Ghost - I'm A Marionette Lyrics






"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall

Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, it's insane

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"
"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

    Well, I've heard many times some fake news about ABBA's members behavior, specially about sex (including pansexualism, swing etc). Some of them pointed out the satanism in many details (or "easter eggs") in their lyrics and album covers. The VISITORS is one of the most mentioned. Some say the word GOD has never been mentioned in their lyrics and that, most of them, could affect people on suicide ideas (THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL, for instance), and others are indecent ones (GIMME A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT, NOT TOO OLD TO SEX, TWO GIRLS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE, DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW THAT YOU'RE OUT).. Well, I think they are fake news anyway. Sometimes, some alcohol, perhaps, but, certainly, no drugs and no satanism made part of their lives. Metal bands cover ABBA for just one reason: the songs are superb. They fit disco, pop. punk, glitter and metal versions. They wrote and played songs in a level that, in my opinion, will not be EVER reached in pop culture.

    You're so free that's what everybody's telling me

    Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong

    I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the strings
    I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing

    It actually says “Belial, Belial, Belial, Belial, Belial, Belial, Belial satan”

    Edit; IM SORRY I SEARCH IT UP AND YOU WHERE RIGHT! 😪

  3. D.... M....

  7. K.... v....

    Man I really want to hit like on this but it's at 666 likes and I'm not going to ruin that

  8. J.... ....

    Abba did a sick cover over this

    J.... ....

    ​@nieves espinoza he was joking dumbass

    J.... ....

    @nieves espinoza *Satanic facepalm*

    J.... ....

    @nieves espinoza Wooooooooosh

    J.... ....

    nieves espinoza R/woooooosh

    Indeed Abba's the original version. It's part of a musical about how music industry can destroy an artists' talent. It begins with THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC (celebrating the "gifts" of the main character, like singing), I WONDER (when she leaves her little town and simple life to try the artistic career) and, finally, I'M A MARIONETTE, when she gets some success, but, highly pressed by INDUSTRY demands,, commits suicide. Fantastic three-song opera.

  9. P.... D....

    Probably my favorite Ghost cover. I find the line, "Can't complain/I've got no one but myself to blame" very relatable.

    P.... D....

    Patrick Doran Okay tbh same, but that's kinda an edgy line imo

  10. A.... ....

    Sounds like Grohl on drums.... it's gotta be.. very precise fills

    A.... ....

    I’m almost certain he did play the drums on at least this track along with producing the record

    A.... ....

    It is him, well it was at the time of this recording

    A.... ....

    This all is true.

    A.... ....

    It’s says in the description.

    A.... ....

    It was Dave Grohl doing the drums on this.

    Its crazy that he's a fan of ghost

  11. B.... J....

    its so weird how much its differnt from the ABBA verson. though, that ones scared me.

  12. P.... ....

    Favorite Ghost song so far. Though I am not very far into looking.

    P.... ....

    Myns circe

    P.... ....

    Myn is circe

    P.... ....

    And my favourite Abba song

  13. I.... B....

    This kicks ass.

  14. A.... R....

    The only part of this I don’t like is the Marionette parts. I mean, it’s kind of hard to make that particular word work and sound good singing it. They do a decent job, but I just can’t help it. The rest of the song is awesome!

    A.... R....

    In my opinion I find the Marionette parts to be my favorite.

    A.... R....

    certainly more out of tune than the original, esp. 2nd part, but fits the overall creepiness

    A.... R....

    This ain't rap or hip hop, words dont have to always rhyme.

    A.... R....

    I think the whole shtick I perfect for relating the point of a marionette...papa emeritus ...complete marionette...perfect song for ghost...eagle would be another perfect Abba song for a metal band

  15. E.... ....

    Why does this have so little views?!

    E.... ....

    its a repost by them the original covers they did have more views

    E.... ....

    Huge hate culture around this bad. I don't understand it honestly, probably because they are getting ahead in the metal game
