In two cryptic lines on the track, she sings "With dripping peaches, I'm camera ready/Almost all the time." Potentially, it's a leap, but if they were both working together and loving together, given Carrozzini's profession, it's likely that images of Del Rey formed a substantial part of their relationship. However, this means there's some photography imagery in the song, which feels a little telling given the fact that Carrozzini took photos of Del Rey for the cover of L’Uomo Vogue. According to her, in the previous summer, she had to visit 13 beaches before she found one that was empty of paparazzi and where she could hang out and read without getting snapped. The other is the real story the 32-year-old cites as the inspiration behind "13 Beaches" when speaking with Paris Match. One narrative is a troubled relationship. The rumored reasons for their split cited by the New York Daily News (namely, that Del Rey wanted more commitment after a year and Carrozzini didn't) seem to be mirrored in the bittersweet lyrics, which touches on the singer "dying for something real." But, on the other hand, it's worth nothing that there are two narratives at play in the song. On the one hand, her last major relationship (at least that the press knew about) was with the film director/photographer who directed her "Ultraviolence" video. It's one of the most poignant tracks on the new record and centers on a painful romance, but whether or not Lana Del Rey's "13 Beaches" is about Francesco Carrozzini is a mystery.
