Florida Kilos

“Florida Kilos” appeared on the 2014 album Ultraviolence, and captures a sense of rebellion and danger. Come on down to Florida, I got something for ya / We could see the kilos or the Keys, baby, oh yeah paints a clear picture and denotes a moment of choice. While Del Rey’s new husband is a tour guide in Louisiana, not Florida, there’s something unifying about swamp tours—Florida or Louisiana, it doesn’t matter, they have the same essence of thrill and danger.

Honeymoon

This song from the titular 2015 album really encapsulates what Lana Del Rey is all about—tragic, half-doomed, cinematic love. In the second verse Del Rey sings, We both know the history of violence that surrounds you / But I’m not scared, there’s nothing to lose now that I’ve found you. Gator violence, perhaps? We think we’re onto something here. Really, it just feels right to include “Honeymoon” on the list considering Del Rey just got married.

Blue Jeans

A classic from Del Rey’s debut album Born to Die, “Blue Jeans” describes a typical Del Rey love—I will love you till the end of time / I would wait a million years, she sings. The character in the song eventually leaves the speaker while she’s his “ride or die,” hoping he doesn’t forget her. However, the overall sense of being wrapped up in such an all-consuming love makes this an iconic Lana song, and perfect for swamp wandering.

Venice Bitch

From Lana Del Rey’s 2018 album Norman F—ing Rockwell!, “Venice Bitch” paints a picture of the speaker wishing for a Hallmark romance. Give me Hallmark / One dream, one life, one lover, she sings. This leads into the chorus, You write, I tour, we make it work / You’re beautiful and I’m insane. There’s that essence of a doomed love, or at least a very rough one, that permeates much of Del Rey’s work. However, in this song, they’re making it work, balancing their lives. While “nothing gold can stay,” as she sings, the romance is still alive.
