MARINA (and The Diamonds)

Recommended Posts

I like Marina so I’m not going to do too much but this is some of the oddest poetry I’ve ever seen… I’m shocked because her older works in particular feature great lyricism and rhyming- I don’t know what she was trying to do but it’s going to be panned most likely

The sea has burnt out and nature has depleted

It's come to a point where I no longer need to feel mistreated

These stars won't rest for me

Exploding now, the earth is super heated

If I have one last wish

One last dish, for you, a fruit platter with a legendary brew

A quadrant of space inhabited by you

 

My abyss don't darken in the depths from you

I'm enlightened like Heaven

Sour to the core like teardrop lemon

Racing to the top it's my absolute obsession

My abyss question

Devoted Christian

When I'm with you it's Armageddon


ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream

Writing about your glamorous Hollywood life ain't the thing anyone's gonna relate to, so Marina sis you better take it into consideration, unless you really don't care what you're doing.

 

That new poem is alright, but the structure seems messy and the visuals kinda childish.

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

Spoiler

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

It needed proof reading-the pissing line and the crippling black star jet thing should have been replaced.

Agreed, and the japanese toilet bowls

I like that she wanted to make it look artsy but the way she approached it was not it

Structure do be everything though

i hope she gets to read it out loud for us. intonation and rhythm would definitely help us interpret and understand her piece. if she makes a whole poetry book in that style, i think the audiobook format would be great. i believe marina has a way with words but my comprehension skills can only go so far lmao. i also don't want her to get dragged for her creative choices; so record yourself rina!!!!!! love seeing her shine but sometimes what she puts out can be difficult to grasp. she has the vision tho. love her

i just think it’s so weird how she tried to change her image after Electra Heart- the infinitely iconic look & album that catapulted her to being a star, and then again tried to change it to be more “mature”(?) by dropping “and the Diamonds” from her state name and trying to write “mature” music e.g political, feminist, etc but failed miserably for the most part because the vast amount of her output since Froot has been beyond mediocre imo

And now she’s doing a Lana Del Rey and trying to get into poetry ?¿ and it’s just not good :kum:

 

i feel so bad dragging her bc I want to love her so much & I really do adore her first 3 albums but like what the fuck yall

I kind of agree like i used to be a much bigger fan of Marina, which makes me sad to admit because I want to love her new stuff too :crai:

 

But imo Love + Fear and ADIAML just aren't as good as TFJ, EH, and Froot...like I don't really get what she's trying to do with her image now, but I miss when her lyrics about misogyny/sexism were more clever and not so straightforward 

 

Idk its not like her new stuff is bad or anything but I listened to L+F and ADIAML for a month or so after they came out and I haven't listened to them since then....although to be fair, I haven't listened to anything but Lana for a while now so....:bebe: 

 

Spoiler

Also I remember hearing an early snippet of "You" that sounded so good and then I was kinda letdown when the song came out and it was a lot more stripped back...I still think sometimes about what that song could've been :xcry:

Marina's poetry honestly has a lot of potential, I just wish she wasn't Milk and Honey-ing it if that makes any sense
