This song is about Lana Del Rey before she became famous (Around her young adult years).
Carmen=Lana.
"Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem. Lying to herself cause her liquors top shelf." She thinks that she's completely fine and that she has no addiction but in reality she's addicted to alcohol and needs help(Which Lana actually talked about before).
"It's alarming honestly how charming she can be, fooling everyone telling them she's having fun." Everyone thinks how she's that girl who's never upset and how shes always having a good time when Lana actually feels depressed and sad about how bad her life has gotten.
"She says you don't wanna get this way, famous but dumb at an early age."
Lana got addicted to alcohol at the age of 14(dumb at an early age), got sent to boarding school to fix her addiction, then she ran away and technically lived on the streets. Everyone knew who she was because she would do whatever she could for money even prostitute herself sometimes (which ill explain later).
"Buy her tonight, she's still shining like lighting."
I think this is the part when she prostituted herself. She's saying how people should buy her for the night while she's there (can't really explain it, but it's pretty obvious).
"She says you don't wanna get this way, street walk at night but a star by day."
This is another part when she talks about how she sold her self as a prostitute at a young age.
"Babys all dressed up with nowhere to go, that's the little story of the girl you know." In this quote I feel like she's always looking for a party to go to and spend her time somewhere or the fact that she's walking on the streets all dressed up waiting for someone to buy her for the night.
"Relying on the kindness of strangers."
She hopes that someone would be nice to her and help her get her life back on track or give her some money so she can support herself. It's like a perspective from a homeless person kind of thing.
"Tying cherry knots smiling doing party favors. Put your red dress on, put your lip stick on."
Being able to tie a cherry stem into a knot is a sign of being a good kisser. Lana is saying how she's doing party favors probably such as hooking up with people and doing sexual acts or drugs for the money. Then she says how she's putting on her red dress and her lipstick, here she is saying how she's ready to go out and sell herself again or do whatever she can to get money.
"Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
Tu as besion de moi
Tu as besion de moi dans ta vie
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
Et je mourrais sans toi
Je tuerais pour toi."
Translation: “My love, I know that you love me too.
You need me, you need me in your life.
You can’t live without me
And I’d die without you.
I’d kill for you.”
Here she is talking about her addiction to alcohol and how much she craves it in her life and how she can't live without it.
So long story short. This song is about Lana when she lived on the streets.
