Like a toxic relationship made her stronger after she left it. It does make you wonder if there is something deeper within the metaphor. Interestingly, violets are known for wisdom. Del Rey is known for mentioning flowers frequently in her music. In this song, she talks about moving past a toxic relationship. The empty parties and the lonely nights are some of the metaphors she brings up in the record.Īnother song that I found profound was Violets for Roses. The album leaves a lot of room for her self-reflection. In the song “Blue Banisters,” Del Rey questions her sanity. The songs speak of what it means to be a single woman. The album also digs deep into the battles that she fights inside. In this song, her metaphors speak so much for just a few words. What makes her music so interesting is her use of metaphors. She finds her meaning in life through escapism that seems to be a central theme in the album.ĭel Rey constantly brings up the City of Angels, another name for Los Angeles, in her music and compares herself to that image. Del Rey also compares her own body to her current home, California. She speaks of another world in space where the body and soul are ultimately connected. “Arcadia,” which is arguably the most popular song on the album, is otherworldly. Del Rey holds her place while telling a story the only way she knows best – through poetry. Her voice in “Blue Banisters” still holds up its melancholy and haunting sounds. She reminisces about the past yet seeks her future.
Her album opens with the song “Text Book.” In this song, Del Rey alludes to her complicated relationship with her father.
Grammy-nominated artist Lana Del Rey recently released her eighth studio album “Blue Banisters” on Oct.
