Lana's alleged sect/cult past

[PinUpCartoonBaby 1,017]

Sorry for this stupid title didn't know how to call this. Further I don't know if this is the right place for this info but I just stumbled upon sth really really interesting.

 

Some austrian sites (maybe other too) reported about an interview of Lana with 'Grazia' in which she revealed that she was a member of a sect!

 

Quick translation of one of those articles:

The singer allegedly used to be dominated by a Guru. Since he wanted to "break" his girls she left the sect.

US-singer Lana Del Rey has a past in a sect behind her. "I used to be a member of an underground sect which was reigned by a guru. He surrounded himself with young girls," she told the magazine Grazia. She as well couldn't resist his "insane charisma". She was longing for "love and safety" in this group.

But the guru turned out to be a bad person. "He thought that he had to break people first to build them up again. At the end I quit the sect." Her addiction to alcohol which she had as a teenager is over as well adds the 27 year old. "For ten years I haven't touched a drink - but I'd somehow really like to."

This newspaper/website is usually quite reliable so...yeah.

 

 

Thought? So "you're my cult leader" suddenly has a completely new meaning...

also i forget where I heard this, but there are pictures of a bunch of naked girls in this guy's apartment on some dude's blog. Lana used to work or be with him or something, but she wasn't in any of the pictures

sorry if what I said doesnt make sense.

Holy shit that's hilarious.

I don't know if I believe it. I mean we know Lana's weird, but we also know how much she enjoys her white lies.

YOU'RE MY CULT LEADER

oh.....

 

I was going to buy this if this interview was from like 2011 or something bc this betch can't keep track of her lies for that long but since it's from 2014...lol @ how convenient this little reveal is. Bringing up that she was a former cult member right during her promotion for UV & she knows ppl will wonder about that "ur my cult leader" lyric so she made up some fanfiction.

 

slaY me princess. when will ur faves etc

I hate how this would slot right fuckin' in with like 90% of what we might infer from her discography.

Kinda creepy :/

Since we know so little about Lana's past it's hard to decipher whether or not this is an white lie/exaggerated truth or the truth.I mean we all know Lana is a little bit quirky but THAT quirky...I doubt it.

 

As someone stated here before she probably made it up for a laugh because everyone is going to wonder what the "  And your might cult leader" lyric is about.

 

This is also one of my fav things about her tbh.I love her oddness.

[MahaMaha 1,111]

Okay guys, think hard now! There was some sort of blog entry (myspace?) in which she was talking about some sort of science it was like an appeal to the reader about some hidden truth or whatever and then she posted a link to a weird page, I can't really remember and I also can't seem to find it any more! Maybe that was the sect? Somebody out there knowing what the hell I'm talking about?

This makes me love the whole thing more and more, seriously   I just honestly feel like Lana tends to say a lot of things just in a playful, sarcastic way and then people are left with thinking God knows what and she enjoys it. Which makes me love her even more. When it comes to the lyrics itself, I just think it's very simple:''cult leader'' is just someone she looks up to in one way or another, that's about it. I mean, I don't know half as much about her/her songs etc. as many other people here do, but that's just how I see it.

Although I don't know about the sect/cult thing, but I always wonder where does her faith in God come from, and all these things. Like, I just think it could be smth connected to how she quit drinking, because a lot of times those people do get involved into these so-called ''churches/sects'' (like the type of churches where people fall to the ground and where exorcisms are performed, and they like sing and do all that weird stuff) and that's how with ''God's help'' they quit the drinking. I mean, IDK, I might have just written the absolute nonsense, but it just somehow comes into my mind when I put things together.

honestly, she makes up so much bullshit about herself that i don't believe anything that she says unless we have proof from someone else. soz lanz

[Bae 565]

the cult thing would explain "I'm one of many" From SOC IMO.

I don't know, she over exaggerates a bit sometimes.
