White Dress
Lana Del Rey Lyrics

Sun, stare, don't care with my head in my hands
Lost in thought and reminiscing, feeling the warmth of the sun without a care in the world.

Thinking of a simpler time
Remembering a time when life was less complicated and burdensome.

Like Sun Ra, feel small but I
Feeling insignificant like jazz musician Sun Ra, but still having control over one's life and destiny.

Had it under control every time
Despite feeling small and insignificant, being able to handle situations and life's challenges with ease and confidence.

When I was a waitress Wearing a white dress Look how I do this Look how I got this
Reflecting on a time in her life when she was a hard-working waitress, proud of her accomplishments and how far she has come.

I was a waitress Working the night shift You were my man Felt like I got this
Having the support and love of her partner at the time gave her the strength and motivation to achieve her goals.

Down at the men in music business conference Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen Down at the men in music business conference I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene And I felt seen Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Recalling a significant moment in her life when she attended a music conference as a young adult, and feeling acknowledged and validated for her talents.

Summer, sizzling, listening to Jazz out on the lawn Listened to white stripes When they were white-hot Listening to rock all day long
Reminiscing on summer days spent listening to music, enjoying the outdoors and discovering new artists.

When I was a waitress Wearing a tight dress Handling the heat I wasn't famous Just listening to Kings of Leon to the beat Like look how I got this Look how I got this Just sing in the street
Thinking back on the physical demands of working as a waitress, finding solace and escape through music and singing, and feeling proud of her journey.

Summer's, summer's almost gone We were talkin' 'bout life We were sitting outside 'til dawn But I would still go back If I could do it all again I'd fly Because it made me feel Made me feel like a god 'Cause it made me feel Made me feel like a god Somehow it made me feel Made me feel like a god
Feeling nostalgic about past experiences, and realizing how those memories have brought a sense of empowerment and self-worth.

When I was a waitress Wearing a white dress Look how I do this Look how I got this When I was a waitress Working the night shift You were my man Felt like I got this
Revisiting her past as a waitress with a sense of pride and accomplishment, recalling the support and motivation from her partner at the time.

When I was a waitress Wearing a tight dress Like look how I do it Look how I got this I was a waitress Wearing a tight dress Like look how I do this Look how I got this
Feeling pride in her past as a hard-working waitress, and reflecting on how she found strength and resilience in difficult times.

Made me feel Made me feel like a god It kinda makes me feel Like maybe I was better off Because it made me feel Made me feel like a god Kinda makes me feel Like maybe I was better off
Realizing how past experiences have shaped her into the person she is today, and feeling grateful for the sense of empowerment and self-worth they have given her.
