“No More Suckers” by MARINA
Within the context of MARINA’s “No More Suckers”, the word “suckers” reads more like bloodsuckers. The track’s lyrics speak outside of a romantic partner and include MARINA’s associates in general. She is under the impression that the person she is addressing is taking advantage of her materially, such as ‘eating all her food’, ‘messing up all her towels’ and generally “bleeding (her) dry”.
In fact she perceives that this individual has issues in terms of taking care of him or herself. Moreover interacting with this person is draining her emotionally. Thus she compares this individual to a “leech”, and she has grown weary of the “bruising” that has resulted from interacting with him or her.
Indeed there is “nothing left inside” of her for this person to feed on. So in response, she has decided to “wave goodbye” to the aforementioned “leech” and indeed all the “suckers” in her world.
