Riff: Lana Del Rey – “Groupie Love”

Jul 24, 2017

This is my life, you by my side/Key lime and perfume and festivals/Taking our dreams, turning them to things/It’s like magic, babe, isn’t life wonderful?

from Groupie Love lyrics by Lana Del Rey

Her love is so obsessive that she is now feeling like a groupie. High profile relationships are a reoccurring theme, providing her with explosive fodder. She’s alienated by her own emotions, and it allows her to see life from an unorthodox angle. Heartache is a potent brew, and once she gets a sip it’s a wrap; an intoxicating look at fandom and romance.
