I CAN'T CHOOSE A NAME!!! Umm she is underrated. What are u talking about? Compared to lana del rey she has way less following, it’s sad. She’s such a good artist and people follow HALSEY AND BILLIE EYELASH. It's annoying
Lxxrt She may not be very popular, however, she has hit the charts at least once. She also has 1.4 million people who are subbed to her on YT. Yeah, other people, whose music is worst(in your opinion) are more popular. That is very true. However, there are a ton of artists that are very similar to her or make good music(in my opinion) who barely get a few 100K views. Some people even get less than 10K views. Those people are underrated. She deserves to be more popular, yeah I agree. But she is nowhere as underrated as those people.

Here’s my break down of Electra Heart parts1-11. Your interpretation might be different than mine but this is just my opinion.. She decided she didn’t want to live her life with fear and hate. In part 1 fear and loathing, she’s seen cutting her dark hair. Then she gets the blonde wig and falls in part 2 radioactive trying to live a different life style. In part 3: archetypes, she talks about who she’s going to be, a totally different person living a life style not fear and loathing. Part 4 Primadonna girl, she’s going to be the girl who wants it all, boys, clothes- everything is a new lifestyle to the electra heart persona. She also has blonde hair but her roots are dark in part 3-5 which to me translates into how she wants people to see on the outside she’s this certain person whose trying to live this in love, trophy wife, lavish life, life style (the blonde ends) but inside of her, she’s still in fear and loathing (her dark hair roots) In, Part 5: Su-barbie-a she bored of being in love and being a little housewife. Then skipping to part 6, Power and Control, she’s trying to regain power and control in her life, she’s sick of giving all of her self and not really getting much from him. (note how in this video her roots are growing out a lot, the darkness creeping back up on her.) Part 7 her old self is coming back, she’s being a heart breaker and not giving a fuck anymore. & She’ll teach you how to do it too. (her hair is completely dark, her old self has returned, and her style in this is so dark themed like fear and loathing) Part 8: E.V.O.L she’s recovering from trying to change up her persona. She’s back in fear and loathing mode, but telling the story of how love fucked her up when she was trying to live a different life style. Then Part 9: State of Dreaming is completely back to her old ways. When she was trying to change her self in part 2-5 was her state of dreaming. Bringing up her heart break and how silly she was to try to fall inlove and live differently comes Part 10: Lies. She can’t be the primadonna house wife for him because it’s just not her, hence the whole, “No i’m not the type that you like.. why don’t we just pretend.” She just can’t believe this didn’t work. Finally part 11: Electra Heart, she wants to just go back and try again. But she knows the darkness in her will always shine through the fairy style life style she tried living. Who she really is, the fear.. the darkness is just something she can’t get rid of.
Loviee A. I really like this theory, but I think her dark hair symbolizes not fear and hate, but her old self, which carries along fear and loathing. And yes, I know this comment was posted 5 years ago.
+Emmanuel Johnson its SO ANNOYING how people always say its "su-barbie-a, primadonna, homewrecker, and idle teen." The song states what you said!! thanks for getting it right tho :)
+sydney xox No, the song title is Idle Teen (play on words), but she's talking about the ache type of the "Idol Teen" (Prom queen, popular, pretty, cheerleader, etc.)
Emmanuel Johnson actually the idol/idle teen archetype is meant to represent the regret expressed over things that could have been, ei. being a prom queen, popular, pretty et ctetera, as opposed to "being 16 and burning up a bible'
Keelimepie Bluh Same I cant stop replaying it Someday in life i'm gonna regret this obsession, because all of my recent obsessions and phases are cringey.
Same, I always skipped it for some reason and then I decided to listen to it one day and I was like THIS IS AMAZING, WTF, WHY DID I ALWAYS SKIP THIS? WHAT IS LIFE
Dilay Cagliyan I read this in an interview - In 2013, the singertold a Canadian newspaperthat 679 Recordings was"bankrupt" and had "no money", after she insisted on shooting 11 videos for her second album, Electra Heart."I made a joke because I have a terrible sense of humour," she explains. "It wasn't true, but it's followed me for so long."In fact, the singer says her balance sheet is "really good"."I sold three million singles on Electra Heart so that's got to be going somewhere," she laughs. "I'm not that expensive an artist."
