Released both under the Lana Del Rey and May Jailer names, “Junky Pride” was featured on Lana Del Rey’s unreleased 2005 EP “Quiet Now” as well as the unreleased 2006 May Jailer album “Sirens.” Like all the other songs on “Sirens,” it was leaked in May of 2012.
“Junky Pride” describes Lana’s relatio...
You have this way of making me
Say the opposite of everything I mean
I kiss you, I hug you
But I could not feel less connected from you
[Chorus]
I know I wanted
All this in the beginning, I really tried
I know I caught you
At a not-so-happy time of your life
My dreams are bigger than your junky pride
I don’t quite fit the part of
She who loses everything and falls into insanity
The sun beams mean nothing
If you can’t find the light shining in one thing
[Chorus]
It’s fine if you’re hateful
As long as all-in-all you remain grateful
It made me nervous to know you didn't like me
I really tried
The way I’m feeling in this moment
It can’t last my whole life
My dreams are bigger than your junky pride
Junky Pride was written by Lana Del Rey.
