| Marina and the Diamonds – The Archetypes Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song struck such a sensitive place with me. I was raised by two narcissists, and truly was [in some manner] all of the four archetypes of the mentioned "ugly years". I still feel fake, like a "living myth", and I'm sure many people have felt the same way. I have no solid interpretation to offer. This song, for me, represents being my father's "jewel" for all my life; a beautiful, cold object which people could only gaze upon. And people never knew how lonely I was, though I fit in and got along with anyone I came into contact with. I was never a whole person, I was just what everyone [especially my father] wanted me to be. Aside from all this, the song itself is genius. The robotic voices mixed with Marina's voice and the eery melody is...just something beautiful and haunting. The message and feelings I felt while first listening to this will not go away, and somehow just sharing this online has become therapeutic. |
