I remember the first time I heard this song, I could relate to it line-for-line.
My friend and I always used to joke that she was the "Diva" and I was the "Prima Donna," the difference being that she, the Diva, didn't want to work for adoration, while I, the Prima Donna, had worked my whole life to be in the spotlight.
I realize that Marina Diamandis wrote this song to be the opposite of her, but she really did a good job of describing the prima donna life and mentality- you work your whole life for the crown or the starring role, and you live for fame and adoration. While the Prima Donna may come off as indestructibly glamorous, however, most are sad and feel as though they have a void inside.
To sum up my long-winded comment, I can relate to this song because I feel an all-consuming need for the spotlight. Being a Prima Donna isn't a bad thing- it's just a way of life.
