<P> I was a big drinker at the time . I would drink every day . I would drink alone . I thought the whole concept was so fucking cool . A great deal of what I wrote on Born to Die is about these wilderness years . When I write about the thing that I've lost I feel like I'm writing about alcohol because that was the first love of my life . My parents were worried, I was worried . I knew it was a problem when I liked it more than I liked doing anything else . I was like,' I'm fucked . I am totally fucked' . Like, at first it's fine and you think you have a dark side--it's exciting--and then you realise the dark side wins every time if you decide to indulge in it . It's also a completely different way of living when you know that...a different species of person . It was the worst thing that ever happened to me . </P> <P> She was in a relationship with Kassidy member Barrie - James O'Neill from August 2011 until June 2014 . Previously, she was in a relationship with alternative rock and anti-folk musician Steven Mertens, who produced her debut album, Lana Del Ray, before it was re-recorded by David Kahne . </P> <P> Del Rey moved to a home near Hancock Park in Los Angeles in June 2014 (after living in New York City and London, England in the previous years), and she resided there with her siblings, Caroline and Charlie, for some time . She relocated to a secluded beach - front home in Malibu, California, in June 2015, after dealing with trespassers at her former house . She also purchased two adjacent mansions (in addition to her Malibu home) in Studio City, Los Angeles in September 2016 . </P> <P> Del Rey's left hand is tattooed with the letter "M", referencing her grandmother, Madeleine, and the word "paradise". Her right hand is tattooed with the phrase "trust no one". Del Rey is Roman Catholic . </P>
