Riff: Lana Del Rey – “Fucked My Way Up To The Top”

Jun 17, 2014

I am a dragon, you’re a whore/Don’t even know what you’re good for/Mimicking me is a fucking bore/To me, but babe

from Fucked My Way Up To The Top lyrics by Lana Del Ray

What would an album like this be without a good swipe, calling out an artist for their less than savory marketing strategy. Who she’s talking about is not as important as the theme, which is that it’s a seedy world we live in. The biggest concern is the sonic element which stays relatively conservative.
