Summertime Sadness
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best
I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feeling alive
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore (one, two, three, four)
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore (one, two, three, four)
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, (drive) drive
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

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!

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got my red dress on tonight
Dancin' in the dark, in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feelin' alive
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
(One, two, three, four)
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruisin' down the coast, goin' about 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
(One, two, three, four)
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive (drive), drive
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Sub Cutie commented here a year ago and said "I think we are a generation who loves to be sad tbh" the comment has a lot of replies so I want to reply here to let people see this comment since this song has sadness in it too , and I need to reply on that and get this out of my chest
We do not , nobody choose to be sad and NOT happy , billions of people with thousands of religions are dreaming to reach happiness in another life and NOT in this one in a olace called "heaven" , the main goal for them and almost for everybody.
Sadness is a really hard and painfull feeling , it also can cause real health problems , mentaly , emotionaly and physicaly .. and I've been there
We are a sad generation , more sad than the previous generations who experienced deadly deseases , wars and starvations .. because we have started to see the whole sad reality / life , since the world became a smaller place
Instead of hearing on the radio or from people or read in the newspapers about 1 or 2 bad news a week , now we can see , read and hear 1 or 2 hundred of bad and stressful news a week , we can even see them live from anywhere .. we descovered that life is not that perfect , I mean all nature with all it's creatures including the scary ones , people ..
And just like bad news , hate , bullying and hurting are big and wide than ever now
So we became isolated because we bacame more afraid and more invested on watching news , vlogs , people , trends ..... everyday , trying to choose the right thing and being like some people who look happy , act like them or even look like them so as to have a better life .. that's what WHY we are sad almost all the time , we didn't choose to be like that
I've been the happiest person ever in my childhood even I went through a lot , but since techs and social media and stuff started to grow and be part of our daily life , I turned sad like I turned a sad mode in my head and chest , from what and how much bad things I see everyday , Even Lana started her career happy singing about video games and stuff.. but people , situaltion and reality change you , and can turn you from a normal (happy ans sad) person , to a real sad poor 'thing' , LITERALLY ! And that's our generation this last 10 or 15 years
And for me , I am thankfull to Lana Del Rey for keep in it real and so as Bellie Eilish too , they are talking about our today's reality that it's not just fun and unicorns , rainbows and pinky roses and cars and those California teenagers and keep it up with the K ..
