Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For three damn days
Lincoln, Nebraska's got me in a haze
The thing about men like you
Is you got a lot to say
But will you stay?
You say you got my name on your tattoo
You talk to God like I do
I think you know the same secrets that I do
I'm talking 'bout
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander
All those who wander
All those who wander are lost
Oh, no, no, no
It's just wanderlust
(Nope, that's good, okay)
The thing about being on the road
Is there's too much time to think
About seasons of old
As you pour yourself a drink
'Cause every time I said no
It wasn't quite what I meant
If you know what I mean
You say you got my name as your tattoo
Pulling out chairs, opening doors, look at you
You talk to people like I do
I think you know the same things that I do
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander
All those who wander
All those who wander are lost
Oh, no, no, no
It's just wanderlust
Look at me and look at you
Look at what you made me do
Look at me and look at you
Bible on your tattoo
Look at me and look at you
Look at what you made me do
Look at me and look at you
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander
All those who wander
All those who wander are lost
Oh, no, no, no
It's just wanderlust
(Nope, that's good, okay)
(Okay)
In Lana Del Rey's 2019 song Not All Who Wander Are Lost, the lyrics evoke a feeling of restlessness and longing for connection while being on the road. The singer talks about how she has been wearing the same clothes for three days while traveling to Lincoln, Nebraska, and how being on the road can make you think too much about the past. The chorus talks about wanderlust and how not all those who wander are lost. It's a common phrase used to celebrate travelers or people exploring the world on their own terms, but it also speaks to the idea that wandering can lead to self-discovery and new experiences.
The singer seems to be speaking to someone who understands her, who talks to God like she does, and knows the same secrets she does. The man is portrayed as a bit of a gentleman, pulling out chairs, opening doors, and having her name tattooed on his body. The chorus continues to repeat the idea that wandering is not synonymous with being lost, which reflects the singer's desire to travel and explore but not necessarily to find a permanent home.
Overall, the lyrics capture a feeling of uncertainty and longing for human connection while being on the road. The chorus is a reminder that there's value in wandering, and it doesn't always have to be a negative experience. The song is a celebration of wanderlust and the joy of exploring new places.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been wearing the same damn clothes
For three damn days
Lincoln, Nebraska's got me in a haze
I've been stuck here for a few days and haven't had time to take care of myself or my appearance; being here is making me feel out of it and disconnected.
The thing about men like you
Is you got a lot to say
But will you stay?
You're the kind of person who's full of talk, but are you actually willing to stick around when things get tough?
You say you got my name on your tattoo
Opening up doors, pulling out chairs, look at you
You talk to God like I do
I think you know the same secrets that I do
I'm talking 'bout
You try to impress me by doing all these chivalrous things and telling me you have my name tattooed on you, but I see right through it; we have a lot in common, but you're still too eager to impress me.
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander
All those who wander
All those who wander are lost
Oh, no, no, no
It's just wanderlust
Just because someone roams or travels doesn't mean they're lost; it could be that they're simply restless or have wanderlust, and that's okay.
The thing about being on the road
Is there's too much time to think
About seasons of old
As you pour yourself a drink
'Cause every time I said no
It wasn't quite what I meant
If you know what I mean
When you're traveling, you have a lot of time to reflect on your past and think about what you might have done differently; sometimes when I say no to things, it's not because I actually mean it, but because I'm worried about the consequences.
You say you got my name as your tattoo
Pulling out chairs, opening doors, look at you
You talk to people like I do
I think you know the same things that I do
Once again, you're trying to charm me with your superficial displays of chivalry and telling me that we have a lot in common, but I'm not convinced.
Look at me and look at you
Look at what you made me do
Look at me and look at you
Bible on your tattoo
Look at me and look at you
Look at what you made me do
Look at me and look at you
I'm comparing myself to you and feeling like you're trying to change me or put me in a box, when I'm more complicated and nuanced than that; also, the fact that you have a Bible tattooed on you seems like another attempt to impress me, but it's not working.
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander
All those who wander
All those who wander are lost
Oh, no, no, no
It's just wanderlust
Once again, I'm affirming that just because someone travels or has wanderlust doesn't mean they're lost; it's just a part of who they are.

This entire album makes me want to wear a white dress, pick a ukulele and sing and play my way through a beautiful valley and then lie on flowerbeds when I get tired.
