RIGGHHTT 😂
The moment I read your comment I heard this part of the song I mean 😭😭
Quarantine mood
My homeless ass felt it too😟
@@cibeleoliveiras The exact same thing happened to me it actually tripped me out for a minute.
Lana honestly makes me want to experience so many things in life
trust me you don’t want to experience this
From someone who is living this Carmen life it's hell, I'm constantly desired no protection I can't even be myself without people constantly looking at me I don't even dress up. I was a sugar baby for a second for 2 men I met didn't have sex with them but it's just gross to think about in retrospect. You whittle away
EXATAMENTE
Yes! Life is beautiful!!! Experience as much as you can! Just stay away from drugs and booze, it will eat your soul. Work hard and enjoy life! Make smart decisions. GOD bless!!!
she she puts a rose color glasses behind some horrific experiences. i don't mean as a criticism, i mean as excellent storytelling.
i remember being depressed at 16 listening to this in class through my jacket’s earphones (phones weren’t allowed in school) and wondering if 17 is going to bebetter. i’m 26 now. i never thought life will ever be this good. this song takes me right back to that moment. so weird.
This kind of comments make me so emotional 🥺🥺

*ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SONG*
No
Yeah 37 million views is so underrated...
Totally agree
YESS
Not between Lana fans.
This video gets a lot sadder when you realise that Lana edited this. Because when the line "lying to her self because her liquors top shelf" comes on, she plays a clip of just her singing on the stage trying to look happy.
Oh my, I didn’t even realize she edited this. She must have gone through a lot. I wish the best for her. I would love to be her friend. Damn.
but shes not on stage ....
She is, right at the end
Oh my god this makes the video much sadder

"Baby‘s all dressed up with nowhere to go"
This makes me shiver. Reminds me of last year when I was homeless all alone by myself working as a prostitute to afford my heroin/crack addiction. It was absolutely horrible. I'm in rehab right now. But this song- sigh, it gives me so many flashbacks.
I hope you recover fully and safely
💕
awh , i hope ur better now. i’m also going through a heroin addiction but i rlly hope u get better
I was doing the same things you were doing for 4 years till I finally got clean hope your doing good
proud of you, but i swear the youtube comments on some videos have the saddest backstories
Imagine music industry without Lana del Rey.
You can't...

The Born to Die album is a story. One that isn’t over yet.
Ahh I see what you did there 😂🖤
@@visionary9385 i dont
@@PeeGirlGamingI imagine she’s done the born bit but not yet the die bit
This song is painfully beautiful, heartbreaking, and tragic, but it’s one of my favorites. I performed this at an open mic type thing at my school and the audience was silent for a few moments when I finished it before they began clapping. The lyrics really have that effect on people, like they were in a trance.
🤧🤧🤧
wow I wanna see it!!
Girl 😭
Lana Del Rey storytelling is ethereal.
Thats an amazing song choice for an open mic. You should post the video if you have it. I love listening to all the different voices on the internet now besides only hearing from top selling artists in the past. Either way Lana is an amazing songwriter and storyteller
The fact that she edited this video herself, legend
In an In-N-Out burger restaurant though!
@@Mezdisnait was a mcdonalds you lazy immagrant
@@Mezdisna Seriously? That’s amazing lmao.
She literally just recorded herself, added some clips from the internet and edited this whole thing by herself and made a literal masterpiece ❤
at a san francisco in n out
Her voice is so candy sweet and so full of pain. It hurts and feels good to listen to her music. It’s a cathartic release into the unknown.
Sad and evil too because remember she did make a deal with her dead god she worships.
@@BoB0Bo0 Lana uses witchcraft and Baphomet to destroy Carmen, that’s why in the song Carmen is considered a hypocrite. Listen to this, “the boys the girls they all like Baphomet, Carmen gives them butterflies bats her cartoon eyes, I aka Lana laugh like satan( for completing the curse which is to haunt Carmen by overdosing). Carmen’s mind is like a diamond, audio tune lies, Carmen’s still shining like white lightning”. The interlude which is translated to French, Lana talks about her love for satan for destroying as in for the song music to watch boys, “no holds bared I’ve been sent to destroy”.
@@BoB0Bo0 you don’t have to agree with me but these are the facts about Lana. I mean if someone writes about killing themselves like what Lana does, those people are considered evil cowards.
If Ed and Lauren were still alive, they would’ve told people to stay away from Lana music. I can almost guarantee that.
@@BoB0Bo0 my pleasure
after years, this is the only description that PERFECTLY explains how i feel listening to lana
This isn’t just a song, this is a story
Girl by it’s literally about Cocaine💀
And a bad example for children to listen to.

