The lyrics of Marina and the Diamonds's song Hollywood are about the desire to live a glamorous and adventurous life in Los Angeles. The title itself references the iconic district of Hollywood, known worldwide as the heart of the American film industry. The song opens with the invitation to spend "just one night game" where the singer is willing to risk everything, including her heart, for the promise of a luxurious and exciting experience.
The lyrics continue describing the city's streets and its dry air filled with the scent of "dry coke." The singer is willing to embrace this alluring yet risky lifestyle, indicated by the lyrics, "Let's fall in love dangerously." The chorus repeats the urgency of the moment and emphasizes the temporary nature of her stay in Los Angeles. The verse "Memories have long since faded away" implies that this night of glamour and excitement is fleeting and that it will be impossible to retrieve it.

Okay I came back December 2021 😭 this is my most prized accomplishment I am so in love with everyone who replied to this 🙏
@paulanji
one thing i love about the family jewels is how marina almost never mentions love (at least not romantic/sexual love).
the majority of music today, both alternative and mainstream, is lyrically about love and it gets kinda tiring after a while. like, there are other things in life to talk about too!
that's why the family jewels is such a breath of fresh air that gets better with time, like a fine wine. marina manages to make one of the most interesting pop albums of all time without mentioning love or dating much. in fact, hermit the frog is likely the only track with that lyrical theme.
on the album, she writes about:
~ life philosophy, personal fulfillment and following your dreams (ARE YOU SATISFIED?)
~ alcoholism as a coping mechanism (SHAMPAIN)
~ mental health & vulnerability, emotions and the inherent irrationality of being human
(I AM NOT A ROBOT)
~ social issues, internalized misogyny and toxic beauty standards for women (GIRLS)
~ being confused about what to do in your life and feeling pressure from the people in your life to act a certain way (MOWGLI'S ROAD)
~ intrusive thoughts and mental illness (OBSESSIONS)
~ fame and the glorification of american culture (HOLLYWOOD)
~ introversion, delinquency and feeling uncomfortable in social situations (THE OUTSIDER)
~ dysfunctional familial interpersonal relationships
(GUILTY, SEVENTEEN, THE FAMILY JEWELS)
~ feeling like you don't belong anywhere or that you don't have a home (ROOTLESS)
~ how capitalism and consumerism affect the millenial generation and being an overachiever/gifted kid who never feels happy due to feeling like they aren't good/successful enough (OH NO!)
~ depression, chronic loneliness and sadness (NUMB)

@@thewanderer6196 okay, i admit the main reason why i put capitalism isn't really because of the song itself, but more because of the music video, which does caricaturize consumer culture.
but there's also something about the lyric:
"if you are not very careful, your possessions will possess you."
i'm pretty new to politics & economics, but i think there might be a interpretation of that lyric that has to do with materialism? not sure if historical or dialectical.
i don't think marina wrote the song with capitalism in mind (i think she said she wrote it while doubting her own longevity as an artist and feeling like she was bound to be a failure forever), but subconsciously, some people might interpret a message there.
see, that's the beauty of art. there's (almost) never one objective interpretation. it can be looked at from many angles, depending on the observer and their inner being.

Lyrics:
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream
She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned hot blonde called Anya
I asked her 'Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?'
'Because I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine'
I'll do anything for a dime
Looking for the golden lie
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I fight security making plays for me
As soon as I touch down in old LA, he said,
Oh my god, you look just like Shakira
No no, you're Catherine Zeta
Actually, my name's Marina
Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
You're looking for the golden lie
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, I'm living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanna kissing in the rain
Oh oh, I'm living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
