lana del rey

i noticed i have strong reactions to lana del rey and her music. it's like i get in this frantic dramatic state. her music is all about this fatal love, running away/driving/road, dangerous men, she's autodestructive, submissive. when i listen to her i just go CRAZY. really dangerous while i'm driving.

do you think lana is borderline?

here's a video. she's sooo dramatic. at the end she even speaks like a child.

everything in me that's borderline just explodes when i listen to her, especially if it's for a longer period.

If her music is so triggering for you then why do you listen to her?

Meh. Couldn't care less who's who tbh.

Lana?

IDK.

Her music has lyrics that seem to be written for/by Borderlines though.

Her public persona seems very Borderline.

But if that's her true self?

Doubt it.

She may be, I couldn't handle her forced breathy voice. To each their own. Don't listen to it if it triggers you.

i stopped listening to her. i was just wondering what you guys think about it.
i listen to it sometimes as a guilty pleasure, just a song or two.

Love you but I'm going down
God, I'm so crazy, baby
I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving

I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave you

Wining and dining
Drinking and driving
Excessive buying
Overdose and dyin'
On our drugs and our love
And our dreams and our rage
Blurring the lines between real and the fake
Dark and lonely
I need somebody to hold me

They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head.

no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...

with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it

But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride

aaall over her lyrics.

I stopped caring about what celebrities might be BPD a long time ago. It really doesn't matter. If you relate or are triggered by a song then you relate to or are triggered by a song.

My CD is Fiona Apple's "When the Pawn..." but it doesn't trigger me. I'm like "yeah f*ck that dude"! It's nice to relate to stuff.

So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; got off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand
You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun

Play that one a lot. God, she's so good. But yeah...Lana just makes me sad. I liked her earlier stuff which was all romantic and $hit. But can't stand it when I'm single.

haha

the thing is, when i started listening to her i didn't even KNOW i was borderline. just had this huge reaction to her songs i couldn't really explain so i became obsessed (more so cause i didn't normally listen to this kind of music so it bugged me). before i thought of myself as impulsive and maybe a bit obsessive in thoughts, waiting to "grow up".

but yes, she is sad.

Reacting badly to the crap she passes off as "music" seems like a pretty normal reaction. In this particular instance, enjoying it or not being annoyed is a sign of dysfunction.

Love her cover of "Once Upon a Dream" though.