Lyrics :
Darlin’, darlin’
Doesn’t have a problem
Lyin’ to herself
Cause her liquor’s top shelf
It’s alarming honestly
How charming she can be
Fooling everyone
Telling them she’s having fun
She says, “You don’t want to be like me, don’t want to see all the things I’ve seen”
I’m dyin’, I’m dyin’
She says, “You don’t want to get this way, famous and dumb at an early age”
Lyin’, I’m lyin’
The boys, the girls
They all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies
Bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God
Her mind’s like a diamond
Audiotune lies
She’s still shinin’
Like lightning
White lightning
Carmen, Carmen
Staying up till morning
Only 17, but she walks the streets so mean
It’s alarming truly
How disarming you can be
Eatin’ soft ice cream
Coney Island queen
She says, “ You don’t want to be like me, lookin’ for fun, gettin’ high for free”
I’m dyin’, I’m dyin’
She says, “You don’t want to get this way, street walk at night and a star by day”
It’s tirin’, tirin’
The boys, the girls
They all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies
Bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God
Her mind’s like a diamond
Audiotune lies
She’s still shinin’
Like lightning
White lightning
Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go
That’s the little story of the girl you know
Relying on the kindness of strangers
Tying cherry knots
Smiling, doing party favours
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on
And you’re alive again
Mon amour, je sais que tu m’aimes aussi
(My love, I know you love me too)
Tu as besoin de moi
(You need me)
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
(You need me on your life)
Tu ne peux pas vivre sans moi
(You can’t life without me)
Et je mourrais sans toi
(And I would die without you)
Je tuerais pour toi
(I would kill for you)
The boys, the girls
They all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies
Bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God
Her mind’s like a diamond
Audiotune lies
She’s still shinin’
Like lightning
White lightning x2
Darlin’, darlin’
Doesn’t have a problem
Lyin’ to herself
Cause her liquor’s top shelf

I’m lying in bed silently crying over this song because I really do relate to it. My whole life I’ve tried to be a happy person even if I’m in pain. So what most people see of me is this happy and nice person. And I’ve always just been a generally happy and nice person but I definitely have put many fake but convincing smiles on in my life. I love dressing up and making and giving gifts for people and making other people happy. I know that most of the people in my life probably wouldn’t believe how much I’ve faked it and hidden my heartbreak in my life. Another thing that I relate to is lying to myself. Telling myself that I’m fine and happy even when I’m not.
I hope things get better! We are here for you
okay?
I’m good

I’m in love with the laugh and her response after she says “So talk to me about why I’m your dream girl.” And the guy replies, “That’s going to be a short conversation.” She knows that she’s every man’s dream girl. But no one will ever deserve her.

