White Mustang
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lying on my bed it's a bummer
'Cause I didn't call when I got your number
But I liked you a lot
Slippin' on my dress in soft filters
Everybody said you're a killer, but I
Couldn't stop the way I was feeling the day
Your record dropped
The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white mustang
The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white mustang
Caught up in my dreams and forgetting
I've been acting like armageddon 'cause you
Held me in your arms just a little too tight
That's what I thought
Summer's meant for loving and leaving
I was such a fool for believing that you
Could change all the ways you've been living
But you just couldn't stop
The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white mustang
The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white mustang
You're revving and revving and revving it up
And the sound, it was frightening
And you were getting a part of that
You're gonna hit me like lightening
White mustang
Your white mustang
The day I saw your white Mustang
Said you're a wild Mustang
You're gonna hit me like lightning
You're gonna hit me like lightning
In "White Mustang," Lana Del Rey sings of a summer fling that becomes a tumultuous relationship she can't seem to shake. The song starts off with her packing up her things for the summer and lying on her bed feeling down. She didn't call the person she likes when she got their number, but she still has strong feelings for them. After singing about how she got ready for him and how everyone warned her about him being a killer, she describes the moment she first saw his white Mustang, and how it made her fall even harder for him. Then, as the relationship turns rocky, she sings about how she's been acting like it's the end of the world and how he's been holding onto her too tightly. She's foolishly believed that he could change his ways, but he's too wild to be tamed. The last lines of the song imply that the relationship ended in a dramatic and potentially dangerous way, with the white Mustang revving up and about to strike her like lightning.
The lyrics of "White Mustang" can be interpreted in multiple ways. The white Mustang is a metaphor for the person Lana Del Rey is singing about, but it can also represent the idea of freedom and rebellion that comes with owning a powerful car. Lana Del Rey is known for her lyrics that often evoke feelings of nostalgia, longing, and heartbreak. In this song, she captures the intensity and passion of a summer romance that ultimately falls apart.

Packing all my things for the summer
Getting ready to enjoy the season
Lying on my bed it's a bummer

The day I saw your white Mustang
The moment of realization
Your white mustang

Overreacting to the situation
Held me in your arms just a little too tight
Being suffocated by the relationship
That's what I thought
Realizing something was not right
Summer's meant for loving and leaving

I was such a fool for believing that you
Disappointed by the person of interest
Could change all the ways you've been living
Expecting the person to change for the better
But you just couldn't stop
Being let down
You're revving and revving and revving it up
Building up tension
And the sound, it was frightening
Feeling scared
And you were getting a part of that
Being affected by the person's intensity
You're gonna hit me like lightning
Feeling the power of the person's presence
Your white mustang
Symbolizing danger and excitement
Said you're a wild Mustang
Describing the person as untamed and unpredictable
You're gonna hit me like lightning
Expecting to be overwhelmed by the person

Ты дикий мустанг резвящийся на склонах гор и холмов
Ты божественен и не досягаем для меня
Твоя душа светит как яркая звезда
Ты красив и так великолепен
Люблю тебя чувственно и восхищаюсь
Твоей кристально чистой душой, твоими ангельскими глазами
Ты не с моего мира, ты дикий мустанг
Которого я не смогла приучить
Ты так близко ты рядом, но я не могу тронуть твою душу
Ты не досягаем для меня
Ты резвишься высоко в горах в божественно красивом саду
А я лишь могу думать и мечтать о тебе

Нереальная секси тëлка. Жаль именно сейчас она ещё та буренка.

The greatest and worst thing about Lana's music is that she's so great she invented her own genre. And If you want to listen something with this specific vibe, there's only Lana.
@maggiepie765
OMG IKR? I’ve never heard any other song that gives off Lana vibes - aside from Lana’s songs 💯💯💯
@kailybaily2992
@maggie paloma this is absolutely sad
@domraschke9676
Try listening to Skott, there's similar vibes and a beautiful voice.
@loglady33
Only thing I get the same vibes from is Twin Peaks and Angelo Badalsmenti's compositions in it ❤️
