No Regrets
Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They said don´t leave your little world behind
It ain’t safe
Your heart gets broken on the way
But shards of hearts they light the day and so
I won’t stay
No right
It’s all about you
It’s all about you
Chorus:
I have no regrets
I’m standing on my ground
And the colors that i show
Change within me as i grow, they do
I have no regrets
While thinking just of you
All the troubles that I’ve known
Paint the colors as i go, they do
Hey Little girl you talk too much
Go stand in line and cover up your truth
You stay tamed
Dreaming big is just for fools
They said to me but i refuse to lose
Oh myself
No right
No wrong
It’s all about you
It’s all about you
Chorus:
I have no regrets…
Bridge:
Dreaming big is just for fools
They said to me but i refuse to lose
Oh myself
No right…
Chorus:
I have no regrets…
I have no regrets
The lyrics of Vanilla Ninja's song No Regrets express the idea of living life without fear of the unknown or the consequences of one's choices. The song starts with the singer revealing that she has been warned since she was a little girl not to abandon her comfort zone or take risks because it might lead to a broken heart. However, the singer decides to take the risk and leave her little world as the broken hearts can light the way forward for a better future. She refuses to be tamed and will not cover up her truth as she believes in dreaming big and refuses to lose herself. The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that she has no regrets, and she is standing on her ground regardless of the colors she shows as she grows or the troubles she faces ahead.
The bridge reaffirms the central idea, which is that dreaming big is not foolishness, and refusing to lose oneself is not weakness. The song ends with the chorus that repeats once again that she has no regrets. The lyrics of the song encourage individuals to take risks in life, and not be afraid of failures, and embrace their true selves without any regrets.

Since I was a little girl
Ever since I was a child
They said don´t leave your little world behind
People warned me against leaving my comfort zone
It ain’t safe
They believed that it wouldn't be safe for me
Your heart gets broken on the way
They thought that the journey would lead to emotional pain
But shards of hearts they light the day and so
I learned that the experiences, both good and bad, contribute to my growth
I won’t stay
But I won't let fear hold me back
No right
There is no one right way to live
No wrong
There is no one wrong way to live
It’s all about you
It's your life, your choices
Chorus:
Refrain
I have no regrets
I stand by my decisions
I’m standing on my ground
I am confident in myself
And the colors that i show
The emotions that I express
Change within me as i grow, they do
Evolving as I gain new experiences and insights
While thinking just of you
While keeping you in mind
All the troubles that I’ve known
All the difficulties I have faced
Paint the colors as i go, they do
Influence my emotions and how I express them
Hey Little girl you talk too much
Some people criticize me for expressing myself
Go stand in line and cover up your truth
They want me to conform to their narrow expectations
You stay tamed
They want to hold me back
Dreaming big is just for fools
They discourage me from having big dreams
They said to me but i refuse to lose
But I won't let their negativity affect me
Oh myself
I prioritize my own growth and happiness
Bridge:
Musical transition
Chorus:
Refrain
I have no regrets…
I stand by my decisions

Over a year now since the release of ‘No Regrets’ and now the first anniversary of album ‘Encore’.
I’ve still No Regrets loving this song plus yet another brilliant album. Different genre but a nice song and simply lovely warm video. 🤗

I've only recently discovered Vanilla Ninja & didn't realise they had been around & been Eurovision entrants. This song is absolutely fantastic. Sends a shiver down me everytime I hear it.

Girls, you don't age!!! I remember when 18 years ago I was that little girl standing in front of the mirror, singing your songs dressed like you. Probably I was your biggest little fan in Poland ! 😄 now you revoked my memories and the music... still perfect for my ears. I do hope to attend your concert. Love ❤

Też je pokochałam 18 lat temu. Do dziś słucham ich piosenek ❤️

Dobrze że dziewczyny znów nagrywacie piękne piosenki dla nas fanów Vanilla Ninja.Pozdrowienia z Polski.
Ray Woodman
Well done on achieving the one million hits on you tube. This song is still as awesome as the first time I heard it and as I”ve said before ........it is the tune of 2021 and needs to be relaunched via an advert like Coca Cola or another huge global brand. This should be a 16 week number one tune because it makes you feel good and that is what we all need right now isn’”t it?
