You’d think that becoming a superstar celebrity would make familial connections and friendships a whole lot easier.

In reality, no amount of money or fame can change the bonds you have. Some connections may even be strained by such lifestyle in the limelight.

Lana Del Rey never had the best relationship with her mother, Patricia Ann Hill, and the truth of that has made her way into her music.

An abusive mother?

Lana was born to Patricia and Robert Grant as Elizabeth Grant, along with two younger siblings. Eventually, Patricia separated from Robert and remarried.

Lana and Patricia have been on together as a mother-daughter pair, so it seems they get along… right? Well, not quite.

Artists use their music to express feelings and thoughts they otherwise wouldn’t. In some of Lana’s lyrics, she describes what sounds like a messy relationship with Patricia.

“Wildflower Wildfire” contains lyrics such as “My father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me; so I ended up awkward but sweet.”

More explicitly, her single “My Momma” is clearly about the two’s relationship. It plainly has lyrics like “Me and my momma, we don’t get along.”

In “Fingertips,” she sings, :Caroline, What kind of mother was she to say I’d end up in institutions?”

In “A&W,” Lana sings, “I haven’t seen my mother in a long long time”

In “Black Bathing Suit,” she sings, “So I’m not friends with my mother, but I still love my Dad.”

The two do not live in the same state either, which limits their ability to visit each other. Plenty of fans wonder if this is what’s preferred.

Lana also expressed difficulties with Mother’s Day stating “traumas, disappointments of not being a mother [and] rifts with blood mothers” on her now-deleted Twitter account.
