Lana del Rey – High by the Beach

The music video for High by the Beach by Lana Del Rey features a moody, cinematic tone set in a coastal house. Lana appears isolated and contemplative, lounging in a flowing robe as paparazzi intrude from a hovering helicopter. The video takes a surreal turn when she calmly retrieves a massive gun hidden in a guitar case and shoots down the helicopter, reclaiming her privacy. The visual contrasts serenity with sudden violence, underscoring themes of fame, intrusion, and self-empowerment.
