I know this song is about Elongated Muskrat, but in light of a lot of recent UA-camr/Online Celeb events, I can’t think about how many people out there put their heroes on a pedestal, only to have that hero turn out to be a horrible person. The chorus especially just, relates to feelings I have surrounding that.

I met my best friend and partner because of an former online personality who is a monster. We are both hurting after learning this recently.

I feel so stupid and so used.”

A lot of people are talking about the flaws in these idealized figures, but I think this song goes deeper than that. It's talking about the system of capitalism. As kids, we're naive dreamers that want to create stories, explore the stars, save the planet. But as you grow older you realize that nothing is so pure. These idealized figures are slaves to the system just like everyone else, and that's why it's so disappointing. It seemed like they were different, but deep down they're exactly the same.
I knoe right? these perfect figures to inspire us actually have to do awful things to get there and the immeasurable dissapointment and realization that its just a game. anyone can fall into it, we fall into such a grind that it doesnt MATTER what we do anymore as long as you win the game? but now the things that made you so great are gone
"Well I don't wanna eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heros first" Hits a LITTLE TOO HARD E: woah I've been mentally dead for these last 2weeks and this really exploded i-
Is it just me or does her tone sound kind of regretfully affectionate? As if she still holds a bit of nostalgia towards this person, despite realizing their faults. Idk, I may be reading a bit too much into it. Edit: I didn’t expect this to get attention, shit
to me she sounds really mad in the verses but nostalgic in the chorus,,,,,,,, like she sounds so angry but on “i loved you i loved you” her voice instantly lightens
"I don't wanna eat the rich I'd have to eat my hero's first." She still holds them as heros somewhere in her heart, through nostalgia, or just something in the back of her mind defending the damned elongated muskrat.
Honestly I relate to this song a lot more than I should. There’s a lot of anger in her voice and the lyrics. Going through a breakup isn’t just sad, it makes you MAD. I feel like this song captures a lot of that.

0:45 the lyric is actually "and i hope someday *selmers* rides her fucking train", its a reference to a character from the game Night In The Woods called Selmers :)

@@MintyyKing1: Music can be interpreted in many different ways 2: This song is technically about _the singer's relation with and reaction to_ horrible companies and evil rich people with hindsight.
@@MintyyKingbut her point still stands. A song can be interpreted by many views. You can feel relatable to just a certain chorus and not the whole with a different view.
@Kim-Tae-Hana he has stolen some ideas from another smaller company which lead them to go out of business. He wants to create a utopia on Mars for his own good. He also has some machine that can help almost everyone but hasn't done anything with it that will help others. I know there is more but this stuff but this is the only thing I really have a full understanding of.
Most people obviously don't understand the meaning of this song. It isn't just a criticism to Elon, it's a criticism to a whole system and herself. She's talking about how billionaires and innovators will always choose their own self gain instead of helping people and trying to make the world a better place and how young kids can be very easily influenced and blinded by the promise of a utopian future without realizing the price it comes with
Apparently the original title was 'Elongated Muskrat', à la that meme from a while back about famous people's names being short for stuff, like 'Ice Cube's name is short for Iclandic Cubicle'
Im real late 👁️👁️ but the line “i hope someday selmers rides her fuckin train” is one of my fave lines in any song. Its a reference to a video game called Night in The Woods (if yall haven’t checked it out I HEAVILY recommend it its a masterpiece) Selmers was a side character that the player can interact with throughout the game. Her backstory is one of the most interesting ones in the game for me personally. In the beginning she has just gotten out a prison and is attending rehab due to her stealing opioids from the pharmacy she was working at. She had developed this addiction due to her abusive ex husband. To help cope with her addiction and trauma, she writes poems that she can read to the player. At one point she reads this one poem called “Theres No Reception in Possum Springs” which directly calls out the way corporations that makes up the small town the game is set it . She explains how the political, economic, and social factors in her town negatively affected her, her loved ones, and everyone else in the town causing them to stay stagnant in the town just to get exploited by these companies that practically rule peoples lives. At the end she mentions hitching a ride out of the town and burn these companies and corporations down, affectively freeing her and others from the grief and control they suffer at the hands of these companies . That was a brief explanation tbh but again I highly recommend playing the game or simply researching it. Anyways i just thought it was a cool reference so i thought id mention it :)

