I'm studying English and the lyrics of this song are really dark, I never would have thought that this song would means this... It's a history about how thinks and feels a person who is in a toxic relationship. I just love it! Thank you Lana

I've heard that alot of people have ragged on lana for supposedly "romaticizing" domestic violence, especially with this album. I'm wondering if alot of the people who are criticizing her/this album in that way haven't experienced domestic violence first hand, and/or been in an abusive relationship of any kind. It's hard to come to terms with how powerful of a hold that type of relationship can have on you, especially when there's a trauma bond aspect in play. As a person who has gone through some seriously rough relationships, I don't see it as her glorifying it, I see her lyrics acknowledging how powerful trauma bonds can be, to the point that you feel any attention from your toxic partner is perceived as validation/affection. "He hit me but it felt like a kiss." "He hurt me but it felt like true love" These lines hit me so hard because it can truly feel that way, your perception of what healthy attention/affection means can become so skewed if you're in an abusive relationship. I think she was able to highlight so eloquently the way that those scenarios can feel, when you're so desperate for attention from your long term partner that any interaction, even physical abuse, is somehow a form of validation. It's terribly sad and I really feel that I can see what lana was trying to convey by making this specific song and also alluding to unhealthy attachments and codependency in other tracks throughout her discography. She's honestly a brilliant writer and story teller through her music and it's very disheartening that alot of people are unable to tap into and understand her deeper intentions and displays of emotional turmoil through her lyrics.
"Jim" is in reference to Jim Beam (alcohol). "Ultraviolence" is a term coined from the Anthony Burgess novel where violence against oneself is the worst kind of violence. The song is about alcohol abuse, personified.
I love this song, 'cause it could be about so many things at once! "Jim" could be referring to Jim Morrison and his relationship with Pamela Courson. "He hit me, and it felt like a kiss" is a lyric directly taken from The Crystals' song (which, like Lana's song, caused controversy with the lyrics being about being in an abusive relationship). "Ultraviolence" could be a reference to A Clockwork Orange and how much Alex craves it. "You're my cult leader" might refer to one of the most infamous cult leaders of the '60s, Charles Manson.
Sunzu49 I think it’s about Jim Jones, another big cult leader of the 70’s. I could be wrong though, but music is all up to interpretation of the listener.
is it about jim morrison, jim jones or jim beam? it is about an abusive relationship, jonestown or alcohol? i don't want theories, i wanna know what lana said about it
When she says "he hurt me but if felt like true love " I could relate since I'm in a one sided relationship where he lies and not psychically but verbally mistreats me and I go back each time
He used to call me DN That stood for deadly nightshade ‘Cause I was filled with poison But blessed with beauty and rage Jim told me that He hit me and it felt like a kiss Jim brought me back Reminded me of when we were kids With his ultraviolence, ultraviolence Ultraviolence, ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence He used to call me poison Like I was poison ivy I could have died right there ‘Cause he was right beside me Jim raised me up He hurt me but it felt like true love Jim taught me that Loving him was never enough With his ultraviolence, ultraviolence Ultraviolence, ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence We could go back to New York Loving you was really hard We could go back to Woodstock Where they don't know who we are Heaven is on earth I would do anything for you babe Blessed is this union Crying tears of gold like lemonade I love you the first time I love you the last time Yo soy la princesa Comprende mis white lines ‘Cause I'm your jazz singer And you're my cult leader I love you forever I love you forever With his ultraviolence, ultraviolence Ultraviolence, ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence
This song literally hits so hard... my ex was named Jim and he was a narcissist and would strangle me out of anger. I was with him for two and half years...
I think of my mother when I hear this :(. She's been with nothing but abusive men my entire life..and yet she's remained more loyal to them and faithful than any woman I've ever met.
it's about Jim Jones the cult leader not Jim Morrison as I see so many comments say. I wish more people knew about that horrible man. it's weird to find young people nowadays that know about him...
Katarina Klobe once you realize it’s about Jim Jones, that’s all you see when listening to this song. I see his big face with the raven hair and sunglasses spouting evil.
I know they put "Yo soy la princesa, comprende these late nights" but she actually say "Yo soy la princesa, comprende these white lines" and in her new song "summer bummer" she repeats "white lines and black peaches" Idk just wanted to point that out
This song reminds me of when my ex Choked me and beat the shit out of me twice in our relationship And I stayed but now I’m gone and I miss him so much even though he did the things he did and it’s fucked up to say that I know but I do miss him I loved him but anybody who ever hits on somebody there in a relationship with that they claim to love does not love you I just have to keep telling myself that so I don’t ever go back😞😢💔
I'm literally in the exact same boat I struggle not to pick up the phone and take him back everyday since November 17th 2019 :'( miss him so bad it hurts if you need to talk I'm here I honestly do kno how u feel sweetheart
Don't ever go back no matter how much it hurts to miss him if they do it once they will do it again everyone warned me and told me this and I didn't listen and I've a permanent scar and bump across my nose now that I've to look at every morning xxx if you love someone you don't hit them would you beat ur mom? Or your best friend? If a man hits you too hard in the head it could be the last moment of your life then everyone you love would have to lower you into the ground.
"Ultraviolence" is referring to a term coined by Anthony Burgess. He suggests that violence against oneself is the worst sort of violence, and Lana has stated that "Jim" is in reference to Jim Beam (whiskey).
I would say this is the girl the song "facedown" was talking about. Its as if lana wrote what the girl going through this emotional, mental and physical abuse and hold is feeling. It explains how strong of a hold the abuser has over the abused. Wow just wow
We could go back to New York Loving you was really hard We could go back to Woodstock Where they don't know who we are Heaven is on Earth I would do anything for you, babe Blessed is this union Crying tears of gold like lemonade I love you the first time I love you the last time Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines Cause I'm your jazz singer And you're my cult leader I love you forever
For those out there who have a "celebrity crush" with this wonderful lady, remember: she is the higher kind of a female, not the lower. Take a look beyond the surface: she is full of inner beauty, she says it in this song.
+Suburban Babydoll No it's not. Lana says herself: " 'Ultraviolence' looks back on my time in New York. I was, for a while, part of a sloping underground scene, which was dominated by a guru. He believed in the concept of destroying his followers first and then rebuilding them. I fell for him because at that time, I longed for security.
This Lyric is really dark but I think it is a master piece because tells a story. Thanks Lana for your good music
Some lyrics in this video are completely wrong tho
@@wonderland4515 So??? It's still dark and tells a story.
Jack Vovk that doesn’t change the fact the lyrics on this video are wrong
What’s the story?

