No
Confetti's Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro:
Like it or not, I fill the room like confetti
I’ve had enough of industry fucks

Verse 1:
Suck sum’ heavy won’t ya
Cuz everything sounds recycled when the labels poach ya
Road kill for the aging vulture

Pray ya mans he better stick to culture
(shut the fuck up man)
What’s the drop? No love
Need the dance floor moving kick the tempo up
Got a tree full of lemons just to juice a couple finished
Then replenish while the others decompose and we forget em

Chorus:
No you don’t want no problems
No problems with me
Don’t fuck with a puppet, with no strings
No you don’t want no problems
No problems with me
Don’t fuck with a puppet, with no strings

Verse 2:
Better find your people
The eyes wide, inside, outside people yeah
The world got a lot of evil
If you dope enough don’t open up your wounds to the needle
Cuz these motherfuckin beetles and roaches
Don’t want the commotion
Don’t like when your famous
Cuz old money say when new wave is
And bitches hate when you don’t know where your place is

CHORUS
Bridge:
Got no strings,
You won’t be the boss of me,
I won’t be,
Something i’m not supposed to be,
Like it or not, I fill the room like confetti

Chorus:
No you don’t want no problems
No problems with me
Don’t fuck with a puppet, with no strings
No you don’t want no problems

No problems with me
Don’t fuck with a puppet, with no strings

Overall Meaning

In Confetti's song "No," the lyrics speak to the artist's frustration with the music industry and how it can sometimes make artists feel like puppets with no creative control. The chorus repeats the phrase "No you don’t want no problems, no problems with me, don’t fuck with a puppet, with no strings” as a warning to others not to mess with the artist, who is standing up for their own artistic vision and self-identity. The artist also references the pressure to be commercially successful, as shown in the line "need the dance floor moving kick the tempo up."

Furthermore, the first verse speaks to the issue of labels taking and recycling artists' sounds to make them more mainstream and marketable. The line "road kill for the aging vulture" suggests that the industry discards artists once they are no longer profitable. The artist urges their listeners to avoid getting sucked into this cycle and instead stay true to their own creative passions.

In the bridge, the artist declares that they have "no strings" and won't let anyone else be the boss of them. This highlights their determination to defy industry pressures and stay true to their own artistic vision.
