Marina & The Diamonds - Happy Meal Lyrics






Polished trophy, pretty whore
Leave the house to feel adored
Evil eaves so soft and sweet
So why'd you let them pass you around like meat?

You're not even breast
You're not even steak
You're a Happy Meal
Just lay there on a plate

You're available at any hour
They just drive-through
Take your power-uh-uh-er!
Pow-ow-ow-ower!

You better watch out
I think your meat is starting to turn
Sour!

Groupie, they all lovingly
Fear the things you could achieve
If you thought better of yourself;
But you prefer to fuck up your mental health

You grew up hungry
Hunger pangs for company
You coulda sucked dry all the seas
But nothing seemed to put you at ease

They say

You always sing in a minor key
Only about things that concern me
I'm happy day-to-day
But this hunger - it never goes away

I grew up hungry
Hunger pangs for company
I coulda sucked dry all the seas
But nothing seemed to put me at ease

Like chocolate, sex, cigarettes, and love
No none of these things seem enough
For girls like her,
And guys like me,
Depleted in com-company

Depleted company
Depleted company

No I don't wanna be saved
I'm not askin' for that -
I prefer to be brave
and fill myself up with things
that I know will just fuck with my head
with things that I know will just fuck up my head

Well at least I helped one girl
Crawl out of stranger's beds
And you;
I doubt you ever bothered to see
What's going on in her head

Well it's easy to judge,
And it's easy to say what you said.

No it's easy, so easy
To say
What you said

  4. A.... S....

    I love this song so much

  5. K.... S....

    the picture of marina pointing makes me think of that Felix the Cat clock...

  6. G.... O....

    most meaningful song

  7. S.... H....

    I just did a Capella cover for this & it would mean so so so much if u checked it out!

    S.... H....

    you're amazing!!!

  8. T.... L....

    At the beginning, chords sounds like Troubled Mind.

  9. A.... H....

    And the fact she made this on the GarageBand app just amazes me

    A.... H....

    @Steven Rose Quartz She is... I... my god, there are no words to describe her. Fuck god, we have Marina.

  10. I.... J....

    you can tell this is a serious song from the beginning

    I.... J....

    @Isabella J At the beginning, the chords sounds like Troubled Mind.

  11. s.... ....

    She should remake all the unofficial songs and out it on one whole album

  12. R.... G....

    hell yeah

  13. C.... ....

    I can't really hear her voice. I can only hear the piano. Is it supposed to be like that?

    C.... ....

    @CandyRetrieverxo headphones put marina in your head its just fantastic

    C.... ....

    @Xdcplayer I KNOW, RIGHT???

    C.... ....

    Lol I have headphones and it still sounds awful? ):

    C.... ....

    +CandyRetrieverxo Look up the lyrics then put headphones in.
    if you know what she's saying it's easy to understand.

    C.... ....

    I hear the lyrics even louder than the piano

  14. T.... R....

    Wow I love this song!!! Marina is amazing. <3 <3 <3

  15. M.... S....

    favorite song by marina!!

  16. P.... D....

    This song is so much deeper than half the 'music' that's out there now.

  17. J.... e....

    When I first heard this it sounded like she was at McDonald's 😂😂

  18. K.... R....

    This song is about sex for all of who didn't know slowly

  19. T.... ....

    Marina's older demos really remind me of Regina Spektor, they're great.

    T.... ....

    I love Regina. Never occurred to me how similar they are.

  20. Z.... S....

    Its about fame

  21. C.... S....

    her style reminds me of kate nash in this song for some reason

  22. P.... T....

    heart her hair

  23. C.... I....

    I just want to steal her and put her in my closet and when I invite people over, she'll help me take their souls and we'll take over the world and her music will be on the radio all day everyday. Everyone will have to worship her and love her.

    C.... I....

    But then she'd be so famous! I like being special with her. It's like with Nirvana, and other bands and singers. It's like, a special club :D

    C.... I....

    @Cxnfxsxd Is Confused Best. Fucking. Plan. Ever.

