    sippy cup is in fact a continuation of dollhouse. when she says syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup, shes referring to alcohol. the mom catches the dad with his mistress and ends up killing them both which is why a bunch of words related to death are referred. she has a music video for each track so if u choose to watch them make sure to watch them in chronological order in the same way the tracks are. im glad u reacted to this album. melanie is a lyrical genius.

    Melanie puts so many details in her music and storyline, it's hard to catch all of it during the first listen but you actually did a really good job of picking up on the overall theme and story of each song which makes me really happy and shows your love for songwriting and storytelling. It doesn't happen often that I watch a whole album reaction but this one I watched all the way through because I was so interested in what you had to say about it. Melanies work is incredibly unique talking about heavy, mature topics while wrapping it in this like fantasy childish package. As you said - it's genius. And there's more of that in k-12, I would even say in that album she touches even more on society issues and not as much on personal issues like in Crybaby. But k-12 is a continuation of Crybaby (also Crybaby is like the main character in that story). What's also really cool is that Melanie literally made a full on movie out of k-12, which is worth watching as well because it helps understand the story even better as her lyrics are sometimes a little tricky to interpret. Anyways, can't wait for your reaction to k-12!!

    Cry baby album plots
    Cry baby is about being sensitive and crying out for no reason..
    Dollhouse is about how a family looks different on the outside than how they act inside the walls.
    Sippy cup is the continued story from Dollhouse. It's what really 'goes down in the kitchen' the Mum is an alcoholic, she tries drowning out the situation that her husband is cheating on her and her on child is on drugs. Melanie seeing the reality of a broken family
    Carousel is about falling in love with a guy, but it's like a game as Melanie has to chase him to try see if the guy likes her or not.
    Alphabet boy is about she knew when she was younger. The guy was learning to be a musician and back then Melanie wasn't so good. He would try and teach her, but she didn't like that and calls him out for being aggressive and overtaking her ideas.
    Soap and Training Wheels are a double feature. Soap is about Melanie telling a guy that she loves him, but it doesn't go well. Turns out the guy doesn't love her and she wants to go back to the moment before she said "I love you". Training Wheels is about Melanie in a new relationship with her boyfriend, Melanie feels like she loves him, but the relationship has gone on for a long time and has progressed too slowly that it makes her feel like this guy is riding a bicycle with stabilisers on.
    Pity party is about Melanie inviting friends to her birthday party, but nobody shows up, she feels lonely and starts questioning her decision making skills.
    Tag you're it and Milk and Cookies are a double feature. Tag you're it is about being kidnapped. Milk and Cookies is the continued story from Tag you're it and focuses on the kidnapped child being trapped by her kidnapper and tries to find a way to knock them unconscious and escape.
    Pacify her takes a step back to relationships, Melanie finds out that a boy likes her, but instead of telling her he goes out with another girl, Melanie then talks to him face to face about how weird the problem between her and his so called girlfriend is and tries to find out more about what really happened between them.
    Mrs. Potato Head is about being true to yourself and not changing your image. Like many people do, they usually have surgery to change the way they look. Melanie on the other hand in this song convinced others to stay the way they are.
    Mad Hatter is the final song of the album and is about how being called crazy is ok to her and it's ok to be a little bit strange as it's part of a human to be a little crazy. This is just focusing on how calling someone crazy might make someone feel. And this song also fits perfectly up to the start of the second album K-12 release in 2019

    I relate so much to literally every Melanie song lol, it's just that she really writes about real shit that isn't normally talked about.
    I remember being 8 years old and listening to "Dad's with a slut" and i was like, oh, my dad's unfaithful too, and then "Mom pulls out a flask" and i was like, oh, mom is drinking alcohol and smoking to forget about dad's infidelity too, and then she's like "Brother's smoking weed" and i was like, is this woman talking about me or wtf?
    And since then her music is one of the most important things to me cause cry baby really helped me in childhood from being a sad insecure kid with family issues and since i'm 13 (now i'm 15) K-12 who talks about adolescence, is still helping me out so my relationship with Melanie's music is one of a kind.

    Each song is a new part of the story about this girl named Crybaby, she’s going through life and discovering all these dark sad things and yeah the story continues with her Album k12 which I definitely recommend it and it has a movie along with it so it is easier to understand

    Crybaby album is about a fairytale character about Melanies darker side of herself. In the album we follow the growth of Crybaby from birth to kindergarten. At first in the album, crybaby is very insecure of herself, and gets called "CryBaby" and nobody wanna come to her birthday. As Crybaby gets older, she learns to accept herself more, and evolves in that way. Melanie says in some interviews that while writing the album, she also got through that same evolution herself.
    K-12. (The Movie)
    Kindergarten to 12th grade. She explains some problems she's been throug/others can relate to, through her songs, as she grows she also learns to accept, and she learns (As Lillith from her dream told her) "You have to experience the Physical pain of this world". And Crybaby learns how to take care of herself, and she's being herself.
    I really love Melanie Martinez.
    And one last thing.
    Strawberry shortcake: Is about someone who's "Feeling unsure of my naked body" and the person who's unsure of her body also gets told that it's just how boys act "Got boys acting like they aint seen skin before" as she says.
    Orange juice: About the person who's tryna help other people with eating disorders. So it's the "helpers" Pov. "i wish i could give you my set of eyes, because i know your eyes aint working" She says in the song, and i think that means something like "I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, because you can't see how beautiful you are from your own eyes" wich i really really respect.
    I hoped this helped, if some of you have any questions about Melanie, just ask them :D

    I think her "Tag You're It" experience completely changed her. In "Pacify Her", this is the first time we see her powers (music videos). With the combination of her being sensitive (Cry Baby), her family life (Dollhouse/Sippy Cup), all her relationship issues (Carousel, Alphabet Boy, Soap, Training Wheels and Pity Party) and getting kidnapped and escaping (Milk & Cookies), it pushed her over the edge which seems to be why she embraces herself in "Mad Hatter", like yes everyone I've been through some shit and I'm going to be who I am. but I think her powers came out after the trauma of getting kidnapped.

