Wow. Pop music with meaning. Marina is a genius. With her pop sensibility I think she might be able to reach a wider audience than an alternative artist might. To me, this song is about understanding that if you're unhappy with something in your life, you have the power to change it. If you're depressed, seek help. If you're bored, do something fun, life is what you make it. A lot of people are self-defeating and do the opposite of what's going to help a negative situation.
I don't know I kind of get a darker feeling from this song. I think it's more about the confusion Marina is having with still feeling dark and depressed even though things seem to be working out for her. I think she isn't satisfied with what's conventional and in a very conventional sense most people would think you shouldn't feel unhappy if you're getting big "breaks" into the industry.

@italiancarne You're mixing the two sides in this song. She's essentially having an argument with the people who said "Marina is a dreamer"

Her point is that it's her life and its her problem to deal with. while the counterpoint she sees them making is "just be a normal average person and work at McDonnalds." And she poses the question "are you satisfied" with not reaching for your dreams.

Its a lot easier to have a blue collar job than to be a rock star, doctor, lawyer, et cetera.
