We're not saying she isn't honest, and nor are we denying that her emotion is untrue. What we're saying is Lana, as a character who is able to say things like "my ***** tastes like pepsi cola", is not Lizzy. That's not fakery. It's, like isthisLol? said, projection. The problem is that her emotions are too strong to stay behind the Lana Del Rey mask. Lana is a safe way for her to explain her fears without being hurt, a way to explore things she wished she done differently.
I think it comes across quite clearly that she's terribly afraid of being criticised, and even more so of being unloved. So, if Lana is attacked, if Lana is unloved, it doesn't matter, because they're not saying it about Lizzy. Pretty much every song on Born to Die and Paradise is about her finding someone to love her.
She's desperate to be loved, but no matter how much people love Lana, they're loving her creation, they're not loving Lizzy. It's strange. It's interesting. It's what makes her music so powerful.
