Cinnamon Girl Lyrics Meaning

Let’s learn the meaning behind the lyrics of Cinnamon Girl by Lana Del Rey section-wise.

[Verse 1]

Lana Del Rey begins the song by referencing cinnamon in tea.

This could say many things. The man Lana is with at the moment must be very interesting, exciting, and thrilling.

We know Lana is a girl with intense taste in men. Her taste buds have sensed something as addictive as Cinnamon in that man.

Lana Del Rey knows he is not healthy for her mental health. But she is in the mood to say “F*ck it I love you”.

Her romantic interest is involved in pills. Well, it’s not exactly a new thing.

The interesting concept is, he is trying to win her heart by showing his love for the pills. He is trying to fake his sadness.

She is dating a man-child, Norman F*cking Rockwell!

However, he is not clingy. He tries to show Lana his bad side and he wants to push her away.

But Lana, well, she’d never let anyone she likes slide off of her radar.

She finds a way back in all the time.

What a courageous woman!

[Chorus]

Lana Del Rey has many things to say. But she never does! She has an explanation for this behaviour of her on “Love Song” track.

All she wants from anyone in her life to treat her nicely. She doesn’t want to end up hurt just like every previous incident.

The situation is so bad that if her current love interest doesn’t hurt her, he will be the first one who hasn’t hurt her.

She is one broken piece of modern art.

We’ve got to preserve her.

[Post-Chorus]

However, it seems repetitive that she is the one who plunges herself in the ocean of sadness.

Even though she knows her current romantic interest is bad for her, she is clinging onto him.

She wants him to touch her, love her, hold her and help her inside Mariner’s Apartment Complex.

Folks, the desperation is real!

Someone please treat her like an ideal Venice B*tch.

[Verse 2]

Lana Del Rey alludes to being an expert in ruining relationships in this verse.

Her current relationship is already in a bad place. However, the more she tries to fix it, the more it gets bad.

It’s like adding kerosene to the fire.

Even though he uses pills to relate to her, it isn’t working anymore.

Now they need to move on from each other.

Such a courageous person. I cannot get enough of her.
