Some of the lyrics:
Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy (I come alive, alive)
All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby.

Thought it was a reference to The Beatles' song. When she's with that guy, she does drugs with him.

Damn I missed that.

Somebody I follow on tumblr said they think "Carmen" is about Lindsay Lohan and I almost know that it isn't but I couldn't listen to that song without thinking about her since.
Oh what I would give to have been a fly on the wall when Lilo, Lana, and Gags partied together at Chateau Marmont.

I really hated the lyrics so I looked them up for some sort of substance and realized like many of her songs, it's a story and it doesn't necessarily point to a moral or purpose. It does have some interesting details though that put it beyond some others' lyrics. Plus once again the music just gives so much feels.

Thought it was just another one of Lana's fantasy autobiographies, twisting possible real feelings with a made-up story.

I honestly thought her life was really as fantastic as she makes it out to be.

Haven't really read up on her personal life although I've heard about some hate for it. Should get to that eventually...

She was really average looking before her plastic surgery but that's pretty much all I know about it. I should do the same but her being a little mysterious makes it more appealing.

Lana Del Rey was pummeled by critics for her 2012 debut performance on Saturday Night Live which some attributed to a bad case of stage fright. To make matters worse, the following week SNL performer Kristen Wiig did a hilarious parody of Lana as a vacuous model on the show's Weekend Update segment. Apparently Ms. Del Rey was a one time runway model which made her an even easier target for ridicule.

Ms. Del Rey's management cancelled a 30 date North American tour in the wake of the negative reviews of SNL performance.

My own take on Lana Del Rey is she is a hugely talented singer and songwriter whose major label debut album was over-hyped by her management and record label. I didn't see the SNL performance by Lana Del Rey but I've seen her on the Letterman show and she was fantastic.

I've not watched the SNL performance, not avoiding it, but for some reason I've never felt inclined to.

My friend watched it and said was a bit whiny, which I could see from someone who isn't into her voice. I've watched other performances by her and they seem perfectly in tune with what I expect from her as an artist.
