ok i think i kinda get it now. this is about how when you are so "intertwined" with someone, and the relationship eventually falls apart, everything becomes strange and different. i don't think this is about actual barbie murder. it's a representation of how loving sometimes changes you (barbie cutting her hair). the first time i heard this song i thought it was about being afraid of your problems becoming someone else's. i think that's what the video is about. they had too many problems, but they were so intertwined that when they finished their relationship, they weren't the same person as they were before. beautiful.
That's a really good interpretation. It makes a lot of sense.
mari sandstad thats like really smart
mari sandstad makes sense !
I think the video represent what you're saying, and what Dodie thinks the song is. She made a video about it where she explains how she and a guy (Sammy) were in a relationship and then they broke up, but they still want to be happy and friends
Represents*
I really like the part where she sings
Lynn Janssen Omigod that's my favorite part too!
Lynn Janssen omg same
Ikr
I love that part too!! :))
Lynn Janssen LMAO ME TOO
Disclaimer: Many dolls were harmed in the making of this video
Loopy Coocoo what dolls?
And a few were mentally damaged

Loopy Coocoo I would like but it's at a perfect number

"Even Barbie has depression so"
deleted Where is this quote from?
shook
deleted LOL
Is that a quote by Shane Dawson? Because it sounds like something he would say
NoButReally i believe they’re referencing the video where dodie tries to do “instagram makeup”
i think its about someone with a mental illness who has fallen in love and they don't want the other person to end up like them ie: i don't want you to bleed with me. also they are afraid of the things in their brain and how it will affect the other person.
Alberto Droguett it's a good cover and the piano chords sound very similar to the original song which was played on a ukulele
Alberto Droguett maybe she will you never know! :)
That makes me confused about the different Barbies showing up though.
Wendi Chiquirio if you notice how all the barbies are moulded into different forms which represent each feeling she talks about for example the barbie with the open brain 💕
I see the Barbies as a pretty great representation of how people with a mental illness can seem like from an outside perspective, most people might not think there's anything wrong at all. They can also represent the standard to which a person with mental illness could set for themselves (literally impossible and unattainable).
after watching dodies analysis, this video is 100x better
Corey Callejas right?
aye our last names tho
olivia calleja that's dope lmao
true
corey callejas and when you watch the making of this video it's even better, how mature (not) the directors were 😂❤
“aww this is so adorabaAHHHHH”
my thoughts exactly ahaha
I think the reason I love this video so much is because of how chaotic yet calming it is. Like yes, there is a bunch of fire, but it is in slow motion so don't worry. I think it matches the lyrics perfectly in that sense. Just my thoughts, idk.
Shelby Mason chaotic yet calming. yes. thats whats so beautiful about this song
"there is a bunch of fire, but it is in slow motion so don't worry"
hahaha, very well put
"she" deserve a music video too, this song means so much to me, ily dodie
you could say,,,,,,,,, it means everything to you ;)
bea xox ughh I am craving a studio recording and pro mv
jazmin lily SOFT AND NEAT 👋🏻
i'm just hoping she put it on her next ep omg
yesssss! it would be the best thing ever
i really love this. i personally love the soft music/vocals paired with the violent imagery, and i think the combination of the two makes the message of the song stand out more.
jordan c no I have no clue what either was about
jordan c Yeah, me too.💜
jordan c SAMEEE
jordan c i totally agree
recommend other songs please
I just got out of a mental hospital, and thus song was stuck in my head the whole time I was being transferred and the time I was there. It kept me sane. Thank you Dodie. You seriously helped me.
Bren Has Cookies hope you're ok 💓
Well done that must have been hard ❤️
Bren Has Cookies well done 😌
Hope you're doing okay 💙💙
Good job on making it through. I hope you're doing much better now, know that you are incredibly valid and beautiful. I, and so many others, will be here for you. Take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now that I understand the actual meaning of the song, the video is so much more heartbreaking because I've felt what she's felt.
Olivia Lynn whats the meaning?
@@vomit1020 How I understand it is that they're so dependent on each other that it's unhealthy.
sad. Dodie made a video explaining how she wrote it and said that it was basically about how when someone with mental health issues is in love, they might think they’re pulling the other person down with them. That’s what I got from the other vid she made, anyway.
