Peppers
Lana Del Rey [feat. Tommy Genesis] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
Me and my boyfriend listen to the Chili Peppers
We write hit songs without trying like all the time, all the time
I take off all my clothes, dance naked for the neighbors
I threw caution to the wind, get onto the bike
Take a minute to yourself, skinny-dip in my mind
I'm in love
I'm in love
Got a knife in my jacket, honey, I'm divine
Baby, I'll bring the coffee if you bring the wine
I'm in love
I'm in love
('Cause I'm in love)
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
I sit upskirt, I don't have much to lose
I got a dog, I take it for a midnight, a midnight drive, yeah
My boyfriend tested positive for COVID, it don't matter
We've been kissing, so whatever he has, I have, I can't cry
I threw caution to the wind, get onto the bike
Take a minute for myself, skinny-dip in my mind
I'm in love
I'm in love
(I'm in love)
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
You know, you should, like, merge the songs (maybe you should do something like)
The Dick Dale type song (you know that song that's like)
Where like, the Wipeout I think?
You know what I'm saying? The one that's like, "Wipeout, Wipeout"
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie
Let me put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair
Do a fat criss-cross in the back somewhere, ha
The lyrics to Lana Del Rey's song "Peppers" feat. Tommy Genesis are full of contradictions and metaphors. Angelina Jolie's name is used to describe a sexually dominant position, where Lana seems to be the one who is in control. She then sings about writing hit songs without trying and throwing caution to the wind, which is followed by a mention of her boyfriend being COVID positive, but not caring because they've been kissing. This carefree attitude is further emphasised when she takes off all her clothes and dances naked for her neighbours.
The song is all about embracing a fearless, wild side and embracing love, even if it means doing something out of the ordinary. The metaphors of skinny-dipping and biking emphasise the idea of living life on one's terms, without fear or inhibition. It is Lana's creative way of expressing her feelings about living freely and exploring new, uncharted territories without caring what anyone else thinks.
Overall, "Peppers" is about breaking free from stereotypes and societal expectations, and embracing one's inner wild child. It is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance, love, and fearlessness.
