Burning Desire Lyrics

Lyric discussion by eliseclair 

Cover art for Burning Desire lyrics by Lana Del Rey

In very much of Lana's songs, she depicts herself as almost insane, and it gives her song a kind of haunting essence. In this song, I think she is saying, she is so in love, or maybe even so obsessed, with this man, she will do pretty much anything to get to him and be with him. She has a burining desire and need to be with him.

"I've got a burnin' desire for you, baby. I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cuz I just don't care."

In this part, she is saying how much she feels the need to be his, so she will do ANYTHING, it doesnt matter, just as long as she gets to him. Also on that note, the lyrics:

"I drive fast, flash, everyone knows it, I'm tryna get to you baby, I'm feeling scared and you know it"

she is also explaining how much she wants this man. I also think she might be afraid of how much she wants to be with him.
