| Marina and the Diamonds – Sex Yeah Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is partially about feminism as well as our Generation and how they are they are corrupted and given early hints about sex at a way to early age. Also Gender role and bias but I think more of the first two ideas than anything else. My break down intepretation of Sex Yeah. Nothing is provocative anymore Even for kids No room for imagining 'Cause everyone's seen everything (I think this speaks for itself of how children in a regular movie find a sex scene or hinted sex scene appear somewhere and it's nothing for them anymore but if we would go back a couple years/decades this would be greatly frowned upon as well as with some 12-15 year olds already watching pornographic movies on their computers) Question what the tv tells you Question what a pop star sells you (this part always left me a bit confused, I think what Marina meant is that don't think that it's a one time thing and then nothing happens, because there are consequences and don't think that the average popstar spends there whole day having sex and partying) Question mom and question dad Question good and question bad (I think the 'question mom and question dad' part means to ask your parents about sex and not to rely on society to tell you about what sex is, This part 'Question good/bad' I am actually pretty stumped here but maybe she meant to question the good and bad influences.) If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be) ((Here she means that history has pinned and degraded a woman and has forced them to be objectified by men and how we really aren't allowed to be ourselves, plus our pasts we weren't allowed to be superior of men today it's socially unacceptable but we are trying to change that) If sex in our society (didn't tell a girl who she would be) 'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me (Sex in our society tells girls to be that perfect mom/housewife and to always be tidy and appealing to the males eyes, and girls are buying it and no I'm not saying that women should be looking homeless but they shouldn't be looking like street whores either, and feminist are trying to fight against the harsh history of women to make all beings equal) If women were religiously Recognized sexually We wouldn't have to feel the need to show our ass, It's to feel free ( I think here she means if religion/or society were already recognizing the gender sexual they didn't need to show their a*s but I might get this wrong but I think they do this to feel free? I am pretty sure thats wrong so someone correct me on that.) Been there, done that Got the t-shirt Sold my soul And yeah the truth hurts (I am also pretty stumped here but if I think it means that they done this and that and have sold their soul to society though the truth hurts, Correct me if I'm wrong) Tired image of a star Acting naughtier than we really are (She's tired of the act stars pull of living the sexual life and always being naughtier than what they really are) If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be) ((Already explained)) If sex in our society (didn't tell a guy who he should be) (A man never experiences the same objectification as women and if a women tries to stand up for herself and self worth she is instantly a bit*h) 'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me (Already explained) All my life I've felt it deep inside of me (I think she means the feeling against the thoughts of society and how she knew it was wrong or... of something else which is totally unrelated.) All this time was fighting for what I believe (She has always been fighting for her rights and for her beliefs and not going along with society) All my life I've tried to hide what history has given me ( I think she means ignore what history has given her and all the objectification women receive already.) If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be) If sex in our society (didn't tell a guy who he should be) 'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me (Already explained) Then I could be totally wrong I like to voice me thoughts every now and then. |

| Marina and the Diamonds – The State of Dreaming Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song is said by Marina to be about Marilyn Monroe and how she sees the world now and while living. So I will break my interpretation down to each lyric. Millions of girls float on their one quote (here she speaks of Marilyn's several quotes such as : "It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone") Living on their last hope, on their last hope (Here I am not entirely sure what she meant but I think it's how most girls are insecure about themselves and depressed as well) I live my life inside a dream Only waking when I sleep (Here she "lives" as if she were in heaven and when she sleeps all the bad memories/thoughts and nightmares returns, because lets face it she was a troubled woman) I would sell my sorry soul, if I could have it all (she didn't have it all as in she didn't have all the emotional possessions she wished to have) My life is a play, is a play, is a play My life is a play, is a play, is a play (All of her actions and feelings that she displayed were all false and she acted as she was completely fine when she wasn't) Yeah I’ve been living in the state of dreaming living in a make-believe land living in the state of dreaming, of dreaming, of dreaming (She lives as if she were in a dream and nothing of the outside world interfered) All I really want is to be wonderful (I think here she meant the she didn't really feel wonderful from all the troubles in her life) People in this town they, they can be so cruel (I really wouldn't know what this means maybe harsh judgement from men/press, she was alive in a time where women were objectified -although to this day they still are- ) I live my life inside a dream, only waking when I sleep If I could sell my sorry soul, I would have it all My life is a play, is a play, is a play My life is a play, is a play, is a play Yeah I’ve been living in the state of dreaming living in a make-believe land living in the state of dreaming, of dreaming, of dreaming(I already covered this) If only you knew my dear, How I live my life in fear (Right here I think she is talking to someone she loved/or a family member of how she is fearing the judgement and how she is fearing the objectification and if people did find out it was a play. After all she was a major sex symbol) If only you knew my dear, How I know my time is near (She was planning her suicide and already knew when it was going to happen -even though some rumor her death was because of a overdose-) Yeah I’ve been living in the state of dreaming living in a make-believe land living in the state of dreaming, of dreaming, of dreaming living in the state of dreaming living in a make-believe land living in the state of dreaming, of dreaming, of dreaming My life is a play, is a play, is a play (Already Covered that) What do I know though, I think this would be wrong but hey this is just me and my thoughts. Still this is another masterpiece by Marina Lambrini Diamindis |

Oh I got a bottle full of liquor with a cocaine Kicker and I'm feeling like I'm thirty feet tall So lay it down, lay it down (He had a hefty amount of liquor/drugs thus him feeling of him feeling "30 FT tall") You got your legs up in the sky with the devil in your eyes Let me hear you say you want it all Say it now, say it now (Self explanatory her eyes are full of lust and well her legs are probably wrapped around his neck.) Look what you doing, look what you done But in this jungle you can't run 'Cause what I got for you I promise is a killer, you'll be banging on my chest Bang bang, gorilla (He is being the dominate one and is promising her for 'killer sex') You and me baby making love like gorillas You and me baby making love like gorillas (self explanatory just look up gorillas mating) Yeah I got a fistful of your hair But you don't look like you're scared You're just smiling tell me daddy it's yours (She's acting naughty for his own self pleasure) 'Cause you know how I like it use a dirty little lover If the neighbors call the cops, call the sheriff Call the swat we don't stop We keep rocking while they knocking on our door And you're screaming give it to me baby Give it to me motherfucker (He means their going to be making a lot of noise and they don't care about the disturbance of their neighbors) Oh look what you doing, look what you done But in this jungle you can't run 'Cause what I got for you I promise is a killer, you'll be banging on my chest Bang bang, gorilla You and me baby making love like gorillas You and me baby making love like gorillas I bet you never ever felt so good, so good I got your body trembling like it should, it should You'll never be the same baby once I'm done with you (This is his point of view watching the woman having an orgasam) Oh you with me baby making love like gorillas You and me baby we'll be fuckin' it like gorillas You and me baby making love like gorillas Very self explanatory song. Two lovers/ or whatever they may be/ making love to eachother I don't honestly think it needs a explanation does it :) |
