Brooklyn Baby Lyrics

Lyric discussion by lovaofnovels9 

Cover art for Brooklyn Baby lyrics by Lana Del Rey

I think this song is about Lana (the girl in the song) falling for a guy who's like a serious singer and the people who hang around him, (his friends) think of Lana as trash because she's not like them. I think during the song she sings about all the things she knows about singing, poetry, so she can prove to them that she is worthy of being with them. Towards the end, I think she becomes bitter with all of them because she starts saying thinks like, "and if you don't like then you can beat up, you never liked the way I said it, if you don't forget it, then i don't have to fucking explain it." She's drifting away from him and his friends and realizing she started becoming someone else just to meet someone else's expectations of her. THe last lines in the song IDK if it's just me but I hear a male voice too so maybe her "boyfriend" was mocking her for what she was saying and no she realized she doesn't need him anymore like she thought.
