Doll Harlow 12,367 Posted May 1, 2021 I don't know how to feel about Purge the Poison. The song sounds really good and is fun to listen to, but there's something empty about the lyrics. It almost feels like they don't fit the song. 4 Quote You call me lavender, you call me sunshine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most artists don’t have the guts to be as political and open as Marina. First of all Marina has said some eco-fascist shit which is not ok?? Like calling humans a “virus” when the ones exploiting the planet are just western nations is kinda problematic... children in Africa and Asia are dying they’re not a virus but w/ Second, Savages *is* fake deep cause it shows a very basic understanding of human behaviour but at the same time tries to make an attempt at a social critique and it falls very flat This however DOESN’T make it a bad song You CAN criticize something you like... Especially cause back in FROOT there was so little to criticize that people did not jump at the slightest glimpse of criticism 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonita 12,521 Posted May 1, 2021 Savages would've been a good song lyrically if she spent some time working on the lyrics tbh - she could've conveyed the idea so much better 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluefiona 8,050 Posted May 1, 2021 Fake deep? I never thought of Marina as fake deep. She always came across as sincere unlike other artists who really are fake deep. Anyway I hope she drops a new video soon. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doja Cat 1,279 Posted May 1, 2021 Fake deep could also be ok as long as the production is catchy and interesting, Purge The Poison is none of that. Electra Heart will remain her only good album! L+F is close but you are not ready for that conversation. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LunaeManifestum 8,302 Posted May 1, 2021 Im really looking forward to see the reaction of this thread/fans in general when the album comes out. With L+F the problem was sonority and lyrics and now the problem is (in general) fake deepness like... what this woman can do to please the majority? 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I'm looking forward to the new album even if the lyrics are bit eyeroll inducing because it actually sounds like her this time. All we wanted was something that felt authentically her and it does so far 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t say she was right or perfect about everything, just that she is WILLING to discuss this stuff and bring it up in her music. So many artists are too afraid to even attempt anything remotely political or discuss social issues. 2 Quote Arches are Illusions solid at first glance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeybladeMeister 6,466 Posted May 2, 2021 Imagine being an artist with a dedicated fanbase that does nothing but complain about anything you do... No wonder why she removed the diamonds from her stage name ??? 21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
