OH NO
MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | Lyrics

Don't do love, don't do friends
I prioritize success over relationships and therefore do not bother with love or friendships.

I'm only after success
My main focus is on achieving success rather than anything else.

Don't need a relationship
I do not require a romantic relationship in order to feel fulfilled.

I'll never soften my grip
I am determined to maintain my ambition and hold onto the drive that propels me forward.

Don't want cash, don't want card
I am less interested in money and more interested in immediate success.

Want it fast, want it hard
I am impatient and crave quick and immediate results with a great amount of vigor.

Don't need money, don't need fame
I am not motivated by wealth or popularity, but rather a desire to make an impact and create change.

I just want to make a change
I am driven to make positive changes in the world by using my platform.

I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be
I have a clear understanding of my goals and who I aspire to be as an individual.

I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I am not guided by my emotions and behave in an efficient, logical manner like a machine would.

I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
My behavior and actions of pursuing success and remaining driven are causing me to become the person I aspire to be.

One track mind, one track heart
I am singularly focused on my goals and allow little else to distract me.

If I fail, I'll fall apart
If I am unsuccessful in achieving my goals, I will lose my sense of self and become devastated.

Maybe it is all a test
I see potential hurdles as merely tests of my perseverance and drive.

'Cause I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best
I struggle with feelings of unworthiness and compensate by acting and appearing to be overly confident.

If you are not very careful
There is a risk of becoming too caught up in material things and losing sight of true values.

Your possessions will possess you
The more emphasis and value one places on their possessions will lead to their possessions becoming what controls and possesses them, rather than the other way around.

TV taught me how to feel
I have been influenced by media and television and may have adopted certain emotional responses and beliefs from them.

Now real life has no appeal
Real life does not meet the expectations set by media portrayal and therefore lacks appeal.

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I am willing to take risks and hope to strive forward, live life to the fullest and soar to new heights.

I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die
I am mindful that failures are inevitable and there will be a time to accept that one day, everyone will die.

Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
The repetition of this phrase is meant to serve as an urgent warning to not lose oneself to apathy or become lost to the cycle of media portrayal and worldly desires.
