LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I wanna be immortal
Like a god in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start
[Pre-Chorus 1]
That's what we do it for, to reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do if for, to reserve a space
In history it's just part of the human race, race
(Race, race, race, race)
(Race, race, race, race)
(Race, race, race, race)
(Race, race, race, race)
[Chorus]
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the Earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours and you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
[Verse 2]
When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It’s not enough to live out a lucky life
(Life, life, life, life, life)
[Chorus]
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the Earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours and you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
[Bridge]
No, I don't want to be afraid, afraid to die, (die, die)
I just wanna be able to say that I have lived my (life, life)
Oh, all these things that humans do
To leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn’t die is love, love, love, love, love
[Chorus]
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the Earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime (life)
Everybody dies, dies (life)
Chasing after time, time
[Outro]
So keep me alive, so keep me alive
So keep me alive, alive
Race, race, race, race

I have missed you so much.
Yes Benny!!
Omg I love you so much!😍
BENNY
***** can you marry me ?? 🙋😻
Yes
her songs are so well written and some of the lyrics just hit me so hard like shit man
+Rebecca Deary same I look up to her so much, her and Lana inspired me to write poetry and changed my perspective on many things
and oh my god melanie martinez's storytelling in all of her songs and how she included a little book with every cd telling you the storyline in rhymes! - i admire her for her creativity
+Rebecca Deary IKR I wish I could be like them
Meme Lord Nacho awh thanks! I got it from comic con October 2015 :)
Nice!
This is an absolute masterpiece, I can't even comprehend this. This is just so perfect it just........... speechless.
I agree, she's a genius.
But, who are you? I mean, you're listening to Marina and you're watching Studio Ghibli masterpieces... congrats!
Marius G ALWAYS BEE AND SHE WILL BEE!!!
@@jovanatubic4390 WOOOW!!!
James Cheeks oh wow James again?😂😂
Absolutely my friend
I don't know why but I feel like this is Marina's most meaningful song
I feel like this is one of the most meaningful songs anyone has ever made
me too.
Enjoy Your Life also
Прекрасная песня . Светлая грусть
This and to be human
God I remember when this song came out and everyone was expecting a happy upbeat song for New Years... someone posted "Yass bitch make me cry bitch!!"
Literally.........
THAT WAS ME. LMAOO
Lmao!!!
😂😂😂
+Sevarate too this day this song makes me cry I just cant explain it I guess its just the truth you know
The Family Jewels: Hating herself
Electra Heart: Fighting with herself
FROOT: Accepting herself
Love+Fear: Accepting change and love.
Love + Fear: Loving herself
I'd say now that she's dropped "and the diamonds" and that she's just Marina, everything from Love + Fear and upcoming albums will be : being herself
Man’s World: Defending herself
Ancient dreams in a modern land: healing the world
She just be droppin shit out of no where and I don't know if my body can handle this.
Yas Dylan 🙌
Actually, she's dropping things in an organized fashion. She called it her "Froot of the Months", and she'll be releasing a song from her album "FROOT" monthly on dates that match the month. (January 1st, February 2nd, March 3rd, etc.) The next song is called "I'm A Ruin" and will be released 2/2.
THANK YOU.
*SPOILER:*
Gold: 3/3
Forget: 4/4
*****
They're just promotional singles. Froot of the Month is just a promotional thing to add to the Froot hype. While some of them are singles for airplay and music videos and crap, like Froot and Immortals are, Happy was just a promotional single for download.
The reason I love this song so much is that it doesn’t have to be about romance. It can be related to familial love and friendship. Immortal to me feels more like a song about the bonds with the people you love rather than one specific person who you’re in a relationship with.
It reminds me of the love I have for my mother.
I love Marina 'cause as of yet I haven't found another female pop/alt artist that sings about such darkly interesting topics (immortality, death, identity, society, aesthetics etc). Each song is like a 4 minute sociology class, all set to a background of catchy melody. Not surprising she spoke at Oxford Uni recently, she seems really intelligent; rare for the industry she's in.
+Dope Cat SAME also I love her voice sososo much ahh
+Dope Cat you would like Melanie Martiez
+Dope Cat You should listen to Lana Del Rey, Halsey, and Melanie Martinez.
Nah melanie is mostly mental family and love issues and lana mostly about love. Idk bout Halsey but marina is way different from them.
diana9martin6 True but I love them all when it comes to dark subjects Melanie is actually includes in her songs
Bullying (not that dark but meh)
Drugs
Alchaolic parents
A baby being given pills to sleep
Plastic surgery
Murder
Prostitution
Incest
Sexual abuse
Kidnapping
Rape
Poisoning someone
Insanity and basically stuff like that so its a little more than "mental family and love issues".
