Just Night 100万$分の
Just Night 危険な恋をしようぜ
It's only one night game

浮かれた気分で
ロディオ・ドライブ
ちょいといかした女と
パズルのようなこの街は
乾いたコークの香りさ
ビバリーヒルズの
ビューティ・ハニー
そいつが女のアダ名さ
ロールスロイスでくりだせ
まるで Hollywood Star 気どりで
Just Night 100万$分の
Just Night 危険な恋をしようぜ
It's only one night game

特別にあつらえた
似合いもしないPINKの
タキシードはヨレヨレさ
そんなに笑わないでくれ
パーティ会場にまで
たどりつけるだけ Lucky Man
めかしこんでも無駄だぜ
朝になりゃ
ヌードのピンナっプカール

Overall Meaning

The song "Hollywood" by Marina and the Diamonds is all about the glitz and glamor of the famous city of Hollywood. The lyrics in the song capture the excitement and the danger of getting involved in the Hollywood lifestyle. In the first verse, Marina sings about the night game, which is the dangerous love that she wants to be involved in, just for one night. The verse also talks about the different things that give Hollywood its unique and unforgettable vibe, such as the scent of dry coke and the puzzle-like streets.


The second verse of the song is all about the Hollywood party scene. Marina sings about the fake pink tuxedo that she wears to the party, hoping to fit in with the crowd. Despite her efforts, she knows that it's really all in vain, and that nothing can prepare her for what's to come. She also sings about the memories of that night, which will soon fade away into oblivion, and how all that's left is the dream of getting lost in the city.


Overall, "Hollywood" is a song that captures the essence of the city of dreams, where anything can happen, but nothing is guaranteed to last forever.

@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)



@paulanji

@@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
