I love this new single by Lana Del Rey. The lyrics not so much. The song is
generating controversy for lyrics that some feels condone domestic violence.
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
The song references the Crystals’ controversial 1962 song
He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss). The Crystals song was also accused of condoning domestic violence. Del Rey is generating controversy on purpose. She markets in disturbing imagery in her lyrics and video. It is what makes her music simultaneously fascinating and frustrating.
