Marionette
Rabia Sorda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I was like you
I wish I was a golden child
To leave me these memories behind
I wish your fate was mine
A brave soul in this world
I wish so many things

But I'm a marionette
Waiting to be seen
I'm a marionette
I wish to be alive
I'm a marionette (x2)

Pull my strings and help me break the spell
Let this hand spin the carrousel
If you wake up crying
I will end your sighing
Come and hold my hand till I'm awake
Awake (x2)

I dream of living in your skin
I dream of the time
You and me just become one
I dream of stealing your heart
Once I'm out of this wooden box
I dream

But I'm a marionette
Waiting to be seen
I'm a marionette
I wish to be alive
I'm a marionette (x2)

Pull my strings and help me break the spell
Let this hand spin the carrousel
If you wake up crying
I will end your sighing
Come and hold my hand till I'm awake
Awake (x2)

Come see
There's life inside of me
We were created to own a soul
I'm ready to exist
I'm ready to step out of your dreams
Come help me
Save my life

I wish so many things
I wish

But I'm a marionette
Waiting to be seen
I'm a marionette
I wish to be alive
I'm a marionette (x2)
Waiting to be seen
I'm a marionette
I wish to be alive
I'm a marionette (x2)





Pull my strings and help me break the spell
Let this hand spin the carrousel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rabia Sorda's song "Marionette" represent the feelings of being trapped and controlled, and the desire to break free and live one's own life. The chorus repeats the metaphor of being a marionette, a puppet controlled by someone else's strings. The singer expresses their envy of the golden child, who seemingly has the freedom and agency to lead their own life and create their own memories independently. They long to be alive and to exist outside of their wooden box, dreaming of living in the golden child's skin or stealing their heart.


The singer addresses someone who has the power to break the spell and help them break free. "Pull my strings and help me break the spell / Let this hand spin the carousel" suggests that they need someone else to take action and help them escape their constraints. The repeated phrase "come and hold my hand till I'm awake" suggests the need for emotional support as well. The bridge seems to change perspectives: "come see / there's life inside of me" suggests that the singer wants the other person to recognize their intrinsic worth and potential for life.
