This is Electra Heart free from sickness and satire. Bubblegum Bitch is probably the most overtly satirical of the Electra Heart songs. It’s a good song. And if it wasn’t worth your time, you’re wrong. It’s saying the same old shit we’re used to. The steady base of the chorus with the razor-sharp descriptions in the verses make for an incredibly good song. So… you know that whole “vulnerable and empathetic” thing? That’s basically Buy the Stars (unless you’re stupid, in which case Buy the Stars crushes your song). She says “Would you do anything for me, buy a big diamond ring for me?” because she’s also becomes obsessed with the concept that a marriage to a rich man will make her happy. It’s needless exaggeration. Oh, wait, Starring Role. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. It might be the death of Marina. The artist usually uses the character to give their commentary on our society. Speaking of being a trophy wife, Su-Barbie-A is a song that exists. For what it is (complain-y romance pop), it’s really good. It’s brutally dark and it’s proud of it. It takes a critical look at society. While Lana Del Rey’s Character (who is called Carmen) is the tale of a troubled star, and is very interesting (and even includes some literary references) in this post I’m going to focus on Marina and the Diamonds.

Seriously, take five minutes to look up what you’re talking about. It makes a large swathe of music essentially obsolete in theme, because Teen Idle did it better – so much better that the self-deprecating me_irl-style depressed commentary seems hollow and trite in comparison. I could hate the chorus, but I don’t. It could use something more. This song is about how Marina and her husband ruined their marriage by cheating and their love turned Evol (Evil.) It isn’t petty vengeance. Bold move. I think I know what it’s trying to do. That’s what Primadonna is like. 8/10 She cuts her hair in this song as a metaphor of trying to cut away her feelings of hurt. The later songs are the real transcendence songs by showing exactly how she is sick spiritually, mentally, physically, and then showing how she surpasses it. It uses the instrumental of Valley of the Dolls, which enhances both songs with a recurring motif. Let me mend my ways!” It’s almost Biblical in that sense. ( Log Out / By the end of Electra Heart, you could write Marina yourself. I think that this is such an important message. If you watch the music video, this song starts with a Newton’s cradle being started by a woman in a black dress with black hearts on her nails with stark musical cascades over deep, quiet synthetic thrums. F&L tries very hard to be a transcending, evolving, hopeful song. ( Log Out / Does the word “sex” sound weird yet? I know when I say something like that, people will roll their eyes. Fear & Loathing is still good, mind you, but it isn’t as good as people make it out to be. She dyes her hair back to black as a symbol of rebellion. It’s for accuracy.)
