Video Games
ASAP Rocky & Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull up in your fast car whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here," and play a video game
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed, take that body downtown
I say, "You da bestest"
Lean in for a big kiss, put his favorite perfume on
"Go play your video game"
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do (now you do)
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
(Now you do, now you do, now you do)
Now you do
(Now you do, now you do, now you do)
The lyrics of Video Games by ASAP Rocky and Lana Del Rey revolve around a complex relationship between the two protagonists who seem to be in love but struggle with their own identities and the societal expectations placed upon them. The opening lines set the stage for the nostalgia that permeates the song as they depict a scene of innocent joy: swinging in the backyard and being called out by a lover in a fast car. The notion of carefree, playful innocence pervades the song as the singers engage in activities like playing video games, kissing in the dark, and watching their friends fall in and out of love while they themselves struggle with their own relationship.
The lyrics are particularly poignant in the second verse where Lana Del Rey describes herself undressing in front of Rocky, who holds her in his arms and seems to be intoxicated. Though she tells him that he is the "bestest" and puts on his favourite perfume, the somber undertones of the song suggest that there is a deep sense of longing, loss, and disillusionment that the two are grappling with. The repeated motif of "Heaven is a place on earth with you" hints at the desperation and romanticization of love that the two are engaging in, highlighting the notion that love is the only saving grace in a world that seems to be falling apart.

@Clauder.
A música "Video Games" de Lana Del Rey é uma canção que explora temas de amor, perda e nostalgia. A letra é narrada por uma mulher que está apaixonada por um homem que não a ama de volta. Ela se apega aos momentos que eles passaram juntos, mesmo que eles tenham sido breves e fugazes.
A música começa com a mulher descrevendo o homem que ela ama. Ele é um "bad boy" que vive uma vida de glamour e excesso. Ela se sente atraída por sua beleza e seu estilo de vida, mas também sabe que ele é perigoso.
A mulher canta sobre os momentos que eles passaram juntos. Ela se lembra de quando ele a pegou no carro e a levou para um passeio. Eles passearam pela cidade, e ela se sentiu como se estivesse em um videogame.
Mas a felicidade da mulher não dura muito. O homem a deixa, e ela se sente perdida e sozinha. Ela canta sobre como ele a fez se sentir, e como ela está tentando esquecer o que aconteceu.
No refrão, a mulher repete a frase "Nós nascemos para morrer". Essa frase é uma reflexão sobre a natureza fugaz da vida. A mulher sabe que o amor dela pelo homem é impossível, mas ela não consegue desistir dele.
A música termina com a mulher cantando sobre como ela está tentando seguir em frente. Ela diz que vai se divertir e aproveitar a vida, mesmo que esteja sofrendo.
A música "Video Games" é uma canção melancólica e bela que explora temas universais de amor e perda. A voz de Lana Del Rey é um complemento perfeito para a letra, e a música tem uma atmosfera nostálgica que a torna ainda mais envolvente.
Aqui estão algumas interpretações específicas da música:
Amor fatalista: A música pode ser vista como uma história de amor condenado. O homem que a mulher ama é um bad boy, e ela sabe que ele não é confiável. No entanto, ela se apega a ele, mesmo sabendo que ele vai acabar a magoando.
Escapismo: A música também pode ser vista como uma forma de escapismo. A mulher está vivendo uma vida difícil, e ela se apega aos momentos que passou com o homem como uma forma de esquecer seus problemas.
Autodescoberta: A música também pode ser interpretada como uma jornada de autodescoberta. A mulher está aprendendo sobre si mesma e sobre o que ela quer da vida. Ela está percebendo que não precisa depender de um homem para ser feliz.
Em última análise, o significado da música é subjetivo e depende da interpretação do ouvinte. No entanto, é uma música que ressoa com muitas pessoas, pois explora temas que são universais e atemporais.
Espero que aprecie esta interpretação, que tem como objetivo o processo de desvendar o significado da música, levando a você uma compreensão mais profunda da obra.

Is it the first you hear of this song? I’m proud to say I heard it since I saw the CD cover in a CD shop when the first album came out. i didn’t buy the CD, but immediately came on YouTube to check out her songs then cos I love the aesthetics of the CD & the intriguing song titles as I’ve always been an indie song lover..😆😆 That’s how artists starve lol! All of us listening for free on YouTube. 🤭
I’m in love with most of her songs in the first album and “Thunder” & “Ride” from subsequent albums.
“Thunder” is an unknown song from her which i love a lot & listen to a lot. You’re welcome! It may become your favorite song too. I actually don’t feel like sharing cos I want to have a song that is special to me that nobody knows but at the same time I feel she deserves more recognition:
