"Shades of Cool", sebuah lagu memikat karya Lana Del Rey, melukiskan potret hubungan yang kompleks dan mustahil. Lagu ini berputar di sekitar seorang pria yang tinggal "dalam nuansa biru", terikat pada hati yang "tidak dapat diperbaiki" yang ditutupi dengan sikap "sejuk". Narator, meskipun tidak dapat "memperbaikinya" atau "membuatnya lebih baik," terbuai oleh pesonanya yang berbahaya, menemukan dirinya di antara "banyak" wanita yang berkutat dalam lingkaran hubungannya yang tidak stabil.
Shades of Cool Lyrics
Lana Del Rey
[Verse 1]
My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
He drives a Chevy Malibu
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
He lives for love, he loves his drugs, he loves his baby too
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't fix him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather
[Chorus]
But you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable
[Verse 2]
My baby lives in shades of cool
Cool heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many on his blue
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
He prays for love, he prays for peace, and maybe someone new
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't help him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather
Chorus
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
He drives a Chevy Malibu
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
He lives for love, he loves his drugs, he loves his baby too
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't fix him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather
[Chorus]
But you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable
[Verse 2]
My baby lives in shades of cool
Cool heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many on his blue
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
He prays for love, he prays for peace, and maybe someone new
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't help him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather
Chorus