I love that everyone at first was saying that the music video and the song didn't match because they thought it was a cute love song and thats kinda perfect because at face value and at first impressions the song seems cute and lovely like the relationship but after you look a little harder you realise what the lyrics actually say just like you realise how toxic and broken the relationship is. To passers by it seems like a cute relationship but to those that notice its unhealthy as hell
I always wonder how people manage to look past “You create a rarity of my genuine smile”
do they just not know what rarity means?
Edit: turns out that yes, not everyone watched my little pony as a kid & looked up the definition of the word bc one of the characters was named rarity 😶 my experiences are not universal
Isabel Van Dyke For the longest time, I percived that line as "you make me smile, something I don't do much" not "you make my smile dissapear"
I honestly think of it as a cute romance song when I first heard it. Its hard to explain I just a feeling it wasn't then the chorus came on and it confirmed it for me. I had a pretty calm admiration reaction of everything and I still do
It was the line hair in "your mouth" though that actually made me get the feeling
She did a video explaining the lyrics and stuff y'all should go watch that
OK, I've watched this about 10 times and here's my interpretation:
it starts out in this perfect pink house, perfect man, perfect woman, perfect homemakers. All shiny happy plastic on the surface - but plastic isn't real, it's all a facade. (see: facade as a "principal front of a building" - which we see, yet also: "a deceptive outward appearance".) "Oh, i'm afraid of the things in my brain", maybe the woman realises something isn't right with the relationship, and tries to tell her partner (the open brain image), but "we can stay here, and laugh away the fear", they choose to continue to perpetuate the veneer of happiness and choose to ignore their issues. Then the house becomes shrouded in darkness, the facade (literally and figuratively) has changed - their issues couldn't be covered up any longer and have come to the surface. So the plastic perfect woman cuts off her hair so she's not so perfect anymore; her outside appearance finally starts to match her reality. I think this is symbolic of her breaking the relationship off: her hair (the relationship) is what made looked perfect and beautiful, so she cuts herself off from it, a clean break. But it's not so clean, they're so "intertwined" that it is in fact incredible messy, and both she and her partner are incredibly hurt when it all comes to a head and what's been bubbling under the surface explodes into reality (the red liquid explosion bit, very the shining!). So when she's left on her own, "intertwined... free", she's a) not the same person anymore, she's injured from the hurt of the breakup and her loss of a shot at a perfect love and b) naked, as she has been emotionally stripped bare and is naked and vulnerable on her own. "I pinned each and every hope on you" - all her hopes of a perfect relationship were shoved onto this man, symbolized with literal pins, but it eventually got too much for him, and them both, perpetuating this perfect image and idea. Hence the image of her "old self" (note the clothes) dead - i assume this is meant to look like the exit wound from a suicide, as in she killed her old self that was defined by the relationship - we look at this through a small hole, as if it's locked up in her brain somewhere. As is the memory of her lover, he's a) a skeleton now, he's no longer in her life so is also 'dead', and b) she realised he (and their relationship) was 'dead' behind all the pretense, so that's how she remembers him. Then, the final sequence: they're looking perfect again, but she burns it all down, symbolic of how she burnt down/got rid of the illusory masquerade of a perfect love/ life that she was living by ending the relationship.
Conclusion: I LOVE IT. I look at the song very differently now, and I love the darker style.
EllasDayOff omg
EllasDayOff wow
EllasDayOff omg
EllasDayOff bitcH yES
EllasDayOff holy shit. You're my favourite commenter in this comment section
i got serious dont hug me im scared vibes from this
gosh analysis from watching this at 1am: i love this song but the video gave me some sERIOUS hebee-jebees
i had a heart attack every time the vocals stopped lol i should stop watching things like this when its late
Ok but have you seen monster?
Salad fingers
The reason I love this video so much is that it really illustrates what it feels like to have mental illness. I felt so uneasy watching this whilst listening to a beautiful song at the same time. I think those who see mental illness from an outside perspective might not truly understand how it feels, yes the song is sad, but that’s not all it is when you listen closely. From the bleeding at the ohs to the burning at the hms really shows how one might cry out for help, getting none, will calm oneself down and say everything will be fine. It’s not fine and the next day this numb feeling continues and it controls you and hurts you as you hum in pleasureful hopelessness. This music video spoke to me in a way that I would have never understood purely listening to the song as I am bad at analyzing lyrics. I could tell that the ohs were cries and I could tell the hums were numbness and I can say that this was what I needed to see to feel less alone in this horrible stage of my life. Mental illness isn’t sad, it’s sickly, and torture that no human should suffer through for so long... I don’t know what else to say, if anyone is reading this knows how I feel please I would love to talk I believe this music video is beautiful. I believe life is beautiful no matter how uneasy it may make me feel at times.
