11 Times Marina & The Diamonds Lyrics Captivated Us
Pink Chanel Suit

Marina and the Diamonds, a Welsh singer-songwriter from Greek descent, has the most captivating lyrics. Her three very underrated albums are full of them, the following are just a fraction of what she has to offer. Definitely check out her albums: The Family Jewels, Electra Heart & Froot. But without further ado, let's get us some lyrics.

1. ''Are you satisfied with an average life; Do I need to fly to make my way in life'

'Are You Satisfied?' from her debut album 'The Family Jewels' talks about her struggle with becoming famous and questions if fame will bring joy to a life.

2. ''It's okay to say you've got a weak spot; You don't always have to be on top; Better to be hated than loved for what you're not''

'I Am Not A Robot' from TFJ talks about vulnerability and that it's okay to not always feel as strong as the world expects you to be.

3. ''Cause I feel like I'm the worst; So I always act like I'm the best''

Marina mocks the industry in 'Oh No!' (TFJ). She talks about how she pretends to be fine and happy all the time, but silently she isn't.

4. ''I don't wanna admit, but we're not gonna fit; No, I'm not the type that you like; Why don't we just pretend?''

The Electra Heart era brought some very sad, but relatable, songs and the lyrics are something else really. 'Lies' talks about a toxic relationship, but not wanting (or be able to) walk away from it.

5. ''It almost feels like a joke to play out the part; When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart''

'Starring Role' tells another tale in the story of Electra Heart and her unrequited love. But she does know she is good enough and deserves better.

6. ''Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope; Built with a heart, broken from the start and now; I die slow''

The haunting song 'Valley of the Dolls' talks about the fact that Electra Heart seems to be doomed from the start, she talks about her heavy heart and her different personalities.

7. ''And when the time comes along and the lights run out; I know where I will belong when they blow me out''

My favorite song is 'Fear and Loathing'. It talks about finding yourself, knowing who you are and knowing where you want to end up. It does in the perspective of death. (Since the persona Electra Heart is dying)

8. ''I'm not afraid of God; I am afraid of men''

In 'Savages' from her latest album 'Froot' Diamandis adresses the greed of men and she talks about the wars and terrorism that dirties the earth.

9. ''Cause in the end, the road is long; But only 'cause it makes you strong; It's filled with peaks and twists and turns; Sometimes you have to learn to forget about it''

In 'Forget' she goes through a self discovery. From not being able to forget and always holding grudges, to living a life where she can evolve and learn from her mistakes.

10. ''Found what I'd been looking for in myself; Found a life worth living for someone else; Never thought that I could be, I could be happy?''

In 'Happy' Marina finally admits to herself that she can be happy and she actually thinks she is.

11. ''We've broken up and now I regret it; I said goodbye when I shouldn't have said it''

I bet we all know that feeling Marina describes in 'Blue'.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
