Marina and the Diamonds – Buy the Stars Lyrics 11 years ago
I feel as if this song is about her dad, and "buying stars" means having kids. For example, she talks about how the stars are free and not for him to keep (I feel like she has a rocky relationship with her dad, in "Starring Role" she says something like "You're just like my dad"). Maybe her dad had high moral standards and that's why she was so lonely in the name of being holy?
