Dude. Marina gets it. “I am not my body, not my mind or my brain. I am not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA.” She recognizes that *everything* we perceive, in its totality, is pure consciousness. We are witnesses to life. We are not our ego, we are not our body, we are pure consciousness observing a life in this specific reality.

[@dis_appointed8626]

[@markomakela2360]

The 'base reality' is still very debatable even among top scientists. If you can enlighten them, be my quest.

[@dr.shuppet5452]

She doesn't say that we are pure consciousness. What is "pure consciousness" anyway, and why look for the ego there and not somewhere else?

[@givipantsulaya6881]

Who said advaita vedanta?🙃

[@chiripaxa]

@@dr.shuppet5452 I think they were using pure consciousness as a way to state that if you take away everything else, ego, body, environment even, then you are only conciousness. So they were just saying that if Marina sings that "I am not my body, not my mind or my brain." She's implying that deeper than these things exists 'pure' conciousness. If that makes sense. I think this comment is just made to entertain the thought that we should not fixate too much on things we can't control body, dna etc. But to continue witnessing life with our conciousness.

"you are not here to conform". this should be basically carved into every single educational building with huge letters and kids from earliest possible age should be made to understand it. love this song so much, it also fits my idea of what being "yourself" truly means, a witness, an observer. you are not someone who is making decisions or someone who is in charge of their life, but you are something that knows it exists and simply experiences reality exactly the same way your brain perceives it. fascinating.

(02:27) From the Heart of Malaysia, to the dark Himalayas¬ I'm from KL, Malaysia and Marina's lyrics are spot on. South East Asia was mainly colony territories of farmlands just a generation ago. in a short few decades ancient dreams have been built over by modern land. You can think of Bali or Singapore too.

Being an INTJ her songs are just the thoughts that goes in my mind and the work she has to do in order to present introverted intuition 'Ni' to the world with the help of her songs is just lit. Her songs scream heavy 'Ni'!

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Yes, INTJ personalities often look for ways to express their deep thoughts and insights, and music can be a powerful outlet for this. Taylor Swift, being an INTJ herself, has a talent for translating her inner thoughts and feelings into catchy and relatable songs that resonate with a wide audience. Her ability to share her introspective and intuitive perspective through her music is a testament to the power of introverted intuition in artistic expression.

[@THE______TRUTH]

Marinas getting into some deep philosophical shit here. This song seems like it's talking about enlightenment. She's taking a look inside herself and understands that the ego does not exist and that all you can identify with is the observer. I'm not my body or my mind or my brain and I'm not my feelings or my thoughts or DNA. Marina seems to understand material body is disconnected from her sense of identity and being. Where are you located within your body, it's hard to locate yourself because....you don't really exist. You're just a cluster of cells that created an identity within itself. The "I" of the "storm", possibly referring to her final conclusion that perhaps she is the all encompassing witness to existence. That is, the universe experiencing itself.

I think this song is about the impending climate crisis. The ancient dream is to have a good life, but now that we have the tech we ruined the earth, and ruin ultimately the goal of our ancestors. “We’re not living in a seminal age, the walls are being broken and we’re ready for change” it’s rooting for us and hopeful we can change things before it’s too late. I think the idea of her saying she is not her body, mind or brain means she is not singing this song or sharing this message as something for herself but as a public service announcement. I think this is a protest song protesting continuing practices that harm the environment.

This song is literally the meaning of life, how did she do that? Dammmn. Humanity has evolved so much it can artistically fit its own purpose in a 3 minutes MV. DAMN. And wow it sounds good. alternative yet very harmonic and easy to listen to. Plus the healing and confident lyrics... Really, she worked it until it was perfect. I'll listen to this with TXT's "Dear Sputnik" because of the "spacial" vibes and comforting lyrics about the worth of living. Thank you MARINA

​@@lopezbill6132 shifting is the act of going to another reality through various methods, you can either shift to a fictional reality or a variation of this reality that fits your ideals, there's many more ways I can explain the topic but it's best to do your own research on the rest of it.

[@lopezbill6132]

@just-like-magick yes there Is nothing wrong with interpretating a song in different ways. My only point is the creator of that song didn't make it for shifting regardless of what your impression is about the song. This song is about spirituality and realizing your true nature which is why she says don't conform to this world and she she tells you her true nature it isn't the brain or her body or thoughts but the observer. She is pretty much saying she knows her deepest self the self that lives on when the body dies. She knows her essence

I love the eye of the storm reference. I feel like it could be seen two ways. 1.) being neutral or at peace despite the chaos surrounding us or 2.) acknowledging the ways in which “peace” is obtained through destruction. This can be referring to the ways in which developing countries must suffer in order to profit wealthy countries.

[@Virgoicon98]

I. Love. This. Comment. Bless you.

[@sabinaia5264]

Personally, it reminds me of a quote by Sam Harris: ,,You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You ARE the storm." It's a quote about the concept of free will (specifically the lack of it). Some people, when they're told they have "no free will", misunderstand what it means. It does not mean you cannot do whatever you want (you can), but you cannot choose What you want, because it's always determined by something, consciously or unconsciously. The way i see the verse in the song, it's like Marina saying that despite being a part of the deterministic system (being the storm), there is a part of you that is separate from all of the existing determiners (DNA, body, environment) - you are simply the observer, you are the eye of the storm. just like everyone else. It's something we all share. Marina didn't have to mean it like that, but that's the way i personally interpret it for myself haha.

[@Ye_Is_The_Way]

No it's a Fortnite reference 🙂

[@Shendelzare1]

I understand "i can be the eye of the storm" as "i can control my own life even if the whole world around me is mess, my soul is mine own and i can achieve the power to fulfill what i want trough self work and evolution".The eye of the storm herself taking control of her own life.

my first time listening, very impressed. I find it funny that there's English subtitles for an English song .... sung perfectly, with perfect diction throughout; yet someone in her camp decides that English subtitles were needed to promote in such a way. Marina is a pleasure to discover for sure, she has such an obviously blessed talent for singing. I'm tagging her now because I have to hear more. There's definitley parts where the phrasing makes me recall Britney's "Womanizer" but this song far exceeds that ..... I love it and will be listening more I know.
