sure sure i didn't say thou shalt read this analysis and believe it :D

besides i need help understanding her songs too i don't know what they mean half of the time ;)

You know, I started wondering just recently whether this was inspired to some extent by Mérimée's Carmen. I mean, I wondered, why a Barcelona prostitute? Apparently, in some imaginings of this story, Carmen is a prostitute. The original story places Carmen in Córdoba, though (wrong end of Spain).

One reason that this could be somehow relevant is that Nabokov's Lolita (the book) spends a lot of time mirroring and alluding to Mérimée's Carmen.

Very interesting. I'm not nearly well vered enough in literature to spot or analyze anythign along these lines.
