I'm Electra, I'm Electra Heart
Only living, living in the dark
Lights they blind me
Can we go back, go back to the start?
Where the holy father made his mark...

I'm Electra, I'm Electra Heart
Only living, living in the dark
Lights they blind me
Can we go back, go back to the start?
Where the holy father made his mark
Lights they blind me
Can we go back?
Li-i-i...
Li-i-i...
Lights they blind me
For forgiveness you could always pray
That the sickness, it could go away
Lights they blind me
At the altar, would you pay the price?
Would you give your, would you give your life?
Lights they blind me
For forgiveness
Li-i-i...
Li-i-i...
Lights they blind me
Lights they blind me
Li-i-i...
Li-i-i...
Lights they blind me

“Electra Heart” is the retroactive title track of Marina and the Diamond's second album. It's an electro-pop dance theme that serves as the last installment in Marina's Archetype series.
Marina, who is of Greek origin, explained her Electra Heart name to NME: “It's the perfect combination of Greek history and Hollywood pin-ups. ‘Electra' has the same meaning as my middle name, Lambrini – the one who is full of light. And ‘Heart' – it's all about being very shut off from love, and being too proud to admit it.”
