LYRICS
[Verse 1]
When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate someā
smallā
intention
Or maybe justā
get your attention for a minuteā
or two"
[Verse 2]
Will I die? Or will I get to that ten-year mark?
Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?
And if I do, will you be there with me, Father, Sister, Brother?
[Verse 3]
Charlie, stop smoking
Caroline, will you be with me?
Will the baby be alright?
Will I have one of mine?
Can I handle it even if I do?
It's said that my mind
Is not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
I guess I'll be fine
[Verse 4]
It wasn't my idea, the cocktail of things that twists neurons inside
But without them, I'd die
They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy, I
See nothing Greek in it
Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Dave
Who hung himself real high
In the National Park sky, it's a shame and I'm crying right now
To get to you, save you, if I take my life
Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
Give you two seconds to cry
Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
'Cause, baby, I
Ran through a time when I felt you were doing it
[Verse 5]
I couldn't handle it, I was in Monaco
I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone
I had to sing for the prince in two hours
Sat in the shower
Gave myself two seconds to cry
It's a shame that we die
[Verse 6]
When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
But, sometimes, it's just not your time
[Verse 7]
Caroline, what kind of ** was she to say I'd end up in institutions?
All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Greene and sit by
The lake, twisting lime into the drinks that they made
Have a babe at sixteen, the town I was born in, and die
[Verse 8]
Aaron ended up dead and not me
What the fuck's wrong in your head to send me away, never to come back?
Exotic places and people don't take the place of being your child
I give myself two seconds to cry
[Verse 9]
Let it crash over me
Like the waves in the sea
Call me Aphrodite
As they bow down to me
[Verse 10]
Sunbather, moon chaser, queen of empathy
I give myself two seconds to breathe
And go back to being a serene queen
I just needed two seconds to be me

This might be one of the most heartbreaking songs she ever recorded, if not her best! Itās like a stream of consciousness and emotion, with Lana addressing thoughts of about her family member who passed, that line about wanting his spirit to watch TV next to her, made me chuckle but cry at the same time, and the fact that the lyric about when she was Sixteen and a drive by happened, about how they pulled her up by the waist, could be addressing a certain line she spoke about in A&W, and when she said that she wanted to go out like you, in the town she was born in and wanted to die, thus referencing Born to Die!? So much to unpack and of course this is all speculative, but this song really impacted me! I Truly Hope you are Okay Lana, the World wouldnāt be the same without You, or your music, you help us find that light within the cracks of our hearts, so just know the impact you really have had, on so many people. Thanks for helping me along with mine ā¤ļø

I knew this album was going to hit hard, but damn was I not prepared for a song like this. It's a song that contemplates death, suicide, motherhood, family bonds, broken bonds, and honestly so much more that I haven't even realized just yet. Lana is so brave for shining a light on the darkest parts of her soul to us like this.
