Venice Bitch
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fresh out of fucks, forever
Tryin' to be stronger for you
Ice cream, ice queen
I dream in jeans and leather
Life's dream, I'm sweet for you
Oh God, miss you on my lips
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin' out, bang bang, kiss kiss
You're in the yard, I light the fire
And as the summer fades away
Nothing gold can stay
You write, I tour, we make it work
You're beautiful and I'm insane
We're American-made
Give me Hallmark
One dream, one life, one lover
Paint me happy and blue
Norman Rockwell
No hype under our covers
It's just me and you
Oh God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin' out, bang bang, kiss kiss
You're in the yard, I light the fire
And as the summer fades away
Nothing gold can stay
You write, I tour, we make it work
You're beautiful and I'm insane
We're American-made
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss
Oh god, want you on my lips (I do, I do)
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
(Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Young baby is back in town now
You should come, come over
We'll be hanging around now
You should come, come over
Oh God, I love him on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
Touch me with your fingertips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
Ba-back in the garden
We're getting high now, because we're older
Me, myself, I like diamonds
My baby, crimson and clover
(La-la-la-la-la-la, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
(La-la-la-la-la-la, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever
Everything, whatever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever
Everything, whatever
Back in the garden
We're getting high now, because we're older
Me, myself, I like diamonds
My baby, crimson and clover
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love

Line by Line Meaning
Fear fun, fear love
I am cautious of both happiness and affection
Fresh out of fucks, forever
I can no longer pretend to care about things that do not matter to me
Tryin' to be stronger for you
I am attempting to be more resilient for the sake of the person I love
Ice cream, ice queen
I am both sweet and cold to those around me
I dream in jeans and leather
I imagine myself in relaxed yet edgy clothing
Life's dream, I'm sweet for you
You are my goal in life, and I show affection towards you
Oh God, miss you on my lips
I yearn for your presence
It's me, your little Venice bitch
I am your beloved romantic partner from Venice
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
I am conversing with the children in my surroundings
Callin' out, bang bang, kiss kiss
I am vocalizing playful gunshots and affectionate pecks
You're in the yard, I light the fire
You are in the outdoors as I ignite a flame
And as the summer fades away
As summer finishes, changes occur
Nothing gold can stay
All good things must come to an end
You write, I tour, we make it work
Despite our distance, we maintain our relationship
You're beautiful and I'm insane
You are attractive, and I have an irrational mind
We're American-made
We are both products of American culture
Give me Hallmark
Provide me with a mass-produced romanticized ideal of love
One dream, one life, one lover
I have a singular wish for a lifetime partner
Paint me happy and blue
Create for me a picture of joy and sadness
Norman Rockwell
A reference to the American painter of idealized American life
No hype under our covers
There are no unrealistic expectations of our intimate relationship
Oh God, miss you on my lips
I ache for you to be close to me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
An exclamation of contentment and enthusiasm
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss
I am ending our interaction with playful gunshots and kisses
Young baby is back in town now
A youthful friend or lover has returned to the region
You should come, come over
You are encouraged to visit
We'll be hanging around now
We will be spending time together
Oh God, I love him on my lips
I deeply desire him
Touch me with your fingertips
Please make physical contact with me
Ba-back in the garden
Returning to the outdoor space
We're getting high now, because we're older
We are using substances to seek a pleasurable experience due to aging
Me, myself, I like diamonds
I enjoy expensive jewelry
My baby, crimson and clover
My dear one is akin to a red tone and a plant
(La-la-la-la-la-la, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
A randomly placed melody
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever
An expression of apathy
Everything, whatever
Disinterest towards everything
Crimson and clover, honey
A repetition of a previous theme
Over and over, honey
Continually repeated
If you weren't mine, I'd be
If you were not in a relationship with me
Jealous of your love
I would have feelings of envy towards those with whom you had romantic involvement
