[@mykaylamoe8630]

That's because she's definitely a demented angel. She used her body and looks to ride to the top and now she's singing about it, it's beautifully eerie.

[@kallie5340]

It's so interesting how young and innocent she sounds while singing "I'm your little scarlet, starlet..." But then the rest of the song it sounds very mature. I love that contrast.

[@lilbunny9833]

yeah because of the contrast of the girl in Lolita , how she's innocent but mature at the same time.

[@cdmnumber3fan]

I don't know what it says about me but her obsession with Lolita is so hot

[@nniloveless3499]

Mm…not that she is innocent but mature at the same time..its more like…she is very mature and smart. She's seen quite a bit throughout her lifetime, so she knows how to get her way and all that. BUT she has the qualities of an innocent girl (Alt. sweet voice, beautiful, soft looks) and thats good to have. She can get what she wants with that "innocent" side. Its like a cover up for the "bad girl" It actually comes in handy if you ask me ;*

People have probably pointed this out before, but the noise in the background sounds like a playground/kids playing. In lolita, it ends with him hearing these kids playing and he realises he stole Dolores childhood so she never got to have that. I always thought that was a really cool reference

[@Digmer]

the first time i heard this song, i thought it was about a young woman infatuated of an older man, and asking him to take her out to have fun. but then i realised that in fact is about a young woman who is about to be imprisoned, and this is a desperate call for help directed to an older fellow criminal (probably a dealer) who is the one infatuated of her, and she is using her charme to convince him to help her flee town. she is trying to manipulate him, when she is talking ABOUT the man, she uses her mature voice, but when she is talking TO the man she uses her childish voice, to make him think she is a little girl in trouble, but yet she tells him what to do (do what i want/gimme the gold/pay us), and eventually they do leave town. i love her story telling.

[@avawillams4704]

Damn, I never got that

[@Digmer]

Patrick Fazeli it kind of is, because she is using him, but he is getting something is return, which is her company. both parties are using each other, but she has to pretend not being aware of this as a part of her manipulation. she leads him to think he is in charge, when in reality she is in charge. she is facing jail time, there is nothing left to lose for her, so he is taking the entire risk.

i love the quote from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita, “light of my life, fire of my lions.” The protagonist refers to Lolita this way often throughout the book. Basically the whole song is a Lolita aesthetic and theme anyway, but I still adore that she uses an actual line from the novel Lolita to match with it.

[@emeon_]

She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.

[@rifgaahmed7670]

+Pedro Ribeiro okay open your mouth *mwah*

The lyrics are actually "White bikini outfit , my red nail polish"......LOL wipe bikini off with my red nail polish? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

[@edpan5900]

It means she is taking her bikini off with her fingers, just more stylized. The lyrics are "white bikini off with my red nail polish" as far as I know.

[@heathermason7875]

old ass boomer in 2020 here, just came to say LANA FUCKING SNAPPED ON THIS SONG OK

[@xyzangeel]

She needs to make songs like this for for 5th album! Don't get me wrong I LOVE Ultraviolence & Honeymoon vibes but I agree with a lot of the fans I want BTD vibes again...

after watching/reading Lolita this makes me think a lot from Dolores pov

[@tonyagurno2748]

Yes! "Give me them gold coins" is my favorite reference because without reading or watching the movie you would never get that!

[@lilbunny9833]

which movie is better to watch the old one or the 90s one ? because I read the book but I dunno which movie to watch :/

this is one of the most difficult songs I ever had to sing because she goes from a deep voice at the start then to the highest pitched voice ever at the end

[@anonymouscactus2005]

People talkin about joker and Harley literally kills my vibe, this song is based on the book Lolita and just because you watched suicide squad doesn't mean your a true fan because harley and jokers relationship was horrible, joker treated Harley like shit. And just to let you know I'm twelve and I know this shit.

[@jazzb3371]

Well , to their ill earned credit , the relationship in the song is also terrible.

The way the song progresses from her just wanting to have a sugar daddy and the chic-ness and diva-ness to her falling in love and realising that he is all that she has left and loving him is absolutely genius(feels like heaven to me ;)

oh for music's sake everybody. isn't that what we are all here for - the music?? +Patrick Star - PLEASE don't get into religion crap with us. i am decently catholic myself but i can enjoy music all the same. i understand the commandment 'i will not use His name in vain' but that is TOTALLY separate from the fact that you do not understand how when she references drugs and god and just all these destructive things like those boys she is just alluding to drowning or harmful relationships and/or parts of her life....EITHER THAT OR IT. IS. JUST. ART!!!! WHO THE FUCK CARES what the song talks about, because YOU CAN BET that this is actual music with amazing background tracks and a girl with a good voice. at least we aren't listening to miley cyrus...*shudders* do NOT even get me started on THAT.

