hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but i have it Lyrics » Lana Del Rey
[Verse 1]
I was reading Slim Aarons and I got to thinking that I thought
Maybe I’d get less stressed if I was tested less like
All of these debutantes
Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts
But I’m not, baby, I’m not
No, I’m not, that, I’m not
[Chorus]
I’ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
24/7 Sylvia Plath
Writing in blood on my walls
‘Cause the ink in my pen don’t work in my notepad
Don’t ask if I’m happy, you know that I’m not
But at best, I can say I’m not sad
‘Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[Verse 2]
I had 15-year dances
Church basement romances, yeah, I’ve cried
Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums
Is the only love I’ve ever known
Except for the stage, which I also call home, when I’m not
Servin’ up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad
Hello, it’s the most famous woman you know on the iPad
Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, “Hi, Dad”

Shaking my ass is the only thing that’s
Got this black narcissist off my back
She responded to this on Instagram:
Also, according to
Songfacts
, asked about the song, Lana explained to Billboard:
[I] see so many things there that didn’t look right to me, things that I never thought I’d have permission to talk about, because everyone knew and no one ever said anything. The culture only changed in the last two years as to whether people would believe you. And I’ve been in this business now for 15 years! So I was writing a song to myself… Hope truly is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, because I know so much. But I have it.
She also told
Q
magazine:
I think it’s dangerous for a woman who is too kind, I really do.That’s what it’s about. Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman who is told to bend to whatever comes along because it’s the right thing to do. So it’s less dangerous if you never give a f–k, but if you care it’s dangerous on seven different levels.

Of the song, Antonoff tweeted:
Did she say anything after releasing the song?
On an interview with
BAAZAR Magazine
on the February 2019 Issue, Del Rey was asked about the song context. Where she gave an overview on the topic behind the composition, structure and context of the song:
If you read in between the lines so that you’re listening carefully, you can tell there’s a lot jam-packed into that song. I actually tried to do all my interviews before I released it, so that I wouldn’t talk about it, because it’s just one of those songs that is really personal to me for a lot of different reasons and that’s often how my music is. I jam-pack a lot of Easter eggs, one-liners that only I know what they mean… Also on a deeper level for me, having reference to family of origin and lineage, karmic lineage, and confusion that gets passed down through generational passages. I was trying to get clarity on a lot of my own stuff by putting it out.