Well I guess you just woke up and realized what the f*** it was all about
I think she's wonderful too but she's damaged goods she sold herself to the Diablo
her songs literally take me to another world
For anybody who is interested in a bit of context from a literature student, I'll explain how Carmen is what 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', 'Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego', Jessica Rabbit, and 'The Matrix' all have in common.
'Carmen', originally an 1845 novel, features a beautiful black-haired gypsy woman in a red dress - an outcast isolated from her own culture of outcasts, and a symbol of exoticness, eroticism, mysticism, mystery and, above all, freedom (both involuntary, and self-fulfilled). Freedom from social constraints (for her situation as an outcast), and freedom from romantic commitment. She is effectively voiceless to the reader, her dialogue communicated only through the male narrators, never through her directly, and her loveliness drives the male characters around her to action, then to conflict - eventually leading to her own death at the hands of a man who realises he can't have her. But the idea and ideal of Carmen persists - and, as a symbol and an archetype rather than a character, she even escapes her own death in transcending the novel itself.
Now, Carmen - the archetype of a (usually) voiceless, exotic, isolated/outcast female figure of mystery, attractiveness and often mysticism, that seldom takes action or speaks for herself, at least as far as the story or narrative goes, but drives others to take action or speak for her - is a recognised literary trope that recurs again and again in art and entertainment, in every medium, right up until the present day. She is kept alive only by the artist, and has no persistent identity but that which the artist imposes on her.
In 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', Jessica Rabbit herself even says "I'm not bad- I'm just drawn this way". 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' has a more proactive and freedom-positive incarnation of Carmen in Esmeralda (who actually herself must help another outcast break free of his bonds), whose attractiveness drives Frollo to burn down all of Paris if he can't have her, and the line 'the sun caught in her raven hair' fro Frollo's iconic song comes almost directly from the 1845 novel's description of Carmen. The connection to the red-clad Carmen Sandiego is obvious (indeed, she's seemingly impossible to catch, and the player must chase her all over the world), and The Woman in the Red Dress from 'The Matrix' is another great example- she 'doesn't talk much', and literally exists only to distract Neo and herald the introduction of conflict in the training simulation.
Considering this song was released in an album with Lolita - another song named after a voiceless female literary character who unintentionally drives a man to desperate actions for love - I'm inclined to think Lana Del Rey knows her classic literature quite well.
I named my daughter carmen so this is interesting to read. thx.
Wasn't Carmen also an opera? Tchaikovsky said when he saw it, "This will be a big thing in the future." And it was and is. Most of the songs in that opera, you've heard before and probably had no idea they came from the same opera.
The Chunky Trucker
Yes, and it seems likely that more people are probably familiar with Carmen as an opera - which is certainly not a bad thing, as the opera itself is masterful. The first performance of the opera came about thirty years after the publication of the novel which it adapted.
Cuckoo Brilliantly put, mate ! Thanks !
An interesting theory, especially considering the dialogue starting from 3:10, now makes perfect sense!
For people who didn't know this song is actually about lana herself, carmen=lana. "darling Darling doesn't have a problem, lying to herself cause her liqueurs top shelf" this line is telling how lana didn't think she had an addiction to drinking but she did. All the lines about the liquor are actually telling a story, Lana stated herself that when she was around 14 she got addicted to alcohol, all the kids at her school thought she was cool for it and liked her, plus she had the looks to convince them she was perfect: "the boys the girls they all like carmen" the addiction only got worse and lana's parents sent her away to boarding school to stop her addiction.
SHE WHAT?
Carmen it's not Lana, Carmen Was a prostitute
actually...no lol lana said its about a girl she use to know, a friend
I thought Carmen was a book character..
Sadness overwhelms me 😿
This song was the backdrop of my life between 15-22. Partying, heroin addiction, coke addiction, sugaring and SW and everything that comes along with that lifestyle…. Four and a half years clean now, but every once in a while I come back to this to let myself drift away to the past…
so proud of you fir being clean!!
U know what is beautiful, that not matter what this song means in Lana's eyes, everyone see something different and important for themself in the lyrics. ❤️
I was at a lana concert first row and as she began singing Carmen ... I could swear to all that I saw my aunt Carmen in the crowd who passed away at a young age a couple of years ago !! She was there with me during the entire song and vanished by the end of the song ... Magical song
U Know its so weird because I think Lana seems to want to live in the 50's - 70's again and she uses these old music that probably captivates many old souls who have passed away
This song is beautiful I would put this song on my funeral
Thats very beautiful :) THank you for sharing love :3
I really hope for your Aunt Carmen's sake that this is a lie, the whole thing is a sad story about a girl named Carmen who abuses drugs and achohol, working as a prostitute
Now what you think about Lana ? I think she change a lot:(
what an aesthetic queen
King lol
Straight up facts she really Is an aesthetic beautiful lovely queen.

I think it's about her alter ego...the face she puts on for others...everyone loves Carmen...the fun one....but is Carmen really having fun. She always mentions putting a red dress on in some of her songs, almost like saying when the red dress comes out...she is who ever people want her to be.
that actually makes so much sense ^^^^^
Now you said it.... Possibly!
GOOBERRY803 its actually about a literature archetype.
wow electra heart who
one of my fav songs by her! one of her best written too imo! definitely a piece of pure poetry and storytelling turned into a song
I’ve always admired and been so impressed by Lana’s ability to create a story in her music. She uses such gorgeous, poetic lyrics but there’s always a story at the heart of her songs. Tragic, beautiful, heartbreaking, haunting, regretful, gorgeous stories….I just love her music so much. Never heard another artist like her and I honestly don’t think I ever will. She’s so beautifully unique ❤️
I can't get over the beauty of this video

I have been in love with this song since I'm like 15.
I am 20 now and this is the first time I see the video.
I just love everything about this...
There are two types of people in this world: People who know a Carmen, or are Carmen themselves.
There's also those of us named Carmen that also know another Carmen!!
Omg...am I like...an outlier...?
i know some

