She was saying how Carmen was "charming" and how "the boys, the girls, they call like Carmen." She was basically saying that if drugs and alcohol was a person, everyone, the boys, the girls, would be addicted to her, she'd be the popular girl at school that no one cold get enough of. But she was also saying in her song how addicting Carmen was, and in this case Carmen is the drugs and alcohol. I believe in the song she was talking about how she was telling herself she didn't have a problem, she was fine, she was okay. That's when I knew the song was about her teenage years and her alcohol dependancy. She wants the drugs and the alcohol so badly, but she's telling herself it's not a problem, lying to herself. "Darlin', darlin', doesn't have a problem, lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf." I think that's pretty obvious that she's talking about alcohol. What I got from the song was not about a prostitute or being homeless and looking for success.Īs most of us know, Lana del Rey had some issues when she was 14 years old, turning to alcohol and drugs and basically losing herself to these drugs and alcohol-which she calls "Carmen" in the song.
