God’s dead. I said, ‘Baby that’s alright with me,’” Lana sings on “Gods & Monsters.” Lana’s early career was saturated in fatal, nihilistic themes, but this is the only time she directly quotes philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. However, it should be noted that she took a more optimistic turn in 2017 with the release of Lust for Life, even opting to smile on the album cover. Allen Ginsberg

Before using Del Rey, she initially chose the alternate spelling Lana Del Ray and released an album under that name, but ultimately chose the latter moving forward.

Though Ernest Hemingway never met T.S. Eliot (and actually expressed quite a bit of distaste for the poet’s work), they are often brought into dialogue with one another – including on Lana’s Honeymoon. Following “Burnt Norton,” Lana croons, “You’re my religion,” a line presumably taken from A Farewell to Arms. On “Money Power Glory” from Ultraviolence, Lana also subtly nods to The Sun Also Rises, singing, “The sun also rises / On those who fail the call.” Mary Shelley and Victorian Literature

The “on that side of paradise” line on “Tomorrow Never Came” finishes with another speculated literary reference: “In the tropic of cancer.” It’s possible that Lana is referencing the latitude where the sun is most directly overhead, which is arguably its own kind of paradise. However, fans have also theorized that this is a call out to Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller, which is “notorious for its candid sexuality.” If they’re correct, this wouldn’t be the first time Lana has referenced a controversial piece of literature, as both Tropic of Cancer and Howl have both been at the center of famous obscenity trials. T.S. Eliot There's a line of the demo version of This Is What Makes Us Girls if I remember correctly (I don't have my booklet nearby and can't find a scan so I'm not sure).

Retrieved January 4, 2020.I had a thought for a while about how I wanted the album to be around a dollar because I just love the idea that thoughts are meant to be shared and that they were priceless in some way, and there was a second part that I’d been thinking of before releasing it which was that I wanted half of what the spoken word is going for to benefit Native American organizations around the country, whether it was for preserving their rights or trying to help keep their land intact. I had wanted to do it because in doing my own work in connecting to my family lineage, I was encouraged to also try and connect with the country’s lineage—this was a while ago—and it kind of informed the next album that I’ve been working on. And I just really wanted to sort of pay homage to this country that I love so much by doing my own reparation, I guess I would say, my own reparative act. I know it’s an unusual choice, and I have no reasoning for it other than it just feels right to me, so as long as my spoken word album is distributed, half of it will be going to Native American organizations across North America.