😍One of my favorite Lana songs😍
I'm listening to Born To Die songs for the first time in a long time. It's crazy how much Lana is still very much Lizzy Grant in this era, more than I remember. From the sound to the look to the video aesthetics. I miss her higher notes sometimes!!!
Molly I was just thinking where can I hear he early early high voice stuff
who's lizzy grant?
Victor lanas real name is Elisabeth Grant and Lizzy Grant was her stage name before she called herself Lana del Rey
it was paradise, which was sorta in between lana and lizzy
I like this comment so much
Who says, "So, tell me about life, and your dream girl" the voice is beautiful, is that Lana's voice?
The one at 3:10? If so, then yes, I'm pretty sure that's Lana (:
She says that?! I always understood "So talk to me Val why I'm your dreamgirl."
XD
I thought she said "So, talk to me about why I'm your dream girl".
sm_loves_cat what did the guy reply?
The guy said, "this is going to be a short conversation".
This is my favorite song by her i remember first listening to her years ago and while all her songs are amazing I always will listen to this one. Just so much feeling in the story she’s telling
I love this song so much I found this video so long ago during my junior year and it’ll always mean something to me.
Sometimes, our darkest personality is the one we wished to be.
The classical ballad at the end is called Gymnopédie No.1
THANK YOU

Carmen and Effy (Skins) would be friends, lovers or enemies.
effy is literally carmen
Or Laura Palmer, or Rachel Amber.. or Ivy from Poison Ivy!
they were because carmen is kokain
They are, cause Carmen is cocaine.
YES
this is another literal story in a song. a masterpiece that deserves sm more love for the aesthetic, the song and everything else. LDR's music is timeless.
This is the BEST song of the album.

I've been listening to this song for several years and every time I hear it it's like hearing it for the first time
fr
I remember in an interview I read somewhere that 'Carmen' is a very personal song for Lana. I strongly believe that the Carmen talked about in this song is her and this song talks about what she was up to before her fame or what she was doing to become famous.
***** I too think the song is about Lana and how she rose to fame. In some interviews, she also mentioned how she slept her way to "the top", and thus I wouldn't be surprised if the Cony Island queen she talks of is actually her. This is personally my favorite song (ever) because of the deep meaning and symbolism within the lyrics. I've never heard a song that's as emotionally compelling as Carmen. The song and the music combined literally give me the chills.
***** The song is probably about her, and I realized that when she said "Relying on the kindness of strangers" and in her Ride music video, she says "And my motto will be the same as ever: I believe in the kindness of strangers and when I'm at war with myself, I ride, I just ride.." So I don't really know.
***** Elizabeth (Lana) was an alcoholic and did drugs. I think this song is about her before she got famous.
"Only 17 but she walks the streets so mean" In a month i won't relate to that line anymore 😭
That word "seventeen" basically rhymes with every teen years, since all of them end with "teen".
So just sing it like "only 18, only 19" and u have 2 more years to relate to.
I'm turning 20 this august 13th. But gurl let me tell ya, nothing's gonna stop me from singing "only 20 but she walks the streets so mean".
"sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough I don't know why"
Same 😭
Lol 8 months later but deadass my bday in April 😂
this aged well
saw her editing this mv at in n out burger on twitter😂
From all the songs, this is the one I keep coming back to
Humbert used to call Lolita Carmen and the fact creeps me out as most Lolita related things do. I love the book just as much as I'm scared of it.
I get the distinct impression Lana had some kind of abuse from a family member in her past. Her songs are weaved with that thread time and again.
My greatest hope for her is she can heal from whatever had been done.
You're definitely supposed to be creeped out. Too many people get it into their heads that it was somehow not intended to be a terrifying depiction of abuse
Sritama Sen why is « lolita » creepy?
@@palomahortensia umm bc the book's about a relationship between an adult and a kid. Like it's an important topic if treated for what it is and what it was meant to be seen as (disturbing and awful) but too many people take it wrong and find it somehow "romantic" or "sexy" which is creepy af.
This poem about Carmen is in Lolita; Carmen, charmin’, darlin’
Most people in coments don't know Carmen is cocaine. I'm shocked
I don't think it's especially cocaine...carmen is used collectively for all the addictions, it's like she generalized it.
not everyone's native language is english
Like Harry Styles' music Watermelon Sugar lol
I thought it was the story of a prostitute
Clearly meth. Not cocaine
Lana is not a person but a feeling.
After all these years this is the best One.
Stills my favourite song after years
Same, born to die era will never get old
I feel like Marilyn Monroe was Carmen
same
@Edi I always think about Britney when i listen to this