Yeah, it could be that too ! It reminds me of like of deep romantic love and happiness but it's hard to explain because people associate happiness to major chords (usually) and I think the truest kind of happiness is expressed through minor chords (do you get me ? x))
i feel the same way. like the part where she says "my life is a play" and you hear the drums and the bells just seems so powerful and emotional. this is easily one of my favorite marina songs
Sorry for my bad English, I am not a native speaker but I wanted to share my opinion on this track. Somehow, I feel Marina sings about our everyday state of mind in which we are driven by a need to be likebale, wanted, successful but we are missing the true nature of us as human beings. Most of us are living in a dream and would "sell our sorry soul" for these down to Earth things like fame and material things because we think those kind of things will bring us happiness and fullfilment when actually we need so much more love and compassion to be fullfiled human beings. I feel like Marina has invented this whole Electra Heart alter ego just to reach more people with her message. Because being more commercial makes you easier to reach more people and that's what she did with that album before going back to what she really actually is on FROOT. You could say Electra Heart was in a way a sort of sacrifise Marina did. Now she has the possiblity to reach people whose eye she cought with Electra Heart and who might follow her work now as well. As a human, she can't do much to help people to open their eyes, wake up from the "state of dreaming" and see which things actually matter in life, but she sings from her heart and only hopes that her message will reach at least someone's heart. She knows "her time is near" and that frightens her in a way, as life actually is compeletely inpredictable and you can die in a second (she is aware of that fact and wants you to be aware of it too) so you shouldn't take it for granted and spend it living chasing material things. She even says that her life is a play, and if you think about it (I think Shakespeare also said that), life is nothing more than a play in a way, don't take it too seriously because it'll end up one day and it won't matter how much money have you accumulated or how many diplomas you have on your wall, but it will matter if you have done something to help other people on their journey of self-realization in life. Maybe this sounds really trashy and new-agey, but I feel it that way. Just my two cents. :)
OMG YOU GUYS I JUST REALIZED!! THIS WHOLE VIDEO IS A PERFECT LOOP!! Her pose at the beginning and the end of the video are the same. Which then leads to Marina/EH restarting the cycle of daydreaming and singing the song all over again 😳😶🌫️. Our genius and gorgeous queen 🥰💅🏾✨
she looks absolutely gorgeous with the soft lighting at the beginning, she looks so dreamy and it fits this song perfectly. i remember being so obsessed with her when i was younger and now i'm coming back to her :p
Sometimes I wonder how Marina gets to make her songs so adaptable to people like me. And I love how a lot of her songs aren't about love,some of them are about wanting to be a new person and such. You go,Marina
Yea ^^^ she wants to show that we are apart of her career She's showing gratitude that if we hadn't supported her, she wouldn't be where she is. I love her!
I used to see this as a really sad song cause I'm a pretty depressing person and turn everything into sadness, but then like. Whenever I do my quizzes or tests online for my college classes I always listen to Marina and just listen to what it takes me to on auto-play. And every time I finish them I turn it in and I get that wave of relief that everyone gets. and ever since I've found this song, I've counted at least 5 times this has come on just as I touched the 'send quiz' button. I'm just like trap dancing cause I'm so happy. And now I worship this song (and of course Marina). I just finished a hard quiz and this made me even happier because now I don't see this song as depressing.
I love the change in mood in this song, how it starts out quite sad, changes to an almost cheery funeral kind of theme and then goes back down again at the end, it just matches the lyrics perfectly ' how I know my time is near' says it all really, the whole Archetypes are set out perfectly from becoming Electra Heart and thriving as her and eventually decreasing the heart of her cheek until the death of Electra Heart where Marina comes out of that era. I love it.
Somehow the Electra Heart album with this concept form touched so many... Sometimes certain things just happen at same time. I can't explain it better than that..
