2) Marina Lima was known by the name Marina in the start of her career in 1980's. Since 90's she has used her full name, Marina Lima. Lima is a Brazilian rock singer.
Starting her career before Brazilian rock of the '80s was commercially ripe, Marina Lima witnessed its creation from a privileged standpoint and participated in it as a successful pop star since 1984. Her most regular partner has been her brother, philosopher Antônio Cícero. Her biggest hits are "Fullgás" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "À Francesa" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "Pra Começar" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "Nada Por Mim" (Herbert Viana/Paula Toller), "Eu Te Amo Você" (Kiko Zambianchi), "Ainda É Cedo," "Não Sei Dançar," and "Uma Noite e Meia." Her eclectic repertory features rock-tinged pop-dance music, blues, bossa nova, a typical samba-canção melancholy, and a very tiny pinch of jazz.
From five to 12, she lived in the U.S. where her father worked, and was taught to read in English before Portuguese. Attracted to psychoanalysis and music, Marina Lima (just Marina by then; she added her surname to her stage name in the '90s) started to write songs, opting for making a living in this career when Gal Costa recorded her "Meu Doce Amor" in 1977. The next year she formed a band that had a drummer who would be connected with the creation and the development of the Brazilian rock of the '80s, Lobão. Ricardo Barreto (guitar), Guto Barros (guitar), Zé Luís (sax), and Junno Homrich (bass) would also participate in that historic moment (they later became musicians of the seminal Brazilian rock band Blitz) as they were also in her band before the new genre took Brazil. Marina's first solo album, Simples Como Fogo (1979), already brought originals in the pop/rock style that would become mainstream in the next decade. But her first hit came in 1984, with "Fullgás," which had success with the title track "Me Chama" (Lobão) and "Mesmo que Seja Eu" (Roberto Carlos/Erasmo Carlos, here having its meaning altered as a confession of her bisexuality). Three years later, she appeared in the film Rádio Pirata (Lael Rodrigues) singing the main theme, which she also composed. With 15 albums released in Brazil as 2000, others were launched especially for the American market and dominated a period in which anxiety provoked a loss of voice; Marina Lima is one of the biggest divas of Brazilian rock.
3) Marina Luchenko-Szczesna (Polish: Marina Łuczenko-Szczęsna; Ukrainian: Марина Лученко–Ще́нсний; born 3 July 1989), known mononymously as Marina (stylized as MaRina), is a Ukrainian-Polish singer-songwriter and actress.
4) Marina Vénache, known as Marina on stage, is a French singer born on October 30, 1985. She started her career in the sixth season of the TV show "Star Academy" in 2006.
5) Marina Marqueza (currently using the name Marqueza) is a non-binary Japanese-Venezuelan artist, singer, and producer based in Salt Lake City, Utah making genre-fluid music from the bottom of their heart. They want to see the Salt Lake City art scene become more radically inclusive of the diversity of talent that already exists, and they put that intentionality behind every event they agree or refuse to be a part of. Marina loves Existimos, Patty and Graciela, and she wants to perform a set that is affirming and healing from their place as a queer person of color. Her debut album, Orbit Pluto, was released on January 1, 2019.
6) Marina, a Czech metalcore band from Prague.
7) Marina Nakamura(中村 真里奈, Nakamura Marina, born February 7, 1987) is a Japanese singer and songwriter from Miyazaki who is signed to 5pb. Marina debuted in 2010 singing songs for the anime television series Angel Beats! as one of two vocalists for the fictional band Girls Dead Monster. In May 2013, she made her major solo debut with the release of her single "Kimi Tsunagu".

I'm a strawberry soda, raise my lashes to heaven
Stars in my hair running like a waterfall
Clouds in the whites of our eyes, we saw it all
Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch
Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch
Mother nature's dying, nobody's keepin' score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
Anymore
Marilyn's bungalow, it's number seven
In the pink palace where men made her legend
Owned by a sheik who killed thousands of gay men
I guess that's why he bought the campest hotel in LA then
Mother nature's dying, nobody's keepin' score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
If you have a mother
Daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time
Time you comprehend
The world that you live in
Ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me
For not bein' a man
Spring appears when the time is right
Women are violets coming to light
Don't underestimate the makin' of life
The planet has a funny way of stoppin' a fight
Mother nature's dying, nobody's keepin' score
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore
If you have a mother
Daughter or a friend
Maybe it is time
Time you comprehend
The world that you live in
Ain't the same one as them
So don't punish me
'Cause I'm not a man
So don't punish me
'Cause I'm not a man
'Cause I'm not a man
Marina's song "Man's World" is a powerful commentary on gender inequality and the damage humans have inflicted on the environment. The lyrics start with a description of the female narrator's physical appearance, comparing it to a cherub and a strawberry soda, before moving into more substantial issues. The line "Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch / Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch" references the historical persecution of women who were deemed too powerful or independent. Marina is lamenting that while the methods of enforcing gender roles may have changed since then, the consequences of stepping outside of them still exist.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore" which refers to the patriarchal nature of society where women have been oppressed and discriminated against due to their gender. The examples Marina provides in the lyrics highlight how difficult it is for women to exist and thrive in such a world. The second verse mentions a bungalow where Marilyn Monroe lived and how it was owned by a sheik who had an atrocious record concerning gay men. This highlights the issue of the powerful, primarily men, using their resources to maintain a certain image, while simultaneously perpetuating violence and intolerance to those unlike them.
The final verse brings together the themes of gender inequality and environmentalism. The imagery evokes the idea that progress and growth can only happen if humanity recognizes the contributions of women and begins to live in harmony with the planet. Matching this with the repeated chorus "I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore" drives the message home that change is needed on a fundamental level to create a more equitable and sustainable future.
