No One
Max and Mara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I've been trying to get used to being)
(I've been trying to get)
(I've been trying to get)
Last night I cried a little
I think I'm getting colder with time
And it's all your fault, just a little
For making me think you were mine
I bet he's nice and kind and a little shy
Wish I could forget all the nights, all the days that we spent on talking
Wish I could rewind, just forget that we met cause I'm always crying
And I've been trying to get used to it, but right now I can't yeah
I've been trying to get used to being the one that no one picks
Now I don't wanna know how you kissed him
Or how much you love his point of view
The story for me is repeating
I'm stuck in the page you just turned, I found myself in my bed
Writing about what always happens to me
Wish I could forget all the nights, all the days that we spent on talking
Wish I could rewind, just forget that we met cause I'm always crying
And I've been trying to get used to it, but right now I can't yeah
I've been trying to get used to being the one that no one
The one who no one cares about
The one who's always reaching out
The one everyone forgets about
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The one who no one cares about
The one who's always reaching out
Cause if he doesn't, no one does
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wish I could forget all the nights, all the days that we spent on talking
Wish I could rewind, just forget that we met cause I'm always crying
And I've been trying to get used to it, but right now I can't yeah
I've been trying to get used to being the one that no one picks
Wish I could forget all the nights, all the days that we spent on talking
Wish I could rewind, just forget that we met cause I'm always crying
And I've been trying to get used to it, but right now I can't yeah
I've been trying to get used to being the one that no one picks
The song "No One" by Max and Mara is a heartbreaking and raw portrayal of a dysfunctional relationship. The song tells the story of a woman who is aware of her own destructive behavior but cannot seem to help herself. In the first verse, she meets her partner in a bar, and he notices her Skull T-shirt and rolled-up sleeves. He asks what she did that day, and she can tell he has sniffed her out like she is gin.
The chorus goes on to describe the woman's knowledge of her behavior as she sings, "I cheated myself like I knew I would. I told you I was trouble, yeah, you know that I'm no good." She knows that she is not good for her partner, yet she cannot seem to stop herself from behaving recklessly.
In the second verse, the woman is in bed with her ex-boyfriend, desperately seeking joy. She cannot get him off her mind, and in her final throes of thinking about him, her buzzer rings. She rushes to meet her partner and offers him chips and pita. He tells her that when they get married, there will be none of her ex-boyfriend anymore.
The final verse depicts a sweet reunion in Jamaica and Spain, but as the woman is in the tub and her partner is on the seat, he notices a carpet burn on her. Her stomach drops, and she knows that she has betrayed him again. The song ends on the same chorus describing her awareness of her destructive behavior.
Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of a relationship full of dysfunction and heartache. It is a testament to the complexity of human emotions and relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
I'll meet you at the bar intimately, where you'll bring me pain
Your rolled-up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
I notice the clothes you wear, how you present yourself as somebody daring, dangerous and mysterious.
You say, 'What did you do with him today?'
You ask me about my whereabouts and who was with me
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
You detect my every move like a dog sniffing for a scent of alcohol
'Cause you're my fella, my guy
You're the guy I'm attracted to and I'm willing to be with
Hand me your Stella and fly
Give me your drink and let's escape to good times together.
By the time I'm out the door
Before I can leave the building, you start attacking me with words of hostility
You tear me down like Roger Moore
You destroy my self-confidence the way Roger Moore famously portrayed the negative role of Ivanhoe, after the artist's decline.
I cheated myself
I deluded myself
Like I knew I would
I was aware that I would deceive you
I told you I was trouble
I warned you that being with me would have serious repercussions
Yeah, you know that I'm no good
You have already realized that I'm not a decent person
Upstairs in bed, with my ex-boy
My ex-lover and I are in bed together, indulging in a physical affair
He's in a place, but I can't get joy
Although my lover is physically present, my desire is lacking and unable to find fulfillment.
Thinking on you in the final throes
Despite being in bed with my ex, my thoughts are still consumed by you as our relationship is coming to an end.
This is when my buzzer goes
My doorbell rings at this moment.
Run out to meet you, chips and pita
I hurry to meet you with some simple bites to enjoy with you for dinner.
You say, 'When we married'
You mention our future nuptials.
'Cause you're not bitter
Because you bear no grudges.
'There'll be none of him no more'
Once we're married, my ex-boyfriend will have no further involvement in my life.
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
I expressed my deep emotions on the floor of my kitchen because of you.
Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We are having a pleasant reunion, reliving our trip to both Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
The time we spend together is just like when we first met.
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
I'm taking a bath, and you're sitting on the toilet seat observing me.
Lick your lips as I soap my feet
You find me attractive and desire me as I bathe myself.
Then you notice likkle carpet burn
You observe a small burn that the carpet suffered.
My stomach drop and my guts churn
I experience a feeling of dread and nausea.
You shrug and it's the worst
You dismiss the burn as trivial and it only adds to my anxiety.
Who truly stuck the knife in first
It's difficult to determine who was responsible for damaging the carpet and who caused emotional pain first in our relationship.

