According to Bush, the album's signifiance was embodied by a simile from "Gods and Monsters": "Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer, life imitates art. Current single "Ride" finds her wearing The Boss 's influence on her sleeve most plainly with its galloping verses and sweeping melody, albeit delivered with Lana's '50s-styled Hollywood demeanour. Elsewhere, there's more talk of bad boys, cherry pie and other old fashioned glamourisms much like its parent album, but there's still progression to be found. The multiple hooks in "Cola" feel polished without compromising her rebellious nature she opens it with the line: "My pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola"while the booming "Body Electric" sees her revisiting her Marilyn Monroe persona with more believable results than previous attempts. She treads close to being kooky for the sake of kooky on "Yayo", but when she gets it right in the case of "Bel Air" - a snowy, Tim Burton - inspired ballad - Lana proves there's plenty more to be excited for on album two. Pointing to "Blue Velvet" and "Yayo" Lana del Rey - Born to Die: The Paradise Edition the weaker songs, LGBT lifestyle magazine So So Gay analyzed Paradise as a whole: "The existing themes, stunning musicality, and lyrical strength of the original are complimented [ sic ] by a series of new tracks that give the listener 'more of the same'.
