Marvel Hill Lyrics

Strange to be on Marvel Hill
I've walked some years to find
I know there is a piece to fill
The gap I have in mind
No, nothing's here, I close my eyes
It's on the other side
And what I've worked so hard to gain
I'd gladly give away

'Cause I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more

A postcard from where life's a thrill
On top of Marvel Hill

But I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more
No, I don't need this
To good to be true
To good to ignore
I don't need this
I need so much more
It's too much to ask for

Some song lyrics need to be interpreted along with the music. This is one of those songs.

Marvel Hill isn't a place, it's more of an achievement for the person in this song. Or at least, they can see that it's supposed to be an achievement, even if they don't feel that way.

Indeed, everything this person has gained, they'd gladly give up for... something more.

Sounds like a famous person, right? Maybe even someone in a relatively obscure Swedish band that just blew up in the US a few years before this? Listen to Nina's droning, exhausted vocals that only pick up when the end of the song is in sight. The plodding, mechanical beat, the sour guitar notes, the angelic chorus backing up Nina in the final verse that almost sounds like it could be suggesting an ascension of some sort. The song also has a few spots where you expect the song to end, only for it to restart that weary march-like beat all over again.

Their success is too good to be true, their fame is too good to ignore, but maybe they didn't get into it for money and fame, and they're wondering now if this is how their career and life has to be.

On the album it's the perfect lead into My Favourite Game.

I wonder if Marvel Hill is an actual place or a safe place tucked back into the mind of the author of the song...?
