Lemme make a whole analysis of the song real quick...

 

The song itself is more of a response to critics and just that whole "If she wants to die so bad why doesn't she just kill herself already" saying people were tweeting at Lana back then. It's not necessarily Lana saying she wants to kill herself but her addressing that normal people can casually talk about depression and being sad in general, but when Lana or any other celebrity were to speak out about it they would get the "beautiful people beautiful problems" treatment where they would get mocked for feeling a certain way because of their status in wealth/fame or whatever. 

 

When you mentioned " it’s just sheer pain and desperate" that's EXACTLY what Lana was singing about where she could literally say she wants to die and won't be taken seriously due to her status. The song is actually quite close to Lana's QFTC statement where she mentioned there is a certain image based on feminism and she doesn't have it; therefore treated different. It's the same thing with BPBP / publicizing depression in the public eye. The times have changed a lot since 2014 & it's more accepted and noted now but in 2014 you would have been  (and were) laughed at!

 

Also why the demo would not fit the documentary because the demo lyrics don't really relate to their story...

I had never seen the lyrics in the way that you presented. It actually makes much more sense. And I never thought that QFTC had some similarities to the BPBP demo. Thanks for your POV ; I’ll revisit the demo with that angle

Nice. I personally love that song. The demo made me love it even more because I do think the process of writing those was healing. She expressed her pain in the original one and she healed it in the final version with the help of Stevie. It was a very emotional experience to hear both version one after the other when I was feeling completely down. 

 

It is a nice fit for the documentary and it's getting an old song some visibility which I'm all up for.
