West Coast Lyrics

Cover art for West Coast lyrics by Lana Del Rey

This song seems pretty straight forward to me. I suppose you can “deeply interpret it” but simply it’s about a woman who is torn between 2 worlds/loves On 1 hand she has a love who seems like something she understands and reminds her of herself(crazy and cubano como yo) but she struggles becuase there’s another who is the bad boy/ dream boy(parliaments are fire and his hands are love). Here in California we call it Californication, you give up your soul in essence for chasing that dream…fame and power.
