Dude. Marina gets it. “I am not my body, not my mind or my brain. I am not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA.” She recognizes that *everything* we perceive, in its totality, is pure consciousness. We are witnesses to life. We are not our ego, we are not our body, we are pure consciousness observing a life in this specific reality.
@@dr.shuppet5452 I think they were using pure consciousness as a way to state that if you take away everything else, ego, body, environment even, then you are only conciousness. So they were just saying that if Marina sings that "I am not my body, not my mind or my brain." She's implying that deeper than these things exists 'pure' conciousness. If that makes sense. I think this comment is just made to entertain the thought that we should not fixate too much on things we can't control body, dna etc. But to continue witnessing life with our conciousness.
@@hannahlennertkristiansen4797 I am favoring meaningful lyrics (which Pop's strenght is not) does not make me anti anything. If pop is good is thanks to Marina. Giving to pop that feel more than the feeling of chewing gum, so to speak. You know, tastier, long lasting. Definitely somethig Marina is very familiar with.
2:26 "from the heart of malaysia, to the dark himalayas, from the day you were born, you are not here to conform" Definitely the best line of the whole song
I just love how our whole generation is going through a spiritual awakening/ changing. This perfectly depicts how we all feel at this moment in history. U tell ‘em, Marina
I'm really impressed on how therapeutic this song is - the chorus she's literally singing about grounding yourself - You're here, you are not your history, not your body, not your dna, you're living in earth, observing life as someone who's constantly disassociating this is really helping me getting back together to reality
"you are not here to conform". this should be basically carved into every single educational building with huge letters and kids from earliest possible age should be made to understand it. love this song so much, it also fits my idea of what being "yourself" truly means, a witness, an observer. you are not someone who is making decisions or someone who is in charge of their life, but you are something that knows it exists and simply experiences reality exactly the same way your brain perceives it. fascinating.
@@ahhmm5381 yeah, that's where you are wrong. have you ever heard anti-social personality disorder? trust me, those people DO NOT want to be accepted by society whatsoever. i am not saying that such disorder is necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, it is just another way to be, i am just providing an example that not every human is "social creature" believe it or not.
marina is such a genius like her lyricism and word play is out of this world. you don’t see that in pop music a lot and i love how she brings something new and beautiful to listen to
"You're not here to conform" is a very poignant message to kids. She could be doing Electra Heart part 3 but she decided to do something more important. I have nothing but respect for this woman.

(02:27) From the Heart of Malaysia, to the dark Himalayas¬ I'm from KL, Malaysia and Marina's lyrics are spot on. South East Asia was mainly colony territories of farmlands just a generation ago. in a short few decades ancient dreams have been built over by modern land. You can think of Bali or Singapore too. Asia shifted from 'thinking of 'Ancient' as inheritance, to 'Ancient' as in outdated against the 'Modern'. How is Marina this culturally insightful and accurate? Amazing.
A fellow Malaysian AND listens to Marina??? Cultured! Your analogy is really bizarre, I hadn’t thought of that before. I thought Malaysia was mentioned purely by coincidence but turns out it isn’t. Just bomb.

