Lana Del Rey's 'Watercolor Eyes' on 'Euphoria' OST

Lana Del Rey’s 'Watercolor Eyes' was recorded as a part of the soundtrack of ‘Euphoria’. The track was rumored to drop on streaming platforms on January 10 but that did not materialize. And now, we have a new confirmed release date. The new single sees Lana taking the folk approach with slower sounds and smooth melodies. Speaking of the lyrics, in the song, the 36-year-old songstress croons, “I think that you taste like rock candy/ Sweet like beaches, leave me all sandy/ Why do you leave me with watercolor eyes?/Young love don't always lasts forever/ Wild horses can't keep us together/.”
 
Channeling the vintage era, Lana further sings, “So what if you taste just like heaven?/ That don't make it right/ Hot summer and cold watermelon/ Your love stings like blood and a lemon/ Why do you leave me with watercolor eyеs?” The lyrics “Rock Candy Sweet” might also refer to one of the albums the singer had earlier teased. However, the project never saw the light of the day. Speaking of ‘Euphoria’ OST for Season 2, a few songs have already been released, and the official tracklist is expected to hit the Internet in the last week of February.

‘Queen of alternative music’

Social media users thronged to Twitter as soon as Lana Del Rey dropped her new single. “Queen of alternative music”, said one fan as another wrote, “She's back and she's cooler than ever.” The next one added, “Omg it sounds just like every other song she’s put out in the past 5 years" adding an emoji of eyes filled with love in the end. Whereas, one shared, “We will be listening to watercolor eyes by Lana Del Rey on repeat.” The next tweet remarked, “Lana del rey doesn’t make hit she makes good songs, she could have written a basic pop song but she wrote a good song who fit perfectly for euphoria.” Another posted,” Watercolor eyes proves Lana del rey‘ s talent, Versatility, creative talent, and genius. I cant even explain its effect on my body. Ignore my pfp while ur reading this pls.” And, one fan concluded, “Watercolor Eyes is SOOOO GOOD.”
