"Body Electric" is a defiant and powerful expression of individuality and self-expression, rejecting societal norms in favor of a more authentic and true way of living.
The song is a bold expression of the singer's disregard for societal norms and conventions in favor of her own beliefs and values. The lyrics refer to Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Jesus Christ as the singer's family and best friend, reflecting her unconventional approach to relationships.
The song also explores themes of hedonism, as the singer describes dancing and grinding with her friends every Friday night at the Grand Ole Opry. Despite her apparent detachment from conventional morality and values, the singer alludes to a feeling of brokenness and hurt, as she refers to someone who has left her and pretends to be having fun despite the pain.
The chorus, "I sing the body electric", is a reference to a poem by Walt Whitman that celebrates the human body and its connection to the natural world. The singer's use of this line suggests her rejection of societal norms and her embrace of the natural and instinctual aspects of human existence.
It is the fourth track of Lana Del Rey's third EP, Paradise.