November 13, 2012 - November 13, 2022. The State of Dreaming video was shot 10 years ago. Marina's song that at it first listening changed me forever, because I really feel it mine in an unconditional way... because it somehow describes everything I've spent in my life. And thanks to the official video, the song has completely taken shape. I will always be grateful to Marina and her wonderful music for making me reborn.
"if you only knew my dear how I live my life in fear. If you only knew my dear how I know my time is near." That line hits hard. It is also perfectly consistent storytelling for the Electra Heart character.
I remember starting to listen to Marina when I was 14. In a few days I will be 20 years old and I feel that this song and most of the songs by Electra Heart have marked me a lot. I hope I can go to her concert one day, it would be one of the best days of my life.
God. Marina is so beautiful & talented she makes me think of a goddess. She has such a wonderful aura & she reminds me of almost an actress from the 40s-50s. She just has that feel like we can never been in the same time as her...
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was like 12 or 13. At the moment, I was going through a lot of stuff, my dad was suffering from cancer and I just felt empty inside, like there was no point in being around in this world. The first time I heard the bridge will forever be in my memory. Whenever I hear this song now I just think about how things did get better and it isn’t all just darkness. Thank you, Marina, for being such an important part of my life and for being there for me when life felt pointless. ❤️🩹
So perfect. Oh, and for the people who think it's impossible to love both mainstream artists like Taylor Swift and unique artists like Marina, you are wrong. I'm tired of being told that I can't love both areas. I'm both a Swiftie and a Diamond
There's no problem about that. I love Marina, Lana, Taylor, Florence, and also Oasis music. And yeah it's kind of weird bc they're very different but who cares? They all have pretty good lyrics and rythms:)
It happens the same to me I like Taylor, Marina, Lana, FOB and bands like that and they only now them by name and think they're rubbish and look at me weirdly, I know it's bizarre but the playlists that you can make are amazing so I don't really care
I can’t ever explain the way this whole album played such a big part in my childhood, like not just cause the time it came out but just speaking to my childhood. It means a lot to me
Froot looks like it was shot in a very similar, but happier place. Coincidence? (She was sitting on the platform that marina was standing on in the pictures from froot...)
I think this song is where Marina is most present instead of Electra. you even see the heart fade for a few seconds and Marina sadly grins at the camera, while church bells ring in the background. She's like, yeah, electras gonna die soon.
I should have noticed the foreshadowing from "Primadonna": "Live the life like I'm In a dream" -> "Yeah I'm living in the state of dreaming" "Live the life like I'm In a play" -> "My life is a play"
Marina Diamandis, the most underrated pop artist of this generation.

Yes.
"most artists" is a great disservice to music. It comes from a position of "my taste is underprivileged". True she's a rockstar for her talents, but the music we see is barely considered popular. WHat you're getting at is the music industry. Music designed to sell. There was an awesome video discussing the topic. I'm kind of arguing an issue of vernacular, but most music is small groups trying and failing to make a name for themselves. What you're referring to is most music we see on the radio and television... and vevo.

I don't think they are trying to sexualize her. It's a compliment and it could have been more vulgar. Its a compliment.

This queen is beyond perfect *_*
she looks absolutely gorgeous with the soft lighting at the beginning, she looks so dreamy and it fits this song perfectly. i remember being so obsessed with her when i was younger and now i'm coming back to her :p
After she says "If only you knew my dear how I know my time is near" Her heart disappears!
SO-LI-TAIRE I literally never noticed that wow I'm a trashcan
It's on the other cheek .-. That cheek has her hair behind her ear and the heart cheek does not ._. Her heart didn't disappear
Miow Was here Uh no that's her heart cheek and it has no heart on it. "._."
Miow Was here her heart did disappear.
+SO-LI-TAIRE but you see it again afterwards.

If someday Marina bring back to life Electra Heart I'll dying. This era was perfect!
sorry for my bad english :/
Rt
it was. I love all of her, but this era was just so deep and I miss it.