Marina's lyrics are intelligent, sad and shocking. That's why I appreciate her so much. This music inspires genuine emotions... I have a few favorite artists, but probably only Marina with her music can bring me to tears or make me happy.
Mia D Stop comparing them.
@@gallarinas no one compaired them. she said that melanie too inspires genuine emotions.
Mia D Melanie doesn’t even write music pertaining to existential crises Or her analysis on life, Melanie’s music is more about her personal life and her sad feelings. Marina’s Lyrics go beyond that lmao
Marina>Melanie
This is probably my favorite song from her. It deals with the topic of love in a very original and almost universal way. She touches on the concept of immortality and expresses the deepest and most innocent human desires which makes the lyrics so majestic yet so honest and expressive. Along with the video, the song creates an interesting combination of eerie, dreamy and intense. All with Marinas voice which is one of a kind, of course. Even after 2 years I still return to this song, as it is one of the most relatable pieces. To me it is very personal and intimate.
Juraj Jakubec EXACTLY 💙
All topics are universal.
Yes, for sure. 👌💕
Couldn’t agree more. I wouldn’t have agreed with this a year ago, as I wasn’t afraid of death. This song has a whole new meaning to me now, I love it.
For me too
her songs are actually philosophical, i hope more teenagers get inspired by her
I’m literally inspired by her and I’m one I also think that she literally can help us so much but she’s so underrated like she deserves everything
I know I was, and I still am. I believe that she completely mastered the concept of "Art".
I'm inspired by her ❤
Not quite
I am
Aw look at all this happy kids
Marina: They are all going to DIE....DIIIIE.....
So lovely hahahaha
lol
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Lol ^.^
It's her as a child
Every time i watch this video I cry - the music combined with the home videos is a perfect expression of the sorrow you feel when you lose someone
Jennifer Holloway every time? Man, that must suck
Jennifer Holloway I respect that it makes you cry. But for me, it opens my mind.
Don't feel lonely I cry too😢
+Jennifer Holloway what do u know little girl .)
+Jennifer Holloway You never completely lose someone when you "lose" someone! Keep it positive, yo.
most underrated song from FROOT tho
Beautiful song in fact but I think the most underrated song from FROOT is Weeds...
Royaume d'Issou yes agreed
Dalton Porter true
weeds
This and "Better than That"
I've been with this song in my head for quite a few weeks since new year (2024), maybe because I'm 29 and it really just hit me how out time in this world is limited and maybe we'll never have the chance to do it again. In Buy The Stars she sings "We come alone and alone we die", but the middle part of it (the part where we live) is meant to be enjoyed with the people we love, to the fullest, the maximum we can. Like a Black Mage in Final Fantasy 9 once said "The joy of living with them far outweights the fear of death."
damn marina, back at it again with making me reevaluate my entire life
same
omg ikr
couldn't agree more
The best part of this song is that she wrote every lyric.
Yea its impressive that she wrote the whole album. Even lady gaga and Lana del Rey don't write there music.
Vincent Escolano Lana and Lady Gaga co-write their songs but Marina has written legit 90 percent of the songs by herself. And actually produces them herself. She's more talented than them in my opinion. However, all are amazing artists.
Ikr, she's a genuine genius artist. 👌
She is a Goddess
Lady Gaga is always the main writer on her music, she has wrote many song completely solo too, we aren't pitting talented women against each other anymore
Fun fact: I found out about Marina and the Diamonds way before I heard anything about Lana Del Rey. The Family Jewels album was the time, when I first got an interest in Marina's music. Lana got my attention only when Born to Die album came out, because it had a massive success and her songs where on every radio channel I ever listened at that time.
To all, who believes that Marina is copying Lana: No, she is not. They have their similarities, hence, music style, meaningful lyrics, and sometimes even the singing manners, but they both create absolutely diverse songs and worlds for their listeners.
Marina sings about more or less controversial things in a playful manner, for example everything that is wrong about Hollywood or that you are not a "robot", while Lana sings more about relationship related things and her feelings. They are like doom-filled ballads (Video Games or Summertime Sadness).
Marina's voice is more playful, girly - her songs feel more lively and lighter/sweeter, while still preserving seriousness that is hidden beneath. Lana's vocal is deeper, she's got that masculine kick in it, which makes her songs to hit you hard in the feelings because of the combination of song lyrics and her voice.
Well at least, this is how I see it.
Preach
i still prefer Lana :3 And she was my favorite singer since i was a lil kid... but i agree
Kønehka The Undead elf I'm just glad that you are able to see my point. Keep on liking and listening to music that you are fond of. :)
same, and i dont even like Lana's music just some more "successful" ones
Incognito Wolf omg you're so right
“Everybody dies”
*Old people happily dancing*
PLSSSOHVSCEIPVEOGIC😭😭😭😭😭
Maybe they are dancing in heaven.
