I saw there was no lyric video, so I decided to make one! This was unreleased by Marina, all rights go to her. Enjoy! Here is the download link: www.mediafire.com/?7qyfr9whbuz...
If anyone was wondering, the "living like a porcupine" is probably referring to the porcupine dilemma. The porcupine dilemma, also known as the hedgehog dilemma, is a metaphor used in psychology to describe the challenges of human intimacy. If a hedgehog is cold, it cannot huddle for warmth with another without hurting them and being hurt. It's seen as describing that while most relationships are started with good intentions, both parties are often hurt. Seeing as Marina has sung about how bad her relationships have been and the horribly magnetic nature they seek to have for her, I wouldn't put this past her. She's got some pretty cheeky lyrics!
Electra heart has some amazing writing too, but i agree i want marina to sound more personal and specific not simplify her songs into a "relatable" topic
yeah I'm of the opinion that it sounds like something that would happen in Electra Heart's life but has some of the vocal quirks that are mainly of tfj and was probably from early in EH's writing
There was an album called die life that was supposed to come out after tfj but was scrapped. A lot o the unreleased music comes from that era. It sounds like a mix of tfj and eh
Alliaaa think of a drawing. You might think it looks pretty but the artist can see a mistake or two and can’t bare to look at it. The same applies for music. She’s embarrassed or disappointed by it so she hides it.
ugh this song is so good, it’s hard to explain in words. I wish she released this on an album! It’s beautifully written and the sound is so unique! That's what I love about Marina. Her version of pop is so quirky
So late-ish but I love how this song almost captured the struggle of being gay in a small homophobic town. I grew up in a decent good small town but I’ve had friends who have had the worst struggle and this song is so relatable to that. Especially with a wrongly Christian town based on hate where it should be love thy neighbour and just appreciate love not hate. One of my favourite all time unreleased Marina songs.
OH so that's why this was one of my favorite songs when I was like 16. That, and it sounds like it should be an anime credits theme. Even now, that is embarrassingly one of my favorite kinds of music
hi! you might know this by now, or just not care anymore, but just in case!!! marina originally wanted to release "electra heart" and "die life" in the same year, but wanted to go by a different alias for electra (the alias, of course, being "electra heart"). she asked her label if she could do that, they basically said 'nah,' so she wound up writing more for electra and releasing it!
The comment section: 1. MMMMMIIIIIKKKKKKKKKUUUUU 2. How are her unreleased songs so good? 3. HIT OR MISS- I GUESS THEY NEVER-- *immediately gets cut off by whole comment section* 4. AAAH THE 80's VIBES! 5. What's this song supposed to be about?
Marina is the best artist hands down idc what anyone fucking says. Forget love and fear she is so damn talented at singing and songwriting these are probably some of her best lyrics. They are thought provoking and the concept is unique the production is amazing too. I wish she made music like this
+fenwickellie i'm pretty sure it was one of the first songs written after the family jewels era but when marina didn't really have the concept of electra yet? and nice profile pic 👏
I heard that it was between Electra Heart and the Froot Era but couldn't make it into the Froot album. And It was late to put it into Electra Heart so it was left out.
when i was a preteen id listen to her music and talk to any and every man i could and be this little cute soft grunge whore and then when i finally got a boyfriend my own age who played sports and liked me he kept threatening me out of his passion for me and obsession, and id listen to this song thinking about how i couldnt even eat a subway sandwich because I was such a disgrace, and then eventually id send this song to him years years later basically yelling at him for that exact porcupine complex i was suffering from, and oh how he was disinterested and terribly bored to my face. now im on the other end listening again, i think that love is a very special frequency we pull in from concept to experience, like fame or money. My biggest advice for all the beauty queens out there is to just smile the pain away, keep talking, to anyone and everyone, just because of one bad experience, always understanding that since everything is infinite in its abundance, that there will always be something more, bigger, and greater than what we are chasing, and the moment we have it, we may notice our feelings arent as grand as we thought, its okay. picture like one bad boyfriend, put it in a box, all the objects that come up when you think about it that may symnolize what you experienced, and then when you close the box and walk away, eventually notice how many other boxes there are out there, and how muhc you dserbe to b happi :)
People being like its got an 80s vibe. Yeah babes, the riff is from Wouldn't it be Good by Nik Kershaw. Wondering now if this got shelved cause they weren't happy with the sampling 🤔
I think the porcupine thing is about being a coward, personally? Like, take porcupines, with the symbolism around them being antisocial, capable of curling up into a ball and keeping everyone away with their spikes, plus the first line about "losing her spine", which also ties back to being a coward, or rather, spineless. All in all, I believe the whole song is her reprimanding herself for breaking up with someone due to this cowardice, and attributing it to sin.
Her unreleased songs are better than other artists' singles.
Facts.

