Text Book is a song by singer Lana Del Rey that was released on May 20, 2021. This is the third and final of the surprise release singles from Lana's upcoming album, Blue Banisters.
Here on "Text Book", Lana goes back to her country that first heard on her albums "Norman F***ing Rockwell" and "Chemtrails Over The Country Club".
This dreamy track finds the singer reminiscing about her self-discovery and first loves. She takes her listeners on a journey with her father and being blinded by luxury on the first verse with the lyrics:
I guess you could call it textbook
I was looking for the father I wanted back
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had my back
I was looking for the father I wanted back
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had my back
On the chorus, Del Rey starts connecting the dots between her father and her partner hoping that things will turn out differently for her singing:
You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
She makes a reference to Black Lives Matter as a sign of entering into a new way of activism with the lyrics:
And there we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
Oh my gosh, you guys. Lana Del Rey did not come to play when she dropped these three gorgeous songs without any promotion or announcement whatsoever. Text Book is an awesome song and I liked the way that it sound from beginning to end.
I highly recommend that you listen to all of three of these track by Lana to kinda get the feel of her life story.
