Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said she never had a soulmate
and everything that happened was in your head
'cause soon shes gonna leave you
gonna leave you
gonna leave you
she will!
she made you promise her the whole world
and you did so she could be forever your girl
'cause soon shes gonna leave you
gonna leave you
gonna leave you
she will!




she got that fire
(fire)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Marilyn" by Patrick Dorgan portray a relationship that is hurtling towards an inevitable end. The singer tells the story of a woman who has never had someone who she considered her soulmate. Everything in their relationship seems to be one-sided as the singer suggests that whatever happened between them was only in the singer's' head. The song expresses a feeling of caution and disapproval towards the male protagonist who seems to have been deluded by the woman's charms. The lyrics warn that the woman will leave him soon, suggesting that there was never any real connection between them.


The woman seems to have set high expectations for her partner, as he had to promise her the whole world just to keep her happy. The lyrics suggest that this promise became a necessity for the man to make her feel that he was wholly committed to her. However, the man knew deep down that the woman would leave him sooner or later, and he could not do anything about her decision.


Overall, the lyrics of "Marilyn" are a bittersweet reminder of how one can get stuck in a relationship with someone who never reciprocates the same love and affection. The lyrics try to teach the audience to be cautious before giving someone their all, making sure that their partner is on the same page and not taking advantage of them.
