Riff: Lana Del Rey – “Change”

Jul 24, 2017

There’s something in the wind, I can feel it blowing in/It’s coming in softly on the wings of a bomb/There’s something in the wind, I can feel it blowing in/It’s coming in hotly and it’s coming in strong

from Change lyrics by Lana Del Rey

The everlasting theme of change seeps its way into her psyche. She’s witnessing nature and it’s expansive march forward. The feeling is leaving her nostalgic and she’s preparing herself for the inevitable. Life has come at her hard and fast, and she’s hoping that she can weather the storm. Her inner strength has given her a grounded sense of self, and the hope is that it’ll sustain her once more.
