Purge the Poison
Marina Lyrics

All my friends are witches and we live in Hollywood
My friends and I are unique and mystical, living in a place known for shallow and superficial ways.

Mystical bitches making our own sisterhood
We are unapologetic feminists forming a closely-knit group that looks out for each other.

While society is falling, we are quietly reforming
As the world crumbles around us, we are working hard behind the scenes to make a positive change.

Protecting the planet, healing our own damage
We are dedicated to repairing the harm caused by human activity and safeguarding the environment from further destruction.

Quarantined all alone, Mother Nature's on the phone
Amidst the pandemic, we have been cut off from our usual interactions, but it reminds us that the natural world is calling out to us.

"What have you been doing? Don't forget I am your home
Mother Nature chastises us for neglecting our responsibility to care for the planet and to cherish the habitats it provides.

Virus come, fires burn until human beings learn
Natural disasters, like the pandemic and wildfires, will keep happening as long as we neglect our duty to the planet and its inhabitants.

From every disaster, you are not my master"
We must not be complacent or nihilistic in the face of calamity; instead, we must learn and grow stronger as a result of our trials.

Need to purge the poison, show us our humanity
In order to be better people, we must confront and acknowledge the negative elements in our culture and in ourselves that perpetuate harm.

All the bad and good, racism and misogyny
We must acknowledge and challenge discrimination and bias based on race and gender.

Nothing's hidden anymore, capitalism made us poor
We must question the systems that perpetuate inequality, like capitalism, that have made us poor and that keep certain groups of people disadvantaged.

God, forgive America for every single war
We must address and reconcile with the harm that has been caused by our country's history of participating in wars of aggression.

It's your own decision
The power to make positive change is in our own hands.

But your home is now your prison
If we don't take care of our environment and each other, we will be trapped in a world that is increasingly unstable and unsustainable.

You forgot that, without me, you won't go far, far
We must never forget that our world is interconnected and that we rely on the environment for our very survival.

2007 when size zero was the rage
In the past, the cultural norm for beauty was dangerously thin, perpetuating harmful standards of body image.

Britney shaved her head and
Celebrities are often subject to intense scrutiny and criticism that can lead to them making choices that seem illogical or erratic.

All we did was call her crazed
Instead of understanding or empathizing with someone who is struggling, society often labels them as crazy or unstable.

Harvey Weinstein, gone to jail
Finally, some abusers are being held accountable for their actions.

Me Too went on to unveil
The Me Too movement exposed the magnitude of sexual assault and harassment experienced by women in all walks of life.

Truth and all its glory
The truth is not always easy to confront, but it must be connected and its seekers should be praised for their courage.

The ending of a story
With the Me Too revelations comes the opportunity for a new beginning, one where women's voices are heard and respected.

It's a new world order, everything just falls away
The old ways of doing things are rapidly becoming obsolete and we must adapt to the changes in the world around us.

Our life as we knew it now belongs to yesterday
The past is gone and the future is uncertain, so we must use our time wisely to build a better world.

Inside all the love and hate we can now regenerate
Even in times of conflict or hardship, we can find ways to heal and renew ourselves and our world.

Stopped how we'd been living every single day
The pandemic forced us to reevaluate our priorities and our way of life, making it clear that change is necessary.

I just want a world where I can see the feminine
We seek a world where women are valued and represented as equals and not relegated to the sidelines.

We only make up one-quarter of the government
There is a significant gap in representation that affects the way policies and laws are created and enacted.

Like an angel gone to hell
Women are often forced to navigate oppressive systems that suppress their inherent power and limit their agency.

Cast the moon under our spell
We refuse to be constrained by societal expectations and instead embrace our own power and creativity.

Owning female power, taking back what's ours
We will reclaim the power that has been taken from us and use it to create a better world for all people.

Earth is like a white rose
Our planet is a delicate and beautiful thing that must be protected and cherished.

Quiet cloud of petals fold
The beauty of the world can be fragile and fleeting, so we must act with care and intention to preserve it.

A place so corrupt where
The world can be filled with darkness and corruption, but we must fight it with all our strength.

Angel flesh and blood is sold
People are often reduced to mere commodities, being subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment.

The feminine is born as new
A new era is being ushered in where women's voices and perspectives are elevated and embraced as valuable contributions to society.

Started with a diamond dew
Change may be small at first, but it has the potential to grow and build into something much larger and more impactful.

Solitude was coming, everybody knew
As we face an uncertain and chaotic world, we must be prepared to face our challenges alone and rely on our own strength.
