As you all know, Lana is a big Marilyn Monroe fan. I think that in this song she's talking about her.
"Darlin', darlin' Doesn't have a problem Lyin' to herself Cos her liquor's top shelf". ---Marilyn was not like "the best person in world", she had a lot of problems, and drinking can be one of them.
"It's alarming, honestly, How charming she can be, Fooling everyone, Telling them she's having fun" --- Marilyn was, like, such a beautiful woman, also a great actress. But, she was in depression, even if she was the definition of perfection, in her time.
"She says, "You don't want to be like me, don't want to see all the things I've seen", I'm dyin', I' dyin'" --- We all know that Marylin "knew too much", cause she was secretly the girlfriend of president.
"She says, "You don't want to get this way, famous and dumb at an early age", Lyin', I'm lyin'" --- She became famous and made a lot of mistakes.
"The boys, the girls, They all like Carmen, She gives them butterflies, Bats her cartoon eyes" --- everybody loved Marilyn, she was a great actress, a beautiful woman and a sexy model.
"She laughs like God, Her mind's like a diamond, Audiotune lies, She's still shinin', Like lighting, White lightning" --- at the end of her life, so much people was saying that she became a mess, but that was not true.
"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 favours, Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on, Sing your song, song, now the camera's on, And you're alive again" --- I think that this part is the most representative, cause it's about her actress career and being a little sluty. She was acting and singing, and this is way everybody loved her. In the "And you're alive again" part, Lana is a little sarcastic, remaining that Marilyn is dead.
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, PLEASE DON'T JUDGE :)