Kiley McGroder i feel absolutely the same way. i feel like either you think this video is creepy and weird, or it gives you these intense feelings deep within yourself. it all depends on your mental state. i think thats the perfect example of the world, how you cant really understand mental health issues until youve been through them or are going through them yourself
Kiley McGroder I agree, I absolutely perhaps not loved it, but I cherish it. And I feel it’s so important.
Kiley McGroder I haven’t been diagnosed with a mental illness but I feel there’s something wrong with me. I constantly feel guilt and I always have the feeling of when you first find out a family member has died. I sometimes find it hard to breathe because of the pressure feeling being put on my heart and overall I constantly want to hurt myself. I think I need help I know this isn’t normal. I feel like I’m bringing my boyfriend down with me because before he was with me he made fun of like the stereotype of ‘emos’ and them being depressed but when he got with me and I opened up to him for the first time he said he feels guilty because now he knows how serious mental illness is. Whenever I talk about my problems I feel like I’m making him upset I don’t know what to do
i love you 😊
This is so genuine and it most definitely illustrates how I see this video and song as well. I'm always free to talk if you'd like
Quick question: how many barbie dolls do you think were broken in this video?
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Antonia Hendriks Maybe 20. Maybe more, if you consider the fact that some dolls had to be redone to meet requirements. And this video took a lot of scenes depicting each doll, and there was a lot of detail going into it. :P
plus, from what i can see, i think they used the curvy barbie. Maybe its just cos of the close up.
Antonia Hendriks all of them
Antonia Hendriks 82
I feel that too often people don't take someone saying that they have a mental illness or mental condition too seriously, especially if it's not obvious. True, it is sometimes easy for someone who isn't actually ill to fake it or think they are actually a sufferer, but that's why I like this video. It breaks away from the norm and shows the side of things that people usually don't want to or like seeing and hearing. That things aren't OKAY, that it's not just IN MY HEAD, that it's GOING TO PASS with time or ITS JUST A PHASE.
The dollhouse represents the persona's life as well as her mind, specifically the world to her mind. She's scared because she doesn't trust her mind. She has someone close by her side, and she is hoping that they can be the ones to ease her world and shoulder all the fears she has. All the scenes are things the persona imagines, scenes and things her head throws out at her that feel real and scary to her even though they may not actually be real. She lashes out, or thinks she does. The persona's biggest fear is that she one day will not be able to take it any more or that she one day will not be able to tell the difference and her mental illness will overwhelm her sense of reality and logic.
The house burning at the end represents to her the feeling of her world crumbling around her, or burning in this case (burning hurts more and it sure feels painful). And even till the end the person is by her side, not fully knowing what is going on in her head, how can he? And all she can do as she is suffering in her mind is cling on to him and his image. That's what this video is about. Her fear of what's going on in her head, how much the person means to her because she is scared what will happen if he isn't there, and how it feels to suffer a mental condition and have the world look on you the way they do.
+
Ming Wei The fire scene to me was more of her feeling guilty about the idea she might be setting her relationship on fire with her mental issues. The guilt of dragging someone through that war with you and having to experience you at your worst which after time can eventually wear the other person down. or at least this is a fear or mine/something i can relate to.
NAOMIKVED that actually is a very good way to look at it, I certainly don't disagree with it. In the end, the persona ends up feeling broken and ruined because she has these things in her head and she cannot control them. It really is a very deep song once you look at it with this video in perspective.
NIGGA.. Thats some deep shit
Ming Wei yez
Skin
Heat
Hair in your mouth
Feet touching feet
Oh you
And I
Safe from the world
Though the world will try
Oh, I'm afraid of the things in my brain
But we can stay here
And laugh away the fear
Numb
Fine
You create a rarity of my genuine smile
So breathe
Breathe with me
Can you drink all my thoughts?
'Cause I can't stand them
Ooh, oh
O-oh, oh, oh
Intertwined
Free
I've pinned each and every hope on you
I hope that you don't bleed with me
I'm afraid of the things in my brain
But we can stay here
And laugh away the fear
Hmm, hmm
Hmhmm
Thanks♡♡

Lol!
