The Man I Love
âĽLana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is Marilyn and Jesus.
Jumping off'a bridges,
Sparklers and streamers.
Honey, I wanna fly,
I wanna fly, I wanna fly.
Is Halloween and Jesus,
Coney Island beaches,
Chandeliers and seizures.
Honey, I wanna fly,
I wanna fly, I wanna fly.
I can't be with the man I love,
I can't be if he treats me rough.
I can't see him, I can't call him up.
All that's real to me,
Is trailer parks and beaches,
Alabama freezes,
Platinum impeaches.
Honey, I wanna fly,
I wanna fly, I wanna fly.
All that's real to me,
Is Halloween and Jesus,
Coney Island beaches,
Chandeliers and seizures.
Honey, I wanna fly,
I wanna fly, I wanna fly.
I can't be with the man I love,
I can't be if he treats me rough.
I can't see him, I can't call him up.
All that's real to me,
Is Marilyn and Jesus.
Jumping off'a bridges,
Sparklers and streamers.
I can't be with the man I love,
I can't be if he treats me rough.
I can't see him, I can't call him up.
The lyrics to Lana Del Rey's "The man I love" represent her longing for liberation, escape and true love. She is disillusioned with reality and seeks solace in fantasies that are far removed from her mundane daily life. Her idea of real things is juxtaposed with seemingly unrelated objects but all these things represent a longing for something exciting, glamorous or radical. Marilyn Monroe symbolizes her longing for fame and stardom while Jesus represents her faith and hope for redemption. Jumping off bridges could signify a desire for a thrill, while sparklers and streamers can represent celebration and joy. Halloween is often associated with escapism, while Coney Island beaches are depicted as a place of freedom, one where she can be herself without judgment. Chandeliers and seizures could be interpreted as both glamorous and destructive.
Lana's lyrics sing of her deep desire to break free from the constraints of societal norms and expectations, to fly away from life's restraints, all in order to be with the man she loves. However, this love is explosive, laced with roughness and absent from her life, making it impossible to connect with him. The last verse of the song reinforces her love for Marilyn and Jesus, the polarity of her desires and life, an indication of her withholding herself from the reality of pain and heartbreak.

All that's real to me,
Is Marilyn and Jesus.
The only things that feel true and genuine to me are the personas of Marilyn Monroe and Jesus Christ.
Jumping off'a bridges,
Sparklers and streamers.
These are the dangerous and thrilling activities that excite me and make me feel alive.
Honey, I wanna fly,
I wanna fly, I wanna fly.
I have an overwhelming desire to escape my current reality and experience something greater, something that will allow me to soar.
All that's real to me,
Is Halloween and Jesus,
Coney Island beaches,
Chandeliers and seizures.
Just like Marilyn Monroe and Jesus Christ, these are the only things that feel authentic to me - the holiday of Halloween, the beach at Coney Island, grand chandeliers, and the experience of seizures.
I can't be with the man I love,
I can't be if he treats me rough.
I can't see him, I can't call him up.
I am unable to be with the man I truly love if he continues to treat me poorly. I cannot have any contact with him, which causes me great pain and longing.
All that's real to me,
Is trailer parks and beaches,
Alabama freezes,
Platinum impeaches.
Like Marilyn Monroe and Jesus Christ, these are the only things that feel genuine to me - the idea of living in a trailer park, the experience of the cold in Alabama, and the tarnish on platinum.

Fuck it I love you :
I like to see everything in neon
Drink lime green, stay up 'til dawn
Maybe the way that I'm living is killing me
I like to light up the stage with a song
Do shit to keep me turned on
But one day I woke up like
"Maybe I'll do it differently"
So I moved to California but it's just a state of mind
It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself, that's not a lie
Wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine
It's killing me slowly
Dream a little dream of me
Make me into something sweet
Turn the radio on, dancing to a pop song
Fuck it, I love you
Fuck it, I love you
Fuck it, I love you
I really do
I used to shoot up my veins in neon
And shit's even brighter, you're gone
So many things I would say to you
I want you
You moved to California, but it's just a state of mind
And you know everyone adores you
You can't feel it and you're tired
Baby wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine
But it's killing me slowly
Dream a little dream of me
Turn this into something sweet
Turn the radio on, dancing to a pop song
Fuck it, I love you
Fuck it, I love you
Fuck it, I love you
I really do
It turns out California's more than just a state of mind
I met you on the boulevard, wind through my hair, you blew my mind
And if I wasn't so fucked up, I think I'd fuck you all the time
(I really do) It's killing me slowly
Fuck it, I love you (I moved to California, but it's just a state of mind)
Fuck it, I love you (It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself, that's not a lie)
Fuck it, I love you (Wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine)
I really do (It's killing me slowly)
Fuck it, I love you (California dreamin', got my money on my mind)
Fuck it, I love you (Chances in my veins, running out of time)
Fuck it, I love you (California dreamin', got my money on my mind)
I really do (Chances in my veins, running out of time)
Fuck it, I love you (California dreamin', got my money on my mind)
Fuck it, I love you (Chances in my veins, running out of time)
Fuck it, I love you (California dreamin', got my money on my mind)
I really do (Chances in my veins, running out of time)

The greatest :
I miss Long Beach and I miss you, babe
I miss dancing with you the most of all
I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go
Dennis' last stop before Kokomo
Those nights were on fire
We couldn't get higher
We didn't know that we had it all
But nobody warns you before the fall
And I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess I'm signing off after all
I miss New York and I miss the music
Me and my friends, we miss rock 'n' roll
I want shit to feel just like it used to
And baby, I was doing nothing the most of all
The culture is lit
And if this is it
I had a ball
I guess that I'm burned out after all
I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess that I'm burned out after all
If this is it, I'm signing off
Miss doing nothing the most of all
Hawaii just missed a fireball
L.A. is in flames, it's getting hot
Kanye West is blond and gone
"Life on Mars" ain't just a song
Oh, the live stream's almost on

i donât think her lyrics or her music are sad, i think sheâs someone who feels deeply. when sheâs sad sheâs depressed, when sheâs happy sheâs euphoric. just look at that smile!! sheâs so adorable
@nenadpopov3601
To me the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life, she's like a fairy or an angel, I hope who ever makes her his wife is aware of what kind of girl he got.
