The beginning and end of my engagement with Lana Del Rey:

1. Read a one-page interview with her in Kill Screen, the artsy video games journal.

3. Was disappointing that video games were not present in any way, shape or form in the lyrics. And was further appalled that her explanation of the title contained a much more interesting story than the generic-goop that was the lyrics.
