e r r o r me too bc I have been in bad times and ppl that I am close to just talk to me like nothing is wrong,mostly bc I dont talk about my problems and in those times the ppl I am close to ask me "hey are u ok?" As if I just fell on the sidewalk
Ruby Diamond:p it’s hard for me too my parents don’t believe me they think I’m doing all for attention even when I had a visible eating disorder. I don’t know I’m gonna do
This isn't my fav, but she definitely should have focused on her music instead of... whatever this has been. I come by to listen to her songs every once in a while, but she has pissed me off so much that I can't binge play them or enjoy them in the same way I use to. It's just sad nostalgia now.
Okay here’s my theory: Each of the previous six songs are part of Gabbie’s life and are represented by the chairs. Out loud was when she lost someone important. Satellite was when she felt isolated by that loss. Honestly was when she met someone else but soon saw their dark side. Monster was her reflection of her life thus far and how she keeps losing people and she starts to blame herself. After everything that happened in monster, she goes to therapy where she has to decide if she wants to “medicate”. We see Gabbie from monster, which haunts her as she sits in what looks like a support group in therapy and reminds her of how she pushes people away. Essentially, this is the aftermath of her previous songs. Gabbie has also said she didn’t love satellite (despite it still being amazing) and that’s why there’s less representation than the other songs.
I feel like I’m reading too much into it but I think it’s a symbol of an intervention. Cause like if you go into AA or any kind of group therapy thats the chairs they have.
When she says “I’m unwell thanks for asking” to an empty room it hits me hard because it shows that no one actually asks because mental health is still an uncomfortable topic for people to talk about so no matter how much you struggle you have to hide it which ultimately just makes everything so much worse and confusing.
I am Kylark I can talk to my friends about it, but I can’t talk to my parents about it. I get that it’s scary but I think it really helps sometimes just to let it all out at once with someone who doesn’t judge you for it. I hope you find it easier in the future
@@tori9912 I was raised by a narcissistic mother that really destroyed my trust in people to hear me and no judge me. Just life. I talk to my husband, but not about everything.
I am Kylark Shit, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad you have someone to speak to for the most part now though. If it helps there are so many places online where you speak to people anonymously
Not sure if Gabbie will ever see this, but she released this song right when I was advised to go on medication for my anxiety and depression. Every lyric in this song is something I can relate to literally and in a non literal way. I hope she knows how much she helps other people.
Same girl, " change the chemicals inside my brain , I worry I won't be the same but I guess that's point." The lyrics always seem to punch me but don't worry it does get better and taking medication is scary but it will work and you will get better.
@@teleportingpotatoe That’s not always true, I was diagnosed with major depression that had been going on for years, and going on Zoloft combined with therapy changed my life. Sometimes it is just the chemicals inside your brain fucking you over. Taking something for it doesn’t make you weak!
THIS IS AMAZING. sorry to say this but I have never considered Gabbie's singing career a real thing. Like I thought she was making "okay" music just for fun. But after monster and this, I am really changing my mind. Gabbie could actually be a hit singer!
Nora A I think monster is ok, but THIS, I *LOVE* this! It sounds so professional and like she’s actually good at singing (I’m sure her voice has been tuned at points, that’s normal, but it doesn’t sound... obvious or bad in ANY way! Love it :))))
I feel this song isn't about someone else, its about her missing herself. Missing herself without medication, how she felt emotions. With many medicines all emotions are effected and just seem so much more dull. The more vibrant intense version of her is the part of her wanting to come back, its the true her. While the the other is her medical haze, just watch the difference is singing. Hazy Gabbie is very foggy and soft while the intense her is strong and full of emotion.
Yes, I truly feel like this is what she’s trying to express, this doesn’t feel like a “heartbreak but let’s make it a bop” kinda song, it actually feels like she’s lost. It’s such an expressive, powerful song and it blows me away
OMG I REALIZED THE VISUAL OF THE MUSIC VID IS SHE’S IN A SUPPORT GROUP EXPRESSING HER FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS BUT THERES NOBODY THERE TO TRULY SUPPORT HER OTHER THAN HERSELF AND THATS WHY THE CHAIRS ARE EMPTY, AND GABBIE STARTS TALKING TO HERSELF, (this could be a hint toward 2 way mirror) !! ❤️
It's a double entendre - there's a song on her album called "Perfect Day (A True Story)" where she apparently got out of the shower at her S.O.'s place and "
I get where you're coming from. And, this definitely my favorite song by her. Not all her music is good but it's getting better and more refined as she practices/writes more.
