The way she modulates her voice is really interesting. She has a lot of vocal range and talent.

When she sings "Look, look, just choose something quick! People are staring, time to go- quick! And skin is on fire, must do something, something.. something!" describes me because I always feel like I'm pressured to do everything people tell me to do and one wrong move and something horrible will happen.

I’ve listened to it too many times now, it’s just soothing but also relatable

her voice at the first 'you never told me what it was that made you strong, and what it was that made you weak' is so vulnerable. I love her god

This really is the perfect song explaining obsessive thoughts. I wanna wipe out all the sad ideas that come to me as I am holding you... All you ever think about are sick ideas, involving me, involving you. I think some parts of the song she is talking to herself. Like telling herself to quit crying and that second line I posted.

I love all the interpretations people have for this song.

this song especially the beginning really hits home with my social anxiety. its an obstacle everyday for me to deal with being around people. Going to the store is the worst since I have to be walking around people and talk to them. standing in line is a terrible thing for me because I get so embarrassed and nervous. I overthink things and feel everyone thinks I'm an idiot. I have a really hard time looking at people in the eyes when I talk to them, thats with anybody, even family. I constantly worry about the way I act around people then it makes me feel like a complete dumbass when I do something mildly wrong like dropping something for example. to normal people its not a big deal, but dropping something in public for me embarrasses the living hell out of me and I just wanna run away forever. Social anxiety is a fucking nightmare :(

Saw Marina live a few weeks ago, and she played this song on keyboard. One word. Astonishing

Everytime she says "pressure overwhelming" i cry dAMN WHAT A GREAT SONG

This song makes me think that the 'love affair' she is having is just her being close to her other self (the obsessive and anxious self). This other form will constantly battle with her telling her how to act (this being the OCD). The supermarket part of the song appears to be her anxiety kicking in 'people are staring' and how she can't perform a simple talk of buying crackers without breaking down. Then the week without food could also be and eating disorder. I don't know but that's how I see it - either way this song is amazing and I wish deeper songs like this were more common x

I can't express how happy I was when I found that one of my favourite artists had made a song about the mental illness I struggle with. Feels good to be represented :-)

Indeed it does

Literally me in college. Social anxiety kept me from leaving the room, knowing people would be looking at me/judging/interacting, and staying locked in the dorm for weeks on end deepened my depression, and being too fearful to go to the corner store and stock up on meals or to class where my classmates would be wondering where I'd been led to extreme weight loss...

have you guys ever thought that this song talks about your own obsessions? some people are relating it to OCD, others to anorexia... I'm relating it to anxiety and, well, I have anxiety

@miaa1762

Exactly. I am relating it to social anxiety.

i misinterpreted this song for many many years and just this week i realized the song is about marina herself feeling guilty over her own feelings in a relationship where she can't open up about her feelings with an insensitive boyfriend. this song is about excusing herself over her "obsessions" aka her anxiety, ocd and intrusive thoughts.

For me, this is about anorexia. You feel like everyone watching you while buying food, skin on fire, a week without food and it becomes your obsession ect

I love Marina and this song so much. As someone who suffers everyday with ocd and anxiety this song makes me somewhat better knowing I'm not alone. ❤

The last “made you weak” where her vocals kicked in the background makes me so emotional it’s so sweet. She pours her heart into that I love her omg.

This song is brutal. And it describes me, I feel identified. I suffer from social anxiety, and although I am now overcoming that trauma, it does not cease to surprise me as this song describes what I was the last 10 years. And how I went with my ex girlfriend.

When she said that song at her concert. Everyone Bursted into tears. Ecspecially me.

it's so interesting to read so many comments with so many different interpretations of the song

One time before I fell asleep, I screamed out loud because my OCD got so bad I could literally see images before my eyes of my obsession. I almost woke everyone in my house up.

I’m not sure why people in the comments are so adamant that this isn’t about OCD when it clearly is? Like I’m not sure what else you people need she literally describes not being able to buy food because she can’t pick the “right” packet of identical crackers. It’s literally a song about intrusive thoughts and compulsions. She literally says OCD in the song. It’s not about not wanting to eat or not being able to eat it’s about not being able to choose because they’re “bad luck”. It’s about which packet to reach for. I’m all for interpretation but as someone with OCD it’s REALLY annoying when people in the comments are point blank saying that it’s not. To those people, you don’t have OCD and you don’t know what it’s like. People with OCD know exactly what this song is about.

This song perfectly describes my severe anxiety & intrusive thoughts. 🙏🏻

I relate to this song so much because I have really bad intrusive thoughts and because whenever I have to decide I feel pressured to pick something else other than the thing I want so I don't upset them or get yelled at or because I feel like I'm being judged

"One minute your a sweetheart and next minute you are an absolute creep!" This describes me so good.

This gives me chills every time I listen to it

It's amazing to me how a song can bring people together. No one is fighting or arguing or name-calling. We all came together because a song touched us deep in our hearts and we relate to it. Whatever problem you may face, remember that this song reminds us that you are not alone and there is always someone who will understand.

I don't relate to the OCD. I interpreted some verses in my own way and it fits perfectly in this moment. I feel like she sings to me, to make my heart calm down.

all of marina's lyrics clearly mean so much. they're so powerful

This used to be my least favorite Marina song and now I cannot stop listening to it help

This song is super great. It sort of shows what anxiety is like. It’s nice.

Random opinion- this song isn’t actually about any specific mental illness or situation, it’s a sufferer of any condition speaking to themselves, like you don’t know yourself. I can relate to this song even though I’ve never had a mental illness or been in an abusive relationship ect. To me it sounds like being overwhelmed which happens often to me, this is just my opinion btw!

I relate to this song more than I would like to admit.

I absolutely ♥ this song! Marina, you rock!

I relate to this on a deep emotional level.

A song can be whatever it means to you

The first song I ever learnt on piano - such a great one.

The start is lovely oh my gosh I love this song.

forever in love with this song. the first time I listened to it was almost five years ago, and it's interesting to see how many layers I am able to add to it with every new experience I make.. thank you, Marina.

love it. absolutely deep, and powerful!

This gives my goosebumps, love this so much

"I wanna erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week"

I am currently convinced that Marina is the only good thing on the planet.

One of my favorite songs! I can hear the mental breakdown coming on in her voice every time I listen. Brilliant!

This song describes my OCD so well that it scares me

this song is amazing!

I've got obsessions. I want to stop listening to this song every day of every week.

I love this song too much. The meaning behind it is perfect.

Most of her songs (the one's I have examined) have a lot of interpretations, that is true. Of course, this song relates to Obsessions in quite a big way and people with OCD will relate to that in a unique way. Considering that there is so little positive or neutral representation of individual or general mental health issues in pop culture, it is unkind to attack and label someone with OCD as a "special fucking snowflake" for flocking to such an example and celebrating the moment of recognition.

i really love this song!

I really love this song. Even after all those years I consider it one of my favourites

such a beautiful and sad song. i can totally relate to this...

Favorite song ever,,, Brings me to tears everytime

the song is about her ex, but the listener has the freedom to interpret it how he or she wishes. don't say the song is strictly about this or that; songs are flexible in their meanings as they relate to the listener.

OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG !!!!!

It saddens me that abusive relationships are so prominent today that tons of women can immediately identify with it. I love that this song touches on the pain of being in a relationship you can't get out of because you just can't let go of him.

I love this song so freaking much

I can't describe what I'm feeling while listening all of her songs.It's...amazing :'D