*cough* I loved mandopony’s songs (the fnaf ones)and when I found out he was a fucking creep I was kinda sad like fuck man yo we’re my whole childhood,you and the fnaf games but OF COURSE no idol of mine can ever be a good person behind the scenes (it’s midnight this might make no sense soon)
This is such a satisfying song. At some point, everyone falls for the trap that billionaire figures are. It's really sad to watch it from the outside, as well. They're the same people that have had bad experience with religion, disrespect others for following, and then worship a scientist all the same. Hopefully more will learn to look at themselves. Anyway, it's sad to watch any person you look up to end up being something a lot different than you thought. Quick boomer moment: internet is kind of shit when it comes to learning about people. That's why I always remind myself that I will never truly know the person that I am watching on my screen, or talking to online. At least, I could save future me from a little bit of hurt
I love the lines like "Oh, you're so traumatised, it makes me wanna cry" cause it sounds like she's sarcastically complying with what [Subject Of Song] wants her to believe and say. I think it's a really nice touch. I definitely didn't explain this right in the slightest, but I don't know how I would.
This song I actually like because it shows humanity. Sometimes it sounds like her voice is breaking, like if she's about to cry. Other times explain themselves, like "Fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again." If you need explanation, she doesn't have a perfect thing to say, unlike most songs produced by major companies. The song is different, and that's why I (and maybe you too) love this song.
"When I said take me to the moon I didn't mean take me alone" is SUCH A GOOD LINE it talks about how the wealthy and famous go first also the parts that's like "and I don't wanna see the stars if there just another piece of land for us to colonize for us to turn to sand" is really good
Fr cuz bro "When I said take me to the moon, I never meant take me alone." hit SO HARD So many of the lyrics genuinely made me "HOLY CARP 🐠 🐠🎏🎏 THAT WAS EMINEM LEVEL"
I think a lot abt the lyric "I bit the apple cause I trusted you." Curious exactly what its a metaphor on. My first impulse is Adam and eve, then I think about Alan Turing, the father of computers, who killed himself w/ a cyanide poisoned apple. Edit: man there are some GOOD discussions in these replies
It could be both, the whole song has the whole vibe of atheists that thought they were better than religious people only to realize that their culture is just as horrible, so having a metaphor that fits both science and Christianity,
@@chemicalfuzzy There's sort of a rumor that I dont think has ever been confirmed or denied that the apple logo was inspired by Turing, which is why I didn't mention it but ur absolutely right
“i thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go” hit hard knowing if we ever get to a point where normal citizens can go to space, only the rich will be able to go
I like how as the song progresses, she hold back less. The end verses have more language and the voice is more raw. Even the harmony in the background is less calm.
@@dark_lightning6909 yeh but it’s the concept of it. us as a human race are destroying the planet by over-colonising it and stuff, there might not even be a planet to go to once we’ve ruined this one. the line basically just shows how quickly we can destroy a whole ass planet. take the movie pocahontas as an example, colonisers destroyed their land
@@paigeelizabeth8 it's just a risk we have to take. Who knows? Maybe there's a planet where it has the resources we have on earth but it's stronger and in more quantity. I probably sound stupid but space is the last frontier and we must explore it
Worshipping people like idols is a bad idea fellas. /////// Edit: My heart goes out to all of you who have had experiences with toxic idols (or just toxic people in your personal life, i have had that too). It's too bad we live in a world with boat-loads of them. Especially since I could count on two hands the number of them who are still getting away with illegal and ugly behavior. I wish people could just stand for good open their eyes and make their idols be responsible for their actions. Strength in numbers after all.
@@strifes8963 how though, I feel like being passive aggressive is writing a whole song that turns out to be a hit that doesn’t mention Elon musk but is a whole send for him
She isn't trying to hurt and offend Elon Musk, she is literally criticising a whole system. Sure, Elon Musk is basically the face of modern science but the song isn't simply about him. 90% of ppl in the comments are missing the point.
@@Phibaltalt I know that her problem wth him is personal but that is just the surface theme and message. When she says "we've been f-ing mean, we're elitist" it is hinting at the bigger picture, at the "we" part of everything.
@@Phibaltalt the singer actually said that the song is not about any specific person, so it’s not actually about Elon Musk, he is just a good example of what the song is about. I recommend watching her Genius interview
I just realized that at 0:40 “your proposal is immodest” might reference “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift where the author satirically suggests selling and eating infants to solve the problem of homeless single mothers.
Kids who were labeled gifted at a young age and turned out to just be normal 🤝 kids who were deemed useless and stupid until they got out of school to become genius --> hating the system and relating to this song
@@orsemcore the plasma is the mini piece of land, imagine an ant, on the mini plasma, like it just have powers idk i said imagine its not sm real but anyway, the ant would call it her land
@@orsemcore you don't understand? Okay here I'm gonna clear it to you There was an Ant with powers and she lived in the galaxy,she landed on a plasma (she have powers she can handle heat/fire and wtv), she calls it her land cuz she can live on it (Yeh plasma are tiny but ants are tinier) she's so small she can live on the plasma, her powers help her too, If you don't understand then-
This song feels specially close to those who had a crazy devotion to a STEM field as a kid...which led to a violent burnout after you found out that all your idols were disney villains and STEM is less about improving life and more about making money for the already rich...
And this is why kids you don’t idolize people who have money or power. Their are certain things you have to do to reach that success and trust me you do not want to know what it requires. Be smarter