Probably her grandma :(
Embracing the end I guess. Would you wanna die dancing or crying?
I was raised in a "Christian" upbringing. When my grand father died everyone was crying & sorrowful. I was thinking what's wrong with these people! The Bible says rejoyce!
this song is so heavy...damn.
This was my favorite song on Froot. It has such a Fear & Loathing vibe.
+Jasmine Amelia yeah agreed!
I think the spanish guitar makes it my favorite off Froot!
YA IT SO DOES, I SO AGREE WITH YOU. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL THOUGHT ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listened and sang to this song a thousand times one day, and my grandma passed away a day later.. Definitely a sign from God telling me to stay strong for when the moment happens, thank you Marina for this song. R.I.P. my abuelita
Es tan triste... :(

IN MY OPINION; THIS IS ONE OF HER BEST SONGS.
lyrics are deep.
and this makes me suicidal.

Marina And The Diamonds "Immortal" lyrics
I wanna be immortal

Forever in your heart
And we’ll always be together
From the end to the start
That’s what we do it for

It’s just another part of the human race
That’s what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history it’s just
Part of the human race
Race, race, race, race

But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time

The memory that I was yours and you were mine
Everybody dies
Chasing after time
When you love somebody
They’ll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don’t wanna live in vein
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It’s not enough to live out a lucky life
I’m forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There’ll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours and you were mine
Everybody dies
Chasing after time
No, I don't wanna be afraid, afraid to die
I just wanna be able to say that I have lived my life
Oh, all these things that humans do
To leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn't die is love
I’m forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There’ll be just one survivor
The memories of our life time
Everybody dies
Chasing after time
So keep me alive
So keep me alive
So keep me alive
Thanks for this. But: it's "vain", not "vein".
Marina may not be immortal, but her songs and her legacy will live on forever.
Last time I listened to the whole of this song my grandma was slowly dying.I haven't been able to listen to this song completely for about a year. But either way thankyou Marina for this track it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Love you
U okay? ❤️
@@ximearmenta6060 its been a couple of years now but I'm okay thankyou for asking 💛
My grandmother passed away slowly over the course of 1.5 years and I know how difficult it must have been for you too. I hope that she left peacefully and that you and her loved ones have found your own peace. From one stranger to another.
@@willowakiokami Thankyou, loss is never easy. I wish nothing but the same for you and your family 💜
This song is the perfect end to the album. I cannot wait for the rest. Also, petition for this to be on the "Looking For Alaska"s soundtrack if a movie is made?!
yes!!
OMFG, YEESS please!
Holy shit yes! Like, it's perfect for it! Petition it is!
yeeees this song and born to die by Lana are the best for the movie 💙💚
That's an actually good idea
Is unbelievable how much I cry with this song.
same
Today I got hospitalized because i fainted again and fell and severly damaged and bruised my throat area, and I've been having trouble breathing. I've battling with anorexia and body dysmorphia for 5 years now and recently it's only been getting worse. I also lost one of my closest family members, my grandfather. He always cheered me up, comforted me, tried everything to make me happy and smile. I really wish that I could have spent one more day with him and show him that i can change for the better. I've just recently got listening to Marina and her music is so special to me, she just reaches deep into my soul and makes me feel this happiness that i thought i have long forgotten. This woman is truly a blessing to this world and I'm entirely grateful to be living in the same age as her.
I hope you are better now. :) It's very true what you say about Marina and her music.
I hope ur doing ok and I know this woman is truly a blessing :)
stay strong
Hope you're doing better ❤
I hope the best for you my friend. God bless you
This song's message will always be so relevant. We try so hard to curate these perfect lives, through social media, material purchases, our outfits and personas. But none of it is infinite. It is finite and when we die, it all dies with us. All the memories of it die, too. The only thing that is powerful and supernatural enough to exist beyond the physical is the power of love, true human connections that, even when we are dead in the dirt, resonate deep within our resting souls and shake the world that was once around us but that now has consumed us.

You only live as long as your memory.

Gods only live as long as there is a person to remember them.
@@whitehavencpu6813 Well it's a relieve for you cause you don't have to worry about anything as you are one of those.
marina
exactly what I think
+nope_ Marina sounds disco to me as well, nothing like Lana
omg yes thank you love it
TRUE
+nope_ Because both are very alternative but you're right they're not the same. Yes some songs of Lana and Marina are close in style but just few songs and those songs are close in style to a lot of artists, nobody is copying
"When you love somebody, they'll always leave too soon".
