Marina and the daimonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said goodbye when I shouldn't have said it
I even cried but I never meant it
And I don't know why but I can't forget it, forget it
Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme
Gimme one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time
No, I don't love you
No, I don't care
I just want to be held when I'm scared
And all I want is one night with you
Just 'cause I'm selfish
I know it's true
Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
Something good and true
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme
Gimme one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time
I'm sick of looking after you
I need a man to hold on to
I'm bored of everything we do
But I just keep coming back to you
I'm sick of looking after you
I need a man to hold on to
I'm bored of everything we do
But I just keep coming back to you
For one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time
Gimme love, gimme dreams
Gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
Something good and true
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme, gimme anything
But blue, blue, blue, royal blue
I just wanna know who I'm looking for (Blue)
Gimme, gimme, gimme anything but blue, blue, blue
MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS’ song “Blue” is essentially about regret, wanting to feel loved, and feeling stuck in a cycle of returning to an ex-partner despite dissatisfaction in the relationship. The lyrics depict the feeling of looking back on the end of a relationship and regretting ending it, only realizing after the fact that the decision to break up was not the right one. Lines such as "We've broken up and now I regret it, I said goodbye when I shouldn't have said it" and “And I don't know why but I can't forget it, forget it” underline this feeling of remorse.
In addition to regret, the song also conveys a sense of longing for love and validation. The lines “Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self-esteem, Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for? Gimme everything, all your heart can bring, Something good and true” convey the singer's yearning for love and affirmation. This is reinforced earlier in the song when she sings “No, I don't love you, No, I don't care, I just want to be held when I'm scared.” It is clear that she wants to be loved, but perhaps not necessarily by the person she’s with.
Finally, the song discusses feeling stuck in a cycle with a partner, despite boredom and dissatisfaction: “I'm sick of looking after you, I need a man to hold on to, I'm bored of everything we do, but I just keep coming back to you.” These lines depict the singer’s feeling of being trapped in a pattern with her partner, unable to break free.
Overall, “Blue” is a song about the complicated emotions that can arise in relationships, including regret, longing, and feeling stuck.

When the world was living in 2015, Marina already was in 2021. All those 80 influences, this colours, these retro feelings that only now are getting common (The Weekend, Dualipa, etc...)
Marina literally invented the actual Retro pop scene in 2015.
And shes in a live concert can be unbelievable better and great than these produced films. What a WOMAN.
