Why Is Lana Del Rey All About Dying?

I'm a huge fan of Lana Del Rey's music and most of her songs and videos include the sense of dying and or being strangled. I've never understood her obsession around these 2 unattractive thoughts in my head, but she finally has told the world why. 

"I wish I was dead already," Lana Del Rey says, catching me off guard. She has been talking about the heroes she and her boyfriend share – Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain among them – when I point out that what links them is death and ask if she sees an early death as glamorous. "I don't know. Ummm, yeah." And then the death wish.