the thing is that we only know this cuz we went through this whole finding out process, just young ppl idolizing. one cant help it. but for the future ppl, i hope dont strongly idolize people like this (not the artist) but oh well. its probably still bound to happen. we know its wrong but cant break the cycle
I think the lyrics "I hope one day selmers rides her fucking train" is cool. Selmers is a character from a videogame who writes a poem about wanting to get on a bus and burn silicon town.
That’s insane, nitw is my favorite game ever. It’s also ironic how Alex Holoka the game developer was accused of physical and emotional abuse of one of his coworkers so I guess the song is super fitting.
I think this song is honestly great for English essays. Like this is an allusion, except it’s one that students can actually get because it’s about stuff in their demographic, making the allusions hit the way they’re supposed to (as opposed to when stuffy white books allude to other stuffy white books). It has a great commentary, and the daddy issues/boyfriend issues act as a metaphor for a patriarchal system, as well as a reference to the whole “tech daddy” phenomena (Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates) while also seamlessly talking about the cycle of abuse, ultimately describing how the patriarchy abuses the people within it. There’s a lot more. Penelope Scott is the goddamn voice of our generation or something lol.
She didn't plan on it, but yeah it definitely turned out that way Edit: I'm adding this here because I am getting slightly tired of people correcting me: "The song wasn't meant to center around one person to the degree its been interpreted, I just thought people would like the meme." -Penelope Scott. She IS referring to Elon Musk at some points, but the song isn't about him, its about the thing as a whole.
“You promised you’d be Tesla but you’re just another Edison.” I like this line a lot because it’s bashing both Elon Musk and Thomas Edison in one swing.
@@aneferreira1847 my man, Thomas Edison is the inventor of the light bulb. Tesla refers to Nikola Tesla who was Edison's competitor. Tesla used this type of electric current called AC, and Edison used this one called DC. They basically fought a lot and Edison ended up electrocuting a guy and an elephant I think, to prove that Tesla AC was dangerous or some shit. Even though I'm pretty sure Tesla electricity was more efficient.
The line "i loved you its true , and sometimes I feel like I still fucking do." Is like the best line because it shows how you can hate someone for something they did but you can't stop loving them because the bond you once shared was special.
I like your view but I have a separate one of my own. This song comes from the standpoint of someone feeling betrayed by a system they once had admiration for. Perhaps the line "sometimes I feel like I still fucking do" could also mean that despite now hating the system, they still partake in it...even if it's against their will. In the current climate, some people have no choice but to make use of certain systems or resources when no other alternatives are available or feasible.
its kinda like the guilt of a child for hating they're guardians, knowing they sacraficed, worked hard, did everything they did for you, yet you still resent them, psychological abuse and neglect does shit and its interesting and saddening to see
honestly it's funny how elon musk just got worse. back then he was just a rich dude but now he owns twitter and turned it into a fascist hellhole, is in office, and did a fucking sieg hiel.
“When i said take me to the moon i never meant take me alone i thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go but i dont wanna see the stars if they’re just one more piece of land for us to colonize for us to turn to sand” i felt that 😔
"I loved you, I loved you, it's true and sometimes I feel like I still fucking do". This line just shows how people can hate someone for what they did but still love them deep inside.
@@shinguasu4286 You Keep Calling Everyone Pathetic, That just Makes You Seem Ignorant (which You probably are) Do you think people will listen to you When All you Do is Call everyone Pathetic?
Personally, I see this song about a child that idolised the fuck out of there parents and other "heroes", and when they grew up they realised that they were lying and they feel abused and used (as stated in the song) Obviously it means something else but this is just my personal opinion
I can't say I agree with the comments that are like "This isn't about your toxic ocs' relationships it's about Elon Musk" because like.. yeah, obviously it is, but art is subjective, and I think everything you get out of it is special in it's own way and has some truth to it. It can be about your oc, it can be about a character you like, it can be about how you feel about someone who abused you, and it, of course, can be about Elon Musk
@@zkmk8593 It was written about him, but art is about interpretation. I think if Penelope Scott has a problem with people getting their own personal meanings out of her art then she's not encouraging creativity (I mean this applying to everyone)
This is a really good point, thanks for pointing it out lol :)) While I do believe the song is about Elon Musk, it’s a public piece of music that can be interpreted as the listener wishes for it to be. If they want to use it like that, then they very much can! It may not have been the original use or intended purpose of the song, but it’s still a good and valid interpretation :D
@@gutslurper if you're asking what it means, then it's okay (if you're not i'm about to look very stupid). "gifted" refers to students who are/were in a gifted and talented program or considered smart by people around them. "[gifted kid] burnout" refers to the deterioration that "gifted" students face after being held to such high standards for a period of time. and "stem" is just an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Putting my 2 cents, I think its because of the older gen (like around 20-30 yrs ago) that were all ok with saying offensive shit. Like racist, misogynistic, ableist etc shit. That humor sorta acted like a cover to their actually terrible and flawed ideas, that they projected through their words that you can mistake as inscencere. Star power made these kinds of people untouchable, then our gen came a long and started to dismantle the offensive shit, so these types of people change themselves to make themselves seem "wholesome uwu 100." This also lures younger fans into false senses of security where they can prey on them easier. Star power is not as strong as it used to be because the internet makes it easier to expose terrible actions and behaviors. So no, these people arent becoming child gr00mers/terrible offensive peices of shit pie, they always were The internet is just finally doing its job for once

