Lana Del Rey - Carmen (Instrumental)

LYRICS:
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying 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 wanna see all the things I've seen."
I'm dying, I'm dying
She says, "You don't want to get this way
Famous and dumb at an early age."
Lying, I’m lying
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
Audio tune lies, she's still shining
Like lightning, ohh, white lightning
Carmen, Carmen, staying up til morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It's alarming truly how disarming you can be
Eating soft ice cream
Coney Island Queen
She says, "You don't want to be like me
Looking for fun, getting high for free."
I'm dying, I'm dying
She says, "You don't want to get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day."
It's tiring, tiring
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
Audio tune lies, she's still shining
Like lightning, ohh, 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 favors
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
Tu as besoin de moi
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
Et je mourrais sans toi
Je tuerais pour toi
[English translation:
My love, I know you love me, too
You need me,
You need me in your life,
You can not live without me,
And I'd die without you,
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
Audio tune lies, she's still shining
Like lightning, ohh, white lightning
Like lightning, ohh, white lightning
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf

[@tehterminator3605]

The emotion of this song is definitely melancholy. It sounds like a peaceful but lackluster heaven-paradise missing a piece

[@leo_714]

Lackluster?

[@andrew-pg4if]

3:14 the violin sounds so good

[@twinkletunes4523]

This will be the perfect music for suspense movies and horror movies

[@aune6770]

3:14 sounds ethereal i love it

[@xsomili5501]

This instrumental is so.. beautiful.. 😭😍 when all the violin and instrumentts play together its just; heaven

[@katherineadrianekathcy1019]

Carmen is actually Lana..

[@kitsch_bitch]

She wasn't famous at seventeen though

[@yvonemagalhaes644]

Larina Khaleesi Peharps she were but not the kind of famous you're thinking

[@jacobkbuor]

Larina Khaleesi she was probably famous for something where she was

[@torivega1135]

@@pedrocastro882 Lana said at a time in her life when she was sent away, she was struggling to make ends meet and had to find 'a certain way' to survive day to day

[@MD-ow3nc]

Tori Vega That’s literally not true lmao, she was at a border school. And also said Carmen isn’t about her.

[@lasofi5510]

10 poor ppl

[@themorrigan7702]

Yes, it was CZcams and they accidentally broke it

[@lanadelslay.2339]

How clumsy of them

[@treytempel2275]

Can anyone else hear this weird pixel voice in the chorus of the song? It’s kind of static like a vinyl recorder going “eeee ha haaa”. It’s also very breathy.

[@katrina5754]

if we’re thinking of the same thing, i hear it the most in the beginning of the song and its my favourite part of the instrumental

[@mollygeary7076]

summertime sadness + carmen...

[@LouisHillJ]

[@aster1846]

First time I listened to this song I thought there was a kitten trapped somewhere lmao

[@lasofi5510]

XD

[@nouhaisdead]

[@javiercastaneda2555]

Does anyone hear the Death Star alarm throughout the instrumental

[@dancinqgueen8703]

STOPPPP NOW I CANT UNHEAR IT

[@javiercastaneda2555]

Corbin Forester welcome to my world 😭 I don’t mind tho

[@leobc1428]

[@NJRiffGuitarist]

This might be odd, but why am I thinking of playing the main riff of Inception Of The End by Trivium over the verses? Still an excellent instrumental, though!

[@lemonbirdo1353]

[@merlinssassybeard]

Reminds of Gia Carangi