I LOVED IT! I WISH SHE WOULD BRING IT BACK❤
this needs to go viral omfg i love the electra heart era sm
It would be awesome 👏🏻
When she sings ALL I REALLY WANT / IS TO BE WONDERFUL it gives me goosebumps because no one in music has expressed such a simple need so directly.
Yes!!
she's so beautiful its not even fair
one of her best songs, the ending is gorgeous
3:08 i want to be that confetti
I want it too
*explodes into mini pieces as soon as I fall on Marina* I can die happily now..
LOL
Same tho
It’s confetto
MY LIFE IS A PLAY THAT I KEEP REPEATING IN MY HEAD OVER AND OVER ...
This is one of the most underrated songs in Electra Heart. Why isn’t it more popular???
Sometimes I wonder how Marina gets to make her songs so adaptable to people like me.
And I love how a lot of her songs aren't about love,some of them are about wanting to be a new person and such.
You go,Marina
I call them Diamonds too. LET'S BE DIAMOND TWINSIES
YESSSS
DIAMOND TWINS
FOREVA~!
That's why she's called Marina and The Diamonds she's reffering to her fans
Yea ^^^ she wants to show that we are apart of her career
She's showing gratitude that if we hadn't supported her, she wouldn't be where she is. I love her!
This song is trippy and awesome at the same........and an extremely beautiful singer.
I used to see this as a really sad song cause I'm a pretty depressing person and turn everything into sadness, but then like. Whenever I do my quizzes or tests online for my college classes I always listen to Marina and just listen to what it takes me to on auto-play. And every time I finish them I turn it in and I get that wave of relief that everyone gets. and ever since I've found this song, I've counted at least 5 times this has come on just as I touched the 'send quiz' button. I'm just like trap dancing cause I'm so happy. And now I worship this song (and of course Marina). I just finished a hard quiz and this made me even happier because now I don't see this song as depressing.
when she starts saying "if I only know my dear" it's really hits different
I love how she took the concept of "my life is a play" literally, with this Greek tragedy feel tho
I love the change in mood in this song, how it starts out quite sad, changes to an almost cheery funeral kind of theme and then goes back down again at the end, it just matches the lyrics perfectly ' how I know my time is near' says it all really, the whole Archetypes are set out perfectly from becoming Electra Heart and thriving as her and eventually decreasing the heart of her cheek until the death of Electra Heart where Marina comes out of that era. I love it.
Somehow the Electra Heart album with this concept form touched so many... Sometimes certain things just happen at same time. I can't explain it better than that..
November 13, 2012 - November 13, 2022.
The State of Dreaming video was shot 10 years ago.
Marina's song that at it first listening changed me forever, because I really feel it mine in an unconditional way... because it somehow describes everything I've spent in my life.
And thanks to the official video, the song has completely taken shape.
I will always be grateful to Marina and her wonderful music for making me reborn.
when i was younger, i wore that heart, on my left cheek religiously.
am I the only one who feels a hole in the stomach listening this song, like some nostalgic shivers
"if you only knew my dear how I live my life in fear.
If you only knew my dear how I know my time is near."
That line hits hard. It is also perfectly consistent storytelling for the Electra Heart character.
Queen of raising her arms up in the air
been listening to her since i was a pre teen , i always find myself coming back to listen to these songs when needing comfort 🩷
0:09 THAT LOOK❤
Marina doesn't even know I exist
But she's saved my life so many times
shes so beautiful in this i literally feel shy watching
I love her eyes they are so pretty😳
She's fucking perfect in every single way.
True af
MHM
I remember starting to listen to Marina when I was 14. In a few days I will be 20 years old and I feel that this song and most of the songs by Electra Heart have marked me a lot. I hope I can go to her concert one day, it would be one of the best days of my life.
I know Marina's generally beautiful, but in that gown...ugh! Stunning!
God. Marina is so beautiful & talented she makes me think of a goddess. She has such a wonderful aura & she reminds me of almost an actress from the 40s-50s. She just has that feel like we can never been in the same time as her...
