Before the official release of her album, “LOVE + FEAR”, Marina wrote a poem consisting of lyrics from each track. The poem was officially released as a trailer for the album on March 8, 2019.
I know it's hard to be soft
I know it hurts to be kind
I know that when love is lost it’s only fear in disguise
But I still believe that the world is beautiful
And I still believe that only the weak ones are cruel
I know so many boys and girls
People all across the world
And we walk and talk and think alike
And we all cry the same tears at night
You don't know me like you think you do
Ever since my dreams changed, came crashing down like a paper plane
And nothing stays the same but all I know is life is strange
I carry along a feel of unease
I want to belong like the birds and the trees
But I'm a machine, an emotional being
And I smile with tears in my eyes, waving goodbye to the suckers in my rearview mirror
’Cause true hearts, they never lie
I like to think about how we all look from afar
People driving fancy cars look like beetles to the stars
The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong
And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard
You're not living in this world alone
We all live in the same universe where the stars collide as the planets turn
Find me in another place and time
All of the days that we spent apart
My love is a planet revolving your heart
I can see the flowers now, and the greenery
I take a breath of air and I feel free
No longer too afraid
Love + Fear
