the newspapers and documents upon explosion of helicopter, ergo she mentions not through love, but through revenge. peace vs. vengeance raises concern over guilt or thinking this compromise isn't all its worth. fire is transformative ...fire and water cancel each other out. In the fire, you can fight back against the beast if you have the courage to summon your inner strength and value your freedom of the most intimate and humble things she just begs for which is solely to get high on the beach ...something so seemingly innocuous yet so exaggeratedly relating to basic freedoms and rights to just be and be left alone, as suggested by the not furnished empty and transparent hideout by the beach she has ...hence her wish seems seemingly so impossible?? It makes you think about what she really could be inferring although I don't think its about a boy but something beyond paparazzi, fame, publicity...certainly something more invasive and bigger than she alone. | |