@@nyreem.7884 what did he do?
@Kim-Tae-Hana he has stolen some ideas from another smaller company which lead them to go out of business. He wants to create a utopia on Mars for his own good. He also has some machine that can help almost everyone but hasn't done anything with it that will help others. I know there is more but this stuff but this is the only thing I really have a full understanding of.
Most people obviously don't understand the meaning of this song. It isn't just a criticism to Elon, it's a criticism to a whole system and herself. She's talking about how billionaires and innovators will always choose their own self gain instead of helping people and trying to make the world a better place and how young kids can be very easily influenced and blinded by the promise of a utopian future without realizing the price it comes with
My first impression it was about being manipulated and taken advantage of by people you idolize and look up to

Im real late 👁️👁️ but the line “i hope someday selmers rides her fuckin train” is one of my fave lines in any song. Its a reference to a video game called Night in The Woods (if yall haven’t checked it out I HEAVILY recommend it its a masterpiece) Selmers was a side character that the player can interact with throughout the game. Her backstory is one of the most interesting ones in the game for me personally. In the beginning she has just gotten out a prison and is attending rehab due to her stealing opioids from the pharmacy she was working at. She had developed this addiction due to her abusive ex husband. To help cope with her addiction and trauma, she writes poems that she can read to the player. At one point she reads this one poem called “Theres No Reception in Possum Springs” which directly calls out the way corporations that makes up the small town the game is set it . She explains how the political, economic, and social factors in her town negatively affected her, her loved ones, and everyone else in the town causing them to stay stagnant in the town just to get exploited by these companies that practically rule peoples lives. At the end she mentions hitching a ride out of the town and burn these companies and corporations down, affectively freeing her and others from the grief and control they suffer at the hands of these companies . That was a brief explanation tbh but again I highly recommend playing the game or simply researching it. Anyways i just thought it was a cool reference so i thought id mention it :)
I love night in the woods! I didn't pay attention to the song enough to catch onto that
Omg thanks so much for the explanation!

This is such a satisfying song. At some point, everyone falls for the trap that billionaire figures are. It's really sad to watch it from the outside, as well. They're the same people that have had bad experience with religion, disrespect others for following, and then worship a scientist all the same. Hopefully more will learn to look at themselves.
Anyway, it's sad to watch any person you look up to end up being something a lot different than you thought. Quick boomer moment: internet is kind of shit when it comes to learning about people. That's why I always remind myself that I will never truly know the person that I am watching on my screen, or talking to online. At least, I could save future me from a little bit of hurt

This song I actually like because it shows humanity. Sometimes it sounds like her voice is breaking, like if she's about to cry. Other times explain themselves, like "Fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again." If you need explanation, she doesn't have a perfect thing to say, unlike most songs produced by major companies. The song is different, and that's why I (and maybe you too) love this song.

Edit: man there are some GOOD discussions in these replies
also reminds me of Steve Jobs and, you know, Apple, the brand

I think this song is honestly great for English essays.
Like this is an allusion, except it’s one that students can actually get because it’s about stuff in their demographic, making the allusions hit the way they’re supposed to (as opposed to when stuffy white books allude to other stuffy white books).
It has a great commentary, and the daddy issues/boyfriend issues act as a metaphor for a patriarchal system, as well as a reference to the whole “tech daddy” phenomena (Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates) while also seamlessly talking about the cycle of abuse, ultimately describing how the patriarchy abuses the people within it.