"I used to be a member of an underground sect which was reigned by a
guru," she said. "He surrounded himself with young girls and he had this
insane charisma I couldn't resist as well. So I was in this, I'll call
it sect, because I was longing for love and security."
"But then I
found out that this guru wasn't a good but a bad person," she added.
"He thought that he had to break people first before he could build them
up again. At the end I left the sect."

The translation is not good at all.
We’ll take it with a grain of salt… because a lot of these lyrics are WRONG. Like, _a lot_
''He hit me and it felt like a kiss''
That's a line from old '60s band "The Crystal" song "He hit me" :)
😭😭😭😭👑
Hit and run

This is exactly what i mean.
I couldn't have explained it any better than this 💜
I love how she sings as if her voice is a siren, beautiful
I wish the lyrics would show up on time
I Can Feel This Song In My Veins, I Feel Like Its About Abusive Relationships.
This song could be about a thousand things, but not about a abuse relationship. who says it, is retarded
Maria Williams kinda cuz it is lol

+Bobby L.C. The names Jimmy Raynor
+Brandon Peck jimmy gnecco
+Bobby L.C. jim morrrison lol
Jim Morrison.
I love at 3:42 you can hear a faint "lay me down tonight" which ties back to a previous song in this album.
I've listened to this so many times and just noticed! then i came looking for a comment about it lol (the song's fucked my way up to the top)
The best Lana's album is definitely ULTRAVIOLENCE🖤
When she says "he hurt me but if felt like true love " I could relate since I'm in a one sided relationship where he lies and not psychically but verbally mistreats me and I go back each time
"Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines" get it right!

Timeless gem ♡
He used to call me DN
That stood for deadly nightshade
‘Cause I was filled with poison
But blessed with beauty and rage
Jim told me that
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
Jim brought me back
Reminded me of when we were kids
With his ultraviolence, ultraviolence
Ultraviolence, ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
He used to call me poison
Like I was poison ivy
I could have died right there
‘Cause he was right beside me
Jim raised me up
He hurt me but it felt like true love
Jim taught me that
Loving him was never enough
With his ultraviolence, ultraviolence
Ultraviolence, ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
We could go back to New York
Loving you was really hard
We could go back to Woodstock
Where they don't know who we are
Heaven is on earth
I would do anything for you babe
Blessed is this union
Crying tears of gold like lemonade
I love you the first time
I love you the last time
Yo soy la princesa
Comprende mis white lines
‘Cause I'm your jazz singer
And you're my cult leader
I love you forever
I love you forever
With his ultraviolence, ultraviolence
Ultraviolence, ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
Why did you comment the lyrics on a lyric video
cuz the lyrics in video has a lot of mistakes
Lana is what we call an icon to music
WOW JUST WOW! I HAVE NO WORDS!
Whenever someone says "it's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" just say no it's lemonade lol

