Blue Jeans
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walked into the room, you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You're so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean (oh oh) and love hurts (oh oh)
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember (oh baby) say you'll remember, oh baby ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time
Big dreams, gangsta
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like, "No please, stay here"
We don't need no money, we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was
Chasing (oh oh) paper (oh oh)
Caught up in the game, that was the last I heard
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember (oh baby) say you'll remember, oh baby ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time
You went out every night
And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did, I'd be by your side
'Cause I'ma ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well, shit, at least you tried
But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
Told you I wanted more, that's not what I had in mind
Just want it like before
We were dancin' all night
Then they took you away, stole you out of my life
You just need to remember
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember (oh baby) say you'll remember, oh baby ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time
The lyrics of "Blue Jeans" by Lana Del Rey evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a past love. The song tells the story of a young couple who fall deeply in love despite their differences in taste in music and style. The opening lines of "Blue Jeans, white shirt/Walked into the room, you know you made my eyes burn" create an image of the person she is singing about, who has a striking presence and catches her attention immediately. She compares him to the iconic actor James Dean, who is emblematic of a cool and rebellious attitude, emphasizing the allure of this person.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of the intensity of the love that she feels, proclaiming "I will love you 'til the end of time/I would wait a million years/Promise you'll remember that you're mine/Baby, can you see through the tears?" The emotion behind these lyrics is palpable, as she promises her undying love to this person despite the obstacles that they face. The second verse of the song sees the couple separated due to the man's need to leave town and start anew, but the longing and desire remain, as expressed in the lines "But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died/Told you I wanted more, that's not what I had in mind/Just want it like before/We were dancin' all night."
The overall tone of the song is wistful and melancholic, capturing the universal experience of lost love and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics are poignant and heartfelt, and Lana Del Rey's soulful and dreamy vocal delivery adds a haunting quality to the song, making it a haunting anthem for anyone who has held on to memories of a great love.

I remember the moment when I saw this video for the first time.
It was in May 2012. The time was about 5am, I was sitting on the floor in my room preparing for my 10th grade exams. The TV was on just for background, music playing on MTV.
The first was the sound. The sound you never knew you'd been waiting to hear, something hypnotic and dragging all the attention to itself. I sharply turned my head in a moment, and then... There was the picture. And that was it. 100% coincidence. It was something that you see and realize: I've been looking for it for my entire life, and it will never be the same again.
I stuck to the TV and couldn't turn my head away anymore.
That was the day I became a fan of Lana. In just a year, in 2013, I was already vibing at her concert in my city.
And to this day, I completely convinced that "Blue Jeans" one of the greatest pieces of art in human history. Both the song and the video are amazing.

She is going to be one of those artists that kids will become obsessed with in 30 years and cry about how they were born in the wrong generation.
@chileanyways2077
I hope so...

Lucky that your are not taking about me

Her lorde and Alex turner. I think all three of them have a type of uniqueness that nobody else had or will probably ever have. Lorde and especially Lana are overlooked because most people don’t understand or even bother to try to understand their lyrics and songs, and people don’t pay attention to Alex’s lyrics because he’s part of an all men rock band and his lyrics aren’t what you’d expect from that. Also their popular songs ones like do I wanna know are ones with with pretty ordinary lyrics and people don’t take the time to listen to songs like love is a laserquest, it’s hard to get around the wind or four out of five. I really do hope the next generations will give these people the recognition they deserve, because it’s clear this generation isn’t
@violetdelrey4985
Exactly!!
@gugugagag
Your comment made me think about how lucky I am to be born in this generation
@summerghost6551
This song will never get old and Lana will never get ugly.
Like for eternal beauty.
