Marina & The Diamonds - Teen Idle Lyrics






I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don't know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean

I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake

Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a Bible
Feeling super, super, super suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I've come alive

I wanna be a virgin pure
A 21st century whore
I want back my virginity
So I can feel infinity

I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake
I want blood, guts and angel cake
I'm gonna puke it anyway

Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a Bible
Feeling super, super, super suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I've come alive
Come alive, I've come alive

I wish I wasn't such a narcissist
I wish I didn't really kiss
The mirror when I'm on my own
Oh, God! I'm gonna die alone
Adolescence didn't make sense
A little loss of innocence
The ugly years of being a fool
Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?

Yeah, I wish I'd been, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a Bible
Feeling super, super, super suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find I've come alive
Only to find I've come alive
Only to find I've come alive
Come alive

Feeling super, super, super!
Feeling super, super, super!
Feeling super, super, super!
Come alive

    "Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
    Feeling super, super super suicidal"

    Growing up and seeing lots of suicidal people around me, I remember one thing about them all clearly. Before I say what, I must say I'm neither religious nor an atheist, so don't assume I'm saying religion and being suicidal are always connected and such. But I remember one thing among all those suicidal people around me. All of them, whether religious or not, at the peak of their suicidal period, they always ended up not believing in anything anymore, especially religion. I'm not saying it's always like this, but rather saying it's the case many times (at least for people I've seen). So when she says "burning up a bible" before saying "feeling super super super suicidal", it strongly indicates to me a state in which the person is at the peak of her depression and suicidal thoughts and in a fatal stage. It's just my personal interpretation tho.

    mental disorders mess with your perception of the world a lot
    they tend to make you think untrue thoughts
    idk who needs the hear this but you are enough
    you will survive
    please don't hurt yourself

  28. G.... M....

    Day before I turned 13: being silly is acceptable

    "I want back my virginity" on that line I thank God that I still have mine. I know I'm stupid

  32. E.... R....

    I feel sad and angry because I can't eat anything with wheat or sugar due to having an allergy and immune reaction to certain foods like Reeses, etc. I have gone keto and I still wished to be normal. It doesn't seem fair!

  33. M.... p....

    M.... A....

    Mamuka Akhalkacishvili
    Christians want me to burn in hell for being lgbt

    M.... A....

    Sammy not all of us only the ones who aren’t true Christian the number one rule we are taught is that it is not our place to judge anyone the second rule we are taught is to love everyone😊

    Teen Idle - a person who is lazy and avoids work

    Teen Idol - a person who is beloved by people

  44. S.... D....

    Damn! There so much depression in this song than the one Squidward From sponge Bob have

  45. Q.... ....

    There is no way in hell it says “the wasted years” just sayin

    Q.... ....

    QueenPenguin no those are the lyrics

    Q.... ....

    Jamela Moore no because there are no official lyrics I will stick to what I hear I’ve slowed it down and it just isn’t ears but if she were to release an official statement confirming it to be years I will come back to admit I was wrong unless I were to forget

  46. E.... D....

    * Me: Feeling sad
    * Bff: You good?
    * Me: Am fine...

  47. C.... S....

    "the ugly years of being a fool ain't youth meant to be beautiful" FTFY

  48. M.... B....

    I feel like this is supposed to be about how whether you are the “good kid” or the “bad kids” as a teen, you will regardless wish you did things differently

    Being a teenager is hard but you don't get depressed

    M.... X....

    Wellllll

  51. f.... ....

    everyone feeling like they didn’t do anything as a teen and being super self destructive later than everyone else, permanently screwing them up and making them feel out of place and like they missed out

  52. K.... A....

    SHE MADE THIS SONG OH MY GOD. I HEARD THIS SONG IN CARRIE EDITS BUT OMG ITS BY HER?!?!?

  53. E.... F....

    this song makes every other song sound bad

  54. p.... 0....

    As I’m a 12 year old, I haven’t even reached my teen years yet. Many adults have said to me it was the best time of their lives. But now, I’m beginning to rethink that. I’m sitting on my bed, listening to Marina song about how she wishes she could have back her virginity and the fact that she was feeling suicidal. I’m scared to be a teenager, guys, very scared.

  55. G.... W....

    I got Carrie vibes from this

    G.... W....

    Accurate

  56. V.... Y....

    The more I’m reading the comment section the more I’m starting to get concerned. Please, if you really are suffering then I suggest you talk to someone, like your parents, but if you don’t want to talk to them you can talk to a therapist. If you need someone to talk to here is the suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255
    Remember that you’re worth it. Don’t ever hurt yourself.

  57. E.... S....

    This song needs to be in euphoria!

  58. A.... M....

    Well, in my past i would have liked to be popular just so that the popular people didn't bully me or treat me like a fool innocent little child 😉 but now if someone bullies me, i will just throw up that fool and angel cake to them and fucking defend myself, they are gonna know my bad side 😉 it's time for me to stop feeling ashamed of showing my bad side. it's time for me to act and CHANGE my fucking past 😠

  59. T.... M....

    I'm gonna save my first kiss

  60. A.... F....

    "I want the world to go away" same here girl....

  61. A.... M....

    i think popularity isn't the solution to happiness. You end up living in a such a fake world that you feel empty in the end.

  62. A.... F....

    ... teen idol..?

  80. L.... G....

    I just realized she spells it as “idle” which means worthless, slothful, good-for-nothing instead of like “idol” like Arianna Grande or Billie Eilish that kind of changes the whole meaning of the song..

  81. V.... 1....

    I’m 19 and I’m mad I never went through the rebellious teen stage

  82. K.... M....

    Imma puke 🤢 it Anyway-

  89. M.... C....

    who else is here after billie eilish's interview?

  90. A.... B....

    The sad fact is I can hear the pain in her voice during this song. 1:57 was the strongest.

  91. L.... ....

    "i'm going to throw it up anyway"
    Me: that shit hurted

  92. A.... N....

    *insert edgy emo teenagers here*

  93. M.... H....

    Yall I relate to this in a way that reffers to my parents. They are so strict so I do wish I got to have these moments, instead of them being so protevtive that I didnt even get to experience these things, or even make my own mistakes. Isnt making mistakes what helps you learn and grow? Im litterly crying at the lyrics "wasted youth" Like, i dont want to live with the feeling of regret at not enjoying the rest of my teen years, but what can I even do anymore? I want to make a big mistake and go to a party and do all these things, but as i get older I feel like my young time is running out, and thanks to my parents it feels so wasted.

  94. K.... I....

    Me on my period-

  95. c.... d....

    *super super super suicidal* I mean she's not wrong..

  96. M.... ....

    I'm 17. I was always a brave girl, got bullied, my family broke, i got beaten up by my brother after school, and my suicidal messed up friends did shit with me for years and i gave them everything, cause they were the only thing i had. I love them still but i quit them. They never realised what happened with me. I got a bf now and he's older than me but more teenager than me. I end up fixing his life. I don't have friends anymore i'm scared of people and most of them don't like my personality. I don't even like it. When i'm alone idk what to do with myself, nothing makes fun tho. I have the feeling that i missed the happiest time in my life, even tho everything startet first years in school. I mean i don't even had a chance , everything just turned out like that-