@@Ash_W04 I’m not familiar with her views there, so that’s fair. My perspective was merely her understanding that we are not our bodies, etc. it’s a spiritual perspective echoed by many teachers, and as a long-time fan of marina it’s been nice seeing her lyrics evolve in this way.
I feel like songs (pop at least) has become very light on metaphors and symbolism lately. Very down to earth, what you read is what you get kinda thing. Makes less room for interpretation i feel like.
@@alexterieur8813 well just like pop movies, pop songs also have to be diluted in their lyrics to be liked by most people... if you are looking for creatively meaningful songs, I suggest going for indie or experimental artists.
@@aakarshan4644 yes but i feel like pop wasnt always like this. It goes without saying other genres like indie are more likely to be more coded but even i feel like there is a current of very simplistic lyrics across many genres
@@alexterieur8813 well yes I agree. I don't wanna say it but most pop music nowadays is kinda shallow. today pop music is an escapist cope from a noisy world rather than a creative outlet from a mundane world in the past.
Marina in 2009 : I am not a robot Marina in 2010 : I know exactly what I want and who I want to be. Marina in 2015 : I'm a ruin Marina in 2021 : I am not my body, not my mind or my brain, not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA.
Only Marina can make songs (even album-Love+fear) about human society, personality, accepting who you are in a very catchy, unique way. Marina does your head hurt of wearing crown everytime you make a new song or album 👸
@@darioooxx1842 I actually liked that album. I definitely think it's not the best album but there are pretty good snogs there, plus none of them are shallow.
I love the eye of the storm reference. I feel like it could be seen two ways. 1.) being neutral or at peace despite the chaos surrounding us or 2.) acknowledging the ways in which “peace” is obtained through destruction. This can be referring to the ways in which developing countries must suffer in order to profit wealthy countries.
Personally, it reminds me of a quote by Sam Harris: ,,You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You ARE the storm." It's a quote about the concept of free will (specifically the lack of it). Some people, when they're told they have "no free will", misunderstand what it means. It does not mean you cannot do whatever you want (you can), but you cannot choose What you want, because it's always determined by something, consciously or unconsciously. The way i see the verse in the song, it's like Marina saying that despite being a part of the deterministic system (being the storm), there is a part of you that is separate from all of the existing determiners (DNA, body, environment) - you are simply the observer, you are the eye of the storm. just like everyone else. It's something we all share. Marina didn't have to mean it like that, but that's the way i personally interpret it for myself haha.
I understand "i can be the eye of the storm" as "i can control my own life even if the whole world around me is mess, my soul is mine own and i can achieve the power to fulfill what i want trough self work and evolution".The eye of the storm herself taking control of her own life.
Marinas getting into some deep philosophical shit here. This song seems like it's talking about enlightenment. She's taking a look inside herself and understands that the ego does not exist and that all you can identify with is the observer. I'm not my body or my mind or my brain and I'm not my feelings or my thoughts or DNA. Marina seems to understand material body is disconnected from her sense of identity and being. Where are you located within your body, it's hard to locate yourself because....you don't really exist. You're just a cluster of cells that created an identity within itself. The "I" of the "storm", possibly referring to her final conclusion that perhaps she is the all encompassing witness to existence. That is, the universe experiencing itself.
I think this song is about the impending climate crisis. The ancient dream is to have a good life, but now that we have the tech we ruined the earth, and ruin ultimately the goal of our ancestors. “We’re not living in a seminal age, the walls are being broken and we’re ready for change” it’s rooting for us and hopeful we can change things before it’s too late. I think the idea of her saying she is not her body, mind or brain means she is not singing this song or sharing this message as something for herself but as a public service announcement. I think this is a protest song protesting continuing practices that harm the environment.
This song is literally the meaning of life, how did she do that? Dammmn. Humanity has evolved so much it can artistically fit its own purpose in a 3 minutes MV. DAMN. And wow it sounds good. alternative yet very harmonic and easy to listen to. Plus the healing and confident lyrics... Really, she worked it until it was perfect. I'll listen to this with TXT's "Dear Sputnik" because of the "spacial" vibes and comforting lyrics about the worth of living. Thank you MARINA
@@goldengore5442 There are days like that, I can absolutely relate. That sounds silly but maybe watch this video again or look at something done by a human that's really cool and amazing. I feel like it's worth we exist even for the little good things we bring to existence.
“You don’t have to be like everybody else, you don’t have to fit into the norm” are the most meaningful lyrics to younger people as most of the time if your different you get bullied so your pressured to be like everyone else.
@@ps5hasnogames55 Love+ Fear isn't really a bad album, it's just not as interesting as her others. Besides there are a lot of great songs on it like Handmade heaven, superstar, to be human, end of the earth, believe in love, karma, too afraid, no more suckers, orange trees, Baby and enjoy your life
@@ps5hasnogames55 i love love +fear, it genuinely helped with my mental health because it pushed to me listen to songs that made me feel happy, not, more sad i guess
wtf... guys if you don't know what that means or why it touches you, poor you.. those are literally the few most cheap lines in this song 😂 all the others are strong, such a beautiful and exquisite song, why the hell did you pick up only those which appear in every mainstream soulless mindless pop song?
I actually hadn't heard of her before seeing her open for Panic at the Disco but she went from unknown to me to like top 5 artists I'm digging right now. This song has been in my head all day and the lyrics are so deep and universal 🤩
I would adore having a conversation with Marina, I feel so connected to her and believe we have the same introspective feelings and thoughts about our purpose and humanity, and what is beyond.
Ok why am I getting Family Jewels vibes, is it just me??? It kind of has those vibes but much more evolved and mature, as Marina has really grown as a person!!! I'm so proud of you Marina for how far you've come!!! Also legit she does not look any older than those days, she is still simply flawless
Lyrics [Verse 1] Our ancestors had to fight to survive Just so we could have a chance of a life We're not here so we can blow it all We could bear witness to the rise and the fall [Refrain] Ancient dreams in a modern land I'm trying to get back as fast I can Back to a time before I had form Back to a time before I was born [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look insidе myself Recognize that I could bе the eye, the eye of the storm [Chorus] I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!) Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey!) I live in the space between the stars and the sky [Verse 2] What's your purpose? Why were you put on Earth? You could be lost but you belong to the world We're now living in a seminal age The walls are being broken and we're ready for change [Refrain] Ancient dreams in a modern land I'm trying to get back as fast I can Back to a time before I had form Back to a time before I was born [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look inside myself Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm [Chorus] I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!)