I miss you, grandma.
Strange thinkin some of those people could be dead by now and marina immortalized them
Strange thinking being in a youtube video immortalizes someone.
Ozymandias has a word for you.
Strange thinking that some of the deceased can achieve immortality just by being in a unscathed picture
Foreal
@@Hoobyj But everyone still remembers Ozymandias, so their point still stands.
@_doppelganger I was making a reference, but thanks for calling me stupid ig 🤔
The first 2015's song I heard, thank you Marina, you're an angel.
It's still 2014, I even Googled it✋ wait till midnight doe

We all don't live in the same time zone dumbo
mister harder oh haha well..I kinda forgot about the rest of the world that isn't the USA😅 sorry and keep on listening to marina I guess...
Haha same👌 thanks marina💕
This video makes me cry. Not because it's about the future and death but about the past and life. All my mistakes come back up and what I could've done to stop myself from making those horrible decisions that hurt people and me.
I understand you, i hope you change your mind and learn to grow.
+Edrial Undrial Thank you. I will try as I hope maybe your life is good to you
Yahweh Petrie q
I lost my mother to cancer 4 months ago. I'm not an adult. Life has only been downhill from there, and this song means a lot to me.
im sorry ;;
Even as an adult, you never get over losing a parent. Unfortunately its something the entire world must deal with. its often said that Immortality would cheapen life, but I would take that a thousand times over then losing someone like that ever again. I'm so so for your loss.
Sending love Jay!
I know its been over a year...how are you feeling now? Are you okay?
@@voxeI_wave That is a beautiful conclusion and willing. Take care!
Amazing. FROOT is so underrated
Froot is undeniably brilliant ugh. the taste
Osdarvi Pérez I’m pretty sure froot was her highest grossing album in the USA so it’s not that underrated
@@hannahfleenor9864 yes
@@bigbitch584 ask someone you know of they know Marina. Likely say no
So keep me _alive_.
Omg Electra 😂
You will never die.
U died for a reason
Everybody dies, dies. 😱
Electra heart u dead already marina killed u
u can't just unkill a person xD
I just can't...
I'm feeling so connected to her. This Song discribes exactly my feelings and fears of dying, death and losing people I love.
All of her songs and lyrics are so profound.
I'm a huge fan from Germany and I'm looking forward to get her awesome album.
😍
Ich bin auch aus Deutschland und fühle genauso wie du! Marina hat einfach eine Engelsstimme und riesiges Talent. Dieses Video und Lied haben mich so umgehauen. Jedesmal denke ich mir dass sie sich selbst nicht mehr übertreffen kann doch dann passierts schon wieder. Einfach unglaublich *-*
Ja stimmt. Ich denk auch immer wie will man das noch übertreffen und dann kommt der nächste Hammer ^^ ich finds allein schon super toll, dass sie ihre ganzen Lieder selber schreibt. Bin schon so gespannt auf das nächste Lied :)
Sandra Diamond Naja übertreffen. Electra Heart war jetzt nicht so toll, ein Kniefall vor dem Mainstream, mit ganz schlechtem Produzent. ich bin überzeugt das sie noch viel mehr kann wenn sie mal die richtigen Leute hat. Das hier ist schon besser, viel besser. Ist auch der Produzent von Bat for Lashes. Wer das ist? Ja es gibt noch eine Menge toller Musik da draussen, ganz sicher nicht im Repertoire von kreischenden Teenies die zu Electra Heart da allesamt Beifall geklatscht haben.
***** ja aber sie und auch andere Künstler entwickeln sich eben weiter und probieren sich aus, sonst wäre es ja auch langweilig und ist ja verständlich , dass man nicht unbedingt jede Seite der Entwicklung mag. Ich mag bis jetzt aber alles was sie gemacht hat. Manchmal dauert es auch eine Weile bis ich es anfange zu mögen aber im Nachhinein liebe ich es dann^^ aber jeder hat ebn einen anderen Geschmack :)
***** Da magst du mit allem Recht haben, aber trotzdem hatte das Album einen schlechten Produzenten, der sie wie Katy Perry klingen ließ, die Musik war auch nicht grad einfallsreich und die Fangemeinschaft vom älteren Publikum verwandelte sich in Scharen von kreischenden Teenies. Vorher verglich man Marina mit Kate Bush, Siouxsie and the Banshees und jetzt mit Lana del Rey, Kate Perry, Christina Aguilera. Das sagt doch schon alles. Und Britney als Vorbild... naja ^^ Da hat sie einige bessere schon mal genannt wie Metric, Garbage usw. Aber mittlerweile bin ich nicht mehr in ihrem Fokus als Hörer und hab meinen Frieden damit gemacht ;)
@MARINA, when I met my girlfriend Ana, she introduced me to your music. She had been a huge fan of yours. and I instantly became a fan on the first listen. Our mutual passion of music is one of the reasons that we fell in love. Not a day would go by that we wouldn't send each other music videos to check out. It kinda symbolically became a way of sending each other love notes in the digital age. Those notes ended late last year when my beautiful Ana lost her battle with Covid-19. Now your song "Immortal" has a deeply personal meaning for me. Listening to it brings me sadness, but that sadness is bittersweet because it remains of how lucky I am to have known Ana during her too brief time in this world. Now I carry the love that we shared until my final days. So, thank you Marina. Your music helped bring Ana and I together and now it will forevermore keep her Immortal in my heart.
