(HD) Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no, no, no
Baby, something's wrong
Oh no, no, no
That old time fire's gone
It's not so much things you say, love
It's what you don't say I am 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
You don't smile the same
Oh 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
Oh no, baby
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin'
That I'm gonna die
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
Do 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 wanna make a change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just want a 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
Oh no
Oh
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 posses 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-fig filed prophecy
Oh
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
I know exactly who 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
Oh no
Oh
I’m gonna live
I’m gonna die
I’m gonna fail
I’m gonna fly
I’m gonna live
I’m gonna fly
I’m gonna live
I’m gonna die-die-die-die
I know exactly what I want and who I wanna 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
Oh no
Oh (that but x2 can’t keep typing that whole thing)
