Intro[]
Junky Pride is an unreleased track recorded in the mid noughties. It was Track 14 for the album Sirens, which Lana recorded under the name May Jailer, an early alter ego of hers. It is described as Indie/Alternative Folk. The song seems to be about the weariness of a turbulent relationship, and about the need of putting yourself first.
This is one of the few song titles we are certain of from this album, as it previously appeared on an early MySpace profile of hers.
Alt. Titles: Pride, or leaked simply as Track 14
Written and Produced By: Elizabeth Grant
Length: 2:51
Lyrics[]
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
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 junkie pride
I don't quite fit the part of
She who loses everything and falls into insanity
The sunbeams mean nothing
If you can't find the light shining in one thing
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 junkie pride
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 junkie pride
