I love how comfortable she seems with this crowd. In some of her other live shows, the crowds are just garbage and are just so awkward. We might not like lively active adoring and lows crowds but I think that’s what boosts Lana’s confidence and control
The song is about Lolita. "Carmen" is one of Humbert Humbert's favourite nicknames for Lo. "Telling them she's having fun" is actually "Telling hum she's having fun", because Hum ( Humbert ) is Lolita's stepfather and Lover. And the song Hum sings to Lolita goes " oh my Carmen, my little Carmen ... ". Born to die has a so many Lolita references. The songs "This is what makes us girls" , "Cola" and "Gods and monsters" all allude to the innocence possessed by a young girl. Lana also refers to Lolita in "Off the races". "Light of my life, fire of my loins" is used in the song's hook and the song opens with "my old man is a bad man". Lana also has a song titled "Lolita" which revolves around youth and male attraction.
lottiee actually this is about girls like Lindsay Lohan - who got famous in an early age and had to deal with this reality while growing up. Their lives were happening to get all messed up, but they were seen like shining stars by everyone. Only they knew the two faces of their lives. And in the end they fucked up everything. This is a song about the side-B of these young stars' lives
The way she sings "I'm dying, I'm dying" with the little nod of her head at 1:40 makes me think she's singing about herself too. Besides the obvious hints to Lolita, she also hints at her own past sometimes.
"Amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, hay solamente una persona por (para) otra persona, y para mí amor, hay solamente ti (estás solamente tú)" 'Love of my life, you know sometimes in this world there's only one person for one another, and for me, my love, there's only you'
This will forever be one her best performances EVER. From the first performance she officially put on as Lana Del Rey, and the last performance she did at a festival overseas. She truly doesn’t get the credit she deserves. And I wish that amateur “vocal coaches” with a YT channel would react to THIS fucking performance, or a clip of one of her nights at Coachella of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, or just her most recent concert. She has improved *sooooo much* as far as nerves, anxiety, and stage fright. Leaps and bounds apart from how she was in like 2012. She’s just one of the misfits talented and incredible artists we have today. Hands down.
Giselle Raphael Yes. when she sings "I'm dying" and agrees with her head. And then we know in an interview she was with an unknown sick while doing this show.
+Anahí Ojeda se me dificultaba tanto entenderla, pero ya pude :D "Amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, hay solamente una persona por otra persona, y para mi igual, es solamente a ti"
Te corrijo. Dice: "Amor de mi vida, tu sabes que a veces en este mundo, hay solamente* una persona por* otra persona, y para mi mundo, hay solamente ti*" pero sin tu comentario no hubiera podido entenderla, así que gracias 😇😀😁
im kinda late lol, its about prostitude and drugs, “she gives them butterflies”= carmen is alcohol and drugs giving teens butterflies, also: “the boys the girls they all like carmen” shows the drug & alcohol addiction of teens ( when she was 17 she was veerry addicted and went to rehab )
She says: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 Translation from French: 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
Until this day I still love this performance of Carmen. It's one of her best live performances and defo the best of Carmen! The emotion in her voice, she gives it all! Her portraying with her hands. I love it!
When I listen to this version of the song I literally go to a whole new place no other artist has been able to do that for me. Her voice isn’t perfect and that’s why it’s so beautiful
She looks gorgeous in this video, but you can tell she was going through a rough time... I’m so happy that her life had gotten so much better over the many years.
i watch this performance everyday ,definitely my favourite performance ever .carmen has has so much meaning to me and will forever be apart of me ,it’s always been my fav song ever words can’t describe how perfect it is to me
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 how 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, and no age My, I'm dying 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 Buy her tonight, she's still shining Like lightning, light, like 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, get me high for free I'm dying, I'm dying She says you don't want to get this way Street walking 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 Buy her tonight, she's still shining Like lightning, light, like 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 Time and cherry marks while 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 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 Buy her tonight, she's still shining Like lightning, light, like lightning Like lightning, light, like lightning Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf
