BETTER THAN THAT
MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just another in a long line of men she screwed
Just another in a long line of men she knew
And yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do
Like all the boys before
Another dream come true

It's a power, it's a power, it's a power move
And while I'm not quite sure what she's trying to prove

They all say she's got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like the cat who got the cream

But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that, ooh
Better than that
Better than that
Better than that, ooh

She's the apple of everybody's eye
With an angel voice, devil in disguise
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use

And she'll network 'til her dreams come true
Even if it means getting into bed with you
Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell
I know a little too much, but I'll never tell

But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know you've been feeling down,
You're always out on the town, town
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that, ooh
Better than that
Better than that
Better than that, ooh

Well, I guess it's just what humans do
Hook up with other people 'til it all falls through
And when it's over, they go out and try to heal their pain
Hook up with another lover, do it all again
I'm not passing judgment on her sexual life
I'm passing judgment on the way she always stuck her knife
In my back ever since we were starting out
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you

But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game

Overall Meaning

In "Better Than That," MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS showcases her ability to write undeniably catchy pop-laced tracks that pack a lyrical punch. The lyrics expose the relationship dynamics between a woman who is using men for her own gain and a man who finds himself feeling used and heartbroken. The song tells the story of a woman who has a pattern of manipulating and taking advantage of men for her own personal gain, and the man who is caught up in her game.

The first verse introduces the narrative, with the singer telling the man that he's just another in a long line of men that the woman has "screwed" and "knew." The woman is portrayed as someone who does what she wants, and the man is seen as just another dream come true. The singer then questions the motives of the woman, stating that she's making a "power move" but not sure what she's proving.

In the chorus, the singer encourages the man to realize that he can do better than be with a woman who uses others for her own gain. She acknowledges that he's been feeling sad and heartbroken, but reminds him that he's not to blame for being caught up in her game. The second verse goes on to describe the woman as someone who is everyone's friend but has a sour "poisoned fruit" face that men can't resist. She'll do whatever it takes, including getting into bed with others, to make her dreams come true.

Does matter who if it is referencing her guy friend she selfishly, her words, only wants one more time with. For herself-esteem. & is what she's doing here again.
If you use someone you friend zone, you probs shouldn’t be telling em who you deem acceptable as your replacement.
Look,
she knows he's been feeling sad, but! she has a right 2 be mad!
Girl sounds like a fox. One on Marina's level, who may be better at her game.

If girl she is referencing is selfish uses guy, she's only doing what she already did.
Also telling her guy friend how he's just one more guy in her huge lineup of guys is mean. Goes after his manhood,opposed 2 being happy for him after feeling less sad in awhile.

Idk. I ain’t a gal. Personally, I shut up when it comes to my peers and their girls unless he wants 2 talk about it.Same thing I receive. Sure some guys do, but I don’t "approve" any girls for my guys and I seek zero approval from my dudes. The girl is my business.

not only does this song sound great, but it also can have so many meanings:

the first is what you may think if you dont listen to marina much, or just the first listen. that its about a woman who dislikes her crush's girlfriend, and believes she is toxic. not written in a misogynist way, but in a true love triangle situation which is cool!

but then, if you take marina's other discography into the meaning, you have many more layers. i personally believe marina wrote this song about "herself" or about the electra heart character she made that she felt was haunting her (whether this was her real life or just a part of the story) to keep it brief (although i certainly could go line by line here lol!)

the first set of lyrics are very electra heart, who broke many mens hearts and just used them for whatever she needed.

the next lines reference the phrase "the cat who got the cream", if youve listened to family jewels youll know in "are you satisifed?" marina uses the lyric: "one life pretending to be, the cat who got the cream". family jewels was DEFINITELY a personal album rather than concept as electra heart, so i believe this is a reference to the woman in the song is... herself.

a few lines down, "everybody's friend, does it ring a bell?" could be referencing to a lightbulb moment that, aha its not someone else shes talking about but herself.

the final verse, the situation is very electa heart/homewrecker, and then she says "im passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife in my back ever since we were starting out" is directly her saying, this persona of mine, thats been there since we started fame (or started adolescence) is causing me self sabotage.

at least thats what i think!

@saltanburn

8y↑363

I have a hunch that this was written about electra heart.