So interesting that so many people are saying that the song doesn't fit this music video. It's a beautiful song, of course, but I've always found it a bit ?!, like the line "I've pinned every hope on you, I hope you don't bleed with me". Within the song itself there's the sense of layers - the outer layer, all idealised and pretty (aka it sounds beautiful) in contrast with the lyrics, which when you fully listen to, are quite dark (I think Dodie describes this song as how she would be clingy in love - yeah, to unhealthy level perhaps). I think this video really brings that out; maybe it's a bit extreme at times (like I wasn't too fond of the sea of blood) but then why should art always sit within what we like, in a comfortable nicety when reality (with all its horrors) is kind of interesting and beautiful in its own right. Wow that got super deep real quick.
Yess I totally agree!! You've found a way to put in words the thing about the layers of the song - like it has a double meaning almost.
Izzy Inkpen mmmMMMMMMMm
doddleoddle AAAAAA I LOVE YOUUUU AND YOUR MUSIC!
Izzy Inkpen I think you describe my feelings about the song and music video quite perfectly! I always though the song was beautiful, but there were no doubt in my brain about an undertone of horror...
love this
I didn't know Shane Dawson and dodie did a collab
Lol
Hehe
hahahahaha fck men!
Amy LPS Productions 😂😂😂
Amy LPS Productions
Really?!?! That was uncalled for!
I love the contrast in this video. It begins with a perfect Barbie and Ken (that being the relationship) and then slowly but surely, the lyrics get darker and the scenes get darker as if to show the unearthly pain that can be felt in those relations...
It took a second viewing, but I am completely in love with this video now.
Emma Hooper same dude
I'm listening to this song while crying about dan and phil leaving their apartment 😭😭😭
Shona Mc09 Same😭😭😭
Shona Mc09 oh my god, same 😂😍
Emma Hooper the first time watching this I was like what so I watched the analysis from dodie and i watched it again so now it's so beautiful
Why is no one talking about how insanely talented Sammy is?
ikr!!!
Nymphadora Tonks yessss and nice username :))
Nymphadora Tonks I'm a new fan, is dodie's real name Sammy?
Nah, Sammy Paul's the guy who directed this video.
Señor Coventry oh ok
I have to be honest, before knowing the context, I thought that this song was perfect for me and my boyfriend. As time went on, I realized our dependency for each other, and it ended in him dumping me for his ex, where they were both even more dependent on each other. This song makes me cry, because I associated it with how I thought things were fine, but as time progressed, it became more painful. the line "I pinned each and every hope on you, I hope you dont bleed with me." is so relevant, because I pinned all my happiness on a guy who threw away my love for a girl that never appreciated him, and he pinned his happiness on his ex, who promised him happiness if he came back.
i was in this situation 3 months a go too
this is art
agreed :)
There is so much passion in her voice❤️
Dodie is so talented.
ikr
Alain Bruno I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
chris friemiento random ab profile guy, hey
chris f. has a dog picture as his profile pic.
I'm getting a slight Don't Hug Me I'm Scared vibe
Exactly!!!

TheEnglishSimmer - This reminded me of The shinning so much!
Hi Mollie!
WELL HELLO MOLLIE!
TheEnglishSimmer HEYYYY
Didn't expect you to be here XD Love you Mollie!
I like how you used proper grammar
‘You...
and I’
Same
IKR? Most people will put ‘You and me’
I feel like there was weeks of anticipation since Sammy and Dodie tweeted about how unusual this was and I was preparing myself for something mediocrely disturbing at most and yet here I am fucking shook by blood explosions fire and a fucking mince brain
the mince brain was the creepiest.
I saw a doll house exactly like this at a car boot today and my sister thinks I'm a psycho because I made a joke about how I want to set it on fire
forgetting she probably hasn't seen this
katieisnotoriginal I had a doll house that looked like that one when I was little so the video kinda creeps me out
DAMN IT VEVO GIVE THIS WOMAN A CONTRACT ALREADY!!! I NEED ALL HER SONGS IN MY LIFE!!! THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW HER!! 😭

Art isn't meant to be beautiful it's meant to make you think and it's meant to make you think of your own definition for it hence why people are all putting there own suggestions in the comments...
Isla TM It’s mental illness. As Dodie has explained in her video.
@@beschornerfamily9593 It's mental illness for *dodie*. Art is subjective, and the artist can't tell people how to feel when looking or listening to their piece.
This brings out a side to the song that I somehow hadn't even considered before...I definitely prefer it through this lens!
