Electra Heart is the girl you run into in the supermarket wearing a faux fur coat and sunglasses, leisurely picking through the avocado. Her cart is filled with champagne and strawberries and she doesn’t even care that you’ve been staring at her from the bakery aisle. She’s angsty, and you can tell that her phone conversation didn’t end well by the way she dramatically dropped her phone and wiped a solitary tear from her cheek. The same cheek that has a eyeliner-drawn heart on it.

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Millions of girls float on their one quote
Living on their last hope, on their last hope
I live my life inside a dream
Only waking when I sleep
I would sell my sorry soul if I could have it all
[Pre-Chorus]
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
All I really want is to be wonderful
People in this town they, they can be so cruel
I live my life inside a dream
Only waking when I sleep
If I could sell my sorry soul, I would have it all
[Pre-Chorus]
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
My life is a play, is a play, is a play
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
If only you knew my dear
How I live my life in fear
If only you knew my dear
How I know my time is near
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
My life is a play, is a play, is a play

Marina Diamandis, the most underrated pop artist of this generation.

[@blob7232]

Ever heard of Banks?

[@miguelmonroy6123]

[@smile-sq7pt]

Yea, no. She may be good. No doubt about that. But in no ways is she underrated

[@ulayla1605]

I CAN'T CHOOSE A NAME!!! Umm she is underrated. What are u talking about? Compared to lana del rey she has way less following, it’s sad. She’s such a good artist and people follow HALSEY AND BILLIE EYELASH. It's annoying

[@smile-sq7pt]

​ Lxxrt She may not be very popular, however, she has hit the charts at least once. She also has 1.4 million people who are subbed to her on YT. Yeah, other people, whose music is worst(in your opinion) are more popular. That is very true. However, there are a ton of artists that are very similar to her or make good music(in my opinion) who barely get a few 100K views. Some people even get less than 10K views. Those people are underrated. She deserves to be more popular, yeah I agree. But she is nowhere as underrated as those people.

[@IraSingh]

Dilay Cagliyan I read this in an interview - In 2013, the singertold a Canadian newspaperthat 679 Recordings was"bankrupt" and had "no money", after she insisted on shooting 11 videos for her second album, Electra Heart."I made a joke because I have a terrible sense of humour," she explains. "It wasn't true, but it's followed me for so long."In fact, the singer says her balance sheet is "really good"."I sold three million singles on Electra Heart so that's got to be going somewhere," she laughs. "I'm not that expensive an artist."

[@ChicaneTheUnicornOmg]

IKR she deserves more popularity she actually makes meaningful songs unlike most artists

[@darianrollins7755]

Yes.

[@Lydario]

"most artists" is a great disservice to music. It comes from a position of "my taste is underprivileged". True she's a rockstar for her talents, but the music we see is barely considered popular. WHat you're getting at is the music industry. Music designed to sell. There was an awesome video discussing the topic. I'm kind of arguing an issue of vernacular, but most music is small groups trying and failing to make a name for themselves. What you're referring to is most music we see on the radio and television... and vevo. Here's the video! watch?v=EoovlwC4N4A

[@derptriesmc]

Manic 8-Ball Can we just enjoy the song rather than sexualize the artist?

[@420WILD]

Sam // Shinœ she did that to herself, by design.

[@irlseraph]

I don't think they are trying to sexualize her. It's a compliment and it could have been more vulgar. Its a compliment. Even though I would rather have her gender/ sexuality to not be apart of it but it's human nature to admire people. You probably won't agree we me but, I thought id voice my opinion since that is what the comments are for... HAVE A NICE WEEKEND EVERYONE!! ^U^

[@CharlieTheCherry]

Yeah, it could be that too ! It reminds me of like of deep romantic love and happiness but it's hard to explain because people associate happiness to major chords (usually) and I think the truest kind of happiness is expressed through minor chords (do you get me ? x))

[@tylerkupcho18]

TurtleNinjaX Really? I've never heard of this idea for anything once.

[@hypertailsx2]

Tyler Kupcho Have you ever read a fan theory? look it up it's VERY common

[@xxRealnessxx]