I need to thank you for helping to normalize mental health as someone who’s “Medicate”ed for depression anxiety and ADHD i originally thought this song was going to be portraying being medicated like the media and show it as a fun thing but this is song is not only a bop but a real portrayal of how it feels to be put on pills and how it’s actually really scary and how you feel as if they’ll change you. So really thank you
RtheApocalypse I feel the pain you’re going through. I do too have ADD, anxiety, and depression. The pill bottles are overwhelming. I’m really thankful for Gabbie’s song. Stay strong my dude, remember that you’re not the only one going through things like these. ❤️
I've been dealing with an alcohol addiction since I was 16. I'm 30. I sent this song to my dad bc we have always been so close but he always acted like antidepressants were the answer and overcoming alcoholism and bipolar was so easy and recently decided to no longer be a part of my life because he simply couldn't handle my relapses. I sent him this song now that I'm finally doing well..to show him the struggle I went through because he always said medication is the answer...and how he abandoned me..the empty chairs...this video and song was perfect. Opened his eyes. We have a better relationship now. Thank you Gabbie.💕❤💕❤
Abandoning you because he didn't want to enable or deal with your toxic behavior? Everyone has issues and they need to take responsibility for them. That was YOUR addiction, no one should be forced to deal with the negativity of your choices or deal with you guilt tripping them.
@@MickeyMicMiccoonYou know it’s not that black and white right? And OP wasn’t saying that they expect everyone to be there for them now you’re just being a rude when you know nothing about their life and have little context. Please don’t assume a persons whole damn life and struggle based off of one damn comment.
ok this is much better for your voice. I can genuinely say this is your best song, by a long shot. It suits your tone perfectly, and we can really hear the passion in the lyrics and your voice. Bravo
This video is so simple yet SO POWERFUL. That feeling of watching yourself crumble and not knowing how to stop it is the emotions i took from it. Beautiful Gabbie.
I'm covered head to toe in goosebumps. I was heavily medicated for years after my best friend committed suicide. I recently found out that due to my genetics (I did genetic testing) I cannot be medicated by pharmaceuticals for my depression or anxiety. So for years, I put this shit in my body, and it didn't even help. This song hits home so hard. Thank you Gabbie for making this song. I absolutely love it.
so a recurring theme in all of the 2-way mirror music videos is the black chair. I am not the first person to realize this but the black chair almost always represents HIM. In Honestly, Gabbie kicked away the chair to show she was done with him. In A Perfect Day she is clinging to the chair, she doesn't want to give HIM up but she knows it's a toxic relationship, and in the end, she throws the chair, finally leaving HIM. In Medicate, she is surrounded by the chairs, a support group without support, but also surrounded by HIM. She can't escape these thoughts and turns to anti-depressants to try to help her. (I am probably looking too into this and I would like to credit everyone who thought of these things before me, though I can't name specific people)
Maybe the yellow chair in butterflies represents the hope she had for the relationship and the black chair represents how that hope just died. Perfect Day- She starts realizing the lying of HIM but the chair isn't completely out of the picture by the end it's still ever so slightly in the picture which represents her forgiving and going back to him after he pleads for forgiveness Honestly- Fed up with all of his lies she kicks the chair out of her life thus representing ending the relationship which starts the chapter of her sinking into depression because she is still doubting herself and whether or not she is the problem Monster- the chair is now gone but her mental health is now deteriorating and she is wondering and beginning to become convinced that she is the problem as to why people leave her Medicate- The chair is everyone she has lost or just the ghost of her ex and how he still affects her and she has to deal with everything he put her through and other problems by herself so she tries to fix the problems he created with medication
I love the imagery and I think you could be right, LivTheTiger. Before "Butterflies" and "Perfect Day" were released, I always thought of this as a conversation with herself. Like the medications and depression are numbing herself so much that she can't feel her true self anymore. When the second Gabbie comes into the picture (her real self), it's like she's reaching out, trying to reconnect with who she really is, not the Gabbie that is spiraling (being cheated on plus all of her other mental health struggles). Gabbie has always been open about her struggles with depression and anxiety and I think "Medicate" touches me because I also struggle with mental health issues. I would love for Gabbie to make a video explaining the imagery and meaning behind the songs and videos on her album!
