As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

It interpolates the melody of the track "Anthem" by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen.

In an interview with Interview magazine on February 14, 2023, Del Rey described the track and "Fingertips" as "super long and wordy", containing her "innermost thoughts".

Kintsugi
Lana Del Rey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a certain point the body can't come back from
In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
Chuckie was there for three out of three
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
There for the one who was closest to me
But I can't say I'd run when things get hard
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart

But I've had to let it break a little more
'Cause they say that's what it's for

That's how the light shines in
That's how the light shines in
That's how the light gets in, mm-mm

So everyone was there, they were standin' and laughin'
And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down
There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist
He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
We've only got hours
And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
When you see someone dyin', you see all your days
Flash in front of you
And you think about who would be with you
And then there's Donoghue
Mm

Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
I'm probably running away from the feelings I get
When I think of all the things about them
Daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Cafe
I'm probably running away from the thoughts in the day
That have things to do with them, but they say

That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

Think by the third of March, I was cracked open
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into rain
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi
They sang folk songs from the '40s
Even the fourteen-year old knew, "Froggie Came A-Courtin'"
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing

That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

But daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Cafe
Probably running away from the feelings today
In the snow-capped mountains of the desert
Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
Probably running away, I've been meaning to say
That there's nothing to do except know that this is

How the light gets in
Like cracking, the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Then you're golden
Ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
Just another folk song, but anyway
I try so hard, but that's okay
It's how the light gets in

It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in

Overall Meaning

In the song "Kintsugi," Lana Del Rey discusses the emotional pain of losing loved ones and the healing process that comes with it. The lyrics talk about the various stages of grief, from denial to acceptance. The opening lines, "There's a certain point the body can't come back from/In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth/The depth that the chest cavity takes/Chuckie was there for three out of three," suggest that Del Rey is reflecting on the death of someone close to her. She acknowledges the inability of the body to return to life after a certain point and describes the depth of the pain that accompanies grieving.

Later in the song, Del Rey talks about the feeling of being left out when others are enjoying themselves. She sings, "Everyone was there, they were standin' and laughin'/ And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down." This line suggests that, even in a group of people, someone can feel completely alone when dealing with grief. The line "That's how the light shines in/That's how the light shines in/That's how the light gets in" represents the idea that in order to move past grief, one must allow themselves to feel the pain and allow the light of healing to come in.

Del Rey mentions the Japanese art of kintsugi in the song, which is the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold. This method of repair takes something broken and turns it into something beautiful, much like the healing process of grief. Overall, "Kintsugi" is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the complex emotions of grief and healing.

Line by Line Meaning

There's a certain point the body can't come back from
There's a limit to what the body can endure

In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
In one year, we've learned how to fake a smile

The depth that the chest cavity takes
The extent of emotional pain felt in the chest

Chuckie was there for three out of three
Chuckie was present for all three times of distress

I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
I was only able to be present during the final time of distress

There for the one who was closest to me
Unable to support the one who was closest to me

But I can't say I'd run when things get hard
I wouldn't consciously flee from difficulties

It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
I'm afraid to trust my own heart

But I've had to let it break a little more
I've had to allow my heart to break a little bit more

'Cause they say that's what it's for
They say it's for healing and growth

That's how the light shines in
That's how hope enters our lives

So everyone was there, they were standin' and laughin'
Everyone else was present, laughing and enjoying themselves

And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down
I'm on the outside, crying

There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist
There's something about holding hands

He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
He believed he had control of me

We've only got hours
We only have a short amount of time left

And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
I can't stop crying because of all the memories

When you see someone dyin', you see all your days
When witnessing death, one's entire life flashes before their eyes

Flash in front of you
All your memories come flooding back

And you think about who would be with you
You contemplate who you would want by your side

And then there's Donoghue
And then there's the person who you want to forget

Daddy, I miss them
Father, I miss those who have passed

I'm in the mountains
I'm escaping to the mountains

I'm probably running away from the feelings I get
I'm likely running away from my emotions

When I think of all the things about them
When I think about all the things that remind me of them

I'm at the Roadrunner Cafe
I'm at the Roadrunner Cafe

I'm probably running away from the thoughts in the day
I'm probably escaping from the thoughts of the day

That have things to do with them, but they say
That are connected to my loved ones who have passed, but people say

Think by the third of March, I was cracked open
By March 3rd, I was emotionally broken

Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Finally, the grave felt cold and desolate

Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into rain
The hope and love from our loved ones pour into our lives like rain

There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi
There's a Japanese term for repairing broken pottery, making it stronger by using gold

They sang folk songs from the '40s
They sang classic songs from the 1940s

Even the fourteen-year old knew, "Froggie Came A-Courtin'"
Even a young teenager knew the old song, "Froggie Came A-Courtin'"

How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
How do my family members know all these songs I've never heard before?

I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing
I don't know anyone who knew the songs that I liked to sing

Then you're golden
Then you're in a state of happiness and peace

Ah-ah, ah
Vocalization

Ah, ah, ah
Vocalization

Just another folk song, but anyway
Just another classic song, but it doesn't matter

I try so hard, but that's okay
I put in a lot of effort, and that's enough

It's how the light gets in
That's how hope enters our lives

Well the Grammys are a joke that frequently gives someone on their third major-label album a best new artist nomination. But also people just have different opinions and reactions to music than you. I'm here checking this thing out because it made a lot of people's short lists, and I don't get the hype at all. I'd take midnights, guts, the (boy genius) record, javelin, SOS, desire I want to turn into you, and some others I'm not remembering off the top of my head over this. How you felt about this album doesn't require a voting body's validation, let alone mine, but they also don't require yours.

there is something so grand yet intimate about lana and her music, no wonder she changed the industry so much. to be so influential, yet so humble, lowkey, authentic, and real. You cant help but love her. The day she stops making music is the day that fans of the arts will mourn the loss of one of the prodigies of music.

This song is growing on me a lot lately, it is now in my top 3 in Ocean blvd. And this last phrase where she says that's how the light gets in and her voice is stacked is something from the heavens
Edit (5 months later): nvm, it's favorite song

To think this woman was derided and literally banished bcoz of gratuitous allegations of being phony & projecting false image early in her career only to come out from the other side of the tunnel as the most influential & significant artists of her generation & not to mention the greatest living songwriter of the 21st century is beyond inspirational

Wow, this one touched me deeply. In fact, I am balling right now... Some of the lyrics towards the beginning hit home. Watching my grandmother who has stage four cancer and us literally watching her fade away, is forcing us to watch our days flash in front of us (The whole family). Thank you for this masterpiece of a song and thank you for baring your mind, body, and soul and singing to us again, the body electric. Much love, Xoxo - Kyzae.
