Beth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull up in your fast car
Whistlin' my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game"
I′m in his favorite sun dress
Watchin' me get undressed
I say you're the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a 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 wanna 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
An' baby, now you do
Singin′ in the old bars
Swingin' with the old stars
Livin′ for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark
Playin' pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seein′ stars
This is all I think of
Watchin′ all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playin′ 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 wanna 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
An' baby, now you do
Na-now you do, now you do, now you do
Na-now you do, 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 wanna 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
An′ baby, now you do
Na-now you do, now you do, now you do
Now you do
Na-now you do, now you do, now you do
The song "Video Games" by Lana Del Rey is a ballad that depicts the love and devotion a woman feels for her significant other. The opening lines paint an idyllic picture of a lazy afternoon spent with her man, as they relax in the backyard and share a beer. However, it is the simple request to "play a video game" that sets the tone for the rest of the song. Perhaps suggesting that the relationship is built on the foundation of more than just typical couple activities, the woman expresses her desire to cherish every moment spent together, which includes spending time engaging in things that her partner enjoys. Moreover, it emphasizes her belief that as long as her partner is by her side, everything she does is for him.
The chorus highlights the woman's unwavering belief that her partner is the only one for her, reflecting the intensity of her love. Lana Del Rey compares the idea of heaven to the love she has for her partner, stating that being with him is what makes life heavenly. She asks her partner to share his deepest desires with her, revealing that she is comfortable with the darker aspects of his character. The woman expresses her willingness to share his life, even if that means becoming one of the "bad girls" that he might fancy. It is her love and desire for him that shape her personal identity, and she declares that her life is only worth living as long as she has his love.
