Quiet in the South Lyrics – Lana Del Rey | from “Stove”

Step into the hazy glow of “Quiet in the South,” a haunting gem from Lana Del Rey’s upcoming album Stove, slated for release in February 2026. Debuted live at Stagecoach in April, this track drapes Lana’s signature melancholia in Southern gothic textures, painting a picture of lonely nights with red wine, dripping wax, and old records scratching out angels. Lines like “It’s getting awfully quiet in the South” carry that aching longing, as Lana wrestles with love’s absence and the urge to burn it all down – classic Del Rey, balancing heartbreak with a flicker of defiance. Fresh off her Primavera Sound headline and whispers of a Skims campaign, she’s leaning deeper into her Americana roots, crafting a sound that feels like a dusty back porch under a fading sun.

Stove, teased as her most intimate project since Norman Fucking Rockwell, explores solitude and fleeting connections, with “Quiet in the South” setting the tone for its cinematic ache. Fans on X and Reddit are already dissecting its live debut, comparing its raw emotion to tracks like “Low Flame” and praising how it channels the restless spirit of Honeymoon with a grittier edge. Produced with Jack Antonoff, it’s got that lo-fi warmth, evoking propane stares and skipped rocks that mirror Lana’s inner turmoil. Whether you’re drawn to the bittersweet chorus or the bridge’s crazy-cool confessions, this song’s a slow burn that lingers, perfectly setting up Stove’s journey through love’s quiet ruins.
