    an explanation to DEATH : basically melanie has had the “character/persona” of crybaby since around 2014/2015, she’s gone through being born to her death, death is about the evolution of crybaby and how she is growing in a spiritual aspect , as in the album CryBaby, we saw mel grow and in K-12 we saw her go to “school” and learn, now she’s growing spiritually. In K-12 there’s a part where they say “you start in the womb and end in the tomb “something along those lines… if you look at the track list , DEATH is first and Womb is the last song, portraying that mel is in fact starting a new journey :)

      Don’t mean to offend but u didn’t exactly say the meaning of death u just kinda told the plot. For example towards the end of the song she says something about even tho her appearance seems morbid she is still the same person and you shouldn’t worry. I just think you left out some things yk 🙃

      @erinlord7585 Рік тому +8

      @@elitecreepy3175 no i completly agree, her saying it’s morbid is about crybaby dying it was more of a quick run down of the whole ideaology of crybaby and how that’s ended :) feel free to add to it 100% though!! :)

    it's also worth noting that there are 9 swords in the scene with melanie's body and the nine of swords is a card in tarot which is associated with anxiety and fear, basically all the things that keep you up at night, death being an idea that causes many anxiety, or some may be afraid of death. I don't know if that was intended but it makes sense

    • @chelseas.horizon2222
      @chelseas.horizon2222 11 місяців тому +9

      Yeah. I was wondering if she will stop doing the face thing after some time. It must be exhausting to perform with that on. Give her trouble breathing and also so much additional heat, which is already very hot on stage with all the lights and the bouncing around.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@chelseas.horizon2222 believe she is wearing a mask now instead of the prosthetics so I’m thinking it’s a bit easier to breathe in and perform in, although I’m sure it can still cause problems if she continues wearing it almost every night, especially with it being warm on stage.

    @awintersbloom Рік тому +212

    Mhm I agree! I love when artists explore deeper, darker concepts that, to the normal consumer, may seem off putting. Death is such a versatile and deeply layered topic with so many notions of how it’s perceived and it’s not talked about nearly enough. Melanie isn’t really evoking fear of death I think, for of the opposite and that’s just so cool to me! Even during the whole Crybaby era, the way she has always visually and lyrically painted things is something you never see artists do. NF has done it quite a lot, so has BTS. But I really can’t recall other artists taking that artistic route so I completely agree, this is very cool :0

    So the song WOMB ties back into the story if the SONG death. Where the fetus being the soul is being born from the womb, that is, the human body. The worldly experiences shaped who she is in spirit and so that soul is being reborn into this being that isn’t crybaby and she’s telling the fans that she’s evolving and that their words mean nothing (words being their discontent about her changing her sound etc) and to just meet her here in this world of change.

    for context: crybaby aka melanie has special powers that makes her immortal and more. in her movie ‘k-12’ they explain that she morphs into different bodies whenever she dies, and bc she’s immortal she continues her life from the dead. and finally after years she released her reincarnation from her last form in ‘k-12’. hope you understand

    5:44 This Scene Looks like a reference to the “9 of Swords” in a Tarot Deck, (I counted 9 Handles in all) but with Traditional “10 of Swords” card imagery. I couldn’t help but notice and wanted to point it out, perhaps it holds meaning for the song? Or an Easter Egg for another? ❤

      I noticed this too! 9 of swords is usually connected with fear and anxiety, and with all these mushroom visuals, I can’t help but think this entire album is about shrooms and their amazing healing effects surrounding the mind/trauma. Maybe instead of literal death, she plays into ego death, organic guidance and acceptance ❤️

    I like what you’re saying about there’s much more to death than how people see it. Yes people die. What about it? I think all living organism including us humans has souls and I think that the soul lives on than our physical bodies. There’s something mysterious about the other side or an unknown world where souls of the deceased goes to after death. We’ll never know until we die and experience the afterlife and might as well have questions you have in the back of your head.
    I feel like this song death changes the way I see life and death. Because I’ve been feeling all sort of emotions for my entire life and been struggling with mental health and depression. What I learned is that pain and suffering is temporary on earth and our souls are free of everything that pains us or makes us suffer.

    Could you at some point react to Xiu Xiu? They have a lot of different music and use lots of interesting sounds n noises! I'm in love with Portals btw, definitely Mel's best work as an artist in my opinion

    have you listened to the RWBY V9 soundtrack? i think it's fitting given V9's themes are all about rebirth and ascension

    Tristan, is there any possibility you would listen to SZA’s SOS album??
    You brought up the point of wanting to hear more artists discuss more difficult topics. I think she is one of those artists who is not afraid to do so. Demi Lovato is one of them, especially in her latest album.
    These are artists who are making sounds purely for their own creation and not for the satisfaction of mass consumption. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
