Her voice in the final part is so powerful.

So I fly... I — fly... I — flyyy(fly)yyyy... into... the! the light... the light... die LIGHT... Too bad you'll never see... the colours inside me... 

 

She flew into a trap and died, just like most flying bugs.

Yes, it was her problem if she had no friends and felt she wanted to die, and she was gonna live, she was gonna fly, she was gonna fail, she was gonna die die die die, then living dead dead dead, dying like a shooting star in the valley, to become a butterfly, spread her wings in the golden light and fly

"Too bad you'll never see the colors inside of me" is SUCH an awful stupid line. It just doesn't land in any real way. In what scenario is someone sad they missed on seeing someone's colors when the relationship is clearly transactional. Like it sounds like she's coveting something that the other person never even gave a fuck about. She needs to stop singing about her fake LA bubble that she willingly put herself in.

This is unfortunately how I feel about most Marina lyrics I’ve heard the past few years. :/ Shallow, full of buzz words or out of place.

The way I can't unsee that her idea of lyricism is rhyming every single word

Girl? As I understand the fake LA bubble narrative argument when she sings about mother nature dying, pink convertible and being a millionairess dumb stuff, I think it's pretty clear at this point that her affection to the other person was more one-sided, and she suffered in a relationship having panic attacks, feeling not valued enough and thus not being able to shine her true colours, which made the rat bandit lose interest in her instead of growing together. But it doesn't have to be a break up song, it may reflect being not treated with respect by anyone or dynamics of any relationship with a narcissist.

 

her rhyming is terrible tho

What does how she suffered have to do with her awful lyrics? She's expressed suffering in all her albums. Electra Heart was about a guy and her dad, her self concept and she was able to find really memorable lines to express herself. Also Marina is not perfect. I'm A Ruin, Blue, Homewrecker etc. etc. Don't ask me to care about her having panic attacks when she's surely given some of the people in her life their own. No one is a victim here. I'm not gonna use her heartbreak or exposure to mold as a reason why her music has severely declined. If anything that's an opportunity to go even deeper. Bring back the inner critic!

[vrtvie 2,389]

Neither is Lana always a victim in all her relationships but people don't point out her lack of inner criticism in some songs, do they? I reckon Marina was kinda brutally honest about herself in FROOT and expecting her to repeat the cycle and self-blame and self-loathe is just not fair lol, let alone in a playful song released after a depressing poetry book. Are the lyrics too simple? Too unpolished for her standard? Yes. Are they awful?

the way she actually said "if you didn't love tfj you don't deserve my next album"

which was the exact same thing katy perry said about 143

and when woman's nightmare came out the few kitkats defending it were like "yall just hate fun!"

which is what i've seen some butterflies say to defend this...

i actually hate it here

the purposeful pop chanteuses, even their careers follow a similar trajectory when you think about it

which is not good news for M6143