    Alphabet boy: this is about mansplaining, the guy in the song has his “bad poetry” and he’s teaching her about the alphabet and she keeps saying the song “i know my abcs yet you keep teaching me” so to me this is about mansplaining
    Tag, you’re it: this is about abuse and kidnapping, and to me it feels also like a reference to rape, the wolf man (i think the wolf is a metaphor for how he is a predator) poisons her/ sedates her and kidnaps her, and is a reference to how girls are always thinking about this happening, in my purse rn are like 3 weapons, and in the music video the cashier sees the wolf man and gives crybaby poison, which is a nod to that fact that we are always thinking about that. (Speaking of which, I recommend “boys will be boys” by dua lipa)
    Milk and cookies: this is a continuation of tag, youre it. In the music video she has to make cookies for her kidnapper, and she puts the poison that the cashier gave her in them, I think it is a similar message to tag, youre it
    Pacify her: this is about how society puts women against each other. In movies when a guy cheats, u always see the girlfriend fighting the other girl, even if the other girl doesn’t know, and the crybaby is mad at the girl that is dating the blue boy, when the blue boy is the one plotting the two girls against one another.
    Mrs. potato head: this is about how men kind of force women to change themselves into something that we are not, and in the music video, the girl is very pretty, but then the guy gets her an appointment for a face lift for her birthday, and once she gets the face lift (she cared enough about the guy to do it for him, and society was also pressuring her to do it, with all the notions of “no one will love you if you’re unattractive” ) he cheats on her cause it “doesn’t look very good”.
    This is just my translation about these songs, i didn’t do all of them because I haven’t obsessed over them long enough to form a well thought out opinion/ translation

    training wheels is my favourite because i am in love with the metaphor of this guy has ‘training wheels’ on and he won’t take them off no matter how long they’ve been together. He’s staying in his comfort zone and she’s sort of like ‘it’s not like i’m asking to be your wife’ i just want to go a bit further in the relationship. She’s guiding him through the relationship but he’s so afraid of ‘falling off the bike’ and ‘getting hurt’ that he doesn’t take off the training wheels no matter how much she reassures him that he’s safe and that she won’t let him fall and get hurt. amazing.

    In all of melanies albums she plays a character called cry baby, the song crybaby is about her mum saying she is a crybaby at birth so her brother writes crybaby on her birthday certificate, dollhouse is about the dark side of her family and the lyric “don’t let them see what goes on in the kitchen” links to sippy cup which is when her mum murders her dad in the kitchen, carousel is about her becoming love sick and trapped in a love cycle, alphabet boy is about her lover thinking they are superior over her, soap is about her falling deeply in love and saying “I love you” to her lover and she regrets it, training wheels is about her wanting her relationships go onto the next level but her lover is unsure, pity party is about her inviting her friends and lover to her party and nobody shows up, tag your it is about her getting kidnapped after her party, Milk and cookies is about her killing her kidnapper by poisoning some cookies, pacify her is about crybaby falling in love but her crush like this other girl for her looks and pacify her means “get rid of her” her crush end is going for the other woman because they flash him, Mrs potato head is about being forced into plastic surgery but then they person that forced her cheated someone made a article saying this mrs potato head is inappropriate for young girls which it is not, mad hatter is about her getting drugged and basically going crazy, there’s also other songs in the album that aren’t as big such as cake which is about being discriminated against by someone you love.
    Cry baby- about growing up
    K-12- about college
    After school ep- ending school
    Melanie uses adult situations and puts them in children situations
    I would also like to thank you for not judging Melanie for her weird type of music! I also recommend watching her film k-12! It’s a very twisted film

  • @froodlechan7867
    @froodlechan7867 3 роки тому +7

    So basic rundown of each song Crybaby is about her sharing the same feelings of another person. Dollhouse is about Fake Family Happiness. Sippy Cup is more about the mother and her drinking problem. Carousel is about chasing a man she loves around but never getting to reach his love and being stuck. Alphabet Boy us about the same man from Carousel thinking he's much smarter than her. Soap is about her wanting to forget and never talk about her love with "The Man". Training Wheels is about her helping someone who likes her get off his training wheels of love and take it to the next level. Pity Party is about her inviting people to her party and nobody showing up. Tag, You're It is about her getting kidnapped. Milk and Cookies is about her poisoning her kidnapper and escaping. Pacify Her is about her having enough with all the bad in her life and tries to take another woman's man but fails. Mrs Potato Head is about the consequences of Plastic Surgery. Mad Hatter is about her excepting the fact that she's crazy! Also you should react to her K-12 album and her After School ep with some singles she released such as CopyCat and Fire Drill!