I can clearly feel what you felt. I lost my girlfriend at 18th of December 2023. For these weeks i have been listening to many songs but this one is so suitable to my thoughts about all the things which happened. I have a hope to meet her after my end, but for now i just save all emotions and feelings which she gave to me within 3 years. Life is so unfair...
Sorry for my English tho, its not my native.
@@unethicql I am so sorry for your loss. As long as you keep her memory alive, your girlfriend will always live on in your heart and through the love that you share with those that are close with you. And no need to apologize for your English. The English language was not my Ana's native tongue either.

@@vichilltimesybau
This video is so beautifully made, the symbolism of the home-videos playing behind her is a clever way to quite literally say the past is behind her.
Seeing these videos in chronological order as they breeze by is symbolic of how time/life goes by so quick - the only thing that doesn't breeze by is current Marina, where she is in the moment.
Finally, as she walks off in the end definitely means the present is already behind her as well as she steps further into the darkness, the unknown - the uncertainty of the future.
Bravo, Marina - powerful song and equally as well thought out powerful imagery!
Actually, the home movies are being projected onto her so she is seen as being part of her past but also experiencing them in the present, thus giving an illusion that she is immortal.
@@gregwilcott734 As much as I enjoy this idea, I have to agree with OP. Marina isn't meaning immortality in the literal sense in this song so much as how we reach immortality by leaving behind remnants of ourselves: our experiences, our ideas, and all the emotions we leave behind in the hearts of those remaining after we pass on.
THIS IS ART
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-- Fire and Ice, by Robert Frost
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
-- Immortal, by Marina and the Diamonds
I love this song, and the chorus in particular made me think of the poem by Robert Frost. I do wonder if it was a source of inspiration to Marina, because I see so many similarities, both thematical and lyrical. Both convey a sense of finality, imagining the end of the world by fire and ice. In Frost's poem, fire and ice are symbols of two forces in human nature, and he links them to desire and hate respectively. He depicts how we can be consumed by both these powerful forces, and how that in turn can mean the end of the world.
In both poem and song, ice follows fire. With Diamandis, seems that fire represents the tumultuous emotions connected to death or loss, and ice the hateful numbness that comes after. In a broader interpretation, this may be was Frost is talking about too - that loss is connected both to riotous desire and cold hate.
There is also an interesting use of the word 'twice'; while Diamandis says that she would buy 'forever' twice if she could, Frost states that if the world were to perish twice, it could do so by both fire and ice. The former is almost a subversion of the latter - Diamandis wishes for a second infinity, while Frost envisions a second ending.
While there are many similarities, the song and the poem take fundamentally different stances on the subject of deah and loss; Diamandis is mournful, reflective and pleading, where Frost on the other hand appears laconic, distanced and critical.
Well, this was fun writing, but now I really should stop procrastinating…
Thanks for this comment 😉😄
this is so beautiful omg
Ok this comment is five years old but I just want to take a second to appreciate your incredible analysis of this song and that you referred to her by her second name, I hope in 100 years people will study her music.
i was at a marina's concert back in 2016 and i cried so much when she sang this song, people actually gave me a weird look for it lol. but i'm glad I let it all out, singing at the top of my lungs 'cause this song means a lot to me.
I'm a grown ass man and this song makes me tear up. Her music and voice just hit different. It almost feels too beautiful sometimes, like sneaking a forbidden glimpse of divinity.
I’m shocked her fans usually aren’t like that
I sing my heart out to every song at concerts and I don't care if people look at me weird
Be loud , be proud 👏
“I want to be-“
*A bottle blonde?*
“-immortal.”
*Oh.*
Not alone there
My favorite Marina's song forever and ever. 💙

I've always thought she looked like a museum curator in this video and laughed about it to myself, like "Marina serving looks in this depressing ass video lmao" but now that I think about it, I think she's going for the curator look because she's showing us her collection of images and videos from people's lives, whether these people be in her life or others' lives. She is essentially putting the human condition on display, analyzing what makes events in human life special/worth living for and comparing them to the idea of immortality through her lyrics.
