Carmen Lyrics » Lana Del Rey

[Verse 1]
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 ’em she’s having fun
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, “You don’t wanna be like me
Don’t wanna see all the things I’ve seen
I’m dyin’, I’m dyin'”
She says, “You don’t wanna get this way
Famous and dumb at an early age
Lyin’, I’m lyin”
[Chorus]
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, oh-oh
Like lightning
[Verse 2]
Carmen, Carmen, stayin’ up ’til morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It’s alarming, truly, how disarmin’ you can be
Eatin’ soft ice cream, Coney Island queen

About Lana Del Rey’s Carmen from Born to Die (2012)

“Carmen” is the 9th track from
Lana Del Rey
’s album
Born to Die

The song’s 17-year-old protagonist suffers from substance abuse. Del Rey admitted in 2012 that

The setting of the song takes place in Coney Island, America’s original “Sin City”. As a fan of Nabokov’s important piece of literature

Carmen
by Prosper Mérimée

A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams
.

“Carmen” is a song I can’t say too much about because it’s so close to my heart. It’s the song on the record I relate to most closely. It’s set partly in Coney Island, a place that’s been important to me throughout my New York City career.
How was the songwriting made?

According to
Songfacts
, Lana described in an interview for
Complex
magazine:
I was out really late and walking to the tempo of my own rhythm, and then I just started singing, ‘Carmen, Carmen doesn’t have a problem lying to herself cause her liquor’s top shelf.’ And it was an easy cadence. The whole thing just came, and I think I was in a really good place then, so it was like things… it was really easy to channel.
