MARINA - Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land (Official Visual) 

oh yeah this era is serving

Marina really said: you guys are in a crisis, I'm on my way

She literally took all these deep philosophical thoughts she had and created an absolute banger with them 😭

I described this to my bestie as "witch pop" and I stand by that. It speaks to my SOUL.

she's serving, your honor

Bops like this are why Marina is my fave pop artist in the world right now. LOVE this tune

"you are not here to conform". this should be basically carved into every single educational building with huge letters and kids from earliest possible age should be made to understand it. love this song so much, it also fits my idea of what being "yourself" truly means, a witness, an observer. you are not someone who is making decisions or someone who is in charge of their life, but you are something that knows it exists and simply experiences reality exactly the same way your brain perceives it. fascinating.

2:26 "from the heart of malaysia, to the dark himalayas, from the day you were born, you are not here to conform" Definitely the best line of the whole song

and when the world most needed her, she returned

Marina is literally a pokemon forever evolving

I just love how our whole generation is going through a spiritual awakening/ changing. This perfectly depicts how we all feel at this moment in history. U tell ‘em, Marina

As someone with religious trauma, this was weirdly comforting for me.

you are never too old to base your whole personality on her

her philosophical era is HERE

LETS CHANT IT PEOPLE "You dont have to be like everybody else, You dont have to fit into the norm. YOU ARE NOT here to conform. I am here to take a look inside myself, Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm." This mostly means that you dont have to try and fit in into the current definition of whats "Normal" by the Orthodox. Instead, unleash and express your true self and create your own definition of whats "Normal" to you. Break Boundaries and Taboo's and be yourself relentlessly and unapologetically, Even if it will cause rage. Remember, *you are the eye of the storm*. You are much more powerful than what people think, And DO NOT let any people control you or define what you are, because YOUR THE ONLY ONE who can do that.

I don’t normally like this type of music but Marina does it really well!!! Σ’αγαπάμε εδώ στην Ελλάδα!!! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

“i’m the observer, i’m a witness of life” she served wisdom here

Marina putting resolutions of existential crises into songs like it’s nothing now

this is going to be a classic someday, I can feel it

marina is such a genius like her lyricism and word play is out of this world. you don’t see that in pop music a lot and i love how she brings something new and beautiful to listen to

Marina looks like a super hero with the power of consciousness

she doesn’t have one bad song, it’s actually insane

literally shifting

Lyrics "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land" Our ancestors had to fight to survive Just so we could have a chance of a life We're not here so we can blow it all We could bear witness to the rise and the fall Ancient dreams in a modern land I'm trying to get back as fast I can Back to a time before I had form Back to a time before I was born You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look inside myself Recognize that I could be the eye The eye of the storm I am not my body Not my mind Or my brain Not my thoughts or feelings I am not my DNA I am the observer I'm a witness of life I live in the space between the stars and the sky What's your purpose Why were you put on Earth You could be lost But you belong to the world We're now living in a seminal age The walls are being broken And we're ready for change Ancient dreams in a modern land I'm trying to get back as fast I can Back to a time before I had form Back to a time before I was born You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look inside myself Recognize that I could be the eye The eye of the storm I am not my body Not my mind Or my brain Not my thoughts or feelings I am not my DNA I am the observer I'm a witness of life I live in the space between the stars and the sky From the heart of Malaysia To the dark Himalayas From the day you were born You are not here to conform You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look inside myself Recognize that I could be the eye The eye of the storm I am not my body Not my mind Or my brain Not my thoughts or feelings I am not my DNA I am the observer I'm a witness of life I live in the space between the stars and the sky

Stanning Marina 7 years ago is the best decision I made

“You don’t have to fit into the norm, you are not here to conform”

This song is so shifting coded

тут большинство комментариев зарубежные и мне немного страшно писать это, учитывая нынешнюю ситуацию в мире, но я просто хочу сказать, что обожаю Марину и её песни. мне жаль что нашла её творчество столь поздно, но спасибо тик току ::). песни, которые выходили 10 лет назад здесь, «Oh no» например, также запали мне в душу. мне всего лишь 14, я боюсь этого мира, но пока есть эта песня я буду продолжать барахтаться.

Marina pipeline: depressed teen --> depressed lady ---> mother earth

This feels like a Marina anime opening I love it tbh

This is not a song. This is a REVELATION.

still 2024 and this song is in my mind all the time!! 💗

no one makes music like marina and that’s why she’s literally so fucking elite

She is the best, She has rocked in Purge The Poison and feels like this is something on top-level!!

Marina wrote a HUGE therian bop and I love it

Marina's songs are all so relatable and I think we can all agree.

i love the way all of us know marina is gonna kill us

It’s the way Marina writes such deep and relevant lyrics but still manages to make it a whole BOP. Her mind. Her impact.

As a otherkin I relate with this song

I actually hadn't heard of her before seeing her open for Panic at the Disco but she went from unknown to me to like top 5 artists I'm digging right now. This song has been in my head all day and the lyrics are so deep and universal 🤩

This is my new personality.

Not Marina trying to tell us she’s a literal ✨goddess✨ when we all new the whole time👌🏼

this is so insane... this song literally describes the heart of my existence. i've never identified with this time, although i'm thankful for all the possibilities it offers, i feel like i was meant to be born much earlier. humanity is forgetting what their existence is supposed to be about. also lately i've been thinking a lot about the fact that the only thing about myself that really feels like me is my passive conciousness, just observing. somehow i feel like i was not meant to have a life... it just feels like a (sometimes really annoying) side effect of my existence. this probably sounds really weird to most people, but it's just how i feel. (i don't know if the feeling i described is actually a spiritual thing, something all spiritually awakened people experience (several comments here seem to state that), for me, it just feels like a very personal thing.)

