Lana Del Rey's tune is continuously associated with two D's: daddy problems and melancholy. Born Elizabeth "Lizzy" Woolridge Grant, the singer not too long ago gave the impression within the tune video of Lost at Sea from the eponymous debut album of his dad, Rob Grant.
For the longest time, fans had all the time assumed that the once-canceled artist used to be estranged from her dad. In her eleventh Blue Banisters music, Wildflower Wildfire, she sings: "My father never stepped in When his wife would rage at me," as well as "I was lookin' for the father I wanted back."
A Redditor even analyzed it, pronouncing it "indicates she was looking for a father figure in men she dated because she felt like her dad wasn't there to fully protect her from her mother growing up."
"She was never fully protected from her mother's rage," they added. "Another theory I have is that Wildflower Wildlife is about her not wanting to repeat her mother's patterns. She doesn't want to burn/hurt anyone, especially not the person the song is addressed to. She wants to light up their night with 'only [her] smile and nothing that hurts.'"
Recently, Grant himself mentioned his relationship with Del Rey, as well as his ideas on being the web's new "Nepo Daddy" — a connection with the arguable rise of nepotism or "nepo babies" in Hollywood.