@@lhenzidee Thank you so much for replying ❤️
I did size up and you're right, the size was great, but...
I received a faulty item, a Rialto coat - lower pocket stitches completely broken/not sewn from the inside of the pocket.
I was soooo sad and angry. ☹️
I contacted the MM customer care.
So sorry I can't attach a photo here, so you can see what it looks like.
Items in that price range should be carefully inspected and in perfect condition before being sent .
Also, a coat was all wrinkled, as the box was probably too small for it.
Anyway, I sent it back the other day.
To be honest, I'm not sure if I should order again after getting a refund.
It would be much easier if they just sent me another coat after receiving the one I sent back.
I was saving for this coat and was so happy when I got it, only to find that the pocket is not sewn from the inside, it's literally falling apart.
Unfortunately, our local MM store still doesn't have the Rialto, and they don't know if/when they'll have it again.
Everything is deteriorating regarding quality.
I still have my Max Mara alpaka coat from the early 2000s and a Burberry trench from the same period.
Those are some high quality items.
I even have some desiner items from the late 90s.
You can't find things like that anymore.

@@lhenzidee Thank you so much for getting back to me 🙏🏻
I'm having second thoughts, to be honest.🤔 The customer service agent that I'm in contact with promised to see to it that everything is fine if I reorder, she says I should contact her with my order number as soon as I get it.
On the other hand, what you're suggesting makes much more sense.
I just have to keep in mind that the prices are going up really fast, so it will probably cost more when they get it.
The SA also doesn't have any info on when they'll have it again.
I purchased the Manuela last year (I live in the EU) on MYT and the price has already gone up 25% since then.
And the quality is deteriorating with mass production (no need for that, but the companies are too cheap to hire more people and pay them adequatly).
Anyway, it's not like I have nothing to wear, 🙈 so I can wait and see.
But now you made me think ...what if the same thing happens again 🙄
You're so kind for trying to help me with this. I came across your channel when trying to figure out which size to order. Now I'm subscribing ❤️
@hannahgross_72
Hi,
I need one more advice 🙏🏻 This time it's about the Madame coat.
I took your advice on sizing up for Rialto, so now I have a Manuela in IT40 and a Rialto in 42.
Both fit fine.
I would like the Madame to be comfotable enough so that I can wear it with a chunky sweater.
With Manuela in IT40, I can only wear a thin sweater or a shirt. But I think it's supposed to fit like that.
How much do these two coats really differ (if you compare the same sizes for both)?
Should I size up to IT42, like I did for Rialto?
Thank you 💕
Edit
I see you actually sized down 2 sizes compared to Manuela.
I think Manuela in IT40 is a bit more fitted on me than on you.
So I guess a Madame in 40 would work fine for me.

I adore winter because it is special but also because I get to wear my favorite clothing item 🧥 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ good quality coats make you so feminine that you don’t want to take them off entire day,literally feeling like a 👸🏽 ❤🎉
@SummeRain783
I love Max Mara! I am big on capsule wardrobing but with Max Mara I want to keep collecting.
@benbelardo
I love it. I have all the icon coats as well.
@puchilovesfashion
Amazing collection !! Please make more videos missed your videos
@patriciaquintela899
Love your collection❤.
@jenniferchu4122
Amazing collection! Would love to hear how you store and take care of them! I always end up with something eating holes in my cashmere sweaters and I do not want the same fate for my max mara coat! I love your hooded teddy such a chic piece! The teddy is what I will get next but I am undecided on which color :)
@lhenzidee
Thank you! I hang them in cedar hangers in those moth repellent garment bags form wayfair or Amazon when I store them away for the season, I usually thoroughly clean it with lint remover (for pet hairs, hair, dust) if it’s a coat that I wore quite often than I send it to dry cleaners before I store them away in my closet. Holes in cashmere usually means moths… with cashmere knit I do the same thing only instead of hanging I store them in air tight bins with lots of cedar balls. I hope this helps 💚.
Teddy I vote neutrals (classic camel) 🙈
@akolngito2429
OMG your the queen of Max Mara
@ashleycheechoo3845
Beautiful!
@kbmoyo
You have a gorgeous collection on coats. I also love maxmara coats and slowly building up my collection. The ludmilla followed by a teddy are on my wishlist.