So far, only three singles in in fairness, and this album has the second worst lyricism only to Love & Fear. Lyrics aside, it sounds a lot more like her older albums, which is great
@@dumbbabey4220 I don't know man, they're all filled with poorly said empty platitudes that could be written way better, especially since she has done so before in Electra Heart. The lyrics of this song are especially empty, meant to sound thought-provoking when in reality they don't seem to mean or be referring to anything specific at all. It's a shame too because they sound great otherwise.
" You could be lost but you belong to the world" Really love that phrase, and all of the lyrics of the album in general, Marina is insane, she doesn´t have any bad song!!
This song is so espiritual, the fact that she doesn’t identify herself with her body, brain or feelings has so much to do with the budism philosophy. It says that your soul is something separated from your body or your thoughts, and the problem of the human being that causes him pain is to identify himself with his thoughts. I love that Marina is this deep and she shares it with the world ❤️
the way this fits both into the "love yourself" concept/mindset and the "i am nothing but my consciousness" concept/mindset is crazy. as someone who grew up educated by Christianity, and always believed in the theory that we're not our ego, this really describes my point of view abt life. we are nothing but our consciousness, we're only here to try things, to experience things, knowing we can shift anytime we want to, to any other ego we want to
I was 11 when i started listening to her, now im almost 23❤ and i always feel like a teenager again when i listen to her. 🥺🌠❤ The one artist that never disappointed me through all this years
Same, I'm 24 and I'm listening to Marina since Primadonna back in 2012. I think 80% of who I am and how I perceive the world is thanks to Marina's lyrics.
I remember when Marina released her first single like 10 years ago. Those deep lyrics got me instantly. Then I lost track of her career until TH-cam recommended me this. I'm so glad she is still writing good music and lyrics. Rock and metal will be always at top for me but Marina is an artist way ahead of our time.
i feel like marina and i are vibrating on the same frequency, her music evolves with me and she always knows exactly what to write to get me out of what ever existential crisis i’m experiencing at that time of my life. How many people can say Marina is their spirit guide✨👁✨
Exactly what happens to me with every new era she delivers. I cannot even describe the feeling I got when I heard the first snippet of this song 🤯 Then I remembered that she's an INFJ...
That's spiritual enlightenment spiritual awakening realizing you are the observer not your mind or thoughts or emotions lol nor your body. That's opening your 3rd eye. Lol idk why u talking about shifting is that like enlightenment and going beyond the ego?
@@lopezbill6132 shifting is the act of going to another reality through various methods, you can either shift to a fictional reality or a variation of this reality that fits your ideals, there's many more ways I can explain the topic but it's best to do your own research on the rest of it.
@just-like-magick why do you guys think marina is talking about shifting? She is talking about spiritual enlightenment idk why people think she shifts reality lol.
@just-like-magick yes there Is nothing wrong with interpretating a song in different ways. My only point is the creator of that song didn't make it for shifting regardless of what your impression is about the song. This song is about spirituality and realizing your true nature which is why she says don't conform to this world and she she tells you her true nature it isn't the brain or her body or thoughts but the observer. She is pretty much saying she knows her deepest self the self that lives on when the body dies. She knows her essence

Dude. Marina gets it. “I am not my body, not my mind or my brain.

