On “The greatest,” Lana Del Rey’s world is aflame. Carefree nights have been poisoned by the constant threat of nuclear warfare; her beloved Malibu is ravaged by monstrous wildfires; nothing feels like it used to, and holding onto hope no longer seems plausible. “The culture is lit, and if this is it, I had a ball/I guess that I’m burned-out after all,” she concludes over a noir swell of strings and keys. Despite its tongue-in-cheek fatalism, “The greatest” doesn’t submit to nihilism; it feels like the logical apex of Del Rey’s ever-present nostalgia. Surfing on a languid ’70s guitar wave, her blasé murmur wraps each turbulent image in a gauze of comforting warmth. The end of the world has never felt so assured. –Quinn Moreland

在“The Greatest”这首歌中，Lana Del Rey的世界是艳丽缤纷的。核战争的威胁毒害了本该无虑的夜晚，她最爱的马里布也惨遭猛如野兽的野火蹂躏，一切都变得不似从前，保持希望也已经不再那样可靠。“The culture is lit, and if this is it, I had a ball/I guess that I’m burned-out after all（如果文化也被点燃，而且最终也是如此，我至少有种过，无论如何最后我都可能被燃成灰烬）”，她在弦乐与琴键组成的黑色乐曲中如此总结道。除了半开玩笑的宿命论，“The Greatest”并不屈服于虚无主义，这首歌更像是Lana从未有过的复古情调的逻辑终点。70年代慵懒吉他浪潮中，Lana的低柔吟唱将动荡混乱的场面罩在了令人愉悦的温暖纱布之下。世界末日从没有像这样让人安稳过。
