Lana Del Rey - Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd
[Verse 1]
Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard?
Mosaic ceilings, painted tiles on the wall
I can't help but feel somewhat like my body marred my soul
Handmade beauty sealed up by two man-made walls
And I'm like
[Chorus]
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like it
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Therе's a tunnel under Ocean Boulеvard
[Verse 2]
There's a girl that sings "Hotel California"
Not because she loves the notes or sounds that sound like Florida
It's because she's in a world, preserved, only a few have found the door
It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors, running down the corridor
Oh, man
[Chorus]
When's it gonna be my turn?
Don't forget me
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like me
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
[Verse 3]
Harry Nilsson has a song, his voice breaks at 2:05
Something about the way he says "Don't forget me" makes me feel like
I just wish I had a friend like him, someone to get me by
Lennon in the back, whisperin' in my ear
"Come on, baby, you can thrive"
But I can't
[Chorus]
When's it gonna be my turn?
Don't forget me
When's it gonna be my turn?
Open me up, tell me you like it
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
You might also like[Bridge]
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
Don't forget me
Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
[Outro]
Don't forget me, don't forget me
No, don't, don't forget me
Don't you, don't you forget me
And I'm like “Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd“ is about achieving a sense of self-love and being seen and remembered in the world. In the song, Lana compares herself to the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard - a potentially overlooked and forgotten space, connecting two isolated areas. Lana's lyrics hint at the idea that humans and their stories also become forgotten just like the tunnel which is why she pleads for someone to open her up and help her see her own beauty and worth, "fuck me to death, love me until I love myself". The song also mentions heading to places such as the 'Hotel California' and being reminded by the music of Harry Nilsson's "Don't Forget Me" to be remembered and valued. Ultimately, the song serves as a powerful reminder to individuals to nurture themselves and not let themselves become forgotten. Oh Man. It is the second track from Lana Del Rey's ninth studio album of the same name.