Dang. That was beautiful
This song should've been 8 minutes long. IT'S PERFECT!
***** I don't? haha pls explain I wanna get it too
Haru same
idk yall its not something to "get" I sincerely just want this song be longer
LOL omg good tbh omg
Thanks it made my day
***** e
Throwback to marina making us all suicidal when trying to celebrate the new year :))))))))))))
No but really how smart of her to release it on the day that is all about the passing of time
pll
Pretty Little Liars true
Pretty Little Liars: It's not a suicidal song 😐 It's not even talking about suicide
Yuno gasai they know, is just that this song is about how time just *has* to pass. We have to die. Like it or not. And it being release on the day that is all about passing time is quite ironic
"But the only thing, that doesn't die is love"
Wow, i am impressed.
Me : OMG New Years eve... 2015 please be good
*listens to this song*
marina : everybody dieeees dieeees ...
Me: Well...
MARINA I wasn't prepared for this .. !
Well, actually it has a beautiful message behind, I don't think it's depressive... And everybody dies, that's a fact, not a big deal that she says it.
"NO, I DONT WANNA BE AFRAID, AFRAID TO DIE
I JUST WANNA BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE"
It's a perfect message for the new year. Make a life that if at any point in your life you die, you could say that it's okay because you've lived a good life. It's a dark song but not depressing, I don't think.
Merna: There will be just one survivor..
Me: Santa is dat u?
This may have comment may have made my new year
I wish people would praise and recognize singers like Marina instead of the mainstream singers that sing pure bs.
Marina keeps things real and sings about human nature.
Well at least Marina gets way higher critic ratings than Taylor swift, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Beyoncé. Not to mention Marina is on the verge of breaking in the United States come her next record if her sales keep increasing like they are now.
lol no need to put mainstream artists down just to praise marina, she definitely deserves more than she gets but still no need to put others down
Not everyone has exquisite taste :)
My favorite song from Froot world.💖
Same!
me toooo
Denisse A. R. Savages is quite good too
Life is so short, memento mori and do what you love, poetry outlives the poet. This song is immortal for touching so many hearts❤
to everyone who's saying this album is "depressing" and you "wish it was like electra heart", first, electra heart was an experiment, marina said it herself. second, marina said that with this album, she's finally letting loose and letting herself be happy. if you say that this album is too sad or boring or you wish it was something else, you're basically just saying that you wish that she was stressed, anxious, or depressed again. just putting that out there.
I definitely agree.
THANK. i love EH for a lot of reasons, but im definitely glad marina found solace and made froot. EH was great aesthetically but the theme(love) wasn't all that creative. meanwhile froot has a bunch of different themes & marina doesn't have a specific theme she hopes people take away from it, unlike froot. the people who wish EH came back are so insensitive and selfish imo.
You know it's funny because a lot of people say this isn't that great or the lyrics suck but I actually relate to this song a lot. I've lost people I love to death, which is what I think this song is about. I also think she sings about having a fear of death, which I have. And also living life to die with out fear.
I can understand you. :| That fear is just so... can't describe it... Worse than terrible?!
Actually to me death is not scary and I prefer to not fear it, because I know it will just happen. As I said in a comment this song tells some truth.
yea, I think the song is about wanting to live so that when she's on the edge of glory, the final moment of truth, she feels no fear, and she feels like she's contributed to this world, and she didn't live in vain :) (if you get the references, I feel like both songs have identical theme but are opposite in the point of view)
it's a really great song, and the lyrics is thought provoking, I bet all the morons who say that lyrically it suck are the same people who enjoy lil wayne, katy perry and other flat music
TheMitaka963
I totally get it ;)
“It’s a really universal issue discussing how you leave your mark and how it’s really important to preserve memories and remember people,” Marina said about the song. “I started writing that song when I went to a war memorial in Poland. Something that somebody I was with just struck me… they said ‘It’s not a very beautiful memorial, but it deserves to be visited to keep their memory alive.’ That’s how the song - well, the lyrics - started.”
I wanna be immortal
Like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start
That's what we do it for
To reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history, it's just
Part of the human race, race
(Race, race, race, race, race, race)
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
No I don't wanna be afraid,
Afraid to die, die, die
I just wanna be able to say
That I have lived my life, life
Oh, all the things that humans do
To leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love
Love, love
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
So keep me alive
So keep me alive
So keep me alive, alive
i love how she says
"but if the earth ends in fire
and the seas are frozen in time"
the chord progression is geniusss!
