Even individuals living under rocks have heard about Lana Del Rey, so I don't need to tell you too much about the singer. As Del Rey changes the self-image created from the beginning to California dark party girl to New York mystic gypsy, the song 'Ride' deserves a mention. 'Ride' was accompanied by a music video where Del Rey is tagging along with a motorcycle group (possible Hell's Angel's mimic gang). The singer seems disenchanted with life, until riding on the back of a motorcycle. Thus breathing extensive life into her breathless body, where the audience follows Del Rey throughout these adventures.
Although 'Ride' has an underlying tone of unforeseeable change as life happens. Del Rey seems to be running from the life she uses to lead, instead of facing problems head on. So, in reality, by breaking down the song, Del Rey is somewhat an understandable Warhol mastermind. With all the songs detailing personal problems, Del Rey found a simple solution by running away. Del Rey chose the one route all of us from time to time who wish to do the same, only Del Rey had the guts to make an entire song about it.
The theology of Lana Del Rey continues to unfold, as the singer remains a mystery. Many wonders if this individual was crafted by a mega music industry by challenging Pop standards. Or is Del Rey exposing variations of her own personality album by album? No one knows because Del Rey tends to keep everything personal under wraps, where mystery has been known to lie.
Del Rey will have us all guessing until retirement, however, some of us are happy to stay in the dark for a while. Even if that means soaking in as much mystery as our heart's wish to be riding towards desire.