Here’s my break down of Electra Heart parts1-11. Your interpretation might be different than mine but this is just my opinion.. She decided she didn’t want to live her life with fear and hate. In part 1 fear and loathing, she’s seen cutting her dark hair. Then she gets the blonde wig and falls in part 2 radioactive trying to live a different life style. In part 3: archetypes, she talks about who she’s going to be, a totally different person living a life style not fear and loathing. Part 4 Primadonna girl, she’s going to be the girl who wants it all, boys, clothes- everything is a new lifestyle to the electra heart persona. She also has blonde hair but her roots are dark in part 3-5 which to me translates into how she wants people to see on the outside she’s this certain person whose trying to live this in love, trophy wife, lavish life, life style (the blonde ends) but inside of her, she’s still in fear and loathing (her dark hair roots) In, Part 5: Su-barbie-a she bored of being in love and being a little housewife. Then skipping to part 6, Power and Control, she’s trying to regain power and control in her life, she’s sick of giving all of her self and not really getting much from him. (note how in this video her roots are growing out a lot, the darkness creeping back up on her.) Part 7 her old self is coming back, she’s being a heart breaker and not giving a fuck anymore. & She’ll teach you how to do it too. (her hair is completely dark, her old self has returned, and her style in this is so dark themed like fear and loathing) Part 8: E.V.O.L she’s recovering from trying to change up her persona. She’s back in fear and loathing mode, but telling the story of how love fucked her up when she was trying to live a different life style. Then Part 9: State of Dreaming is completely back to her old ways. When she was trying to change her self in part 2-5 was her state of dreaming. Bringing up her heart break and how silly she was to try to fall inlove and live differently comes Part 10: Lies. She can’t be the primadonna house wife for him because it’s just not her, hence the whole, “No i’m not the type that you like.. why don’t we just pretend.” She just can’t believe this didn’t work. Finally part 11: Electra Heart, she wants to just go back and try again. But she knows the darkness in her will always shine through the fairy style life style she tried living. Who she really is, the fear.. the darkness is just something she can’t get rid of.

[@evydori6133]

Loviee A. I really like this theory, but I think her dark hair symbolizes not fear and hate, but her old self, which carries along fear and loathing. And yes, I know this comment was posted 5 years ago.

[@Esau2hu]

Back again to heal. Let us leave this cycle already

[@tomislaw85]

Sorry for my bad English, I am not a native speaker but I wanted to share my opinion on this track. Somehow, I feel Marina sings about our everyday state of mind in which we are driven by a need to be likebale, wanted, successful but we are missing the true nature of us as human beings. Most of us are living in a dream and would "sell our sorry soul" for these down to Earth things like fame and material things because we think those kind of things will bring us happiness and fullfilment when actually we need so much more love and compassion to be fullfiled human beings. I feel like Marina has invented this whole Electra Heart alter ego just to reach more people with her message. Because being more commercial makes you easier to reach more people and that's what she did with that album before going back to what she really actually is on FROOT. You could say Electra Heart was in a way a sort of sacrifise Marina did. Now she has the possiblity to reach people whose eye she cought with Electra Heart and who might follow her work now as well. As a human, she can't do much to help people to open their eyes, wake up from the "state of dreaming" and see which things actually matter in life, but she sings from her heart and only hopes that her message will reach at least someone's heart. She knows "her time is near" and that frightens her in a way, as life actually is compeletely inpredictable and you can die in a second (she is aware of that fact and wants you to be aware of it too) so you shouldn't take it for granted and spend it living chasing material things. She even says that her life is a play, and if you think about it (I think Shakespeare also said that), life is nothing more than a play in a way, don't take it too seriously because it'll end up one day and it won't matter how much money have you accumulated or how many diplomas you have on your wall, but it will matter if you have done something to help other people on their journey of self-realization in life. Maybe this sounds really trashy and new-agey, but I feel it that way. Just my two cents. :)

Jackson Catlett Pretty sure that was also the same place Florence And The Machine filmed the video for Shake It Out.

[@stephenfiora9063]

I think this song is where Marina is most present instead of Electra. you even see the heart fade for a few seconds and Marina sadly grins at the camera, while church bells ring in the background. She's like, yeah, electras gonna die soon.

[@juwy0116]

she looks absolutely gorgeous with the soft lighting at the beginning, she looks so dreamy and it fits this song perfectly. i remember being so obsessed with her when i was younger and now i'm coming back to her :p

[@mh294m]

She's so underrated! F**k society...

[@nishwarlock6972]

She's a gem

[@zarazenegal2139]

I just realised the Froot video is quite similiar to this!

[@nikhildighe4576]

True! But the meanings of the songs are nearly opposites.

[@zarazenegal2139]

Jeoff Anderson Yeah! I love both of them!

[@CalvinFry]

Nikhil Dighe OOOH Thats probably the point... :O :) xx

[@nikhildighe4576]

Calvin Fry Probably!

[@KidLuxray]

+ZaraZenegal Not really though.

[@sofasugarmaple]

Marina doesn't even know I exist But she's saved my life so many times

[@diegoxxx15100]

I just believe in my world, in my State of dreaming where I can do anything and I can be anyone that I want, where everything that I can Imagine makes real, where nobody can hurt me, I live in my state of dreaming and this is my reality

[@xxhpshrebyba]

+Diego Germanotta t-t-tht was bootiful 10/10 can i use this lmao

[@Mipiacecantarelala]

My favourite song of the album

[@raniauwu7068]

[@pkimball5121]

Me listening to this after a full day of dissociating 😀

[@cerseiuwu7031]

For all of us who suffer from maladaptive daydreaming thats an anthem

[@universechildjac888]

I looked it up lmao I def have it wow

[@roey7813]

when she starts saying "if I only know my dear" it's really hits different

[@urf4vmelstan]

MARINA WILL RELEASE NEW SONG SOON❤❤WE NEED TO STREAM IT WHEN IT COMES OUT

[@ezravldina3467]

When ?

