Retrieved October 5, 2012. 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.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 I’m churning out novels like Beat poetry on amphetamines,” Lana sings on the dark, nostalgic “Brooklyn Baby.” The Beat subculture of the 40s and 50s embraced new literary forms inspired by jazz, drug use, spirituality, and a desire to defy the norm. Poet Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” – written in Berkeley, California in the mid-1950s – has proven particularly influential on Lana, and she even includes an excerpt in Tropico.

Before she was penning hit songs, Lana studied philosophy and metaphysics at Fordham University, expressing a deep interest in “how and why we ended up on Earth,” according to a 2017 interview with Vogue. It makes sense, then, that Lana references Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, and the one that tells of Earth’s creation. Only days after NFR!’s release, in an interview with The Times, Lana confirmed that a new project entitled Chemtrails Over the Country Club (originally called as White Hot Forever) was in the works with a potential release in 2020. Nearing the end of 2019, Lana also announced she would be releasing a spoken word poetry album on January 4th, 2020, as the book itself was taking long to hand-bind. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,” Lana reads at the film’s climax. Rather than condemning lawlessness and immorality, “Howl” indicts society for its treatment of those at the margins. By reading the poem at what might be seen as the height of her protagonists’ moral decay, Lana draws attention to their suffering in a world that has proven unkind.At the end of “Body Electric,” Lana eats the forbidden fruit, just as Eve does in Genesis, and the two characters soon find themselves in a postlapsarian Los Angeles, AKA “the garden of evil” and “the land of gods and monsters.” But, as the Adam and Eve figures are expelled from Paradise, Lana reads “I Sing The Body Electric,” celebrating rather than condemning the physicality and sensuality of the human body. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/lanadelrey/images/5/52/Digital_Booklet_-_Paradise_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161120085454 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).

Later, the poem takes a twist and has Lana lean towards the idea of family and the beauty and happiness that comes from that, be the answer to her questions.
