I think her idea of romance if dying together. Death and the idea of love after death is romantic to her. She has a lot of songs about love after death as the ultimate statement of love, and how she just can't wait to die to be together in the afterlife (Dark Paradise, Million Dollar Man, Summertime Sadness). And "Blue Jeans" and "Shades of Cool" continues the story of the trilogy that began with Born to Die.
Channeling angels in the new age: the line before was “seen the world, lit it up as my stage now”, so channeling angels in this instance means that her singing is angelic and otherworldly. “In the new age” refers to her having a very classical/vintage style, but updated for modern times. Lana writes beautiful lyrics. She originally wanted to write poetry, and studied metaphysical philosophy at university. She’s also very spiritual.
Her degree is just in philosophy, no idea why she tells people she majored in metaphysics when that's not even a degree that Fordham offers lol. They do offer a few courses in metaphysics though so that's probably what she means.
I loved this reaction! The Born to Die one as well, I've been a Lana fan for YEARS, and watching people discover her sound and analyze her lyrics is one of my favorite things, I would love to see an Album reaction, Her albums tell such vivid stories, and If you start with Born to Die (The Album) you also get to see how shes changed through the years and its super cool.Totally get if that isn't in the cards though, haha, I'm just happy to subscribe and hope for more Lana videos at all lol.
I feel like young and wild almost always paired together, so shes saying will you still love me when im old and im not as fun or wild as I used to be in the chorus.
You're thinking of "but I'm hoping at the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine." and yeah it definitely seems to be a concern of Lana's that she's going to make it to heaven but her man won't be able to come with her 😭