Same, this is my favorite part
I thought she said "and the season frozen in time"
@@user-kh9ki3kq8m idk! I looked it up just now and the lyrics talk of seas! I think either one works
I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don't know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
_______________________________________________
I WANNA BE IMMORTAL
LIKE A GOD IN THE SKY
I WANNA BE A SILK FLOWER
LIKE I’M NEVER GONNA DIE
I WANNA LIVE FOREVER
FOREVER IN YOUR HEART
AND WE’LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER
FROM THE END TO THE START
~ Just listened to these two songs in that order and it was pretty weird experience
YOU JUST BLEW MY FUCKING MIND.
Same

+bigeyesbiglies FUCKJ CUHK CUHCHCJKCHDUHDSUHD FUCK
+alx64uchiha i like that.
I feel like this is more about being immortal WITH the one you love more than being immortal itself. I feel like the line "If I could buy forever at a price, I would buy it twice, twice" is more saying "I would buy one for you and one for me" more than "I want to live forever".
4:22 that high note is so beautiful 💛
all music very beautiful :)
Jesus thank you for that
Honestly the prospect of dying and the eventual oblivion of humans scares me so much because I don't want to be forgotten, no, no, I'm not pointless, I'm not just another number when you count the death talleys, I'm not just a name on a paper at a funeral where nothing represents what I stood for or wanted and people who don't know me leave memory messages that don't represent what I did and who I was. But I am...I am I am I am but I don't have to accept it because you can run from everything except for time which is woven artfully into everything seamlessly...
everyone will eventually be forgotten... our existence means nothing in the universe
gαlαxy exactly, i've gotten over this but you kind of wonder why the human race considers themselves to be such a big deal
+SugarTheKitty True, so all we can do is make small changes to make the world a little better
I have been thinking about it recently for some reason which i don´t know. I thought that thinking about the people who have been away and we'll never know who were these people do not exist. It's crazy to think we live in, we much importance to ourselves and that one day, not only not exist, nothing will have our brand or some memory, and we can never have existed.
I'm just terrified of disappearing...
how can her eyeliner be so on point. Mine always end up looking like a child tried to color my whole eyelid
bc there are ppl that study this like I want to
somebody does it for her haha
*This comment is so unnecessary but so relatable*
MARINA YOU FUCKING QUEEN
!!!!!
:D
Perfect
She is so so underrated. Not just her voice but her lyrics and creativity
This is so so good.
Her voice is intoxicate that makes me fall so deep
This song/video make me shiver every time I hear/see it. The lyrics are so beautiful and deep. The video is emotional because it brings the sadness that it's to lose a loved one and remember memories from the past.
The song is just beautiful- no explanation needed
First song I listened to in 2015, i do not regret this moment at all.
SAME
Marina is my religion
same
Eh homestuck is my religion but marina is second
same fellow homestuck
Telling a gay Japan-obsessed person to shut up for no reason isn't very nice, why are you being unnecessarily rude? Pointless namecalling really doesn't do anything. You don't like homestuck? Cool, it's not for everyone, especially people who will think less of a person because of the way they were born.
Can I be in the PATD religion and the Marina religion? :/
i used to actually hate this song. but now i love it. so. fucking. much. i actually love every song on Froot, so hard to pick a fave. some of them had to grow on me, like Better than that, Weeds, immortal, etc. but now this is my favorite song.
Same, I didn't like this one too much but it really grew on me
+Dystopian Palace that was my experience with Forget, was so disappointed when I first heard it, but now it's my second most listened song of the album after Savages. Most of the songs grew on me except for Savages which I instantly loved.
+Dystopian Palace I really like Marina's older albums, but when Froot came out I really disliked it. Now that I'm giving it a second chance it's been slowly growing on me.
When I listened to the whole Froot album, I don't think I liked one song except Blue. But after a second time I loved them so much. I think that's what makes Froot so unique. Once it grows on you, you can't stop listening to those songs.
Mister Mister that's almost what happened to me!
I lost my aunt in November 2021 and I kept crying listening to this song , couldn’t believe that she could die, never ever experienced this or had this feeling before the feeling of losing someone’s who’s very special and close to the heart.. Rest In Peace nano I’ll never forget you and I want you to be sure that I made it this year and I’ll make you proud….always❤️
this sounds the continuing of I'm a ruin....just the sound.. ughhh this song 😍😍😭😭
Her face. Her lyrics. Her soul. Her boobs. Her rapsy heavy voice. Her heart. Her songs. Her style. Her body. Her personality. Her liquor liquor lips. Her accent. Everything about her is the closest to perfection all of you will ever be 💘
This is my favorite song by Marina!! I love her music!!
