Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever he's around
I put on the crown of clowns
And melt slowly to the ground
Yeah I feel it coming on
When I've been static for too long
And an explosion comes in time
They say you used to be so kind
I never knew you had such a dirty mind
Well, I went to the doctors believing
The devil had control over me and
I was finding it hard to breath in
Finding it hard to fight the feeling
When my heart just burst like a glass balloon
I let it fly too high and shattered too soon
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I broke my glass balloon
I let go of my glass balloon
Oh oh oh oh ohh
They call him Hermit the Frog
He's looking for a dog
Did you find your bitch in me
Oh you're a abominable socially
You're just a little bit too much like me
She said she used to be so kind
Well baby I give you your dirty mind
Well I
I wanna tell you a secret
You can take your double standard love and keep it
I can't help the devil likes to make my heart a double bed
I can't help he sometimes like to come and rest his little head
When my heart just burst like a glass balloon
I let it fly too high and it shattered too soon
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I broke my glass balloon
I let go of my glass balloon
Oh my heart just burst like a glass balloon
We let them fly too high and they shattered too soon
They'll be the wrong damn people in the wrong damn room
We broke our glass balloons
We let go of our glass balloons
We broke our glass balloons
Let go of my glass balloon
The lyrics of "Hermit The Frog" by Marina & The Diamonds reveal the struggle of someone who feels overwhelmed by the presence of another person, someone who makes them feel like they're not themselves. The first verse sets the tone, suggesting that the person is not comfortable with themselves when their partner is around. They "put on the crown of clowns," indicating that they feel the need to wear a mask and play a role to make their partner happy. However, this facade doesn't last, and they feel like they're slowly melting to the ground.
The second verse suggests that this relationship has been static for too long and that the person is reaching breaking point. They feel like they're about to "cross the line," and that an explosion is coming. The lyrics also touch on the idea that people change in relationships. The person's partner is no longer kind and has a "dirty mind," something that they never knew before. It's as if the person is waking up to a reality that they never imagined, and they're finding it hard to fight the feeling.
Throughout the song, there is a metaphor of a glass balloon, representing the fragility of the person's heart. The chorus suggests that the metaphorical heart burst like a glass balloon, something that happened too soon because they let it fly too high. The person feels like they were in the wrong room at the wrong time, indicating that they made a mistake by entering into this relationship. They broke their glass balloon, and they have to let go of it to move on.

Yeah I feel I'm watered down
I feel like I'm losing my essence and uniqueness when he's around
Whenever he's around
When he's present in my environment
I put on the crown of clowns
I wear a metaphorical hat that represents my foolishness
And melt slowly to the ground
I lose my strength and confidence, becoming vulnerable and helpless
Yeah I feel it coming on
I sense an emotional breakdown looming
When I've been static for too long
When I haven't changed my routine for too long
And an explosion comes in time
A burst of emotions hits me like a storm
Before I go and cross the line
Before I do something that I might regret
They say you used to be so kind
People mention that you were once a kind person
I never knew you had such a dirty mind
I didn't realize that you had such impure thoughts
I went to the doctors believing
I went to a medical professional thinking
The devil had control over me and
Believing that I was under the influence of Satan
I was finding it hard to breath in
I had difficulties breathing
Finding it hard to fight the feeling
Struggling to resist the sensation
When my heart just burst like a glass balloon
When my emotions exploded intensely like a fragile balloon breaking
I let it fly too high and shattered too soon
I got carried away and made things worse
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I realized I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
I broke my glass balloon
I shattered my emotions
I let go of my glass balloon
I released my emotional baggage
They call him Hermit the Frog
He is nicknamed Hermit the Frog
He's looking for a dog
He is searching for something he might not find
Did you find your bitch in me
Did you manipulate and control me?
Oh you're a abominable socially
You're socially unacceptable or unpleasant
You're just a little bit too much like me
You and I have some similarities
Well baby, I give you your dirty mind
I acknowledge that you have impure thoughts, and it's not my fault
Well I wanna tell you a secret
I want to share a confidential truth with you
You can take your double standard love and keep it
You can have your biased and hypocritical love to yourself
I can't help the devil likes to make my heart a double bed
I can't control my attraction to sinful desires
I can't help he sometimes like to come and rest his little head
I can't help that the devil occasionally influences me
We let them fly too high and they shattered too soon
We allowed our emotions to escalate, leading to their quick destruction
They'll be the wrong damn people in the wrong damn room
They will be in the wrong place with the wrong people
We broke our glass balloons
We had an emotional breakdown
Let go of my glass balloon
I released my emotional baggage

To everyone who's studying with this music:
Checklist:
โข A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate๐ง
โข Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time๐
โข Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone๐ง
โข a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.โ
โข Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.โจ
โขAnything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy ๐
Just spreading the word๐ค

We let go of our glass balloons
We broke our glass balloons
Let go of my glass balloon

Marina has those vocals, you can't say no to them. She has the voice that you love, you don't even pay attention to the rhythm or lyrics. She has the type of voice and vocals that make you wanna listen to more of her songs. She's amazing and that's no lie. "Marina and the diamonds," her voice is a diamond.

From about 1:27 to about 1:56 is a part I can relate to most, me and one of my guy friends were so alike to the point where it started becoming creepy, the way we shared almost the exact same issues in terms of friendships and bullying and mental health and had the exact same personality. Both innocent, me a little more, then when he kept getting rejected by everyone he liked he decided to pay attention to someone who was a lot like him and could understand his social cues better (something which the other girls couldnโt do) and that was the start of the best relationship Iโve had.
