Marina & The Diamonds - Miss Y Lyrics






I feel like a substitute sittin' on the sideline,
Clicking every single finger waiting for the right time,
I feel like a substitute sitting pretty in my prime,
I'm about to play the game 'cause I'm running out of time

[CHORUS:]
Drop your knees to the floor,
Hands to the sky,
Give a round of applause for the great Miss Y
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here

Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
and the lights, they get stronger the longer that you have to wait,
for the honor, the honor, to be great.

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh,
Oh-oh oh, oh.

I feel like I'm stuck inside a race, feel like I'm catching up,
Oh, Marina what a shame you didn't make the upper cut!
Feel like I'm stuck inside a race, feel like I'm catching up,
Oh Marina, we're so sorry, but you didn't make the cut.

[CHORUS:]
Drop your knees to the floor,
Hands to the sky,
Give a round of applause for the great Miss Y

I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
and the lights, they get stronger the longer that you have to wait,
for the honor, the honor, to be great.

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh,
Oh-oh oh, oh...

    I started listening to Marina in February and now it's the first time I'm listening to this song. it's amazing ahaha

    E.... H....

    If thats the case, you found this song pretty quickly since it's a leak

    E.... H....

    @Kia Nueh no, wait, what do you mean? this song was uploaded by this channel in 2012 and I started listening to her in February this year😅

    E.... H....

    @E H i mean it's a leak, so most people that are into Marina don't know about it until they come across it by chance. I've been following *Mother Marina* (what I call her) since 2013 and i found this gem I think 2? years later

    E.... H....

    @Kia Nueh oh! I'm sorry!! yeah, I really love her and last night I spend 2 hours on listening to her unreleased song until I found Candy and I fell asleep crying

    Snippets of the final version of this song leaked a couple weeks ago. I'm really hoping the full thing gets out soon. It's wonderful.

  28. F.... ....

    Here because LOVE+FEAR disappointed me..

    F.... ....

    I like the concepts and some of the lyrics, but the music overall just seems so tame after everything else she has done. Consider, "If women were, religiously, recognized, sexually, we wouldn't have, to feel the need, to who our ass-ets to be free." She brilliantly addresses the church's complicity in the feminine construct as lesser and other. Now compare that to singing about blocking someone online. Ugh. I hate to say it, but it almost seems like she has finally sold her soul and become a pop star. I wish her all the best, but I will not be listening to her new stuff.

    F.... ....

    T Paul Alex Completley agree!!

    F.... ....

    As much as I *_hate_* to admit it, LOVE+FEAR kind of disappointed me too, I really like handmade heaven, orange trees and to be human, and all the other songs are ok.

  29. A.... ....

    This song sounds sooo Marina :D if you know what I mean

  30. S.... H....

    Such a slytherin song

  31. f.... b....

    She wrote this because she was sending out her demos and everyone was telling her that she wasn't good enough. Through all that, she kept going, she kept fighting to have what she has now. She took a break recently because she felt that she wasn't doing it for herself and her own pleasure anymore but more for the fans and clout. She didn't want it to become a job so that's why she didn't release anything in a long time before the album 'FROOT'. This song is about her overcoming all of the disapproval she got, it's not Electra heart, it's not miss y, its marina, she's talking about herself.

  32. h.... i....

    the light doesn’t make me stronger they get stronger

  33. H.... ....

    It’s been 8 years since i started loving this song and I still relate to every word

  34. u.... m....

    actually marina: "sitting like a substitute"

    my mind:
    don't say it
    don't say it
    don't say it
    don't say it
    don't say i-

    me, every time i hear this song: i feel like a prostitute ✨

    u.... m....

    Lovely 👁️👄👁️ 😌💅

  35. W.... V....

    I'll never understand why this went unreleased, its definitely my favorite song by her and I wish I could spend money on it.

  36. M.... K....

    It’s been a little over a year since I used to play this song on repeat and have mental breakdowns to it I’m so happy that things did change and that I’m at a totally different phase in my life now and that this song allowed me to heal lol just another one of the reasons why I love Marina

  37. D.... M....

    Ugh I remember listening to this when I was in middle school. Memories

  38. T.... C....

    superstar!!!

