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
Oh yeah, I go and cross the line
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
I was finding it hard to breath and
Finding it hard to fight the feeling
That my heart just burst like a glass balloon
And that 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
They call him Hermit the Frog
He's looking for a dog
Did you find a bitch in me
Oh you're a abominable socially
You're just a little bit too much like me
Says you used to be so kind
Well baby I give you your dirty mind
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
Well 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
I broke our glass balloons
I let go of their glass balloons
I broke our glass balloons
Let go of my glass balloon
Well 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 their glass balloons
We broke our glass balloons
Let go of my glass balloon
The lyrics to Marina and the Diamondโs song โHermit The Frogโ suggest a fluctuating sense of identity in response to external circumstances. The singer feels โwatered downโ when a particular individual is around, which leads them to feel a sense of loss of self and to โmelt slowly to the groundโ as if they are a clown who is putting on a show. They explain that they can sense an explosion coming on when they are static for too long and before they go and โcross the line,โ meaning that they are on the brink of losing control of themselves.
The song is most likely about the struggle to maintain a sense of self in toxic relationships. The singer is aware of the negative attention they receive from a particular person, but they feel trapped in the situation, leading them to question their own identity. They ask โDid you find a bitch in me?โ, implying that they feel exploited in the relationship. The chorus evokes a sense of loss and pain, as โglass balloonsโ represent fragile things that are easily shattered. The singer's heart is akin to a glass balloon that is too weak and fragile to withstand emotional turmoil.

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

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.
