Anyway, good on her for calling out these men.  It's sickening how we either defend or ignore their disgusting behavior.

This has been a long standing theory amongst Marina fans for a while now. Its from her unreleased songs that the clues come from. For along time fans thought that 'Seventeen' was about Marina losing her virginity, that was until we heard 'Teen Idle' where she reveals by the age of 16 she'd already lost her virginity. When asked during her YouTube interview what happened on the day she turned 17 she simply replied that it wasn't appropriate for YT. So its most likely something to do with sex, but couldn't be the day she lost her virginity.
Also to further perpetuate that 'Seventeen' was not about losing her virginity 'Hermit the frog' is clearly about it with the 'Glass Balloons' being just that.
'Silver walls' is a song about Marina confronting someone that violently dominated her:
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, ba-a-aby
Of this pain I will not speak
Of the violent memories
On the silent movie screen
You have shown on repeat
This is one of the biggest clues as to what happened to her, and many fans believe this to be about the event she sings of in 'Seventeen', what she won't tell happened the day she turned seventeen.