You're just another in a long line of men she screwed (homewrecker)
Just another in a long line of men she knew (housewife/beauty queen)
And yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do (primadonna / beauty queen)
Like all the boys before(homewrecker)
Another dream come true (beauty queen)

It's a power, it's a power, it's a power move (primadonna / homewrecker)

And while I'm not quite sure what she's trying to prove
They all say she's got low self-esteem (idle teen)
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?
(These lines are written about her personal encounter with the devil)

But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game (proves the story was a game with marinas emotions )
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that

She's the apple of everybody's eye (beauty queen)
With an angel voice (housewife / beauty queen)
Devil in disguise (homewrecker )
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit (idle teen?)
That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use (homewrecker)

And she'll network 'til her dreams come true (beauty quuen)
Even if it means getting into bed with you (home wrecker)
Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell? (home wrecker)
I know a little too much but I'll never tell (housewife)

Well, I guess it's just what humans do (marina)
Hook up with other people until it all falls through (home wrecker)
And when it's over they go out and try and heal their pain (idle teen)
Hook up with another lover, do it all again (homewrecker)
I'm not passing judgment on her sexual life (home wrecker)
I'm passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife (electra af)
In my back ever since we were starting out (THIS IS WHY IN ELECTRA HEART WHEN SHE ASKS IF SHE CAN GO BACK TO THE START AND MARINA KILLS HER BECAUSE SHE NEVER HAD HER BACK)
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you (Electra)
But you can do better than
You can do better than that

But it is about Marina against a girl. The song's directed towards a guy but you'd have to be deaf to not realize she doesn't like what this girl has done [to Marina and with the guy Marina is singing to]. I understand your point, but it doesn't apply to this song

@jonbehere

Oh it matters alright if it is directed toward the same guy "I'm a ruin" is. Or even "Blue," or "Forget."

If it is about the guy "Froot" is directed toward, far les peaved. But still a petty track. But I've been just as petty if not worse like most everyone else. Putting it into song is the best way. turning into art, music is a great outlet.

the song should have been named as "fuck that bitch, dont pay attention to that attention whore and move on" then it would be a different era xd

Word-from-word, these lyrics fit Electra Heart. I think this is Marina's way of saying she's abandoned her forever and she's never bringing her back. EH is a representation of somebody she used to be that she wasn't proud of, and she's done with all of that.

I love this line

"I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that"

Because Marina acknowledges that as humans we are not always logical and maybe have radical thoughts". Emotions such as jealously and reactions to some situations are simply instinctive. She's acknowledging she has no right to respond in this way (something not many do) and showing we can't always practice what we preach. She's human and not perfect. We sometimes have these conflicting thoughts that go against what we believe in. If all humans are one thing, it is hypocritical. I am, you are and so is marina. I don't know much about love but sometimes you just feel a certain way. Marina is showing she is not on some moral high ground and like everyone else (as much as we don't like to admit it) she is prone to be judgemental too

@nasrbabaekir1840

Or maybe she's acting sarcastic like you've been sad so you cheated and so i don't have right to be mad its all her fault you were cough in a game she's just a hoe?

I actually thought it was about Electra Heart and Marina's viewpoint on her. I especially thought that because of "She always looked like a cat who got the cream". I think in some way Marina is talking about herself, and how Electra Heart was a part of her without being one.

Just knowing that people in the future ( like maybe 2025-2030 ) will find this song and enjoy it makes me happy 😊. I just hope everyone at some point in their life finds Marina

I recently discovered her myself...and am enjoying that discovery greatly with every song of hers that I hear!!! She's a fabulous talent!!

@universal1 11 I found her last year when my friend was listening to ‘how to be a heartbreaker’ from nightcore, so I went home and couldn’t stop listening to it. After that I started listening to more and more of her music, and I LOVED it. And I agree, her music is FABULOUS!

@yinssleepydiaries380

5y↑8

Am I the only one that interprets this song as something more personal, as if she's saying that we deserve better? That we can do better than wasting our time on seeking attention and satisfaction from flaky men and fake love

@gracebourke2278

most fire diss track ever

@nyateehee8578

It’s not about anyone though

Unless you’re talking about Electra heart

@ricsouza5011

@Ihatemylife it is, about a real girl who backstabbed her. but tumblerinas like to sugar-coat it and created the self help fanfiction that it is about EH

@magpiem0th

@Ricardo Affonso marina literally said it wasn't about Ellie but ok

@bdthecat3517

3y↑3

@Opal Draws They didn't necessarily mean Ellie Goulding. It could have been another person in her life that's not actually famous🤷‍♀️

This song is the successor to Homewrecker from Electra Heart.
"You're just another in a long line of other men she screwed"
"Just another in a long line of other men she knew"; That is my favorite verse.

@vivifromlooona

@nicoleh2230

9y↑9

this song isn't about ellie goulding ! marina confirmed it on facebook, she said the rumours were "bizarre and untrue" so stop making false assumptions. this is a hell of a good song, who cares who it's about.

@whoviankfan197

@haileyyx2798

Favorite song off FROOT 😍

@chicojhj

9y↑7

I love how the chorus of the song makes us believe it's meant for the guy in the alleged relationship, but in truth, the "you can do better than that" is for the GIRL he cheated with.

@nickteves9716