3:29 *YAAAAAAASSSS QUEEN* the voice of this woman is like heaven
People who says "Want old Marina back" or "She's copying Lana del Rey" just stfu, okay?
Marina was always like this, this was her style since the begining, if you would listen to all of her songs, the "sad" and ballad ones.
This song is amazing, the lyrics, the production, everything!
In a way I hate that she used the scene with the grandmother when she sang "when you love somebody, they'll always leave to soon", because of the clear meaning behind it.
Greyard white Why would you hate it??
Panagiotis Boumpas Ok not hate, but I find it very saddening.
Greyard white Yeah, i also find the video really sad, but I think it fits perfectly with the song!!
Greyard white DOCTOR WHO
Libby SMEEETH YAAY! :D
Enjoy life. It's over in a blink of an eye. Live love in peace.
the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's 2022 and I'm still listening to it. love you Marina, thank you so much for this masterpiece
I think Lana and Marina are both amazing artists, but I see no need to put them up against one another. They are both not your typical pop artist but both of them interpret the world differently and their songs are subjective towards their feelings and experiences, so I think it's quite unfair to compare them because they're both very unique.
so true, you need to be on TOP COMMENT
Also Melanie
I don't want to compare. But in the alternative music community Marina isn't famously known for having deep and profound lyricism and resonating instrumentals and a unique voice. However, she stands out from the rest. She is so profound and emotionally aware of her personal issues and topics related to love and growth. I wish she was more popular. Her music will always be my favorite since I relate to a lot of it. People should wake up and listen to her psychologically aware lyrics in Froot. And the catchy pop tunes with satirically smart lyricism in Electra Heart, And the family jewels for a quirky dark experience. Amazing artist. ❤️❤️❤️
as she said in an interview "too pop for indie fans and too indie for pop fans" :/
my grandfather passed away this morning.. this song is perfect for how i'm feeling right now. Feeling the inevitable sadness but needing positivity and this song gives me both. Thank you marina
Really sorry for your loss..
I'm really sorry for your loss, wishing the best to you and your family in this difficult times.
I'm so sorry about your grandfather. My heart and thoughts are with you and family..
I'm sorry for your loss, hope you and your family get up from this soon.
Thank you all for your kind words
These lyrics are so deep and her vocals are a masterpiece. She’s a masterpiece trying to master peace with her beautiful songs. She’s so unique. I keep repeating this, but she is so beautiful and her music is gorgeous!
OMG yasss! I love it when artist drop the visual at the same time as they drop the song. This era is perfection.
Lou Zerpa Marina is far more talented than Slutena Homez. Also, Marina can sing live. Slutena can't.
Why do you think Selena is better... wtf
Lou Zerpa Nigga what
The only thing that separates us from the ones we love is time.
my fave vid of the Froot era so far - just awesome.
I'm stunned, I've been listening to this song for years. Because I love Marina in diamonds . But today I realized the depth of not the texts
Marina Diamandis, you're a pure perfection and a goddess in the whole music industry. I've got so much respect for you and I admire you from the deepest bottoms of my heart. I genuinely would do anything to meet you, you've saved my life more than a several times, countlessly. You've managed to give me strength when I most needed it. I love you so much.
I'm so proud of what you've achieved since when you've first started with Myspace and your first album 'GMTM', and you never fail to amaze me everytime you release a new song/album, I can relate to every single song and every album, genuinely every single one is my favourite.
PS. Happy New Year's, I've been playing Froot and Happy on repeat lately in the house on our massive living room's stereo and my family hates me now ahaha but I'm not giving up as your songs will be kept on repeat over and over again and now I have IMMORTAL! Ahahaha, happy new year diamonds and everyone, we're such an amazing fanbase!
best fanbase ever! :3
YAAAASSS ME^^^
Happy New Year! :)
I guess we're the same person! Let's be friends
Deyse Luna This fanbase's a legitimate family.
Yesterday, about 4 hours before the new year, I sat on a bus all by myself listening to this song while looking out of the windows seeing the city lights and fireworks over Copenhagen. I'm turning 20 this year and for a while I've been scared by the thought. Through the last year I've realised that I'll not be a kid forever and that I have to grow up soon. It was nice to end the year with listening to this song. I know I'll be okay even though I'm not immortal or forever young. Thank you Marina
Pretty much every time I listen to this I cry
first of all i want to APOLOGIZE for discovering this song so way LATE, i am AMAZED literaly WOW its a WOW song STUNED so underrated song.....why are no bilions on there....remarkable song and singer SPOT ON i cant imagine someone else singing this song.
How can anyone dislike this?!?!?! Marina, you and your music are flawless!❤️
Thanatophobia is a bitch
