The song was written and produced by Marina herself.

Silver Walls leaked on Tumblr on June 4, 2012, along with ten other home demos and one 2010 cover of Perfect Stranger in a fan-made EP titled "Give Me the Money!", a line taken from Where Diamonds Grow.

Note:

The song abruptly cuts off as Marina sings the word "cannonball". She has stated this is the intended ending of the song.[citation needed] A "full" version, in which she finishes the lyric, and sings a second chorus, is a fan-made edit.

Lyrics

Ooh
Ooh

Hey man, hey man, aim your fist at me
You win, I lose 'cause you're muscly
Come on, come on and put your money
Where my mouth is, baby

Of this pain I will not speak
Of the violent memories
On the silent movie screen
You have shown on repeat

You are my silver, silver, silver wall
Watched me slip and you let me fall
Bigger the risk, bigger the gain
Bigger the break and the bigger the pain

Ow, ow, ow, whoa-ow
Ow, ow, ow, whoa-ow

Hey man, hey man, you're a superstar
I will reflect you when I fall far
Anger, anger, indescribable
Hit me like a cannonba-
