Lana Del Rey – Cola (Pussy) Lyrics 9 years ago
Finally someone!
I think that "we made it out to the other side" is about them tripping on LSD, when you cross to the other side, different state of mind. Or maybe tripping while having intercourse, i don't know.
At the end she says "drugs suck it up like vanilla ices'' which refers to acid obviously.

I know, I know, I wasn't alluding on your comment. You may be right about that.

Lana Del Rey – Carmen Lyrics 10 years ago
Carmen is a girl who is alcoholic (Lana obviously) but the symbol of Carmen through the song becomes a symbol of crystal meth or methamphetamine. You can see in the chorus, it's really simple.
1. "The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen'' - all her friends like and do meth
2. "She gives them butterflies" - meth helps the release of serotonin (a hormone contributor to well being and happiness)
3. "Her mind's like a diamond" - diamond = crystal
4. "Like lighting, white lighting" - obvious

If you watch the Carmen video closely, you can see that the some parts of the video show for a second how methamphetamine affects the central nervous system and the release of serotonin.

Lana Del Rey – West Coast Lyrics 10 years ago
There is no context of romantic love in this song, and the meaning has nothing to do with her boyfriend.

Lana, as an artist, is divided into two personalities, or, would you rather, her inner psychedelic free world and outer.

The line ''Down on the West Coast they got a saying 'If you're not drinking then you're not playing''. West Coast is Hollywood and everyone has to adapt to their rules. She has ''the music'' and she can be free and make it without them. But Lana has the feeling like it all could happen so she is leaving her inner artist.

The chorus are the key. She is singing about herself as a free person ''His parliament's on fire and his hands are up''. It's important when she says ''On the BALCONY and I'm singing move baby move baby I'm in love''. In this line Lana expresses her infatuation towards some kind of freedom and she wants to cotton on. For this to happen, this made up fake personality ''commits suicide'' and she becomes unchained, happy, fulfilled and free.
In the other hand, she doesn't have to like jump of the balcony, and the balcony can have a simple role in this line just to complement the whole picture.

I'm not sure, this is a very complex song and you can interpret however you want. I based my interpretation on the fact that West Coast is Hollywood and that's how it is.

Also, the golden god is Robert Plant, you can do some research about it. I think he once said out loud ''I am the Golden God!''. There is explanation for other lines in this song, but I'm too lazy, these were the most important.
