Lana Del Rey Lyrics For Any And Every Situation

by Chelsea Mize

Life can be a confusing ride and it's only normal to look for guidance. There are a number of places you can turn to for advice – some look to philosophy, others find solace in religion. Life inspiration can come in a myriad of forms and sometimes it arrives in strange ways. Like, say, via the sultry words of a songstress, for example, Lana Del Rey. Though you might not have noticed it before, she has a surprising amount of wisdom to share, as you can see in these 15 perfect Lana Del Rey lyrics that describe every situation.

As you probably already know, Lana is a straight up goddess. She's fierce, she's talented, and she knows exactly who she is and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her.

Though her lyrics seem to focus mostly on romance (and the troubles that come along with romance), if you take a closer look at her words, you'll find that many of her lyrics apply to almost any situation, romantic or otherwise. So peruse these choice Lana del Rey lyrics and see just how perfectly her words are applicable to your own life. You might be surprised just how much you are able to relate to Queen Lana.
