MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Can’t Pin Me Down [Official Audio]

Official Audio | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Can’t Pin Me Down

“FROOT is a symbol for something really positive: you plant a seed, a tree grows, it bears fruit, that is the cycle of our lives. I feel like I’ve got to that point where I feel fully realized as a musician. I’ve never felt like that before.” - MARINA

LYRICS
[Chorus 1]
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain’t got my number
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 1]
Now I got your back up
What do you not like?
Do you think I’m stuck up
Cause I’m always picking fights
You might think I’m one thing, but I am another
You can’t call my bluff
Time to back off, motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem?
I’m happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus 1]
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain’t got my number
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Verse 2]
You ain't got me sussed yet
You're not even close
Baby it’s the one thing
That I hate the most
All these contradictions pouring out of me
Just another girl in the 21st century

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am never gonna give you anything that you expect
You think I’m like the others, boy, you need to get your eyes
Checked, checked

[Chorus 1]
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain’t got my number
No, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

[Bridge]
I could be your sister
I could be your mother
I could be your neighbour
I could be your lover
Do you like my body?
Do you like my mind?
What is it that you are having trouble to define?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am never gonna give you anything you expect
You think I’m like the others, boy, you need to get your eyes
Checked, checked

[Chorus 2]
You can paint me any colour
I can be your russian doll
But you ain’t got my number
No, you can’t make me small
You can paint me any colour
And I can be your clown
But you ain’t got my number
No, you can’t pin me down
Yeah, you can’t pin me down
Yeah, you can’t pin me down

[Outro]
Yeah, you can’t pin me down
Yeah, you can’t pin me down

The "Do you really want me to write feminist anthem? I'm happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband" part means she doesn't have to prove anyone she is a feminist; the whole song is about people trying to define what you are and what you should be or do. Marina is a feminist and she can obviosly be a feminist and cook dinner to her husband because she wants to, since feminism also defends women's choices. She doesn't need to write a song saying she's feminist to prove people who doubt it.

[Bandicootali]

I wish there was a deluxe version of Froot

[Marexxtube]

am I the only one that loves everything about this new era so far?

[avadelapena]

Can people stop comparing her to Melanie, Halsey, and Lana? Like yeah they're all great artists but if you think she's like the others, boy you need to get your eyes checked.

[lunitabnita]

I think what marina is trying to say is that you can be a housewife and a feminist too, (as long as the housewife is being treated equal to her spouse). This whole song is about how you can be a feminist without being an independent, "free of men" type woman. And that IT IS okay! I'm so happy I have found a song reflecting exactly how I feel on feminism.

[choytok]

the fact that she is releasing like a song every day is the best thing ever. its song porn

[mrmilkyway]

THE "MOTHER FUCKER" PART IS THE THINF SHE POSTED ON HER IG LIKE MONTHS AGO

[theaxman]

Me and my friend decided to do something. We would listen to each other's favourite band/singer. My friend would listen to Led Zeppelin, while I would listen to Marina and the Diamonds. They were quite different bands, and we thought it would be a good idea to listen to completely different music. And I have to say, that despite the fact that I love mostly 70s-90s rock, this is very good music. Well done Marina.

HIGH FIVE FOR NAILING THE KEY POINT OF FEMINISM: "You don't have to stay in the kitchen for your husband, but you can if you want to."

Marina seriously you've been evolving and i love this period just like your songs 

[Alderwood]

I have definitively decided why Froot songs grow on people so much: They're like a different language, that you don't understand at first, and then, once you have listened twice, or three times, individual phrases and verses and choruses get caught in your head, and suddenly you understand how incredible the song is, and BOOM you're singing the song for months

Marina Diamandis: Making cussin' sound classy since The Family Jewels.

*Marina has mastered the art of telling deeply sad stories with a smile on her face, * metaphorically speaking.

[ireallyneedtosneezebutican]

oh my god tjis song is my oxygen actually marina is my oxygen and other air components that make me live yet kills me as well

[MOVIEMASHUPS]

THE GUITAR IN THE BACKGROUND FROM 2:05 IS ORGASMIC

[thesurrealist]

I don't know how people say Electra Heart is better, Froot is a far matured version of Marina. Lyrically speaking all her songs are fucking genius. Can't wait for her next album

[CalvinFry]

For all the people who are convinced FROOT is a flop -_- just hear me out for a second. We live in a world full of ignorance it's hard to make it anywhere. Marina wrote the whole album herself which is definitely not easy to do on your own in the slightest especially nowadays with the amount of songs that are being made every day which not to mention are sounding the same and just repeating and ugh so tired. This is such a big risk and is one that will be beneficial. She's amazing and unbelievably talented. MUSIC DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT TWERKING IN THE CLUB WITH YOUR HOES it doesn't hurt to actually feel the music and understand everything about it. Marina did say she is happy with the amount of Diamonds (fans) she has. The way I look at Marina is that she is very original and so unique- far different than anything else in the charts these days Its like the Mona Lisa surrounded by paintings made by a newborn. Glad she's steering away from Commercializing her music and aiming towards REALNESS 

[franka]

I COULDN'T WAIT FOR THIS SONG TO COME OUT BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY SONG THAT IS EXPLICIT LOL...<3

[marianestifan]

IM FREAKING OUT WHY IS SHE RELEASING ALL THESE SONGS ALL OF THE SUDDEN I CAN'T HANDLE THIS WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING

[VengefulZed]

When she swears there's so much power behind it and I love it...