We are not our ego, we are not our body, we are pure consciousness observing a life in this specific reality.
mind body divide problem running deep... Nothing profound about solipsism
The 'base reality' is still very debatable even among top scientists. If you can enlighten them, be my quest.
She doesn't say that we are pure consciousness. What is "pure consciousness" anyway, and why look for the ego there and not somewhere else?

In the age of symbolism, sarcasm and metaphors, these lyrics are damn straight. Fucking love it.
I feel like songs (pop at least) has become very light on metaphors and symbolism lately. Very down to earth, what you read is what you get kinda thing. Makes less room for interpretation i feel like.
@@alexterieur8813 well just like pop movies, pop songs also have to be diluted in their lyrics to be liked by most people... if you are looking for creatively meaningful songs, I suggest going for indie or experimental artists.
@@aakarshan4644 yes but i feel like pop wasnt always like this. It goes without saying other genres like indie are more likely to be more coded but even i feel like there is a current of very simplistic lyrics across many genres
@@alexterieur8813 well yes I agree. I don't wanna say it but most pop music nowadays is kinda shallow. today pop music is an escapist cope from a noisy world rather than a creative outlet from a mundane world in the past.
Nothing here was symbolic. Everything is quite literal
Marina in 2009 : I am not a robot
Marina in 2010 : I know exactly what I want and who I want to be.
Marina in 2015 : I'm a ruin
Marina in 2021 : I am not my body, not my mind or my brain, not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA.
What about “I’m a Machine An emotional Being “ From Love and Fear ?
she is also not hungry anymore
Marina in 2012: A Primadonna girl (yeah)
She lives between the stars and the sky
So, Everything and Nothing by J. L. Borges ;)
I have existential thoughts all the time! Love that this song gave me another!
no one makes music like marina and that’s why she’s literally so fucking elite
She is literally the goddess
say it louder 🎤
GODDESS
I’m genuinely so grateful I’m existing at the same time as Marina
This
Only Marina can make songs (even album-Love+fear) about human society, personality, accepting who you are in a very catchy, unique way.
Marina does your head hurt of wearing crown everytime you make a new song or album 👸
I found it funny how you say “Even Love+Fear” everyone knows that’s not her best work, but still tho that album has a few gems
@@darioooxx1842 I actually liked that album. I definitely think it's not the best album but there are pretty good snogs there, plus none of them are shallow.
Love + Fear is amazing 😍
Love+Fear is great

Marina had me at 'Heartbreaker', this is renewing my vows.

I love the eye of the storm reference. I feel like it could be seen two ways. 1.) being neutral or at peace despite the chaos surrounding us or 2.) acknowledging the ways in which “peace” is obtained through destruction. This can be referring to the ways in which developing countries must suffer in order to profit wealthy countries.
I. Love. This. Comment. Bless you.
Personally, it reminds me of a quote by Sam Harris: ,,You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You ARE the storm." It's a quote about the concept of free will (specifically the lack of it). Some people, when they're told they have "no free will", misunderstand what it means. It does not mean you cannot do whatever you want (you can), but you cannot choose What you want, because it's always determined by something, consciously or unconsciously.
The way i see the verse in the song, it's like Marina saying that despite being a part of the deterministic system (being the storm), there is a part of you that is separate from all of the existing determiners (DNA, body, environment) - you are simply the observer, you are the eye of the storm. just like everyone else. It's something we all share. Marina didn't have to mean it like that, but that's the way i personally interpret it for myself haha.
No it's a Fortnite reference 🙂
I understand "i can be the eye of the storm" as "i can control my own life even if the whole world around me is mess, my soul is mine own and i can achieve the power to fulfill what i want trough self work and evolution".The eye of the storm herself taking control of her own life.
@@Ye_Is_The_Way noitstrue
I swear she's the only artist who never disappoints me
Period

