[@mentalrebllion1270]

Used this song as part of my inspiration for a dnd character and their relationship with their family. The concept started with the idea of my character being the parentified eldest child and my mind also supplied that the person they feared and felt oppressed by the most was their grandmother, the family matriarch who has a high level of pride and whom the various family members treat with absolute obedience towards. My character however chose to become estranged after all the siblings and first cousins were grown up and gone separate ways to help the family business. My character was more or less left behind and burnt out and bearing the brunt of their grandmother’s, parents’, and aunt and uncle’s disapproval. Also some family politics like throwing each other under the bus too from some of those cousins and siblings as sometimes happens. So this song helped expand some of that part of their dynamic with their family as a whole. Oh, right, and the family is also well off and well connected so there is a lot of networking and stuff like that which further pushes the family status that left my character under a lot of pressure. So my character left. They will eventually be returning in the game which will be an interesting foil as a fellow party member also shares the same hometown and has an entirely different family dynamic which is sweet and heartwarming and healthy even. And that last part is exactly why I think my character will tolerate returning home to their family for a while, so that said party member doesn’t feel like they need to avoid their own sweet family.

[@spiritedwind4908]

This is such a bop, it deserves a music video

[@amiefoster36]

I think this song is about her family especially her dad, I'm sure she doesn't get on with her dad as she sometimes says things about her dad in lyrics of other songs like scab and the plaster an starring role like "you're like my dad you get on well I send my best regards from hell" And there is barley any pictures of her with her family maybe she used music in a way of getting out?? I don't know? There is something about marina I can relate to so many lyrics of her songs

[@mackenzie9021]

It's actually: "you like my dad; you get on well; I send my best regards from hell"

[@cantshakeyoumel]

lol I thought it was ur not my dad

[@gillianpaolella2398]

I think that like with many families there are ups and downs. she once did a call with her dad when he was the hospital to have the audience tell him to feel better.

[@ulayla1605]

Gillian Paolella actually, she had a bad relationship with her dad back then, but just before Froot came out, she genuinely made up with him, and that’s why marina had a meet-up with her father in Greece.

[@RoseWillowstone]

yes, it's evident in her lyrics that she had a rocky relationship with her dad but today i read her thanks for the adiml era and she thanked her dad too and that made me really emotional. i'm glad they've made up

[@ShirshuMusic]

it's sound like a combination of Teen Idle, Oh No And Solitaire.

[@Unknown_Hospitalized_Woman]

"Oh, don't you find it strange? Only thing we share is one last name." That's me and my mother, we have nothing in common except that we share my fathers last name. Ever sence I became 12 I developed a personality that my mother don't agree with. She would call me things that I'm not and let out her anger on me when it's my dad that she is angry at. We don't enjoy the same tv shows, hobbies, anything. Also my mom has a negative feature of her personality that me and my dad call "high horse." Basically what high horse means that my mother acts high and mighty, claiming that she is a better person than me and my dad because we aren't as "companionit" or "kind hearted" as my mother. When in reality she is no better because she has her own flaws and negative personality features

[@biophype]

[@tranqui_lil_ie]

This song reminds me of the fact that my mom doesn't get alone with her family (her parents,sister etc...). Because of this,she consider just me and my father her family,nobody else. Her parents,sister etc...never supported her,she was born just because my aunt wanted a baby sister...and then she started to treat her like shit. And this reminds me of the fights that my grandma and mom had,even they didn't share the last name of course. I hope that I'll be able to create a healthy and Happy family,like I always wanted.

[@vturfieatbr4thrghbe560]

all my life I've been the golden child but in summer 2020-2021 i started "reveling" i went from the golden child to the disappointment of the family. my mother even said that i was now even worse than my sister. (who is gay, does not respect who don't respect her, does what she wants, and wants to change the family)(my family is very homophobic and we r consider to be the perfect family. by perfect i mean actually perfect, we are wealthy, every kid is "perfect" and we have loving christian parents) during that time i use to love this song as i related so much to it. i'm now again the golden child bc i realized that i just cant make it on my own or maybe that's what my mother made me believe. when i now listens to this song i cry as i wanted to end the family cycle so badly but i couldn't bc it was my life or end the family cycle. i know that my sister listens to this song as she can 100% relate to it and its weird as i wish i could relate to it but i cant.

How this couldn't make it on the album? That's crazy.

[@widM_]

People who don't have an iTunes and bought the original CD at the store will not agree with you. No, iTunes bonus track is not technically a part of album. It's a BONUS which can only be found on iTUNES. For every album is known what is an official standard version and what is a Itunes bonus, Deluxe edition, Japanese edition, Target edition, Spotify edition, Fnac edition, etc,... and this track is not on official album.

[@widM_]

Bonus is basically being leftover which didn't find the place on standard edition. And Im saying how crazy it is that the song, which is titled the same as the album and is incredibly good and could be first song on the album, didn't find the place on the standard edition that everyone could hear it.
