Better Than That

Marina and The Diamonds

Transposer:

You’re just another in a long line of men she screwed Just another in a long line of men she knew And yeah she did yeah she did what she wanted to do Like all the boys before Another dream come true It’s a power it’s a power it’s a power move And while I’m not quite sure what she’s trying to prove They all say she’s got low self-esteem So why is she looking like the cat who got the cream But you you can do better than You can do better than that I know you’ve been feeling sad I’ve got no right to be mad maaaaaad But you can do better than that And I know that you’re not to blame You just got caught in a game gaaaame But you can do better than that Better than that better than that oooh oh ooh ooh Better than that better than that oooh oh ooh ooh She’s the apple of everybody’s eye With an angel voice devil in disguise Got a sour face like poisoned fruit That the boys can taste ’till they’re out of use And she’ll network ’till her dreams come true Even if it means getting into bed with you Everybody’s friend does it ring a bell I know a little too much but I’ll never tell But you you can do better than You can do better than that I know you’ve been feeling sad I’ve got no right to be mad But you can do better than that And I know that you’re not to blame You just got caught in a game But you can do better than that Better than that better than that Better than that better than that better than that Well I guess it’s just what humans do Hook up with other people until it all falls through And when it’s over they go out and try to heal their pain Hook up with another lover do it all again I’m not passing judgement on her sexual life I’m passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife In my back ever since we were starting out Suspicious from the start I always had my doubts about you But you can do better than that Better than that better than that I know you’ve been feeling sad I’ve got no right to be mad But you can do better than that And I know that you’re not to blame You just got caught in a game But you can do better than that Better than that better than that Better than that better than that better than that

La chanson parle d'une femme qui semble enchaîner les relations sans véritable attachement, cherchant à satisfaire ses désirs sans se soucier des conséquences. Au cœur de cette dynamique, il y a une certaine tension entre le désir d'indépendance et la recherche de validation personnelle, ce qui soulève des questions sur l'estime de soi. Le narrateur, quant à lui, observe cette situation avec un mélange de tristesse et de frustration. Malgré une attirance persistante pour cette femme, il lui fait comprendre qu'il mérite mieux et qu'il est possible de sortir de ce jeu destructeur. On peut voir cette chanson comme une réflexion sur les relations modernes et les blessures que l'on peut infliger en cherchant à combler des vides émotionnels. C’est un constat que nombreux d’entre nous partagent, mais qui souligne aussi l'espoir d'aller au-delà de ces schémas répétitifs.
