Coca Colla (Young And Free)

Lana Del Rey's 'Coca Colla (Young And Free)' is a nostalgic ode to youthful love and the carefree days of being young. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a time when life was simpler, and love was the central focus. The opening lines, 'I hope you remember me like this / Dancing in the stars in my sundress,' evoke a sense of timeless beauty and innocence. The imagery of dancing in the stars suggests a dreamlike state, where the worries of the world are far away, and only the present moment matters.

The song also touches on the theme of hard work and the balance between responsibilities and joy. The line, 'You been working hard 9 to 5 and / I'm doing my part in trying,' acknowledges the reality of adult life, where work is a necessity. However, the narrator's role is to bring happiness and a sense of freedom to their partner, reminiscent of the advice given by a father figure: 'Like daddy used to say to me / When you're young and free / Stop and think of me.' This advice serves as a reminder to cherish the moments of joy and to hold onto the feeling of being young and free, even amidst life's challenges.

The chorus, 'Never let me go / Boy hang on me / Staying together forever / It's heaven when you taste so sweet / When you're young and free,' emphasizes the bliss of a lasting relationship. The repeated references to sweetness and heaven suggest that true happiness is found in the simple, sweet moments shared with a loved one. The song ultimately celebrates the idea that love and youth are intertwined, and that holding onto these memories can bring a sense of paradise, even in the face of life's inevitable hardships.
