COOOK 76,406 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 No shade to artists who previously claimed woke pop and what that means to them. Marina's lyrics make you think and question the system in a beautiful and meaningful way, and it goes back to The Family Jewels, but this entire album... worth the listen. This is what I consider woke pop to be. Listen, read the lyrics, and stream it. Some receipts.: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame Goo Goo 3,843 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Purge The Poison is one of the worst songs of 2021 and you can't change my mind (ironically Man's World was one of the best of 2020) Lady Gaga doesn't owe us anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfume 8,801 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 that album suffered immensely from the “woke” it was trying to present an angel held me like a child Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALGAYDO 32,443 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The thing I really like about Marina is that she isn’t super IN YOUR FACE about it, like so many other artist are, which makes them seem fake. But with her, it feels natural and not forced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with her, it feels natural and not forced. "All my friends are witches and we live in Hollywood Mystical bitches making our own sisterhood While society is falling, we are quietly reforming Protecting the planet, healing our own damage Quarantined all alone, Mother Nature's on the phone "What have you been doing? Don't forget I am your home Virus come, fires burn until human beings learn From every disaster, you are not my master" Need to purge the poison, show us our humanity All the bad and good, racism and misogyny Nothing's hidden anymore, capitalism made us poor God, forgive America for every single war Need to purge the poison from my system Until human beings listen Tell me, who do you think you are? It's your own decision But your home is now your prison You forgot that, without me, you won't go far Need to purge the poison from my system Until human beings listen Tell me who do you think you are? 2007 when size zero was the rage Britney shaved her head and All we did was call her crazed Harvey Weinstein's gone to jail Me Too went on to unveil Truth and all its glory The ending of a story It's a new world order, everything just falls away Our life as we knew it now belongs to yesterday Inside all the love and hate we can now regenerate Stopped how we'd been living every single day Need to purge the poison from my system Until human beings listen Tell me, who do you think you are? It's your own decision But your home is now your prison You forgot that, without me, you won't go far Need to purge the poison from my system Until human beings listen Tell me, who do you think you are? I just want a world where I can see the feminine We only make up one-quarter of the government Like an angel gone to hell Cast the moon under our spell Owning female power, taking back what's ours Earth is like a white rose Quiet cloud of petals fold A place so corrupt where Angel flesh and blood is sold The feminine is born as new Started with a diamond dew Solitude was coming, everybody knew Need to purge the poison from my system Until human beings listen Tell me, who do you think you are? It's your own decision But your home is now your prison You forgot that, without me, you won't go far Need to purge the poison from my system Until human beings listen Tell me, who do you think you are? It's your own decision But your home is now your prison You forgot that, without me, you won't go far" Says hi Lady Gaga doesn't owe us anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,460 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 purge the poison makes me want to say all started with the big bang BAAANGù No offense but she's not that good to me. There's not much rhetoric to it, it's like a bunch of lines we've seen before tied and tossed around. With, sometimes, very familiar backgrounds.

Bio 23,538 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I’d rather have symbolism and poetry, Marina’s songs are too on the nose, kind of questions the intelligence of the listener. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsemanche 93,637 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I loved the album and I LOVE Man's World but it doesn't always work tbh. A couple of the songs (New America and another one, can't remember which) made me cringe. I do like in your face stuff (Sarah Kane is my fav writer for a reason ) and they do work sometimes, but again, not always. Man's World is a good example of a successful one. Overall the album does it well though! That being said, I also love symbolism and metaphors and stuff like that. Bjork does that extremely well for example. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
