St. Vincent - Marry Me Lyrics

She is tantalizingly pretty. Looking at her lips as "any" passes across them puts me into almost a trance like state. Then the outro which I can only describe as beauty connecting with chaos is brilliant! Annie you have gained yourself a new fan! P.S. your Music man guitar is incredible

you wrote a doosey---very cool

great voice

Annie thinks she isn't annie

Holy shit the meaning behind these lyrics is just too good for how simple they are.

The lyrics make me think that the topic of this song is depression:

''I'm not the carpet you walk on'' (Trying to convince yourself to be more confident)
''I'm not one small atomic bomb'' (What most people see as the stereotype for depression)
''I'm not any, any, any, any, any...anything at all''/''I'm not anyone you'll see'' (The feeling that you're not there, that you're ignored/a ghost)
''Now, now'' (Calming down)
''I'm not your yellow brick street'' (You're not whimsical at all sometimes/often times)
''You don't mean that, say you're sorry'' (Your beliefs kind of warp and become more angry, more nihilistic or pessimistic and you not only begin to blame yourself but others as well)

The usage of ''I'm not'' makes me think about depression the most, though. I relate to this a lot and today I just got the message.

I think you're dead on with that. And the chaos at the end of the song seems a lot like how depression feels.

Dayum! Two years later, and such a good interpretation!

Oh hey! I also like that when she says “any any any thing at all”, it also sounds like “Annie Annie Annie thing at all”. Making sound like she’s not herself!

blues magic girl beautiful one 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 and . . .

when you find muaic that makes you smile on the inside. Thanks Annie.

I'm brand new to St. Vincent. I just found out she is alumni from my high school in Dallas. Im ready to take the journey and am starting with this since its her first album. I'm typing this before I've heard a note :))))))))))

You should listen to her 03 and 06 EPs.

Lol, one down vote ~

you asked for it

I always thought it was "Any Annie, Any Annie"

+Kenneth Cramblit - But...there is only one Annie!

I wonder if that's intentional, as in "I'm not Annie".

I think Annie Clark intended the play on words with "I'm not any, any..." because it sounds like:
I'm not Annie, Annie, Annie... "  Just a theory.  Whata ya think?  Maybe?

Funny, I've thought the same thing. I'll be sure to ask her if we ever meet and become friends

Definitely.

I heard Laurel

I've risen in love. Beautiful music. Thank you.

Wonder if her saying "any" singled out over and over again was meant to be a double entendre for her own name; Annie. If so that's pretty clever writing.

That's the way I heard it.

I love this. 

Gotta love my nephew when i heard this on triple j he thought it was i know your mothers favourite dog

any , any , any , any, any, any ,any ♫

Genius
