MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Homewrecker [Official Audio]

Official Audio | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Homewrecker

Electra Heart is the girl you run into in the supermarket wearing a faux fur coat and sunglasses, leisurely picking through the avocado. Her cart is filled with champagne and strawberries and she doesn’t even care that you’ve been staring at her from the bakery aisle. She’s angsty, and you can tell that her phone conversation didn’t end well by the way she dramatically dropped her phone and wiped a solitary tear from her cheek. The same cheek that has a eyeliner-drawn heart on it.

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Every boyfriend is the one, until otherwise proven
The good are never easy, the easy never good
And love, it never happens like you think it really should
Deception and perfection are wonderful traits
One will breed love, the other, hate
You'll find me in the lonely hearts
Under 'I'm after a brand new start'

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't belong to anyone

[Chorus 1]
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker

[Verse 2]
Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomit
Boys and their toys and their six inch rockets
We're all very lovely 'til we get to know each other
As we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't belong to anyone

[Chorus 2]
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)

[Bridge]
I'm only happy when I'm on the run
I break a million hearts just for fun
I don't belong to anyone
I guess you could say that my life's a mess
But I'm still looking pretty in this dress
I'm the image of deception

[Verse 3]
When everything is life and death
You may feel like there's nothing left
Instead of love and trust and laughter
What you get is happy never after
But deep down all you want is love
The pure kind we all dream of
But we cannot escape the past
So you and I will never last

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the ru-u-un)
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I break a million hearts just for fu-u-un)
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the ru-u-un)
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I break a million hearts just for fu-u-un)

How To Be A Heartbreaker: Who are you?

Homewrecker: I’m you but stronger.

[MineneUryuuGod]

"Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomit, boys and their toys and their 6 inch rockets"
Is like my favorite part

[alyssabaker]

This character she created is so incredibly complex. You listen to her songs at first, realizing it's a satire bimbo-y character who uses men and as you listen more, you realize there's so much to the story than that and that she's actually very broken.

"I don't belong to anyone."
If you really listen, there is so much heartbreak. She is this way as a defense mechanism.

If only more writers would create characters with this much dimension to them.

[ajtamayo]

"The good are never easy, the easy never good" my favorite part ♥

Has anyone noticed that this is actually a sad song? I think It's not about being proud to be a homewrecker and bragging about breaking hearts, but more about not knowing what else to do but breaks hearts. About being so lost and drowned in that "version" of yourself, that self that everyone labels you as, that you can't escape it, you just function like that. And about the fact that even if you really want love, "the pure kind we all dream of", even if you might have actually found it, you'll run from it because you're so disillusioned about love that you convince yourself it will never last, that you'll be happier on the run. Cause hey, your life is such a mess, they must be calling you a homewrecker for a reason.

[dkreni]

This song comes into my head every time I find out someone I'm interested in is seeing someone else. 

[FLMG]

My favorite part is "when everything is life and death, you may feel like theres nothing left, instead of love and trust and laughter, what you get is happy never after, but deep down all you want is love, the pure kind we all dream of, but we cannot escape the past, so you and i will never last" all of that have never felt more true to me and how i am. I love marina. :)

[nightfury]

"They call me homewrecker"
"'Cause I'm a homewrecker"
She comes to believe it over the course of the song. That's so sad, and so relatable.

[matheusgeraldini]

no recent artist spoke about self-loathing so hard like marina did with electra heart.

[NostalgiCrazy]

Her songs always make me feel a mixed bag of emotions especially wanting to laugh and dance but also cry loll.

[xx_vmpirism]

I just noticed she doesn't have the heart on her cheek in this picture. She has a beauty mark instead, which she wore a lot during the "The Family Jewels" era, along with the black lipstick (was it black or dark purple? I could never tell.)

[minimatica]

Every Marina song is filled with comparitions to Melanie and Lana, even though this barely resembles anything related to them :/

[mark]

"But deep down all you want is love, the pure kind we all dream of" + "The good are never easy, the easy never good" probably my favourite quotes.

Marina will forever be a Queen in my heart. Her songs act as the jewels on her crown, reminding us all of the many lessons life has to offer.

[mahamaha-gfcb]

"The good are never easy, the easy never good." 💖

[hostileflesh]

Rhyming "one" and "proven" is something only Marina could pull off

[iatemycat]

Marina Is that type of person who makes you depressed and five seconds later like you're a whole diva

[lucteyssier]

The ENTIRE time, I was trying to figure out why the cars looked so weird. Then it dawned on me that the picture was taken in England, where cars drive on the opposite side of the rode as in the US, so what I was trying to see as the front of the cars was actually their backsides. I feel so accomplished with my life right now I don't even know what to do.

[sophiegarcia]

"Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomit." Best line,

[emilycooper]

"We're all very lovely til we get to know each other, as we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers"
