You're No Good
KMFDM/Zombie Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoever the hell you think I am
Bring me to my knees
Let me be myself again
Forgive, forget
Hold it against me in contempt
Drowning me in tears
Bitter salt that knows no fear
I'm better off alone
Keep to myself so nobody knows
Misery follows me everywhere I go
Hello hello I'm back again
Run run run run while you can
Hello hello I'm back it's me
The mother load of misery
You're no good
Misery follows me wherever I go
Deranged in paranoia
I am just no use at all
Don't count on me
I won't be responsible
Punishing discontent
Gotta get a grip
My mind's working overtime
Twisting in a tourniquet
Ticking like a timebomb
Another pound of flesh
Red alert emergency
I'm headed for a crash
To have to hold
All in good time
I'd ruin that too
I'm better off alone
Keep to myself
So nobody knows
Misery follows me wherever I go
The lyrics to KMFDM's song "You're No Good" are a reflection of the struggles of self-doubt and paranoia. The song's opening lines, "Deceitful unforgiving, Whoever the hell you think I am" suggests that the person is unsure of their own identity or how they are perceived by others. The singer is asking to be allowed to be themselves again, and to perhaps be forgiven for whatever wrongs they may have committed.
The chorus, "Misery follows me wherever I go," suggests that the person feels trapped by their own negative thoughts and emotions. They feel better off alone, as they fear that they will only bring misery to others. The repeated line, "You're no good" further emphasizes this self-doubt, as the singer is likely projecting their own insecurities onto others.
The later lines, "Punishing discontent, Gotta get a grip, My mind's working overtime," suggest that the singer is struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. They feel like they are a ticking time bomb, and that they are heading towards some sort of crisis. Ultimately, the song is a reflection of the inner turmoil and self-doubt that can plague anyone, no matter how confident or successful they may appear on the outside.

Deceitful unforgiving
You are dishonest and hold grudges
Whoever the hell you think I am
You have the wrong impression of me
Bring me to my knees
You have defeated me
Let me be myself again
I want to return to my true self
Forgive, forget
Let bygones be bygones
Hold it against me in contempt
You blame me for something
Drowning me in tears
You are causing me emotional pain
Bitter salt that knows no fear
The tears are relentless and scary
I'm better off alone
I prefer to be by myself
Keep to myself so nobody knows
I avoid interaction to keep my secrets safe
Misery follows me everywhere I go
I am constantly unhappy
Hello hello I'm back again
I have returned
Run run run run while you can
Get away from me while you still can
Hello hello I'm back it's me
I have come back, it's still me
The mother load of misery
I carry a lot of unhappiness with me
You're no good
You are a bad influence

Gotta get a grip

I am about to explode
Another pound of flesh
You are taking more than you should
Red alert emergency
This is a crisis situation
I'm headed for a crash
I am headed for disaster
To have to hold
To keep and cherish
All in good time
It will happen at the appropriate moment
I'd ruin that too
I would mess that up as well
I'm better off alone
I prefer to be by myself
Keep to myself
I avoid interaction
So nobody knows
To protect my secrets
Misery follows me wherever I go
I am constantly unhappy