I interpret the song as an unhealthy relationship, with one of them possibly having a mental illness (hence the "pinned each and every hope on you"). It's just my opinion, though~
FloraLuna same
is it just me or does one of the scene look like Don't hug me I'm scared? when they are sitting in the table 0:36
Meriana Martinez I thought of that too
Meriana Martinez every scene looks like don't hug me I'm scared :$
Meriana Martinez That's literally what I was thinking
Lol ikr
I thought we've agreed to never be creative again...
1:27 aww nice and peaceful
1:30 HOLY JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL
THIS WENT FROM CUTE BARBIES TO WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS
For me it's not about a toxic relationship. It's about feeling toxic yourself, like your sickness will spread to the one you love most. You've pinned you're hopes on them, because you're lost and afraid, drowning even. Terrified you'll end up pulling them under with you. Made ever more awful by seeing the cracks. Everything has to be fine, you have to go numb to even manage, otherwise lose yourself to despair.
maybe its just me projecting onto the music, but this is my interpretation: theyre in a relationship, and a comfortable one at that. but she starts getting an off feeling (mental illness, problems in relationship, up to interpretation) but she pushes past it, because they love each other and they can work past this, right? they'll laugh away the fear. but things start getting worse. and its to a point where they cant ignore their problems anymore. its killing them both. but they love each other, they're intertwined. they can make it through this, they have to. but in the end, they cant. theres too much damage done. too much blood spilled. they have to end their relationship, and its the most painful thing. the fire, destroying them, destroying what they built, what they had. the fire is the end, and they cant rebuild from it.
but thats just what i thought.
Wow I feel like this is really true though
Gianna Mehes deep
Gianna Mehes Omg, this cleared things up. I thought this was just plain disturbing until you said all that. It's actually fairly deep. Lol.
Ayase Shirei Rizimi it made me cry
Gianna Mehes Dodie has made a video on what the song means to her. If you want to check it out go onto Dodies vlog channel. :)
"I hope that you don't bleed with me."
After you watch Dodie's analysis it makes the video way batter and also made me look at the video in an entirely different way. I love that song and art mean different things to different people and to me that shows how unique each person is and how their mid works. I love it. Also this song is amazing and the soft music compared to the violent images as well as the contrast in lyrics makes a big impact.
Well done Dodie and the people involved in the making of the video you should all be proud!!

WHATS GOING ON I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A CUTE SONG OH MY GOD
Ju Lynn Ong The song is about mental illnesses so it makes you think, look at the lyrics
Ju Lynn Ong sAMe I am SHOOKETH
Some think it's about the abusive relationship she was in as a bunch of her old songs are about that; one for the road, pas de deux. And she was trying to reason with herself and make herself think it was a good relationship but her slowly realizing that it was un-healthy and abusive.
+Eunoia oh I didn't consider that. I just thought that the violence and horror were supposed to reflect both of their individual mental turmoil. like they are both broken and their house is burning but it's okay because they still have each other.
I THOUGHT SO TOO!!
I don’t know how I missed that this was about a toxic relationship before this.
“I’m afraid of the things in my brain
“You create a rarity of my genuine smile”
Sara Emily it sounds more like the other partner in the relationship is mentally ill, it’s hard dating someone who is.
Art isn't meant to be pretty. It's meant to make you think and come to your own realization about the piece of artwork. This realization can have a specific & different meaning to you than everyone else. Art is meant to show us a brief reflection into our soul.
I wish we could analyse this for my English GCSE instead of Macbeth....
Exactly
JammyBand lmao i understand completely
Are you telling me this doesn't even remotely remind you of Macbeth
JammyBand Macbeth is so interesting though
JammyBand YES

"I am so happy about the slight confusion (and possible controversy) towards the intertwined video! It's doing exactly what the song intended"
"I wrote it intending to be a lil bit fucked up. Sammy captured it perfectly. I'm so pleased about the intelligent response. Thank you sm
1:39 when you're on your period
its from japab what the fuck I relate sm
Lmao yes 😂
OMFG SO TRUEEE
The monthly bloody Niagara falls
I was thinking that lmao (sorry I'm so late)
I was so scared of this video at first, but now I'm honestly so mesmerised by it. So much skill put into making it. An absolute masterpiece.
you guys are saying that this "ruined the song" for you but if you really listen to the lyrics, the music video makes alot of sense. a work of art.
