The song’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both intoxicating and destructive.
Lines like “You’re no good for me, but baby, I want you” and “I’m like Diet Mountain Dew, I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way” suggest a deep attraction to someone who is ultimately harmful.
The metaphor of Diet Mountain Dew, a sweet but artificial drink, reflects the narrator’s self-awareness of her own addictive and potentially damaging nature.
The chorus, “Baby, baby, baby, I want you, like a drug,” further emphasizes the addictive quality of the relationship, likening it to a substance that is both desired and dangerous.
The song’s overall tone and imagery align with Lana Del Rey’s signature style of blending glamorous, retro aesthetics with themes of love, loss, and the darker sides of human desire.
