Lana Del Rey - How to disappear
[Verse 1]
John met me down on the boulevard
Cry on his shoulder 'cause life is hard
The waves came in over my head
What you been up to, my baby?
Haven't seen you 'round here lately
All of the guys tell me lies, but you don't
You just crack another beer
And pretend that you're still here
[Chorus]
This is how to disappear
This is how to disappear
[Verse 2]
Joe met me down at the training yard
Cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard
I know he's in over his head
But I love that man like nobody can
He moves mountains and pounds them to ground again
I watched the guys getting high as they fight
For the things that they hold dear
To forget the things they fear
[Chorus]
This is how to disappear
This is how to disappear
"How to disappear" is a reflective track about coming to terms with a past relationship while living in the present. The song points out the importance of understanding the past, accepting it, and ultimately moving on. The lyrics discuss the narrator's yearning for a past love, while she is surrounded by the comforts of the world around her including the "California sun and the movie stars". At the same time, the narrator notes that she is still here, and she will be right here– suggesting that she is at peace with her past and is no longer trying to escape it. The chorus, "this is how to disappear", can be interpreted as learning how to let go, and no longer be defined by the past. The song implies that, in learning to disappear from the past and move forward, the narrator can find peace, love and solace. It is the seventh track from Lana Del Rey's sixth studio album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!
