Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Teen Idle

"Teen Idle" Is A Song By Welsh Singer-Songwriter Marina And The Diamonds Taken From Her Second Studio Album Electra Heart. Marina Talked About This Song In An Interview "I Originally Got The Idea For The Song Seeing A Jumper At A Fashion Show That Had Huge Holes On It With ‘Teen Idle’ Emblazoned Across The Front. Lyrically It’s A Strange Song As It Crosses Polar Opposite Themes – Innocence And Darkness. I Had Waited A Long Time To Write That Song And It Helped Me Acknowledge Some Experiences That I’d Had In My Teenage Years. Ages 16-20 Were Kind Of Blackout Years For Me- Like I Didn’t Even Live Them Or They Didn’t Belong To My Life. I Don’t Really Remember Them. It’s Most Definitely One Of My Fan Base’s Favorite Songs On ‘Electra Heart’. I’m Really Proud Of It. The Nicest Thing About Being An Artist Is Realizing That A Feeling Or Experience You Had That You Always Thought Was Really Obscure Or Embarrassing Is In Fact Very Common And That We All Deal With Pretty Much The Same Stuff In One Way Or Another. "AllMusic Gave A Pick To The Song Along With "Primadonna" And "Bubblegum Bitch" Calling It A 'Lana Del Rey-Inspired' Track. Del Rey Herself Has Publicly Expressed Her Liking Of The Song.
