Marina & The Diamonds - Troubled Mind Lyrics
Off she trots to the psychiatric hospital
All she's got is the memory of a girl who used to laugh a lot
Now she's very angry 'cause they say she's lost the plot
And she's laughing in the mirror at her paper dress
'Cause she has a troubled mind, a troubled mind
Rosie Black, she walked up in here wired up on crack
It's for the kids who have low self esteem
They've got no concept of reality
Living their lives inside a fantasy
'Cause they have troubled minds, troubled minds
Wipe the white golden dust into these broken hands
Must depend on a friend that will understand
Like the glitter making love to the gleam
Just remember things aren't always what they seem
Peter Pan could not admit he had become a man
He smashed the mirror into a million bits
Now all he seems to do is stare and sit
Painting pictures of a life that he'll never find
Inside his troubled mind, troubled minds
There's a sweet little guy called Mars
Each night he cries, this ain't the place I'm meant to be
He hides his dreams deep within a wooden box
He hides his secrets deep within his woolen socks
Life will pass him by
Inside his troubled mind, troubled minds
Wipe the white golden dust into these broken hands
Must depend on a friend that will understand
Like the glitter making love to the gleam
Just remember things aren't always what they seem
We can kill for the dust we need to fill these hands
Can't depend on a friend that will understand
Hate the glitter, we have murdered the dream
Just remember things are always what they seem
Ohhhh Ohh oh ohh [2x]

Bruhhh this still hits
I like Marina's current music, but her older track are a completely different thing. Pure talent and a bit of Broadway magic.
Her voice has improved so I would love if she would rerecord all these amazing demos!
For F*ck Sake.. I love it <3
Play at 1.25 speed xo
I miss when marina's song were this methaphorical and deep dark, now they're more straight forward and don't need to think much to get her point, but I guess I'm just a nostalgic fag.
I just discovered this...I am so mad at myself for skipping this song so much
fuck sake i love her
The peter pan part...♥♥♥
I'm the little guy called Mars😂
Her voice in this makes me feel like I'm hugging a wall oh my
The Peter Pan line still snatches my weave
isle of flightless birds?
marina = god is real
When says the Rosie black part I think of Effy Stonem
Listen twenty one pilots- isle of flightless birds...
oh my g o d
Lady McTrusty thank you so much because you made me listen to this song and now I’m just in love with it
WHAT A PIECE OF ART IM ON THE FLOOR CRYING WTF
slay mom
I will never find a song i dont like by marina. she be slaying
This kinda sounds like Lenka's 'Trouble is a friend'
what album is this on!? why isn't this being sold on itunes wth THIS IS PERFECT
this is an unreleased track:)
+Isabella J I have a feeling it was meant to be on the family jewels album because it doesn't fit in any other era XD
@RubicksKube25 I'm late, but it was for an album called die life, it was in between EH and TFJ, that's why some of the songs sound like a mix, while some sound more like one or the other
I'm sorry I love these lyrics, I take it to heart, but terrible melody and sounds like crap. I'm sorry but I had to get this out because melody was just Terrible! But I loved lyrics a lot
+FilyFoxGirl Haha I guess everybody thinks different about it :D Because for me personally, I love the song and the message but I love the melody so much and her voice ahh ^^
+FilyFoxGirl what... The melody and voice are great.
cries in spanish bc i love the melody
that song is perfect .-.
At some parts the melody is bad but her voice takes it away at the chorus
It's black blue dust not white golden dust!
I saw blue and gold, wtf is wrong with me
Some Random Person oh dear
exuberantIntellect it's a joke because of the controversial dress image where some thought it was black & blue while others thought it was white &a gold.
sophia shokraei it’s a joke lmao
what is this even r/whoooosh
MY FAVORITE MARINA SONG ^o^
wipe the black blue dust into these broken hands
Lol at the fact people say marina's songs have no meaning but if you listen to every song, you can see their meanings. 😍
Who says that
i want to try to animate this but i would give up 30 seconds in
omg that would be awesome :0
mayb i will try......................................mayb
This song grows on me every time I listen to it
It makes me think of Dear Jenny by the Dresden Dolls.
that bit about peter pan...*shivers intensify*
Her voice is so low in this... I love it.