[@j.d.mcread2875]

I always thought it was funny that "God's Top Ten Tips on How to Get to Heaven" somehow include, "Don't take my name in vain," "Have no idols other than me," and of course, "Keep holy the Sabbath," but not "Do not molest children" or "Do not rape the truly unwilling." Seems to me those might be a bit more important, but okay... If God said so...

[@elviahernandez3313]

SHIT. JUST SHIT SO FUCKIN beautiful

[@lucasalexander4722]

It shines. The story, the persona. Pure Americana. Film noire, 50s LA. That an individual could have created this vision of a woman's life is beyond me. An x-ray of the soul in all earnestness, and yet, it's capricious, spurious, mischievous. The lost woman as hero. And a triumphant Lana as songwriter and queen. The live version is polished, brilliant and captivating. When will she star in a David Lynch film? They must both humble themselves.

[@roziesrad]

Once you read the book Lolita virtually every Lana song gives you major feels and they all make a lil more sense.

[@miap7860]

Rozie yes !!!! Finally I was like understanding connections between different songs after I read it

[@Epixelle]

I thought she was saying "classroom". This song sounds a lot less creepy now.

[@markchayer325]

@Raven • 😂😂 you got great jokes.

[@salvatore1915]

The shouting at the background (I could barely make out some but some sounds like "up here!") adds such an interesting layer. It confuses me if it's her desperately looking for help or giddily inviting someone. Either way it feels like there are demented undertones which fits perfectly with a demented love song and that's one of many reasons I think Lana is an incomparable brilliant artist.

[@pollyjagger4169]

I love honeymoons so much but i wish there was a song as energetic and upbeat like this one. I mean talk about passionate!

[@SebDan14]

+polly jagger i wanted a song like this one instead high by the beach, at least another "off to the races" in honeymoon :c

[@arkhamcitysirens]

+polly jagger nahh i kinda prefer Honeymoon over Born To Die because it is able to relax me better

[@Boohoow748]

+polly jagger I think honeymoon was one of her more chill albums. The born to die era was and always will be my favorite but I think Lana is testing different sounds with her music I think she'll go back to songs like this though

[@cakecrumb095]

+polly jagger I'm glad at least Honeymoon is upbeat than Ultraviolence, although I respect people who like her more chill songs.

[@SA-sh4uh]

it is the writing is better than 50 shades lol

[@XRaykaX]

I don't think this song is ONLY about Lolita, there are various things in here that Lolita actually could never do; there's references of the girl in this song using alcohol, partying, running around town, being chased by 'something', and obviously her 'old man' does/dabbles with drugs from the 'cocaine heart' thing, not to mention being a 'thief', or a bad man that she says in a way that doesn't just stop at him liking little girls. I think this is Lana's song for herself, with a Lolita fantasy to it. I'm not saying Lana was ever a 'Lolita', I don't know about that, but Lana has already told of her fixation on older men, many of her past boyfriends got in trouble with the law and did drugs, went to jail; I can't remember if she said she's ever been at odds with the law herself, but she did reference being a troubled/alcoholic teen, and that may have had her cross paths with authorities. That line with the 'cause he know I'm wasted' doesn't really fit the fictional Lolita, but it does fit Lana's teenage self; plus the 'Face'n time again on Rikers Island' indicate a past record with jail time; I don't know if Lana's been arrested before, but that's just more evidence that she's talking about (possibly a fictional version of)herself, and not Lolita. Let's not mention the many modern/Californian things in Lana's songs that the characters of Lolita wouldn't/didn't have access to. Yes, the book did influence this song and many others, it's her favorite book, I guess, but I think Lana has written her own little Lolita 'book' with these songs, and not just singing about the actual published story; I believe Lana's Lolita story is a dramatization of herself staring as Lolita and ex(es) staring as Humbert/'Old Man'.

[@raeesaahmad5524]

I love that each of her songs could be used as inspiration for a movie plot and as part of the soundtrack

[@garethwilliams3602]

I know people believe this is Harley Quinn but this song as well as others are based on "Lolita". This songs chorus is (light of my life, fire of my loins) is the opening for the book. In fact the whole album is based on lolita.