    C.... I....

    @Sasha L Well, she famous now... it's like :D and D: at the same time.

    C.... I....

    " You'll become a goddess whether you like it or not "

    C.... I....

    @sasha L. WTF do u really have that little self confidence that you’d rather someone else not get the things they want in life because you feel superior listening to their music when it’s not part of mainstream media! You actually piss me off, fucking twat

  24. M.... ....

    you all the world have to listen to this

  25. V.... L....

    I love how it sounds like she's inside my head!

  26. L.... C....

    I'm in love with this song.

  27. s.... ....

    in this song she's talking about someone who's easy to get and lacks value

    s.... ....

    no one mentioned sex

    s.... ....

    Beck Styles "polished trophy, pretty whore" "so why'd you let them pass you around like meat?" "you're available at any hour, they just drive through, take your power" "well at least i helped one girl crawl out of stranger's beds" what do you think all of these lines are alluding to if not sex?

  28. B.... B....

    Did someone make this with earphones on?

    B.... B....

    fuck off you distasteful rat

    B.... B....

    @charlie WTF dude he’s just saying it’s bad quality which it is because it’s not made in any proper studio, grow up you fuckin twat

  29. B.... G....

    not that there's anything wrong with it but not all artists have to sing about money, sex and drugs some can have lyrics with depth

  30. S.... ....

    Nobody should be disin Marina or I will hunt them

    S.... ....

    SolarWinds ikr she’s amazing!






    Now will you respond?

  31. F.... ....

    Plug in your earphones!! Then it sounds normal ♡♡♡

  32. C.... M....

    Its meant to be like that

  33. S.... ....

    liberal circle jerk youtube never surprises me

  34. S.... ....

    you have no idea of what you are talking about -.-

  35. S.... ....

    what punishment?

  36. L.... a....

    What the HELL is wrong with the audio

  37. l.... ....

    literally which other 'generic singer' has songs about plastic rainbows, pancake karma, or happy meals lol

  38. N.... A....

    Listening*

  39. N.... A....

    I wasn't listen to the song with earphones at first so that's probably why I didn't hear her singing, but I have earphones right now and OMG this song is awesome 0-0.
    Thanks though because that really helped. ^_^
    And I don't like marina and the diamonds.
    I love her. 0-0
    XD jk
    But yeah I think her music is awesome so yeah thanks again.

  40. a.... ....

    I believe it needs to be split into two channels (Left & Right) hence why you can hear her voice clearly through headphones/earphones - It's split between two channels, filling in the frequency gaps. or, it may have been recorded amateurishly but you can hear it properly with headphones so it just needs to be split. Or did you mean that you don't like Marina (A-OK BTW)?

    Hope that helped!

    -Audiophile

  41. J.... O....

    how to deal with a troll: Step one: Ignore the troll. Step two: REPEAT STEP ONE

  42. j.... ....

    help yourself before you help marina(aka goddess).

  43. R.... ....

    You can't even hear her voice clearly...
    Why is the audio so messed up?

  44. L.... P....

    yo, th4ts not cool! th1s ch1ck 1s a r4d s1ng3r!

  45. T.... C....

    is it just me or is the audio messed up?

  46. m.... ....

    SOOOOOOUR

  47. t.... ....

    Because I know I can't sing, but she doesn't.

  48. p.... ....

    I don't see you having a successful career as a singer.

  49. p.... ....

    no idea what I meant. But I agree about the way she sounds like shes inside your head
    she welcome to stay in there for a while

  50. p.... ....

    AND HOW. VERY I BELONG IN A CAGE FOR THE CIRCUS.

  51. t.... .....

    your icon completes your comment :D

  52. U.... ....

    She reminds me of Bjork in this song for some reason...

  53. K.... L....

    Absolutely quirky. It's fantastic!

  54. A.... G....

    This reminds me of the Lavender Town's melody of Pokemon. I like it, but it frightens me a bit.

  55. R.... ....

    if only kanye west could interrupt saying these words.....