Because she’s an entity and entities don’t make mistakes
That's why she's always my favorite.
@@alschafer4339 If we repeat her name in the mirror, will she appear?
I can't believe Marina invented deep philosophical thoughts and reality-shifting
As a Malaysian, I got so happy when I heard Marina sing my country's name. I feel so seen. Thank you ❤️

IKRRRRR OMG 😭😭😭😭
🇲🇾🙌🙌🙌 proud Malaysian
I know it's just for rhyme but at least she knows we exist. hehe

WHY ISNT THIS TRENDING THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING OF SOMETHING NEW
YES?!
because people like trash. this is the opposite of trash, so nobody cares. ♥ shes our little secret ♥♥♥
Well... let's make it trendy. So people can discover the talented Marina Queen.
@@ariyaddna we need to organize
i consider myself so beyond lucky to witness this magic happening
Shes been raising me for the past 10 years now..
Me too
still 2024 and this song is in my mind all the time!! 💗
"You don't have to be like everybody else,
You don't have to fit into the norm, You are not here to conform" MARINA always give a life advice :)
Marinas getting into some deep philosophical shit here. This song seems like it's talking about enlightenment.
She's taking a look inside herself and understands that the ego does not exist and that all you can identify with is the observer. I'm not my body or my mind or my brain and I'm not my feelings or my thoughts or DNA. Marina seems to understand material body is disconnected from her sense of identity and being. Where are you located within your body, it's hard to locate yourself because....you don't really exist. You're just a cluster of cells that created an identity within itself.
The "I" of the "storm", possibly referring to her final conclusion that perhaps she is the all encompassing witness to existence. That is, the universe experiencing itself.
Yeah. Most people don't realise about the depth of this song.
@@mmddubstepcanbefree6277 nah, she's just very straightforward about it enough for this explanation being half the lyrics.
I think this song is about the impending climate crisis. The ancient dream is to have a good life, but now that we have the tech we ruined the earth, and ruin ultimately the goal of our ancestors.
“We’re not living in a seminal age, the walls are being broken and we’re ready for change” it’s rooting for us and hopeful we can change things before it’s too late. I think the idea of her saying she is not her body, mind or brain means she is not singing this song or sharing this message as something for herself but as a public service announcement. I think this is a protest song protesting continuing practices that harm the environment.
We forget we are part of the universe, not living just alongside it.
my thoughts when im bored be like
Years go by and she is still giving us EVERYTHING. Like she keeps taking her albums/eras seriously and she DELIVERS. We don't deserve her.
oh yeah the era is slaying
i’m basing my whole personality in this, idc if i’m too old i’m doing it
you're not alone in this
X2
She is really a role model to everyone.
💎💙💙
This song is literally the meaning of life, how did she do that? Dammmn. Humanity has evolved so much it can artistically fit its own purpose in a 3 minutes MV. DAMN. And wow it sounds good. alternative yet very harmonic and easy to listen to. Plus the healing and confident lyrics... Really, she worked it until it was perfect. I'll listen to this with TXT's "Dear Sputnik" because of the "spacial" vibes and comforting lyrics about the worth of living. Thank you MARINA
dear sputnik is actually my fav song of the freeze album safdgfgjs stan txt and marina
@@renzuzel8714 Kskskgfq Yes!!
u nailed it, and she did too
These days honestly feels like humans are devolving
@@goldengore5442 There are days like that, I can absolutely relate. That sounds silly but maybe watch this video again or look at something done by a human that's really cool and amazing. I feel like it's worth we exist even for the little good things we bring to existence.
“You don’t have to be like everybody else, you don’t have to fit into the norm” are the most meaningful lyrics to younger people as most of the time if your different you get bullied so your pressured to be like everyone else.
Ok MARINA we get it, you can literally never make a bad song.
Maybe she should release a couple more, just to sure... 😏
@@Nyaliva YESSS
all of love + fear says hello
@@ps5hasnogames55 Love+ Fear isn't really a bad album, it's just not as interesting as her others. Besides there are a lot of great songs on it like Handmade heaven, superstar, to be human, end of the earth, believe in love, karma, too afraid, no more suckers, orange trees, Baby and enjoy your life
@@ps5hasnogames55 i love love +fear, it genuinely helped with my mental health because it pushed to me listen to songs that made me feel happy, not, more sad i guess
no you don’t understand.. i’m obsessed
no bc same
"You don't have to be like everybody else,
You don't have to fit into the norm,
I'm not here to conform."
Same!!!
What does it mean?
Because they’re the words of a goddess💗💗🤩🤩🤩
wtf... guys if you don't know what that means or why it touches you, poor you.. those are literally the few most cheap lines in this song 😂 all the others are strong, such a beautiful and exquisite song, why the hell did you pick up only those which appear in every mainstream soulless mindless pop song?
I can find you some Forever21 shirts with those writings
I actually hadn't heard of her before seeing her open for Panic at the Disco but she went from unknown to me to like top 5 artists I'm digging right now. This song has been in my head all day and the lyrics are so deep and universal 🤩
Welcome to the fandom! You’re in for a wild ride ❤️
@@charliequinn_ thank you! Just going back and listening to her older stuff to newer it's amazing she constantly evolves 🤩
@@Gilgamesh389 My personal favourite is FROOT followed by The Family Jewels, but it’s hard to pick a favourite when all her albums stand on their own
@@charliequinn_ I love those both! Id say this is my favorite, mostly because I relate to it on a spiritual level haha
I would adore having a conversation with Marina, I feel so connected to her and believe we have the same introspective feelings and thoughts about our purpose and humanity, and what is beyond.
Yasss same here!!
Yeah she's unique