They can't be released, the world is not ready for them.

Most of them when she right to her boyfriend's and very truthful to her words..

not anymore sadly :(
@@itsaustyboo 😢😢😢 I love the new stuff, but I will forever miss her old style. At least she's happy now. That's what really matters.
@@bettycat4832 i agree with you so much
She should just get all her unrealised songs and make it into an album it would be so good
I have no idea why, but Marina's music always helps me calm down ❤️
Sydney not to sound like a five year old but oh hey my names also sydney

you forgot the word star in the first line.
This and Living Dead woulda been perfect for Die Life! Why did she not release that!? It woulda been a great album.
It never made it, she was originally gonna release Die Life but it got rejected so then that’s when Electra Heart came in.
Smøl Bean I knew that, but why was it rejected is what I'm tryna say😛.
Ohhhh ok, I don’t why, but if it was released, I would’ve definitely loved it.
But Sinful was made for The Family Jewels.

@@angelkkura Yeah, I know. That's just everyone else
@@selinali1500 ahh, im sorry. :c
@@angelkkura That's fine. It's helpful for those who don't know what this song is about
One of her B E S T songs. Will forever be the song that makes me so happy every time I hear it.
Love the 80s vibe I get from this
the chimes at the bridge??? too good
I think that this song is about how she knows it’s bad to live a life of hatred but struggles to break free
UGH i listened to this song SOO MUCH when I was 14
I am 14 and this is deep...
Seymour O literally same
I'm going to be 14 soon and oh my gosh this song is in my head!
so fucking real man 💚 now coming back here and now in my 20s
80s vibes
I hear love + fear... and somehow I’m back here enjoying this 1000% more
Omg I’m 23 now. I first listened to this when I was 13.
I love this song omg
Fauxdo it’s tied at number one for my overall favorite songs from her
(in another video) I wonder who made the original song? (clicks link)
*G O L L Y*
;-;
Lemme guess, Miku Is Full Of Sin?
Who else hears some whispers on the backround of the song?
Or just me? I'm little bit scared :(
No Name No Surname thats pretty normal in her songs. Its backup vocals that are echoed lower than the music itself.
Plot twist: *WE'RE ALL PORCUPINES*
We porcupines will rule the world someday.
I didn't think of that. . . But honestly. . . Yeah, I do
Marina is the best artist hands down idc what anyone fucking says. Forget love and fear she is so damn talented at singing and songwriting these are probably some of her best lyrics. They are thought provoking and the concept is unique the production is amazing too. I wish she made music like this
I wish she would be a collection of all of her unreleased songs in an album
this song means so much to me. it’s so beautiful
i love this song so much bruh i've listened to it so many times
I’m here from a Ctrl Ult Delete video-
0:41 oh bitch you know nothing
that sounded way better in my head when I planned it
nice.
😂
The part at 1:13 hits different when you’re gay and your family is unaccepting and the church is always telling you that you’re going to hell ✌️😔✌️
im so sorry dude. i support you and one day you will find your people. you are not alone
Same. Cheers from Eastern Europe, bruh :(

The Marina opera is always enjoyable.
I love this song so much
OMG I just discovered this song and... It blew my mind. I love it!!
I love this
forgive me my lord for I have been living like a porcupine :(
What does it mean...?
@@armyshope Living like a porcupine means that you are hurting everyone around you and being scared to show your true self.
@@cyanidesurprise909 Thanks
One of her best unreleased songs
I wish she released this
i was LOOKING FOR THIS!!
Was this written for like Electra heart or family jewels ?? It sounds really Electra heart-y that's all I was just wondering 😄
+fenwickellie i'm pretty sure it was one of the first songs written after the family jewels era but when marina didn't really have the concept of electra yet? and nice profile pic 👏
she should just shove it on a repackage of Froot id love that
I WOULD LOVE DIE LIFE OMFG
I heard that it was between Electra Heart and the Froot Era but couldn't make it into the Froot album. And It was late to put it into Electra Heart so it was left out.
This song already existed way before Froot.
💖 thank you

I thought for a very long time to do a cover for this song, and I will... someday
because I love the song and its meaning very very much

Dear porcupines, oh wait, that's melanie
This sounds like a video game soundtrack

this reminds me of the 80s for some reason