"Ultraviolence" reminds of me the Clockwork Orange, haha
Yeah, it was intentional;)

i love clockwork orange :0
Iv got this lana book and there's a chapter that talks about Alex and how she was influenced by a clock work orange
Ive been scrolling down the comments to see if anyone thought the same and finally agh
This song literally hits so hard... my ex was named Jim and he was a narcissist and would strangle me out of anger. I was with him for two and half years...
I hope you are ok! I'm so sorry you had to deal with him, and i hope everything is well now!
You did a good job for your first time. Keep up the good work!
love this song
Thank you for Your UPLaud with Lyrics.
I love how she say "we can go back to newyork "
you did good.. thanks for making it..thumps up
Good job overall on your first Lyric video hun!
I think of my mother when I hear this :(. She's been with nothing but abusive men my entire life..and yet she's remained more loyal to them and faithful than any woman I've ever met.
This song is dark gold
i thought she said crying tears of gold like lemonade
she is, it was the creator's mistake
it's about Jim Jones the cult leader not Jim Morrison as I see so many comments say. I wish more people knew about that horrible man. it's weird to find young people nowadays that know about him...
I thought it was about the drink Jim something?
+Jaayy1000 it's about Jim Jones and the Jamestown mass suicide
Katarina Klobe I know him and I just turned 15
He was from Indiana, a few hours from where I live. Dude was crazy af
Katarina Klobe once you realize it’s about Jim Jones, that’s all you see when listening to this song. I see his big face with the raven hair and sunglasses spouting evil.
This album is her high water mark with no less than 8 brilliant songs from 'Brooklyn Baby' to 'Pretty When You Cry'!
For some reason I can't hear the "heaven is on earth" part in the song. It just sounds like heaven is on weeeakdjdhhfn. Like I'm so confused.
Esta canción me transmite paz
Love it
it's lemonade not adam and eve
better now? :)

Que música. Eu fico preso nas músicas da Lana, são lindas demais.
É uma vibe de outro mundo
I believe its " With his ultraviolence " not " This is ultraviolence ".
It is with his, lyrics here are awful go to Genius
This song 's mixed up both pain and pleasure.. I cry it everytime😭😭😭😭😭😭👑👑👑👑👑i love u forever lana💜😭😭😭😭👑👑👑
It feels different I got goosebumps
This song is hypnotic...and that makes me sad...as a former non-violence counselor, I have seen enough REAL violence...enough to not romanticize it.
I know they put "Yo soy la princesa, comprende these late nights" but she actually say "Yo soy la princesa, comprende these white lines" and in her new song "summer bummer" she repeats "white lines and black peaches" Idk just wanted to point that out
2020 . He hit me and I felt like a kiss.
This song is so deep 💔 damn
This song .... hit different....
this was posted on my birthday (:
"Jim taught me that loving him was never enough" felt this
Ultraviolence hits hard
Crying tears of gold, like Marylin *****
This song reminds me of when my ex
Choked me and beat the shit out of me twice in our relationship
And I stayed but now I’m gone and I miss him so much even though he did the things he did and it’s fucked up to say that I know but I do miss him I loved him but anybody who ever hits on somebody there in a relationship with that they claim to love does not love you
I just have to keep telling myself that so I don’t ever go back😞😢💔

Ultraviolence? Umm more like domestic violence...
Yes it dose
is it bad I kinda laughed? it's just the wording XD
"Ultraviolence" is referring to a term coined by Anthony Burgess. He suggests that violence against oneself is the worst sort of violence, and Lana has stated that "Jim" is in reference to Jim Beam (whiskey).
Srsly? I've been always curious and doubting about if I like or not the lyric, but if you're right that's such a good metaphor
Alcohol violence
i was reading "Killing Stalking" and automatically thought of this
Alma Escobedo that webtoon gave me nightmares😥
The season 3 is out btw
Same
I honestly cannot believe this came out more than 5 years ago what is life
I think around 3 minutes the lyric is we can go back to Woodstock.
I would say this is the girl the song "facedown" was talking about. Its as if lana wrote what the girl going through this emotional, mental and physical abuse and hold is feeling. It explains how strong of a hold the abuser has over the abused. Wow just wow
violins and violence ❤
i love the way she says yo soy la princesa
the music in the song makes me wanna cry i swear
the lyrics can be late but the music is on time
love
i thought she sang
"we can go back to new york, loving you is really hard,
We can go back to woodstock, where they don't know who we are"
+Alex Brand she does.......dude made alot of lyric mistakes
pretty song
Guys, they fixed the lyrics with annotations. You can't see it on mobile though.
"he hit me and it felt like true love"
here ya go
We could go back to New York
Loving you was really hard
We could go back to Woodstock
Where they don't know who we are
Heaven is on Earth
I would do anything for you, babe
Blessed is this union
Crying tears of gold like lemonade
I love you the first time
I love you the last time
Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines
Cause I'm your jazz singer
And you're my cult leader
I love you forever
why am i crying?
few words aren't correct but nice video :D
I think it is With his Ultraviolence.... :)
I'm just here to point out that someone has already pointed that out.
This songs reminds me of killing stalking manga ❤
For those out there who have a "celebrity crush" with this wonderful lady, remember: she is the higher kind of a female, not the lower. Take a look beyond the surface: she is full of inner beauty, she says it in this song.
he hit me and it felt like a kiss.
"We can go back to Woodstock" no "to town"
“He hit me and it felt like a kiss.” Relatable
I was filled with poison,but blessed with beauty and rage.
My vagina is shaking when I hear her voice
HAHAHAHAH I CANNNOOOT LMFAOOO

Can i take a look
Fucking screaming LOL