"You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform" This person gets me for real! 🤩

Ok I'm here for this philosophical psychadelic punk era

can we appreciate how lucky we are of knowing the existence of Marina and her music? I mean, literally a blessing, there's people who doesn't have this privilege.

I love how this song is basically like "we're dissociating but godlike."

Every therian on shorts using this song

i’m basing my whole personality in this, idc if i’m too old i’m doing it

Ok MARINA we get it, you can literally never make a bad song.

“You don’t have to be like everybody else, you don’t have to fit into the norm” are the most meaningful lyrics to younger people as most of the time if your different you get bullied so your pressured to be like everyone else.

this is so shifting coded

Marina is in her psychedelic era

marina produces literal bops with aesthetic music videos while also being an intellectual with her lyrics. queen me thinks.

Being a therian/otherkin be like: "I am not my body, not my mind or my brain. Not my thoughts and feelings i am not my DNA." -This song

the way she says sky makes me levitate

Marina: a ~ Society immediately starts crying in a corner

Marina in FROOT: We’re animals Marina in L+F: Humans? Marina in ADML: I am a weighless entity 👁

Song gives me chills

this is something i will listen to when i wanna feel like im in an edit

She should be in a songwriting hall of fame, I mean.... THE LYRICS this era is giving us!

A friend wouldn't stop talking about Marina so I searched more of her music, best decision of my life.

How do you mix such deep stuff with such a good beat? An absolute JAM that makes us feel good about ourselves?? Best artist I've ever listened to :)

As a shifter, i adopt this song into our community

"You don't have to be like everybody else, You don't have to fit into the norm, I'm not here to conform."

WHY ISNT THIS TRENDING THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING OF SOMETHING NEW

Honestly, she's giving prophet vibes and I'm living for it. Like a modern day Pythia.

"I am not my body, my mind or my brain. I am not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA." I agree. I will always be like this.

This is genuinely the best song that exists in this timeline.

i genuinely believe that marina is mother nature in a human form

Being an INTJ her songs are just the thoughts that goes in my mind and the work she has to do in order to present introverted intuition 'Ni' to the world with the help of her songs is just lit. Her songs scream heavy 'Ni'!

I love how meaningful her lyrics always are!

i love how much marina is interacting with us lately :)

Marina is gonna release one of the most iconic album of this decade and it just started, thanks queen.

If having an existential crisis felt like happiness

I... I don't even have words. I don't even have words for how much I relate to this song.

She is like the anti-pop pop singer of all times. You read the lyrics and it could fit perfectly for rock and metal.

Only Marina can make songs (even album-Love+fear) about human society, personality, accepting who you are in a very catchy, unique way. Marina does your head hurt of wearing crown everytime you make a new song or album 👸

WE GOIN DOWN WITH THIS ONE

The chorus perfectly describes how I feel when I dissociate, like it's uncannily similar. I feel like I'm just hitching a ride on someone else and the longer I watch them try to function, the more frustrated I get for them that everything's going wrong and we can't fix it. Life's happening around them, but the things we can change don't fix anything. Only thing I can do is talk to them and try to get us through everything, day by day. I'm both the passenger and the driver yet I feel like neither, both, and nowhere near the front seats. I'm not them, I'm not me, I'm not this body, mind, or brain, but I'm still thinking, therefore I still am? Only thing I can do is witness what's happening, stuck between the stars and the sky, and cope as we can. Thankfully, that's happened less often and I'm getting more control and autonomy, but damn god damn, if these lyrics don't bring back old weird feelings...

In the age of symbolism, sarcasm and metaphors, these lyrics are damn straight. Fucking love it.

Dude. Marina gets it. “I am not my body, not my mind or my brain. I am not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA.” She recognizes that *everything* we perceive, in its totality, is pure consciousness. We are witnesses to life. We are not our ego, we are not our body, we are pure consciousness observing a life in this specific reality.

The chorus (and the whole lyrics really) is proof that you can convey a meaningful message using simple words.

Someone said that this song reminds them of me😍

HELP THIS IS HER BEST MISIC VIDEO PERIOD

Ok why am I getting Family Jewels vibes, is it just me??? It kind of has those vibes but much more evolved and mature, as Marina has really grown as a person!!! I'm so proud of you Marina for how far you've come!!! Also legit she does not look any older than those days, she is still simply flawless

I’m a therian and this song just amazing like I am not my body mind or brain and then that stuff

Marina❤❤❤

Marina didn't need to slap this hard every single time but yet she does

no you don’t understand.. i’m obsessed

Stan marina

THIS ALBUM DESERVED BETTER!

I hope people will finally admit one day, that Marina is one of the best songwriters ever 💖

Marina rlly came back 2 save all the teen idles she created 10 yrs ago :,)

Never related to a song more than this.

As a transmaculine person, this song and more precisely the lyrics "I'm not my body, not my mind or my brain, not my thoughts or felling, i'm not my DNA" mostly is so relatable. I know it isn't the real theme of the music but it relates to me that way..

this is literally one of her best songs periodt.

She is really a role model to everyone.

the lyrics, the vocals, the video. everything about this is amazing

she is such an icon omg
