i think think song is about the choice marina has to make as an artist. the lines do you think you will be good enough to love others and to be loved is her asking herself if she is good enough to go her own way and not do what all other artists are doing. as we all know, marina is an incredibly individual artist. this song is her questioning wether thats a risk that she will choose to take or if she sould give in to the pressures telling her to be like everyone else. you can see from the rest of the songs on her album (the family jewels) that sometimes she goes through periods of time when she has very low self esteem.
in the lines you say y e s to everything will that guarantee you a win she is reffering to how other artists just say yes yes yes to their producers and go with whatever and she is questioning if that will always be a successful solution.
of course there are several other takes on this song but this is what i think