Mike Wheeler hi your name and profile picture are freaking amazing ILYSM
The video is just the right amount of fucked up
and im a bit more fucked up than most
Not Jeff You're probably not
Not exactly if you listen to the lyrics.
Fucked up in a good way.
Like u
Barbenheimer
this video gave me an anxiety attack so that was fun
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat and looking through the comments and the first time I listened to it. Same-
The new "This is fine" meme
Emerald Kelsi Omg Yes xD
that's actually so creative
wait that took a kind of dark twist
x chrisa x SAME
Never knew barbie was a serial arsonist
omg this brings me back to my dodie days
aiiiiii i'm so in love with her voice at 2:06 when she sings "with me"
Does anyone else absolutely love this? I don't see where all the hate is coming from I think it's a work of art and considering how long it must have taken to put together and perfect I think some people are being a little quick to judge and should perhaps keep the negativity to themselves. We should be congratulating dodie and everyone else on their hard work not dismissing it just because it's slightly different. A bit of madness is key
Alana Banana I thought it was beautiful
Thank you! Absolutely agree with you!
I wholesomely loved it so, so much.
Alana Banana I do love it I think it's fucking awesome but like in some ways it takes me to real bad places and it gives me a weird bit of anxiety so I understand both sides of people not liking it and those who love it cause that was g8 but yea
I agree, honestly as someone who has depression it kind of made me feel a bit ill. Like it showed me how disturbing my thoughts used to be (I'm a lot less depressed now) but at the time they didn't seem that bad. Like I feel like it needs a content warning but I'm not sure for what :P
The line "I'm afraid of the things in my brain" really spoke to me. I related to this song and I wish everyone could understand. It really made me think of the contrast of my depression and my anxiety. I just love it so much! Please make another song on this topic! 💕
I remember this was the first official music vid I saw from dodie and I just sat there like
wot
I honestly wasn't expecting this. loved it! My fave vevo channel
**hufflepuff hug**
IBlameNargles yay! *hugs💛
hufflepuff pride !! 💛
sunflower yes!💛🐣
that hufflepuff chick HUFFLEPUFFFUFUFFUFUFUFUUF
my theory is that both the barbies live in a picture perfect home, they are both gorgeous individuals and seem to be perfect from just looking in. But when barbie opens up her demons to ken (when she shows her brain) things start to take a gory turn and they try to hide up her mental issues with sex. Ken is trying to ignore barbies issuesand it slowly drives her to insanity, i think that the 'blood' that is poured on them thoughout the video is also like there minds and how they feel inside and thought the toxic relationship they have both changed for the worst because they were hiding how they really thought on the inside, refusing to try to help eachother and hiding it with sex. idk just my thoughts

This fucked me up.
Fam her analysis was like, amazeballs, but this fucking comment is what gets me.
What the fuck.
FUCK
THERIPSAT-EY HIM UP!!
i am a simple person.
i wont even think.
i like voice. **insert derp here**
Didn't Dodie have a toxic relationship like this? In the video "Angry"? That would definitely explain why she would write a song about it.
dodie is such an inspiration, i love that she isn't afraid of speaking about mental illnesses
I can not unsee this.
WHY HELLO WHAT WAS THIS LITTLE PIECE OF JOY THAT POPPED UP IN MY INBOX
Wow that was scary yet soothing and not what I was expecting it changed my whole view on the album.
Sierra Rambles A Lot I'm actually
laufinf
this video was scary at first but now?
i see it.
Dil Howlter what do you see? i'm so confused what everyone sees is so different i'm so confuuuused
Dil Howlter same buddy
Ikr! First it was scary but when you watch it twice (and read top comment*wink*), it kinda makes sense!
Hey Dil
Dil Howlter I watched it and was disturbed, watched her meaning behind it, watched the video of them making it, then back here and smiled. It's so good man
well that took a turn
it was so nice and soothing......
*AND THEN THE BRAIN AND JUST EVERYTHING JUST WENT DOWNHILL LIKE DAMN*
ikr
HAHAHA IM CRYING IM SO PROUD OF YOU DODIE YOU LITTLE BEAN I REMEMBER JUST A SECOND AGO STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL WITH JUST UNDER 70,000 NOW LOOK AT YOU!! YOU GO GIRL 💞💞💞💞
Sorry I'm so emo over this rn
Marsor something
You look like my next girlfriend
Marsor something are u ok man
Haha yes I'm just very proud of her :)
Okay but the dolls convey so many emotions without ever changing their expression and like H O W
Dark and twisted and sinister all hidden carefully behind a fake smile. Love it.