i genuinely believe that marina is mother nature in a human form
now that you mention it, yes
Marina is Demeter/Gaia confirmed?
@@mylifeislikethecake yasss
Gaia
She goes from Athena to Gaia real quick.
Ok why am I getting Family Jewels vibes, is it just me??? It kind of has those vibes but much more evolved and mature, as Marina has really grown as a person!!! I'm so proud of you Marina for how far you've come!!! Also legit she does not look any older than those days, she is still simply flawless
100% for sure! This feels like a return but stronger and even more evolved!
Yeah the swinging melody and thumping beat feels like Hermit the Frog and/or Outsider to me!
Yes yes! Very mowgli’s road with the beat...

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Our ancestors had to fight to survive
Just so we could have a chance of a life
We're not here so we can blow it all
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall
[Refrain]
Ancient dreams in a modern land
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Back to a time before I had form
Back to a time before I was born
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look insidе myself
Recognize that I could bе the eye, the eye of the storm
[Chorus]
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!)
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey!)
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
[Verse 2]
What's your purpose? Why were you put on Earth?
You could be lost but you belong to the world
We're now living in a seminal age
The walls are being broken and we're ready for change
[Refrain]
Ancient dreams in a modern land
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Back to a time before I had form
Back to a time before I was born
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm
[Chorus]
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!)
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey!)
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
[Bridge]
From the heart of Malaysia
To the dark Himalayas
From the day you were born
You are not here to conform
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm
[Chorus]
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!)
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey!)
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
Thank you for writing the lyrics down a c!
@@ItsAboutSusi I'm glad they helped you!
She should be in a songwriting hall of fame, I mean.... THE LYRICS this era is giving us!
I second this!!! She's definitely one of the best songwriters of this generation!
ikr she’s just giving us facts after facts 🗣
So far, only three singles in in fairness, and this album has the second worst lyricism only to Love & Fear. Lyrics aside, it sounds a lot more like her older albums, which is great
@@QwazolaDood purge the poison had bad lyrics but this and mans world are amazing what
@@dumbbabey4220 I don't know man, they're all filled with poorly said empty platitudes that could be written way better, especially since she has done so before in Electra Heart. The lyrics of this song are especially empty, meant to sound thought-provoking when in reality they don't seem to mean or be referring to anything specific at all. It's a shame too because they sound great otherwise.
" You could be lost but you belong to the world" Really love that phrase, and all of the lyrics of the album in general, Marina is insane, she doesn´t have any bad song!!
"i am not my body not my mind nor my brain i am not my thoughts not my dna" i felt that
HELP THIS IS HER BEST MISIC VIDEO PERIOD
Yesss fellow Barb and a Diamond 💎💞
This song is so espiritual, the fact that she doesn’t identify herself with her body, brain or feelings has so much to do with the budism philosophy. It says that your soul is something separated from your body or your thoughts, and the problem of the human being that causes him pain is to identify himself with his thoughts.
I love that Marina is this deep and she shares it with the world ❤️
I noticed these underlying Buddhist themes too!
She was reading spiritual books last summer i think on her instagram
There is no soul nor self in buddhism. Love the lyrics but she still separates herself and suffers for it, the observer IS the observed.

