Lana Del Rey brings the truth about the struggles women in society face today. Her flow of melody and lyricism are inspired by torch songs that are known for a person's fidelity to their two-faced partners and the painful emotion that it brings to them while they are with them. Amongst her listeners, she created a community of people who felt like they were seen and heard because her songs evoked a sense of relatability.
She knew that women in society are often pressured to feel like they have to be the ones to fix damaged men. So, the song "Blue Jeans" was brought into creation. In this song, a love story is told between her and an ex-boyfriend who society made her believe that if she loved him despite his flaws, her love would fix him. However, this song helps women realize that the problem lies with these types of men, not in their hands.
She also knew that women often feel the need to be the ones who only bring male-gaze feminine energy into this world to be accepted by the men around them. In her song "Video Games", she sings about feeling detached from her partner emotionally because he is too absorbed in the games that he plays to give her any form of affection. She goes into detail about trying to win his heart by bringing up her feminine energy, but she grew tired of her vain efforts and she realized that she deserved better.
Lana Del Rey has sung about the experience of women at the hands of their abusers. Ultraviolet is the song that is known for her singing about how people feel trapped in an abusive relationship with their partners by telling a story of the relationship between her and her boyfriend named Jim. Honeymoon is the song that talks about feeling on top of the world in the beginning stages of the relationship, but then coming to terms with the fact that the person they fell in love with from the start is someone else entirely whom they need to break away from.
People listen to Lana Del Rey's songs as background noise. But, when people really listen to the lyrics of one of her songs they will see the truth behind the beauty. The truth is that Lana Del Rey's "Sad Girl" persona is not just a persona.
