Au cœur de Lust for Life, son nouvel album, Lana Del Rey a titré une chanson God Bless America – And All the Beautiful Women in It. Plus tôt dans la tracklist, dans les paroles (et le clip) du single-titre, en feat. avec The Weeknd, on la suit en pleine escalade du panneau Hollywood dans un mouvement clair d’empowerment. Un hasard après quelques mois de présidence Trump ?
Le divorce est consommé entre Lana Del Rey et le pays qu’elle a souvent incarné de manière détournée, via l’imaginaire d’un “personnage lynchien” (comme on l’a souvent entendu) hanté par les mélodies du passé et quelques mythes de liberté. Il y a une sorte d’éveil dans Lust for Life.
Lust for Life est le 5e album studio de Lana Del Rey. L'album est sorti le 21 juillet 2017. Lana Del Rey a d'abord discuté de l'album qui allait succéder à Honeymoon lors d'une interview du magazine New Musical Express en décembre 2015 . En février 2016, lors du gala des pré-Grammy, Del Rey a confié au magazine Billboard que son disque à venir prendrait une direction différente de Honeymoon , tout en gardant la même estéthique .

Climb up the H of the Hollywood sign, yeah
In these stolen moments
The world is mine
There's nobody here, just us together
Keepin' me hot like July forever
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
We're the captains of our own souls
There's no way for us to come away
'Cause boy we're gold, boy we're gold
And I was like
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain't right
'Cause we're having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Then, we dance on the H of the Hollywood sign, yeah
'Til we run out of breath, gotta dance 'til we die
My boyfriend's back
And he's cooler than ever
There's no more night, blue skies forever
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
We're the captains of our own souls
So there's no need for us to hesitate
We're all alone, let's take control
And I was like
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain't right
'Cause we're having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
My boyfriend's back
And he's cooler than ever
There's no more night, blue skies forever
I told you twice in our love letter
There's no stopping now, green lights forever
And I was like
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