[@christospolydorou598]

When she sings ALL I REALLY WANT / IS TO BE WONDERFUL it gives me goosebumps because no one in music has expressed such a simple need so directly.

[@indigolynn4192]

Yes!!

[@licsyh]

She's so gorgeous 😭😭

[@morgansites5763]

I’m just feelin nostalgic

[@anaira2090]

im a simple bitch. i hear the beginning piano and I start sobbing

[@Eodneisjsoansdwians]

me a maldaptive daydreamer: IVE BEEN LIVING IN THE STATE OF DREAMINGGGGG

[@charbelvanille]

am I the only one who feels a hole in the stomach listening this song, like some nostalgic shivers

[@kittygrimm7301]

I know Marina's generally beautiful, but in that gown...ugh! Stunning!

[@ElieIsOk]

This is one of the most underrated songs in Electra Heart. Why isn’t it more popular???

[@victorianader1130]

shes so beautiful in this i literally feel shy watching

[@xweetokfairy]

This song is too relateable.

[@markomakela2360]

Somehow the Electra Heart album with this concept form touched so many... Sometimes certain things just happen at same time. I can't explain it better than that..

[@CharlieTheCherry]

2:20 my favorite part of the song :')

[@XanHet95]

Amazing part !

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Same omg

[@Skyrimkid9800]

This song is trippy and awesome at the same........and an extremely beautiful singer.

[@francescograniero5628]

November 13, 2012 - November 13, 2022. The State of Dreaming video was shot 10 years ago. Marina's song that at it first listening changed me forever, because I really feel it mine in an unconditional way... because it somehow describes everything I've spent in my life. And thanks to the official video, the song has completely taken shape. I will always be grateful to Marina and her wonderful music for making me reborn.

[@aurum1852]

Okay but the shivers I get with 'my life is play'

[@therealbologna2]

Queen of raising her arms up in the air

[@Vitorfeitosa1]

"If only you knew my dear, how I live my life in fear"

[@torivega1135]

7 years since Electra died today. R.I.P our Beauty Queen ❤️

[@oliviahesson8927]

So perfect. Oh, and for the people who think it's impossible to love both mainstream artists like Taylor Swift and unique artists like Marina, you are wrong. I'm tired of being told that I can't love both areas. I'm both a Swiftie and a Diamond

[@galesabolinho8121]

I think Taylor's songs are pretty good.

[@erickgrams]

There's no problem about that. I love Marina, Lana, Taylor, Florence, and also Oasis music. And yeah it's kind of weird bc they're very different but who cares? They all have pretty good lyrics and rythms:)

[@KidLuxray]

Marina is my absolute queen and idol, but i can get down to Bad Blood sometimes ;)

[@marisabritt8683]

Funny how no one was a swifter until she went pop for more fans 😁

[@Clara123453]

It happens the same to me I like Taylor, Marina, Lana, FOB and bands like that and they only now them by name and think they're rubbish and look at me weirdly, I know it's bizarre but the playlists that you can make are amazing so I don't really care

[@alysaloha]

I used to see this as a really sad song cause I'm a pretty depressing person and turn everything into sadness, but then like. Whenever I do my quizzes or tests online for my college classes I always listen to Marina and just listen to what it takes me to on auto-play. And every time I finish them I turn it in and I get that wave of relief that everyone gets. and ever since I've found this song, I've counted at least 5 times this has come on just as I touched the 'send quiz' button. I'm just like trap dancing cause I'm so happy. And now I worship this song (and of course Marina). I just finished a hard quiz and this made me even happier because now I don't see this song as depressing.

[@electraheart8936]

She's so perfect, pretty and hot

[@em3157]

IS ANYONE ELSE SO HAPPY THAT MARINA AND LANA ARE FRIENDS?????????????????????

[@LuzMaria95]

Emson YES, ME!

[@dk3671]

I love the change in mood in this song, how it starts out quite sad, changes to an almost cheery funeral kind of theme and then goes back down again at the end, it just matches the lyrics perfectly ' how I know my time is near' says it all really, the whole Archetypes are set out perfectly from becoming Electra Heart and thriving as her and eventually decreasing the heart of her cheek until the death of Electra Heart where Marina comes out of that era. I love it.

[@baoquang4640]

I should have noticed the foreshadowing from "Primadonna": "Live the life like I'm In a dream" -> "Yeah I'm living in the state of dreaming" "Live the life like I'm In a play" -> "My life is a play"

[@CelestalMeme]

I actually wish Electra Heart's life was a play now 😢

[@mercuryasmr333]

the chorus always puts me in funk mode

[@xivonochabalala]

I can't believe i first heard this song on a dress up game 😭

[@nyx8103]

"if you only knew my dear how I live my life in fear. If you only knew my dear how I know my time is near." That line hits hard. It is also perfectly consistent storytelling for the Electra Heart character.

[@sabrinahernandez187]

One of my favorite marina songs💖💖

[@pattid4373]

fellow crybaby???

[@Deus589]

Durham KC the way both of your profile pictures are set up is really funny
