    my flop theory for L+F was her doing all the artwork herself, she used the oranges she drew on shirts at least, I didn’t buy one but if the design was on a tote bag I would have bought that

    my Land + Fill theory is that she was pushed into releasing the album by her team and label. Since she didn't feel confident or felt pressured to go down a more 'commercial' sounding route, maybe another shot of her having commercial success similar to Electra Shart. We know that atlantic asked her to do a video for bubblegum bitch after it blew up on tiktok (atlantic bffr) so if her label pressured her to go down a more 'commercially' sounding route, I wouldn't be surprised.

    I agree I think marina has retconned the background of the song, (honestly she’s the queen of retcon, her saying she was doing a TFJ repackage then getting annoyed a few months later on her blog about ‘bullshit’ rumours about her doing a repackage are just :toofloppy: who’s fault is that girl!!) but I don’t think it’s about jack. I do think it’s just about someone they knew, why would she say “I know you inside and out” if it was actually about random high level people? I know that can be a general blanket statement but idk feels like it was maybe about a friend or maybe someone at Atlantic they knew or something

     

    also I think ‘you’ must have been such an awkward writing session for poor joe janiak, stuck in the middle of marina and jack:rip: unless jack literally didn’t get the message, maybe all these songs were for him to try and get a message cause she doesn’t seem to like confrontation unless it’s on twitter. in her track by track she says ‘you’ is about someone that was a bit of a shit but redeemed themselves, but where is the redemption miss marina, he couldn’t even buy you flowers! considering they’re both millionaires and he could have rung any florist to get them sent to his OWN HOUSE is so… but we do only know one side of the story

    i know like the general area surrounding where she lived (not like her actual house, just marylebone) and there are definitely enough florists, most of which do delivery for a reasonable price...honestly

    Okay I have a theory that Karma was originally written about Jack as well and Marina came up with the Me Too explanation afterwards. It was written in the same sessions as You (which is about him) and there are similarities in the lyrics (eg, underneath I see just what you are / I know you inside and out out out). Also this quote from Marina about the song: “Since [we wrote Karma], there’s really been an explosion of cases and experiences that followed the Harvey Weinstein situation. I didn’t really think about that in relation to the song for a while, but then when we were reproducing it, it felt so strange.”
     

    Honestly if you listen to Karma from the perspective of a bad relationship rather than the “systematic misogyny and sexual abuse employed by powerful figures in the media” (quote from album press release) it kinda makes sense. The lyrics are so vague and barely make any reference to those things. It sounds like she’s singing about a shitty boyfriend more than some powerful Hollywood abuser 

    tbf. considering you and karma are both 2017 songs and talk about bad people, i can actually see why you'd think this. but then its kinda like what bad did he do? "all of the money in this town, it wont save you. won't save your reputation now, it won't save you".

    I think it's funny Ellie has this reputation of being a cheater and man stealer. She's always on a roll. I believe there's spammy clickbait websites full of ads with a slideshow of the top 50 most famous men Ellie Goulding has dated. Prince Harry, Ed Sheeran, Niall Horan, some art dealer, Burns, Skrillex, Calvin Harris... 

    STOP I REMEMBER SEEING THAT WEBSITE AND I WAS SCREAMING

    No Jack was her new man, there was some other guy Ellie Goulding seduced with her fanny which Marina was also 'dating'. It was supposedly a rumor, but Better Than That is about Ellie a 100%. :diva:

    yep, that's dj burns

    also the way marina literally made reference to under the sheets by ellie...girl we know its about her, but respect for not being very messy

    also I find it really sad she was writing all these songs about how unhappy her relationship was in 2017, then proceeded to go out with Jack for three more years:rip:

    I honestly think that she knew it was over in 2017 but was so scared to be alone, and maybe even scared of change? 

     

    Also can we take a moment to compile all the songs that could be about Jack/could take inspiration from their relationship

    Superstar

    Cause I'm A Woman (possibly cause of some of the lyrics)

    Spoiler
    • dont you know youre with the motherfucking tiger
    • you say i taste like electricity
    • and you tell me that youve never met somebody like me
    • i like the way you make me feel

    Believe in Love

    Absent Love

    Doubt Your Love

    Water Under The Bridge

    You

    Too Afraid

    Please Don't Call Me

    What I Wanna Do (Final and Demo lyrics)

    Spoiler

    original lyric "i want to change but i never seem to get over you"

    like most of the lyrics in the final could be inspired by their relationship

    Worth It

     

    Now, how many are positive?

     

    Superstar. Like that's it. Maybe Believe in Love, despite it being a fear track, since it seems to discuss her self-doubt more than anything

     

    The rest just kind of paint the relationship in a bad light...like

     

    also i dont wanna seem like a dick but jess and marina met in 2013

    then with her losing motivation after FROOT and possibly being pressured into releasing L+F earlier than she was ready

    im convinced that she was bound by contract that she needed to release an album every x amount of years. I remember one interview where she just randomly went "yeah, y'know it's not because I've signed a contract with atlantic records and I need to fulfil that contract". Like no one even questioned it, at all? But also she was like after a year of quitting I was still writing and wasn't allowing myself to stop. She quit in 2016, meaning she fully allowed herself to quit in 2017 (but a majority of LF outtakes were recorded during this time, so when did she quit? It definitely wasn't in 2018 because she recorded most of the final tracklist during this time. so um girl when did you properly quit?

    I think the earlier tracks from the album are much better. I think she was writing for herself, opposed to release something. Then as she begun to come back to music more, she felt more pressured. But then she said that LF was made from a place that was not influenced by ego or validation.

    Maybe it's the 4th album curse, idk. But I would've never seen marina make L+F, it's like so different, it feels so incohesive in my opinion, like AllForYou said, she used to do complete packages, Land + Fill felt more like an envelope that was posted without a postage stamp and got lost in the royal mail strikes. Like the only final LF tracks I could see Marina writing would be To Be Human, Handmade Heaven, Too Afraid and Soft To Be Strong, maybe End of The Earth too.

    How did she go from puns like Shampain, EVOL and Just Desserts, that were all very well written, and authentic to her (imo) to OOOOORANGE TREES.

    Spoiler

    the way apple music doesnt count it as an album kills me so much :lmao:

    Her poem doesn't look THAT bad if she would type it like this tho

      Hide contents

    I was the type of girl to swallow the world whole

    ingest it all

    I felt too much, needed too much

    there would never be enough love.

     

    Insatiable endless black hole of everythingness

    starving for everything I didn't need

    malnourished

    by placebos of love.

     

    Vitamins

    called success, attention, money, fame

    pissed out unaware into luxurious japanese toilet bowls

    nothing could touch the sides of my crippling black star jet black hole of noise

    no boyfriend, magazine cover, chart sale, sold out tour, million dollar contract

    could satiate my stomach ache for love

     

    I thought if I ate the world I would finally be full

    I would never be hungry again

    I was wrong, of course I was

    this isn't a movie, this is real life

    a ragged jagged pill of a life

    a whirl of clothes, cars, photoshoots, planes

    tears, traumas, studio strains

    approve, approve, approve

    try, try, try 

    grind, grind, grind

    to be heard, seen, valued, understood

    by men with no knowledge of real womanhood

    who held my power in their purses

    owned my chorus and my verses

     

    But now I am free

    of what I had to sever

    I am free of the hunger

    lighter than a feather

    I am free of those men

    and prolific like heather

     

    I ate the whole world

    and I'll eat it forever

    Can't say I love it, but this way it's a) way easier to read and understand and b) it makes the poem seem better than it is

    Structure do be everything though
