Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell
[Verse 1]
Goddamn, man-child
You fucked me so good that I almost said "I love you"
You're fun and you’re wild
But you don't know the half of the shit that you put me through
Your poetry's bad and you blame the news
But I can’t change that, and I can't change your mood, ah
[Chorus]
'Cause you're just a man
It's just what you do
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue
Yeah, you're just a man
All through and through
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue
Blue, blue, blue
[Verse 2]
Goddamn, man-child
You act like a kid even though you stand six foot two
Self-loathing poet, resident Laurel Canyon know-it-all
You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you
But I don't get bored, I just see it through
Why wait for the best when I could have you? You?
"Norman fucking Rockwell" is a portrayal of a complicated relationship between an emotionally disturbed man and the woman who loves him. The lyrics depict a lover coming to terms with her partner's issues and trying her best to understand him in spite of them. The emotive song expresses the challenge of loving someone and reflects on the complexity of human relationships. This bitter-sweet song explores the idea that love can sometimes be messy and hopeless but it can be enduring if the commitment and dedication is real. The blue imagery of the chorus encapsulates the sadness felt in the relationship and serves as a reminder of how fragile humans can be. It is the opening track from Lana Del Rey's sixth studio album of the same name.
