Shining like a fiery beacon - this would seem to possibly be another reference to LA Woman, in which Morrison sings 'I see your hair is burning, hills are filled with fire'.
(Del Rey has also alluded to prostitution in the video for Ride - however, I am in no way suggesting she has personal experience, it is merely part of the story of the song and the lifestyle that goes with it.) Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed - she has turned to the dark side of LA in order to survive - this could refer to alcohol and drugs (Del Rey has reportedly had alcohol problems in the past) or even prostitution, whether literal or metaphorical. This is in keeping with the previous line - LA has become a place of evil and sin, it is no longer the paradise it appeared to be, and Del Rey has fallen from grace.
However, evil entered the Garden in the form of the snake, and tempted Eve to sin by eating the forbidden fruit. In the Book of Genesis, the Garden of Eden was the paradise created by God for Adam and Eve. Living in the garden of evil - this is an obvious play on words - the Garden of Eden. If she is no longer an angel it suggests she has succumbed to the dark side of LA - the monsters. This begs the question: what is she now? An angel would be expected to live under God. Her use of the past tense is significant. I was an angel - this could be a response to LA Woman, in which Morrison sings 'are you a lucky little lady in the city of light? Or just another lost angel?’ Del Rey answers that she was an angel. 'Monsters' refers to the vices that permeate LA, whether excessive wealth, drugs, alcohol or fame.
'The Gods' refers to the icons in LA - the Marilyn Monroes, the adored, the promise of what Hollywood has to offer. For many, Los Angeles, and specifically Hollywood, is a sort of paradise, the culmination of the American Dream. The land of Gods and Monsters, as I have mentioned, refers to LA. Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed.' 'The land of Gods and Monsters' refers to LA. The song could also be a response to LA Woman by The Doors - at the very least there are some interesting allusions. However, I am not fully convinced that the song is wholly about Courson.įinally, it could be about Lana Del Rey herself - I think this is the most likely explanation. Moreover, in the video for National Anthem, Del Rey portrays both Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Born to Die is full of references to Lolita, from the 'heart-shaped sunglasses' of Diet Mountain Dew to the track Lolita itself. Del Rey has written in the form of a persona before, so this wouldn't be totally unheard of. It could be biographical, most likely about Pamela Courson - Jim Morrison's love. It could be pure fiction, a story of an unnamed young woman. My InterpretationTo me this song is one of three things: fictitious, biographical or autobiographical.

I see it as a way of saying "Living a fucked up, care free life in a world where everyone is living like there is no such thing as sinning." But, "God's dead" just about sums it up too if you have the ability to open your mind and wrap your brain around the possibility that some songs or lyrics aren't going to be straight forward and to the point. While I understand the general public isn't use to hearing words like "God's dead!" in songs, it doesn't mean this artist is worshiping Satan. No ones gonna take my soul away, I'm living like Jim Morrison." Yup, party rocker promiscuous lifestyle just about sums it up. "I was an angel, living in the Garden of Evil." "Put your hands on my waist do it softly, me and God, we don't get along, so now I sing. I think the entire song is a metaphor about living a dirty lifestyle.
General CommentI suppose some people can't understand the meaning of metaphors or just simply using an artistic approach to explain a situation other than using bubbly pop catchy phrases to get your point across. If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby?