@@isabelborges5747 I love mythology and it's amazing
This is my new personality.
Yes same
Y la mía :v
the way this fits both into the "love yourself" concept/mindset and the "i am nothing but my consciousness" concept/mindset is crazy.
as someone who grew up educated by Christianity, and always believed in the theory that we're not our ego, this really describes my point of view abt life.
we are nothing but our consciousness, we're only here to try things, to experience things, knowing we can shift anytime we want to, to any other ego we want to
I was 11 when i started listening to her, now im almost 23❤ and i always feel like a teenager again when i listen to her. 🥺🌠❤
The one artist that never disappointed me through all this years
I'm felling the same her voice is so great and her lyrics always makes me remember a lot
Same, I'm 24 and I'm listening to Marina since Primadonna back in 2012. I think 80% of who I am and how I perceive the world is thanks to Marina's lyrics.
She's definitely my favourit philosophy teacher
"I am the observer, I'm a witness of life"
"I live in the space between the stars and the sky"

@@NotJoegoldberg omg thats so cool
@@NotJoegoldberg thats revolting, humans are not God
@@rawadmakarem5853 "humans" are not. Our soul / spirit is which "lives in space, between the sun and the sky"

Marina is such a unique person, she's that friend we all asking for, she's like soulmate who understands you perfectly
she's serving psychedelic visuals and 80s sounds? sign me up because this era is about to be my new personality lmfao
I remember when Marina released her first single like 10 years ago. Those deep lyrics got me instantly. Then I lost track of her career until TH-cam recommended me this.
I'm so glad she is still writing good music and lyrics.
Rock and metal will be always at top for me but Marina is an artist way ahead of our time.

Song gives me chills
I hope people will finally admit one day, that Marina is one of the best songwriters ever 💖
AMEN. froot is peak songwriting

"I am not my body, my mind or my brain. I am not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA." I agree. I will always be like this.

i feel like marina and i are vibrating on the same frequency, her music evolves with me and she always knows exactly what to write to get me out of what ever existential crisis i’m experiencing at that time of my life.
How many people can say Marina is their spirit guide✨👁✨
Exactly what happens to me with every new era she delivers. I cannot even describe the feeling I got when I heard the first snippet of this song 🤯 Then I remembered that she's an INFJ...
Yes I completely agree with this! I’ve grown so much with her music
OMG SAME!
Me too!! It's crazy!! And when I heard Happy Loner my mind was blown! Now I'm sad she will never release it
Same for me. Its like our mind goes through the same things: and she releases music of the things I'm going through/I'm thinking ♥️
i love the way all of us know marina is gonna kill us
and we are looking forward to it
She will evolve into a Lovecraftian Goddess and I welcome it
literally shifting
That's spiritual enlightenment spiritual awakening realizing you are the observer not your mind or thoughts or emotions lol nor your body. That's opening your 3rd eye. Lol idk why u talking about shifting is that like enlightenment and going beyond the ego?
@@lopezbill6132 shifting is the act of going to another reality through various methods, you can either shift to a fictional reality or a variation of this reality that fits your ideals, there's many more ways I can explain the topic but it's best to do your own research on the rest of it.
@just-like-magick why do you guys think marina is talking about shifting? She is talking about spiritual enlightenment idk why people think she shifts reality lol.
@@lopezbill6132 it's just how someone else interprets the song, isn't that what art is about? people having different views on the piece 🤠
@just-like-magick yes there Is nothing wrong with interpretating a song in different ways. My only point is the creator of that song didn't make it for shifting regardless of what your impression is about the song. This song is about spirituality and realizing your true nature which is why she says don't conform to this world and she she tells you her true nature it isn't the brain or her body or thoughts but the observer. She is pretty much saying she knows her deepest self the self that lives on when the body dies. She knows her essence
