Soft To Be Strong

MARINA's song 'Soft To Be Strong' delves into the paradoxical nature of strength and vulnerability. The lyrics explore the idea that true strength comes from embracing one's softness and kindness, even when it is difficult. The opening lines, 'I know it’s hard to be soft / I know it hurts to be kind,' set the tone for the song, acknowledging the challenges that come with being gentle in a world that often values toughness. The artist suggests that when love is lost, it is often replaced by fear, but this fear is merely a disguise for deeper emotions.

The chorus reinforces the central message: 'You have to be soft to be strong.' MARINA emphasizes that real strength is found in vulnerability and sincerity. The line 'Finally I feel the fear is gone / I found out / Love has to be soft to be strong' indicates a personal revelation and growth. The artist has come to understand that love and strength are intertwined with softness and that embracing this softness can lead to overcoming fear.

In the verses, MARINA reflects on her past experiences and the lessons learned. She speaks of transforming bitterness into sweetness and healing a broken heart. The lyrics 'Somebody hurt me long ago / And though to heal a heart is slow / It’s just a consequence of pain / There is no use in laying blame' highlight the importance of forgiveness and moving forward. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to find strength in their vulnerability and to love without fear or shame.