This music video is incredible! The song has a sweet outside and is about something very serious and the dolls show that so well. Barbie dolls are a sign of innocence yet the music video is so perfectly fucked up. I love it and live for it!
i love the line "i pinned each and every hope on you, i hope that you don't bleed with me" because the irony and nonsensicalness of "pinning" someone (in a way that MAKES them bleed) with the hope that they DONT bleed, is e x a c t l y how it feel to fall in love while battling mental illness
I think the great thing about music is that it can be interpreted in so many different ways. The "vibe" that everyone is talking about is so subjective to the listener. There have been very few music videos that have made me see the song from a different perspective, and this is one of them! I love how it made me feel so many different things, and after it was over I actually spent time thinking about it and reflecting instead of just clicking to another random music video. I love this!
Jenna Ward agreed well said
The great thing about art, my dear
this feels more like art than a music video. well done Dodie! (And video making team)
music videos are art though
Chloe Brierley ^
Chloe Brierley according to Dodie, actually this was all down to Sammy and 'crew' 😂💛
Sammy paul made this music video btw
dodie only produced the song
I always thought this was a comforting and cute song. I just watched the music video for the first time and am loving the double meanings. It's morbidly fascinating and very well-executed
unus annus
my idea about the song is that they try to make it seem like they're in a perfect relationship and they both become consumed by each other and the facade of barbie like perfection
I'm low key disturbed
I changed my mind *high-key
Melthatfangirl pham
Melthatfangirl same
I can't stop watching this, it's just so beautiful. It's literal art. I want this played at my wedding, birthday party, funeral, evERYTHING
aya grace THANK
doddleoddle dodie go to sleep 😂
doddleoddle no thank YOU for the most amazingly beautiful music eveR
OMFG ME TOO
UGH that little sniffle and giggle at the end!! Life is so beautiful. I'm so infinitely grateful to share this lifetime with you Dodie.
I choose to continue to interpret this as a cute love song about people who have mental illness but find comfort in each other and laugh away the fear together.
My SO and I find strength in each other, we're stronger together than we could ever be apart.
all the negative comments proves what the video is trying to say. the song sounds cute, the dollhouse looks cute, so you assume this was going to be a sweet arrangement just like you have an idea how Dodie should sing and write and make cute, positive videos. but no, everything is falling apart no matter how soft you try to be about it and she's here with a message on how she's “afraid of the things in my brain”. so stop trying to force your perfect sweet expectations onto her because this is her music, not yours. we need to encourage each other to express themselves instead of tucking all our problems away.
Preach my dude!
Yvonne Pan What about "but we can stay here and laugh away the fear"?. This song may not be exactly positive but it's hopeful, even though being realistic is a love song. And I always thought that's what makes it so beautiful. I felt so related the first time I heard the lyrics, as I have felt that sensation of warmth when someone makes you forget your demons for a while. It may not be cute but it is beautiful, not scary as this video is. The song never anticipates everything is going to fall apart, it is filled with hope. She even said she wrote it thinking about how it would be to be in love at that present moment. Therefore, I don't see the video fitting for it at all.

eykyra hmm, i definitely see what you mean. i agree that when you put it that way it does seem like she's saying “I'm messed up but you can help me escape that for a while”. so here's a another thought: maybe they are in love and it's all very freeing and perfect, hence the dollhouse symbolism. perhaps this video served to illustrate that her personal demons take over sometimes, but as the last lines are still hopeful, maybe the next time they won't. I'm sorry if my comment sounded like invalidating your personal interpretations; I am speaking against the ones who openly criticise this is too “dark” coming from Dodie, but as for the meaning of the song itself, it's up for debate.
Yvonne Pan Yes, I understand you but I don't see that hope anywhere in the video. An ending with all burning in flames is like the most obvious symbol for "it's not going to work". But that is pretty subjective so I understand that not everyone sees it the same way. I don't know if this is too dark for dodie but it is too dark for this song, in my opinion. She has some songs with a more pessimistic feeling, like when, but this is definitely not one of them. So I understand that a lot of people are commenting on that.
I love this because it's like a lil hidden message behind the song. It's about love, but there are negatives to love. And this kinda shows that there is a lot of chaos in what seems to be a calm, put-together, and happy relationship. It's not all feet touching feet and intertwining bodies. There are pieces of it that you just can't shake.
