Cover art for Shades of Cool lyrics by Lana Del Rey

This will be brief because I do not want to bore the reader as usual. Have you tried to love someone who's on drugs? A very important fact of the song, is the order in which she mentions the terms. I was the "girl" of an addict. You have no idea how much I love this woman for sharing a cruel reality for us, the side "bonnies" who have to deal with this shit with our mouths closed. We hope our love will change them. We desire so much to be enough, but even in "He lives for love, he loves his drugs, he loves his baby too." There's the emphasized order of Lana knowing his priorities, and she's not definitely one of them. Trust me, I know how blue and dark can turn the world for someone who is not capable of admire the magnificence of the world without being stoned.