  39. L.... B....

    if youre reading this you should be watching her latest videos and music, this is an old song what are you even doing here?

    L.... B....

    Old is gold sweetie.😜😂

    L.... B....

    Appreciating this old bop

  40. K.... ....

    The lyric 'I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here only to feel like nobody' sits so heavy with me

  41. P.... N....

    The same base of superstar

  42. S.... N....

    i love the fan-remastered version but this original version is something else. it redefines art.

  43. L.... P....

    I'm sad she didn't release this song, it's such a bop :(

  44. D.... M....

    Its 2019 and I just found this song. This is the best unreleased song!

  45. d.... ....

    the way she said POAR MARINUH GUESS U DIDN'T GET THE OTHER CUAT i felt that

  46. d.... e....

    i fucking love this song

  47. J.... M....

    gonorrhoea what a shame you didn't make the other cut

  48. o.... b....

    Give me your number

  49. D.... ....

    I was “miss y” in music college 😔
    This song is seriously clever though. Double and triple meanings man. Miss Y: in math “Y” is a random number we don’t know. Just like she felt like a random number without a name. But miss “Y” also as in miss WHY AM I HERE. If you actually do put your knees to the floor and hands to the sky, your body actually makes a “Y” shape! Also this “Miss Y” was gonna be a new Electra Heart archetype. Usually with personalities like Electra Heart, their toxic, narcissistic behaviour comes from weaknesses and inadequacies they feel to an extreme level (in this case “miss y”) and they aim to eradicate that hurt as quickly as possible to become “great”. So say these are two personalities in Marina’s head. Miss Y would be the hurt vulnerable personality and the lights would “blind” her turning her into Electra Heart “lights they blind me” (so clever!) Electra Heart would be a DIRECT result of “miss y”. “The lights they get stronger, the longer I have to wait” which means that basically the longer she has to wait for fame, the more she continues turning into EH then they blind her. She doesn’t have fame but once she becomes EH she is blinded by fame.

    Now the irony in all of this is that Marina was gonna do EH as a side project and have an album called “Die Life” as her second album which was gonna have Miss Y on it but her manager said she had to do EH. So in essence, EH DID kill Miss Y like she intended and Miss Y never ended up making the cut.
    SHE FULL ON PREDICTED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

  50. A.... R....

    No, I am definitely not hearing "the lights make me stronger". I am only hearing "get stronger". I even checked this on most lyric sites and they all agree that Marina is singing "get stronger" and not "Make me stronger".

  51. B.... B....

    Constantly me @ school

  52. P.... P....

    I want this song in an album that she'll release in the future, this song just captured my heart

  53. K.... R....

    Why wasn't this a massive hit :O

  54. �.... �....

    *im miss y am I here?*
    me when I go to parties

  55. J.... ....

    This is so teen idle

  56. i.... w....

    i really love the 'lights' lyric (I've seen different people type it in different ways – I personally hear it as "The lights, they grow stronger", as a few others type it for lyrics [it makes sense that no one is totally sure given that she never exactly released the lyrics]), as it can be taken in two ways, in the same sense as "Lights, they blind me!" from EH can be.

    The first way is success. We associate lights with glitz, glam, glory – the word "limelight". The lights could be her motivation, the symbol of her fame or her aspiration /to/ be famous.

    The other was is death. There are a lot of clichés associating light with the moment right before someone dies. Death is, quite obviously, the opposite of success.

    Or perhaps success is the death of Miss Y and Electra – perhaps it's both.

  57. j.... j....

    I can't live without this😍😍

  58. M.... N....

    Why does this sound like Brittany Spears Circus at the begging

  59. z.... u....

    I love Marina's music so much

  60. A.... J....

    Every time I go to a party: Y Am I here?

  61. O.... l....

    This is from Electra Heart right?

    O.... l....

