Lana Del Rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you say get over here and play a video game

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed take that body downtown

I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss put his favorite perfume on

Go play your 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 want to 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
Baby now you do

Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame

Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms



Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of

Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing 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 want to 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
Baby 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 want to 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
Baby now you do (Now you do)

Now you do (Now you do)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" is a love song that emphasizes the simplicity and nostalgia of a relationship. The first verse describes a moment with her partner where they are in the backyard, and he pulls up in a fast car, calls her name, opens up a beer, and invites her to play a video game with him. As they play, she wears his favorite sundress, and he admires her beauty as she undresses. They kiss, and she sprays his favorite perfume on herself. The chorus announces that everything she does is for him, and that heaven is a place on earth with him. She then asks him what he wants to do and if he likes bad girls. The second verse describes their relationship as they sing in old bars and stars, live for fame, kiss in the dark, and play pool and wild darts. They attend parties, and she thinks about him all the time.

The Father of Britney Spears is Deep State CABAL.
I met Britney before I secretly married Lana Del Rey (Elizabeth Grant). Elizabeth was barely 18 years old and I was 35 years old.
The recent videos of Britney Spears are coded messages.
The Black Jacket she's wearing is mine from years ago.
I am the insider and the founder of Q.
I am in Australia, I'm in hiding in the Walpole Wilderness in the state of Western Australia.
I am the Violent Storm in waiting to annihilate the Satanic Empire.
I am the biological son of Satan, that's why I have more than a clue.
My entire existence has been deadly games,BUT I have been granted MERCY from Holy Christ.
Blessed be the Holy Messiah my new MERCIFUL MASTER Amen
