LANA DEL REY DISCUSSES HER ALCOHOL PROBLEMS

LANA DEL REY DISCUSSES HER ALCOHOL PROBLEMS

In short, singer Lana Del Rey describes herself as a “wild child,”. Lana Del Rey looks back on her life filled with alcohol problems. Best known for her cinematic, Americana-style music, the singer has become a sensation in the American media (hitting the Billboard Hot 100 and providing music for big-time Hollywood films), but, deep down, she is a humble woman. Reflecting on her past, Del Rey recounts her life. She discusses how she wasn’t always about glitz and glam. At one point, her formerly peaceful life in Lake Placid took a drastic turn. This happened when she was introduced to the plight of alcohol. Let’s take a closer look a what she had to say about her alcohol problems and subsequent recovery.

Dancing on the Dark Side

In an interview with GQ, Del Rey recounts how she used to enjoy living on the dark side of life, until she realized it was starting to consume her like a parasite. After being sent to Kent School in Connecticut, Lana Del Rey started consuming ridiculously dangerous amounts of alcohol, when she attended parties or was sitting alone. According to Del Rey, some of the lyrics from her song “Born to Die” echo the shallow darkness of that time. Deep down, she always wanted to be creative. She even managed to start working on her music while struggling through a sea of alcohol.

Maintaining Relationships

In regards to her relationships, Del Rey explained how she was usually the person who could never be trusted. This was mostly due to the complexity of her thoughts. At this time, she says she is fortunate to be in a loving relationship. Also sharing a distinctive emotional and spiritual connection. If anything, her story reflects how the love of a craft and a desire to socialize can, in fact, set you free.
