Riff: Lana Del Rey – “Heroin”

Jul 24, 2017

Probably gave you everything and took your life away/I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land/My hope’s that you come back again/And tell me everything’s okay, ay, babe, yeah

from Heroin lyrics by Lana Del Rey

Drifting in and out of her imagination, hoping to be swept away by the tide of time. She’s dreaming of a distant past, a place where she is free to let her spirit roam. In her memory she can express herself openly, and share her emotions with the one person she shouldn’t be sharing her emotions with. Her heart is swollen and she’s looking for respite in a place no one can touch.
