(HD) Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no, no, no, no that old time fire is gone
It's not so much the things you say, love
It's what you don't say I'm afraid of
I got the feelin' I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it it's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, no, no, no you don't smile the same
Oh no, no, no, no like you been hidin' pain
I love you so much, I could taste it
But girl, your eyes tell me it's wasted
I got the feelin' I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it it's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my oh no, oh no no
Oh no, baby I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin' that I'm gonna die, girl
I got the feelin' oh yes I do girl
I got the feelin' that I'm losin' you
The song "Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds, written by Neil Diamond, is a poignant reflection on the often-unspoken emotions of a woman in love. The song starts with the singer expressing concern that something is wrong in their relationship, and though her lover is not saying anything, she can feel that the passion between them has faded. She is worried that she will eventually hear the words "goodbye" from her lover, and that knowledge is already making her feel like she is dying. She loves him so much, but his eyes tell her that their relationship is already over, and she is struggling to come to terms with it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh no, no, no" several times, conveying the singer's sense of despair and helplessness. She can feel that something is slipping away from her grasp, but she doesn't know how to fix it. The refrain "I got the feelin', I'm hearin' goodbye" is particularly haunting, as the singer is not sure whether her lover has actually spoken those words, or if she is projecting her own fears and anxieties onto him. In any case, she is convinced that their love is doomed, and that thought is consuming her.
Overall, "Oh No!" is a gripping portrayal of the uncertainty and sadness that can come with romantic love. The singer is struggling to hold on to a relationship that she knows is slipping away, and the fear of losing her lover is already causing her pain. The song is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most painful experiences in life are the ones that are hardest to talk about.

Lyrics:
Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip
Don't want cash, don't want card
Want it fast, want it hard
Don't need money, don't need fame
I just want to make a change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I know exactly what I want, and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk, and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause, I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best
If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal
It has no appeal
It has no appeal
It has no appeal
It has no appeal
It has no appeal
I know exactly what I want, and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk, and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no
I know exactly what I want, and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk, and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, gonna die, die, die, die
I know exactly what I want, and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk, and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no
Da-da-dum, da-da-dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da-dum, da-da-dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Da-da-dum, da-da-dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no

@S.Y F like Ivan Rebroff can do Bass to Countertenor. Those people are rare.
Clingy Bish
She doesnt really sing that low on the chorus, she just brings up so much vocal weight with her when she sings in her middle range and it produces a unique tone.
Brigit Gabrielle
When she messed up I just wanted to melt. And her smile... There's isn't a single valid point that proves Marina isn't a queen.