  56. T.... ....

    Oh! Thank you, sir/mad'am. ^u^

  57. K.... ....

    A 'pleb' is a commoner, a middle/lower-class citizen, but it's used to describe someone with a physical disorder in modern slang.

    I enjoy talking like I'm smart ^.^

  58. T.... ....

    *Whispers quietly.* Uh, pardon me: but what's pleb?
    Aslo, uh, thank you, for sticking up for Marina. <3

  59. T.... ....

    I liked you until you used the word faggot. :/ Otherwise, I support this comment.

  60. T.... H....

    not now marina, i'm working ;o

  61. S.... H....

    Her voice doesn't sound fully on my iPhone, it's probably too intense for it hahah

  62. L.... M....

    I love how its sassy and funny but still has a great meaning

  63. C.... F....

    That's not really a punishment...

  64. B.... ....

    And you're an expert on how people should use their vocal chords are you? I'd quite like to see you sing like her but you never would because you're a spineless faggot who sits behind a computer who has far too much time on their hands and bashes successful people.

  65. C.... G....

    I actually love her

  66. J.... L....

    I'm going to love Marina no matter what.

  67. t.... ....

    But my negative opinion was constructive, I hope she'll grow up someday and become a real singer.

  68. G.... O....

    Not to mention Just Desserts and Hot Cross Bun :3

  69. G.... O....

    For some reason I love how this song doesn't have a chorus.

  70. T.... ....

    its because when Marina started writing and composing her music, she took a very deep jab at our hearts to get her point across. her music this day does the same but she puts a more "pop" twist on it.

  71. B.... W....

    Does she have something... about naming her songs after food? Happy Meal? Pancake Karma

  72. C.... D....

    Please leave nobody likes you, go listen to your horrible music.

  73. m.... ....

    Go and listen to whatever your terminology of music is then.. ktnxbye

  74. g.... r....

    Okay - your opinion.
    But for us, the diamonds, it's so much more than music <3

    MARINA FTW <3

  75. J.... ....

    Agreed with Andrea anyways

  76. a.... ....

    GUYS IM ACTUALLY REALLY SCARED ARE WE INSANE IT HURTS AND I CAN STILL HEAR IT AFTER I STOP THE VID
    lol who cares i can hear Marina wherever i go

  77. s.... ....

    O.O I thought I was the only one! XD

  78. S.... ....

    Marina is amazing. I always go look for the lyrics after I listen to her songs to analyze the song and find its hidden meanings. I loved her more. You'll love her music if you understand it. Its pretty easy and im only thirteen.

  79. M.... F....

    Her voice is perfect for broadway

  80. i.... c....

    such a good song omfg

  81. C.... ....

    That picture is scary

  82. B.... A....

    But you preferred to fuck up your mental health.

  83. J.... S....

    The old Marina :(

    J.... S....

    Javiera Solar what’s wrong with the new one?
    She’s still the same.

  84. G.... T....

    Why is it that her voice is only audible with headphones?

  85. B.... A....

    Damn she is so fucking gorgeous!

  86. r.... ;....

    like chocolate, sex, cigarettes and love.. No none of these things seem enough

  87. J.... D....

    well, i dont know Tori, but if you love Marina, you will love Regina too!:3

  88. l.... ....

    have you tried using headphones? i can hear her loud and clear. o:

  89. l.... ....

    gosh, this is probs one of my favorite songs of hers. it's got this great melody and these amazing, poetic lyrics and just gggg g its so great

  90. i.... �....

    excuse me no

  91. i.... �....

    Just because your small brain can't understand her lyrics doesn't mean they are lame.

  92. i.... �....

    How is she generic? Honestly I've never heard a singer like her before, I've never heard a voice like that, or songs like hers, with lyrics like hers. I honetly think she's soooooo different from most singers.

  93. i.... �....

    I agree, maybe because most of her old songs are kind of sad, i mean not only the beat but the meaning...

  94. V.... M....

    Definitely reminds me of Regina Spektor.

  95. k.... C....

    such an amazing song
