i love the little note change in her music at the beginning- u can especially hear this in the sped up version. it’s like she’s reclaiming her power. even if shes going crazy obsessive about success, in the end she’s doing it for her choice and hers alone.

"High achiever, don't you see?
Baby nothing comes for free"
As a person who used to have straight A's, this line really hits me

i love how much i relate to this song. i study for 6 - 10 hours a day and i know that its unhealthy for a teenage boy's mental health but academic validation has made a massive impact on my mindset and seeing high grades on test results feel so rewarding

✨ ' 0:48 ' ✨ Literally I love how Marina's lyrics tell a story, she obsesses over her success, her mind and heart telling her that she has enough, but she feels she needs more. LOVE this song and you've done an amazing job <3

0:03 I showed my roommate the thumbnail and from a distance she thought it was some kind of messed up dog face (look at the head) and now I can't unsee it and I haven't even played it yet

"it's my problem, it's my problem if i feel the need to hide, and it's my problem if i have no friends and feel i want to die" so true lolol

I was pulling out my hair
The day I got the deal, chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy that my life
Was just about to change?
One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream
Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer"
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem, it's my problem
That I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem
On how fast I will succeed
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, prayin'
Sad inside in this life, unsatisfied, waitin'
Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?
Are you satisfied with an easy ride?
Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)
Black, white (are you satisfied, are you satisfied?)

2:20 hit wayyy too hard. i have adhd and people like teachers and peers and family members expect me to be so perfect in every way even though *i'm just not.* i'm bad in studies, sports, arts, music, and reading but i just get so distracted and it fucking sucks and i feel the need to be better at everything, that i'm a burden to my family, that i'll never be good enough for them or myself, because i can't even live up to my own expectations. i even go to sleep far too much just to dream about times before my uncle ruined my own *birthday* for me, to pretend it never happened and everything is just perfect. that *i'm* perfect. i'll never feel content with myself until i do more than people want me to, i want me and other people to be *satisfied* with me but i can't.

This songs represents me perfectly. I studied for hours on end to try and write the perfect essay on my exam and ended up writing a perfect one, for much higher lever in only 15 minutes. Still, I want more successes in the future.

I'm not academically struggling or stressed, I'm just here because the Music hits
EliyahRegalado
I'm not even focusing on academics for myself anymore. Every time I get a good grade or something, I only imagine other people like my parents or my teachers being proud of me.