@@aneferreira1847 my man, Thomas Edison is the inventor of the light bulb. Tesla refers to Nikola Tesla who was Edison's competitor. Tesla used this type of electric current called AC, and Edison used this one called DC. They basically fought a lot and Edison ended up electrocuting a guy and an elephant I think, to prove that Tesla AC was dangerous or some shit. Even though I'm pretty sure Tesla electricity was more efficient.
@@catherineli1991 Actually Tesla was the inventor of the light bulb and Edison just took the credit, because he was better at selling it, I think

The line "i loved you its true , and sometimes I feel like I still fucking do." Is like the best line because it shows how you can hate someone for something they did but you can't stop loving them because the bond you once shared was special.
Ikr (me on another acc)
I like your view but I have a separate one of my own. This song comes from the standpoint of someone feeling betrayed by a system they once had admiration for. Perhaps the line "sometimes I feel like I still fucking do" could also mean that despite now hating the system, they still partake in it...even if it's against their will. In the current climate, some people have no choice but to make use of certain systems or resources when no other alternatives are available or feasible.

@@gutslurper if you're asking what it means, then it's okay (if you're not i'm about to look very stupid).
"gifted" refers to students who are/were in a gifted and talented program or considered smart by people around them. "[gifted kid] burnout" refers to the deterioration that "gifted" students face after being held to such high standards for a period of time. and "stem" is just an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
@@eclyptic oh ok
heya :)
I know this song is about capitalism and elon musk, but I feel like anyone who's idolized a celebrity or influencer just to come to the realization they were a shitty human love this song. I think of shane dawson and brendon urie every time I hear it
Wait, what did Brendon urie do??
@@carlym5820 sexual assault allegations towards minors he refuses to address, r*pe jokes, racism, transphobia, making questionable comments about bi and lesbian women, its a lot to unpack but you can look uo his name on twitter and see all the details
@@hayden2057 oh my god, thats horrible!
@@hayden2057 oh fuck- I dont want him to chime in anymore
@@hayden2057 The allegations were fake, the person who made them came out and said they were fake
Looking at this in 2025 hits hard.
it's insane how good she is at lyricism omfg,, the line "I bit the apple cause i trusted you" preludes to biblical reference of the fall of man and "it tastes like Thomas Malthus" at 0:38 is referring to the English economist Thomas Robert Malthus who basically said that rather than use abundant resources to feed everyone, the society uses it for population growth which invariably leads to the weaker class suffering from famines and dying wtff ;;
And then the reference to Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” about the poor selling their kid to the rich in the next line. Absolutely 10/10
Bit the apple is a double entendre too bc apple as in biblical allusion and also as in apple the tech company
Also I'll eat my hat if "White men who kill God" isn't a reference to Nietzsche.
Yea cuz she’s an insane marxist
@@maxastro nope. Just more anti white hate shit
The person who writes these songs could burn me alive and I’d apologize for getting the fire dirty.
Penelope Scott is a queen 😌
Wait until it turns out she’s a transphobe or some shit 😔

Why does everyone people idolize turn out to be a child gr00mer-
Right? Shane Dawson was my childhood.....
Putting my 2 cents, I think its because of the older gen (like around 20-30 yrs ago) that were all ok with saying offensive shit. Like racist, misogynistic, ableist etc shit. That humor sorta acted like a cover to their actually terrible and flawed ideas, that they projected through their words that you can mistake as inscencere. Star power made these kinds of people untouchable, then our gen came a long and started to dismantle the offensive shit, so these types of people change themselves to make themselves seem "wholesome uwu 100." This also lures younger fans into false senses of security where they can prey on them easier. Star power is not as strong as it used to be because the internet makes it easier to expose terrible actions and behaviors.
So no, these people arent becoming child gr00mers/terrible offensive peices of shit pie, they always were
The internet is just finally doing its job for once

"You promissed you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison" honestly, this is my favorite quote of all time
My favorite part was the "Were so mean were so elitist were as fucked as any church" idk why, just hits hard.
@@FigNewtonBars Probably because they're all fucked in some way and just as guilty of committing the sins they preach against as any of us.
@@FigNewtonBars both lines were so cathartic to hear in a way though
mine was "i fell for curcuit boards, rocket ships pictures of the stars" then the line after that because it just hits me
YES.