Nice profile pic
@Crisyred thanks :D
its such a turn on tbh
rosy BLACK
Rosie black
This song is rad!
I'm in love with Marina's voice. I love her sound and her messages. Simply beautiful.
Hauntingly beautiful.
isnt it?
Not the best M.
I have a troubled mind! I accidentally had a legal high on paint fumes! I am ok now!
Quando vi o nome da musica achei que fosse cover da Janis Joplin...
ah man where do i buy these songs?
It's a demo, I think it's available for download from her site :) if not, try a youtube converter.
@Ariel Widhibrata WHAT'S HER SITE
+Lauren Solano there's a site called 'marinamasterpost dot tumblr dot com (dots are periods) and you can download it from there :)
this should have a video <3 i love the sickness of this. its a beautiful song
I can relate to this song in so many wicked levels its insane. I didn't wear paper dresses but everything we wore was loose and they took off the strings to sweaters etc. I have a troubled mind, still.
Has this ever been released or is it a demo?
Demo... But maybe Marina will release it? Hope she does :)
This song is haunting and so beautiful. I love these early demos and I have downloaded Give Me the Money but can't find this one. Ily marina and I am sorry I wasn't a good friend
holy dam i lov dat piktere
I feel like this great song needs to have a video!
Ah Perfect Halloween song.
fucking EXQUISITE
bc it was never released on an album or anything, its just an old demo.
Paper dresses are what you're put into when you're going into the Mental Hospital,The dresses are made out of paper so you can't choke yourself with the strings of the dress basically.
The 63º best song of marina *^*
The 63º best song of marina *^*
The 63º best song of marina *^*
I really like the feel of this song. Very nice. :)
wow the end is so terrifying like i cant even
That is fucking terrifying.
She looks better with her hair brown
This is why I love Marina.
Any one know what the white golden dust and glitter are? Thanks
vidtomp3 website
Why is this song not on itunes or spotify?? How can I get a recording of it?
they make the dress paper so you cant choke yourself with the strings on the cloth dresses in medical hospitals
The lyrics of all her songs literally give me chills...
It seems that no matter what Marina is singing about,it always sounds amazing.
she's so pretty in this picture
I listen to this song every day and all of her songs, too, because Marina is the only artist who's songs I all love. She can make beautiful music about what goes on in our confusing lives.
thanks, i thought I was the only one
april hope your okay :,(,,,,
I had to go to a mental hospital a few days ago, Marina helped me get through it :') x
I think it might be her use of these really powerful childhood symbols (such as Peter Pan) in a really intense dark way
Is anybody else reminded of The Dressden Dolls at all while listening to this??
do u mean my life and my feelings because she fucking reads my non-existent diary
I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it though :C
Idk If I'll be able to find it tho :'c
It's amazing how she can put the horror we call reality into a song.
Ok bitches listen up. Paper dresses are what they make you wear at psychiatric hospitals ok? She obviously is talking about people that are "broken" in society's eyes
I think this about someone with a worry or a fear or they're insecure. Paper dress could mean she feels like a doll and how she feels numb and fake. Then the whole part with Peterpan was he has a fear of something and in that case it was growing up
hmm since paper dress are for dolls, i think it means that the girl has not only lost her mind she lost her personality? she now resembles more of a emotionless and numb doll rather than herself before she became crazy.
Ohh yeah thanks
@lukulikesu the dress that you get at hospitals to wear, a hospital gown
What does the paper dress mean?
Yeah! Make sure you see it! ;3 You have to tell me which one is your favourite squiddle!
Ohh ok ouo
Why is there just like a minute at the end with nothing but the picture....
wait could you explain? i dont understand how it's about... that...
This song reminds me of the movie Orphan.
ive been in a psychiatric hospital so this is like ahhh! <3
I thought it aired in 2000's, but I might be wrong... Haven't seen Squiddles in ages. It was a really great show though. :3
But wasn't it an old tv show from the 90's that got canceled? :C
I watched it too! It's not hard to find at all.
Yeah! I recently found out it was real. I didn't know, because it didn't air in germany.
Yes it is, I watched it when I was little, it was like my entire childhood. The episodes are hard to get a hold of though :(
lol it's unreleased
Click "show the comment" for an adventure folks!

Ah, right. Thanks, I was trying to find it for ages!
