Life As Told By Lana Del Rey Lyrics

For those of you who know her music, you know that her lyrics are limitless. She has this way of expressing the deep thoughts and feelings that are not easy for the world to hear. Lana's lyrics give a platform to the listener with which they can express their mind and viewpoint. Her songs are the embodiment of strength, beauty, authenticity, fearlessness, and reality. The following quotes are just a few inspiring and relatable lyrics from Lana thus far.

"I only know how to do me, so that's just what I am going to do."

In a world where there are so many expectations in life, whether it's school/career, appearance, or relationships, it is so important that you remember that yourself always comes first. You need to live a life that you want and can be proud of, because people come and go, but you need to be happy with yourself at the end of the day.

"You only live once, or so it seems. One life for yourself and one for your dreams."

This is a powerful statement that many will be able to relate to. There are so many circumstances in life that can lead you astray. Time goes by quick and suddenly it seems that it is too late to ask yourself, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" The beautiful thing about life is that dreams and imaginations are endless. Your life might be stuck in a routine, but you can devote a separate section to your dreams.

"Every time I close my eyes it's like a dark paradise."

Everyone experiences that moment of complete exhaustion. You go to rest your eyes, but your mind doesn't stop. Suddenly every worry and concern races through your mind making it impossible to be at peace.

"Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue."

Life is a special thing because everyday has the possibility of being different. You can open yourself up to possibilities and embrace whatever makes you happy. Life has its way of trying to test your strengths with unwanted surprises. You can't let moments like that stop letting you think that life is beautiful.

"Their heavy words can't bring me down."

Never let yourself be brought down by another's words. Their words are nothing but a reflection of themselves and their poor judgement. Nobody has the right to degrade your worth or make you feel any less about yourself. You will always be worth more than someone's opinion of you.

"The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime."

It's a good thing that the road is long. There will always be times of hardship and pain, but that's what makes you become a stronger person. Having fun gives you an optimistic viewpoint on getting through these tough times. The great lesson is to realize that tomorrow is another day, which deserves a refreshed outlook and a big smile.

Lana Del Rey's lyrics on life have true meaning. They speak of true downfalls and hardships. She does not dwell on this and neither should you. Life is beautiful and terrifying all at the same time. We should still live our life with the understanding that strength, optimism, dreams, and confidence can get you through almost anything life throws your way.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
