Manic Pixie Dream Girl

Marin Ishida

I'm sorry I wasn't who you wanted

I'm sorry I took time away from

The search of a girl who doesn't exist

Lipstick in berry wasn't always what I went with

But it stained the end of your cigarette

And you called it art and called me a myth

You held my hand in the theater for a minute

But it wasn't enough, so you got up

And jumped into the movie screen

You fell in love with a manic pixie dream girl who looked

Perfect in every short and every word

Was pulled from a verse, manufactured

To captivate

You found her in a corner of a room, spotlighted

Looking unexcited like she didn't belong in this world

And you couldn't wait to uncover

What lied under her hardcore exterior

You never knew me, darling, you just saw my mess

Tragedies aren't always beautiful

But you loved me most when I was stressed

Something inside me makes me wanna dress

In something scarlet red

But you just watched me act like I had nothing left

You held my hand in the theater for a minute

But it wasn't enough, so you got up

And jumped into the movie screen

You fell in love with a manic pixie dream girl who looked

Perfect in every short and every word

Was pulled from a verse, manufactured

To captivate

You found her in a corner of a room, spotlighted

Looking unexcited like she didn't belong in this world

And you couldn't wait to uncover

What lied under her hardcore exterior

She wears a leather jacket as a barrier

And I own one too but she wears it better

'Cause damage is pretty only on screen but

No one

Out here will be your muse

No one is as unreal as you

We could've had this but you wanted a concept

I'm sorry I'm not a myth

But I exist

What I’ve always loved about music is that it always magically aligned itself with my life in some way. The songs on “Registered Myth” were selected based on the common themes they tackle; the dangers of romanticizing yourself, the loss of innocence as well as the ability to blindly believe, the acceptance of chaos and surrender of self-worth, and the rare moments of wisdom that pull you out just in time before you fall in too deep.
When I wrote these songs, I didn’t know who, what, or where I wanted to be after seeing the adult world didn’t work exactly how I imagined it. I had no idea what the thoughts I was putting into music were trying to say nor did I notice I was leaning on songwriting to process my emotions. It was like walking into your everyday enchanted forest where you expect fairies, nymphs, and princes, but you just see a bunch of humans wandering endlessly, everyone thinking the other is a mythical creature. So, you trick your eye into seeing yourself as the main character of an epic tale. You blissfully enjoy being chased by a prince who wants to break your curse, but once they do and they finally see you, you both realize you were only in love with the curse itself. You make dinner for the enchanted boy who visits you at midnight because his fascination excites you, knowing he won’t choose you in the end because you can never fully belong in his world. You ruin yourself on the inside and only let the beautiful scars show through, only to break down in paradise because nobody knows the real you. And when you finally escape the glass encasing of idealization, you’re still broken and a mess, but you’re not scared of seeing who you truly are. I hope when you listen to these songs you see a way out of your enchanted forest and find the courage to see yourself as a real person, not a just myth.