She's so gorgeous 😭😭
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was like 12 or 13. At the moment, I was going through a lot of stuff, my dad was suffering from cancer and I just felt empty inside, like there was no point in being around in this world. The first time I heard the bridge will forever be in my memory. Whenever I hear this song now I just think about how things did get better and it isn’t all just darkness.
Thank you, Marina, for being such an important part of my life and for being there for me when life felt pointless. ❤️🩹
MARINA WILL RELEASE NEW SONG SOON❤❤WE NEED TO STREAM IT WHEN IT COMES OUT
When ?
"MY LIFE IS A PLAY," she SNAPPED. SLAY GIRL !!!
this song walked so handmade heaven could run
this song is so underappreciated
I agree omg
So perfect. Oh, and for the people who think it's impossible to love both mainstream artists like Taylor Swift and unique artists like Marina, you are wrong. I'm tired of being told that I can't love both areas. I'm both a Swiftie and a Diamond
I think Taylor's songs are pretty good.
There's no problem about that. I love Marina, Lana, Taylor, Florence, and also Oasis music. And yeah it's kind of weird bc they're very different but who cares? They all have pretty good lyrics and rythms:)
Marina is my absolute queen and idol, but i can get down to Bad Blood sometimes ;)
Funny how no one was a swifter until she went pop for more fans 😁
It happens the same to me I like Taylor, Marina, Lana, FOB and bands like that and they only now them by name and think they're rubbish and look at me weirdly, I know it's bizarre but the playlists that you can make are amazing so I don't really care
good luck babe sounds a lot like this
I can’t ever explain the way this whole album played such a big part in my childhood, like not just cause the time it came out but just speaking to my childhood. It means a lot to me
One of my favorite marina songs💖💖
fellow crybaby???
Durham KC the way both of your profile pictures are set up is really funny
Her high notes are heavenly. My goodness

Impractical Jokers, Sal? Nice haha
Why doesn't this have more views????? It's absolutely perfect.
Its kinda like the giver how it goes fom black and white to color
I love that book (':
i loved the book, but the movie was pretty bad.
+ChinchillasAreRad agreed.
I did not read the book, but I found the movie really good, its actually my favorite movie.
omg the giver i had to study that in yr 7
Listened to you when I was younger and was instantly in love. Love you Marina and thank you for giving me joy and hope through my younger years ❤❤
My favourite song of the album
same, i really love Teen Idle too!!
Froot looks like it was shot in a very similar, but happier place. Coincidence? (She was sitting on the platform that marina was standing on in the pictures from froot...)
Jackson Catlett Pretty sure that was also the same place Florence And The Machine filmed the video for Shake It Out.
I think this song is where Marina is most present instead of Electra. you even see the heart fade for a few seconds and Marina sadly grins at the camera, while church bells ring in the background. She's like, yeah, electras gonna die
soon.
The "my life is a play" line has always hit me
"I LIVE MY LIFE INSIDE A DREAM, ONLY WAKING WHEN I SLEEP" marina you're a genius and you're the best and literally i love you so so so so so so much
7 years since Electra died today. R.I.P our Beauty Queen ❤️
For all of us who suffer from maladaptive daydreaming thats an anthem
I looked it up lmao I def have it wow
the way this Lyrics talks bout my life it hurts... my fav song, love u marina
Can't describe how peaceful the beginning of this video feels. I can just stand here and watch Marina looking away all day.
Okay but the shivers I get with 'my life is play'
How can someone be so ethereal, so magnificent and yet so relatable? She is literally singing how I feel. She is a goddess ♡
I’m just feelin nostalgic
shes so pretty and talented i love her!!
OMG, I GET CHILLS EVERYTIME THAT I HEAR HER VOICE. IS SO GREAT!!!!!!
IMAGINE THAT IN ACOUSTIC... UFFF SHE IS AN ANGEL.
I should have noticed the foreshadowing from "Primadonna":
"Live the life like I'm In a dream" -> "Yeah I'm living in the state of dreaming"
"Live the life like I'm In a play" -> "My life is a play"
