This song reflects the way humbert views lolita sm. Lolita, Carmen, Off to the races are all connected to Lolita and show all of the fucked up perspectives.

Yes!!! It's the absolute obliteration of Lolita as a person! I've been reading "Monsters" by Claire Dederer and it has a chapter about this- how Lolita (the novel) being written as it is serves a function to communicate the total destruction of a human being, we never see her as anything but a concept or object through Humbert's eyes. I think Lana definitely captures that feeling in the song, especially that sinking feeling with the strings. It hits me in the gut every time. It's so interesting!
