She might be directing this towards someone she has romantic feelings for, someone she has let in.
I think Marina might have gone through the same thing, maybe her problem was that she got depressed and got mixed up with the wrong people? And all her other friends were worried but she never picked up the phone? I think she later realizes that she was pathetic and should just be happy with who she is. I still had friends from before that time but I was so deep into the emotions I was holding up, I never talked to anyone outside of school, I resented commitments. During that time, I kind of made friends with the wrong sort of people, people that before then, I would of tried my hardest to get away from. This part of the song I really connect with. Here I think she's admitting she's just human. But I think why else would she say "I" if the song wasn't about her. I mean, she might of actually been talking about her friend and how s/he was avoiding her so she's saying that s/he's hurting her.
This is where I think it really shows that this song is about her. I was going through some stuff when I started listening to this song and tried to pass things off that should of hurt me, I was trying to pull off my own tough act. So basically she's saying that she's well "acting tough lately" and she realizes that sometimes this tough act sometimes doesn't work/is tiring and admits that it's okay to show some emotion or be "weak". My InterpretationSo I should start off with saying that I think the whole song is all about her, that the "you" she speaks is actually herself.īetter to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not The song could have any meaning, but that's how I interpret it. However, 'you're loveable' never changes to 'i'm loveable' so it's as if she still can't convince herself that she is indeed loveable. When she's saying 'I'm vulnerable, I am not a robot' and 'Guess what? I'm not a robot' it's her suddenly realising that she is in fact vulnerable and she's not the robot she acts like. She's telling herself to get over this sort of behaviour throughout the song, for example about her not committing, 'not picking up the phone' she's saying 'don't be so pathetic, just open up'. and she's telling herself to stop being that way by saying, 'You're vulnerable, you are not a robot' as if she's saying to herself 'you can't go on like this', and then she's trying to convince herself that she could be loved by saying 'you're loveable, but you're just troubled'. Possibly she is that person who puts on a tough front, hides from her feelings, is troubled, doesn't believe she could be loved, doesn't committ to anyone etc. General CommentTo me, this song could go one of two ways.Įither it's about the kind of person who is the way Marina has described (like me, for example) - putting on a tough act, hiding from their feelings, never admitting their vulnerability, troubled, hanging out with people that they don't really like or trust, never committing to anything or anyone and not believing that anyone could love them.Īnd it's her trying to show them otherwise, telling them that they are loveable and vulnerable, just troubled too. You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, ringsĭon't be so pathetic, just open up and sing Who you never really liked and you never trustedīut you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins You've been hanging with the unloved kids
