I had a feeling when I met you
Didn't think liars' eye came in blue
I smell a little bit of danger
And got my heart handcuffed to a stranger
I am a fool to not cut the ties
That bind the eyes that loved you

Blindfold me

My mother says, run as fast as you can
Narrow roads lead to narrow minded men
My skin is sizzling, it might have been you
But you were busy walking in your daddy's shoes
Love is cruel
When you realize that you give your life
To someone who has given up on you

Blindfold me

I'll fake it and say I think a lot of you
Regardless of what you did
And what I didn't do
Jealousy made you want to own me
And that was what left us both a little lonely
I'm smart, I'm dumb
I am rich, I am poor
I am fat, I am thin
This type of love don't wanna win

Nobody's gonna blindfold me
Blindfold me
Blindfold me

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