    Orestis lbs unreleased EH song yes

  62. H.... F....

    this song describes me so much. even though she was writing specifically for her own situation it also fits with my entire life. I truly feel like a substitute in my own life.

  63. L.... ....

    For Pete's sake this song is phenomenal, why the heck doesn't she properly release it? Same goes for Scab and Plaster and a bunch of other of her "oldies"...

  64. S.... M....

    Story of my life, marina is a genius

  65. J.... K....

    I love her so much why I found her just a few weeks ago?!!😟😑💗

  66. S.... W....

    I love this soooooooong ♡♡♡

  67. W.... C....

    This is me. I am Miss Y. Never important enough for anything, always missing out on everything, and all of it for nothing.

  68. C.... I....

    DROP YOUR KNEES TO THE FLOOR


    HANDS TO THE SKY



    GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE



    GREAT

    MISS





    Y

  69. I.... G....

    What if, Miss Y is Electra Heart before she started to turn into "Electra Heart" 🤔💁

  70. B.... O....

    Bitch I am so ready for album four 👏❤️

  71. Y.... N....

    why isnt this on an album???

  72. b.... ....

    Every time she says “drop your knees to the floor, hands to the sky” I put my hands in the air and then when she says “give a round of applause for the great miss y” it do a round of applause :^)

  73. T.... I....

    THIS IS SUCH A BOPPPP I CANT STOP REPLAYING IT

  74. d.... ....

    I'm miss y did I not listen to this song earlier? It's amazing

  75. S.... 0....

    "The lights get stronger the longer that you have to wait " That's why Electra got blind

  76. H.... C....

    "drop your knees to the floor, hands to the sky, give a round of applause for the great miss y" theory confirmed: jesus is miss y

  77. M.... a....

    Bussy Y

    M.... a....

    Marina and The Devil I see you everywhere. God bless

  78. D.... ....

    Why isn't this on Spotify??? it's so good.

    D.... ....

    K.P Miller it’s not on iTunes either. It’s not an official song. It’s unreleased, why would it be on Spotify

  79. T.... M....

    *constantly on repeat*

  80. M.... N....

    This song sounds like circus by Britney Spears for like 3 seconds

  81. z.... ....

    my mood everyday

  82. E.... V....

    Amo essa musica d+

  83. G.... M....

    Impressão minha ou essa música é sobre uma guria que foi pra balada, ficou sozinha, julgada e no final das contas foi fazer um boquete em um cara qualquer?

  84. J.... K....

    I feel so called out this applies to my life too much

  85. G.... M....

    This describes how I feel :(

  86. p.... ....

    This sounds like Circus by Britney Spears kinda

  87. n.... t....

    chicken every single finger

  88. E.... D....

    marina pls come to brazil

  89. E.... D....

    muti bom

  90. N.... ....

    I don't know why but I keep thinking that if this song had a music video it would be set at a fashion show and like Marina is one of the models but she's not sure why she's part of it? She doesn't feel like she fits or something along those lines. I can imagine her getting ready behind the stage and during the part where she says "Poor Marina we're so sorry you didn't make the upper cut" it's her other fellow models talking to her.

  91. A.... G....

    and what if it's not miss Y for why but for you, Miss You. She's lost because she probably broke up with her ex boyfriend and she felt lost 'cause he's not there and simply Miss You idk

    A.... G....

    Adrián Granero its supposed to be miss youth. It was gonna be apart of the idle teen archetype. And it’s supposed to be miss y so it’s “miss, why am I here”

    A.... G....

    Good theory but I think it's miss y am I here

  92. L.... G....

    MARINA IS MY GODDESS.

  93. C.... ....

    Literally what happened to me this week
    “Oh this Okay... not my favorite marina song tho”
    *singing loudly and dancing like a whore*
    “OH MARINA WHAT A SHAME YOU DIDNT MAKE THE OTHER CUT”

    C.... ....

    CrushingOnChloe it’s upper cut. The video got it wrong. So you don’t even know the actual lyrics lmaoo

  94. A.... W....

    Die Life song
