No Good
Dr. Albern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't tell you cause I don't want to
I've been running, leaving and hiding
Grieving and crying
Coming up with reasons why love has got no meaning
I'll keep fighting
Baby I'm no good
I'm no good for you
Your aloofness turns to bruises
If I had warned you you wouldn't choose this
I wanna change, I wanna learn
I want to grow
But I'm not okay
I'm too afraid to be alone
Baby I'm no good
I'm no good for
No good
I'm no good for
No good
I'm no good for you
I'm no good for you
Too many cuts with too many knives
Too many no's, too many times
It's always the same
It's never today
I beg you to stay and then push you away
Too many lows
So I'm getting high
I said that I'll stop
But that was a lie
Too many cuts
With too many knives
Too many no's too many times
I'm no good for
No good
I'm no good for
No good
I'm no good for
No good
I'm no good for you
I'm no good for you
In "No Good," by Dr. Albern, the lyrics express a sense of inner turmoil and self-awareness about the singer's inability to be good for someone else. The song reflects on the singer's struggles with intimacy, fear of being alone, and a pattern of pushing people away. Despite recognizing their own shortcomings, the singer still longs for a change and growth.
The opening lines convey a sense of vulnerability and desire, with the singer expressing a strong need for someone, but also an unwillingness to admit it. The following lines depict a series of actions where the singer has been running, leaving, hiding, grieving, and crying, trying to rationalize why love feels meaningless. They acknowledge their ongoing fight with themselves, admitting that they are no good for their partner.
The second verse highlights the damaging impact of the singer's aloofness, causing bruises in their relationship. The lyrics suggest that if there had been a warning, the partner might not have chosen to be with them. Here, the singer expresses a desire to change, learn, and grow, but they are held back by their fear of being alone. They acknowledge that they are not okay and too afraid to face solitude.
The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is no good for their partner, repeated multiple times. The bridge delves into a series of self-destructive behaviors, indicated by cuts and knives, denoting emotional wounds and pain. The repetition of "too many lows" suggests a cycle of negativity, where the singer promises to stop but fails to do so.
Overall, "No Good" captures the internal struggle and self-awareness of the singer, who acknowledges their inability to be a healthy presence in a relationship, simultaneously yearning for change and growth.

90'larda şarkılara ulaşmak bu kadar kolay değildi biz radyolardan filan istek yapıp dinleyebiliyorduk bu sebeple kıymetliydi, güzeldi ve unutulmuyordu. Şimdi sadece parmaklarımızın ucunda böyle kolayca tüketip bitiriyoruz hep yeniler çıkıyor ama bizim için bunların yeri ayrı kalacak çünkü duyduğumuzda o günleri yeniden hissediyoruz.
