Lana Del Rey Summertime Sadness Lyrics

Lana Del Rey Summertime Sadness Lyrics On Screen. I do not own anything.

[snyuki]

Most people don’t even realize how legendary this song is.

[emwatchesthings]

My dad introduced me to this years ago. That’s it. No sad story, he’s still alive and happy.

[mayabella]

*cries while listening to this in winter*

[vh]

Take me 7 year to realize this song is about suicide
That lowkey deep.

[annamaria]

Summertime Sadness was written about Lana's best friend who committed suicide.
Lyrics: "I got my red dress on tonight" Even though in the video she is wearing a white dress, she is wearing a red dress to represent the blood on her dress from her best friend.

"Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style, high heels off, I'm feeling alive" Here she is having a flashback to the good times she had with her best friend.

"Honey I'm on fire I feel it everywhere, nothing scares me anymore" The feelings she had overwhelms her and since she's lost someone so important to her she feels as if nothing can be worse than that.

"Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness. I just wanted you to know that baby you're the best"
Girls especially show their love for their best friends in numerous ways, in this case she is kissing her best friend goodbye. She also wants to see her again so she can tell her how much she meant to her and how much she loved her.

"I'm feeling electric tonight, cruising down the coast going 'bout 99. Got my bad baby by my heavenly side, I know if I go I'll die happy tonight." She is being careless with her actions so that if she does die she wouldn't mind because she thinks she will be reunited with her best friend again. Hence "I'll die happy tonight."

"I think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies."
I think she meant that she misses her best friend but will never see her again because she belongs to the sun, and Lana will always be a star. The sun also once started out as a star, but now has become a bigger entity. This shows how her best friend was once with her but she died or moved on, intent on not giving her a second chance.

"Late is better than never, even if you're gone I'm gonna drive."
She's saying how even though she committed suicide she's happy with all the memories they had together and all the times she got to be with her. When she says that she's gonna drive she means that she's gonna try to move on from the past.


In the video the meaning is still the same however it's a bit different. Lana is all dressed angelic and with fog all around her to represent an angel (also to represent her best friend/the blonde girls actions in the video). The blonde girl represents Lana (I know it seems confusing but basically in the video just switch the roles and it makes it 10 easier to understand the concept of the video). While the blonde girl is driving and when she is standing at the end of the bridge she is remembering all the memories she had with Lana. She thinks that if she kills herself she will be reunited with Lana again "I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight.". When the girl jumps off the bridge a red glass drops to represent her death. But in the end even though she thought that if she committed suicide she would be with Lana again, they still did not end up together. That's what made it a summertime sadness.


btw sorry if this is too long i just love this song and i thought everyone should know the meaning behind it!

I GOT THIS FROM THE INTERNET!!

[dogethedog]

*Got that quarantine, quarantine madness*

[koby_in_renaissance]

January 2020 and I still come back to intensify my *depression and anxiety*

[ioanalupu]

[vee]

Here because apparently "it has re-entered the US iTunes chart despite being released 7 years ago"


I see I'm not alone in these feelings then

[cj]

What a disturbingly beautiful song. I swear Lana has a musical gift. The real message is so sad.

[cherriiesss]

"Think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky." this part is so good

[DonLy]

This song makes me wanna dance in the rain with a white dress and no shoes

Or Go to the beach at midnight with a black dress on walking into the water until I go deep then slowly drowning all while watching the moon light.

[ezraeatzkids]

I want to sit on my roof, watch over the town, admiring the sunset and listen to this song.

[Jack__Savage]

I will be 100yrs old singing all Lana del Ray songs

[flirtgguk]

this song is dedicated to my online friend who has passed away today. Even though we havent meet please dont forget that i care for you. I love you so much. Fly High my angel.

[jesseg]

She almost doesn't even seem real. Like she came up out of nowhere with this smooth voice, mellow melodies, and crazy beautiful hair.

[kayleeboham]

I believe this is the most melancholic and joyful song ever. It fits the term, “bittersweet.” It sounds like heaven, but hurts like hell.