Same.. and yeah it definitely sounds that she found her perfect voice. It sounds so gorgeous and effortless (not that it is), but you know what I’m saying, now that she really found her voice❣️
just a theory: the gabbie with the leather jacket is another gabbie. That gabbie is trying to tell her that this medication cant just make your past disapear. But since the gabbie with comfy clothes is taking the medication, she wants to trust the medication to get rid of her past because she’s so heart broken. also THERE WERE BARS ON THE WINDOWS OR WAS IT JUST ME
Out loud comes out "now this is my favorite song" Satellite comes out "wait now this is my favorite song" Honestly comes out "No wait now this is my favorite song" Monster comes out "now this is my favorite song" Medicate comes out "OH MY GOD this is beautiful"
I think monster is her representation of her trying to make him an excuse to stay with him. She is self doubting and is starting to think she is the monster from his manipulative ways.
@@louie8202 let’s all be honest SHE is a person, and incredibly talented at that. Maybe think before you type next time, you never know how your words will affect them and what they are going through
(Gabbie, please give your thoughts on this theory) Gabbie's sweatshirt has the same stripe pattern as in the flashbacks of Out Loud, only the colors are faded and worn. You can also see that the warehouse she's sitting in is the same place as the ending of Out Loud when the two kiss and walk away. This song takes place AFTER Out Loud; that song was about losing someone, this depicts the pain you feel long after losing someone. She's sitting alone in the warehouse with the same stripes on, reliving their times together. Only he's gone, and she's hurting. It was a long time ago (hence the fade on the stripes) but pain doesn't always heal with time. EDIT: k but why did Gabbie heart almost ever comment under mine but just upright ignore me? (Also thanks for the likes guys! 😁)
She deserves to be in prison for life for attempting to ruin a guys life by making up lies. Wonder how many other guys life she has ruined but didn't get caught?
The Darkness bitch don’t even bring up past drama. Her “lie” can’t even compete with all the shit rice gum has pulled. Lmfao you clearly still can’t see the massive L ricegum has taken after that content cop. Way to live in the past you salty 9 year old
Rochelle K rice gum Also she didn’t even lie she said “punched” instead of “hit” (I think, something along those lines) and almost immediately corrected herself, and didn’t even press charges, which she should have lol. Rice gum is a piece of shit and we all know it!
This song didnt touch me personally at first. Yes, I love the message, and yes, I can completely understand the emotions behind it, but I've almost always known I need to medicate due to.... suicidal thoughts. But I showed this to my mom and she opened up to me about a lot of things I'd never really known. She had been on antidepressants ever since my little sister was born due to postpartum depression. A year later, my dad passed away due to cancer. Any time she went in to her doctor, he prescribed her more and more and more, and she said she never really felt like she was allowed to grieve in that time. She eventually went off them but it was a good while later. Your song touched my mom in a very deep way and made her feel a little less alone, at least for a little while, and for that I cant thank you enough gabbie.
I was a heroin addict for eight years, on methadone now unfortunately, trying to get off it is really hard. I'm still on xanax.. this song really speaks to me.. thank you. Edit: thank you all for the support and love seriously helps a lot 💕💕💪🏻 and thank you Gabbie for liking!♥️
If you live in a place that allows Kratom, I really really suggest you try it out. I promise you it's a life changer. If you can find a supplier on Craigslist, do that, or order online, it'll save you a lot of money.
OMG THE EASTER EGG IS THAT THE SECOND GABBIE IS FROM MONSTER (LEATHER JACKET), THE CHAIRS ARE FROM HONESTLY, AND THE BUILDING IS ALSO FROM OUT LOUD. IT ALL TIES TOGETHER!!! YOU CAN ALSO HEAR "IM A MEDICAL DOCTOR" IN A FEW SPOTS. ALSO WHEN THE OTHER GABBIE COMES, BARS ON THE WINDOW SHOW UP. GOD DAMN GABBIE!! YOU GOT US SHOOK!! THE SONG IS AMAZING 💊 LOVE YOU SIS ❤️
the way she’s singing in this compliments her voice SO WELL. i didn’t realize (via her other songs) how pretty her voice is. this is definitely the way to go. the style, the key, the tempo, all of it.
I am an alcoholic, a little over a year sober. And this song is fucking AMAZING. Yes gabbie!!! I have kept up w you now and then for the past few years and this is by far your best work.
@@danielletasker1132 i think is once an alcoholic always an alcoholic. don't know though I thought it was like depression it's still there even though you've been feeling better
@@jeleeandcrystal1370 aw, I want to send you a big healing hug 💖 hope that you are somewhere with fall and alot of trees, so that they can paint you beautiful scenarios everyday for the next couple of months, to distract you a little from all the darkness in your life and your mind 🙏🍃🍁 And I know everyone calls rainy weather "bad weather" but with rubber boots and a good rainsuit I rly feel it's the most calming time to walk around! Much less people around and the sound+smell of the rain is so calming- espécially in the woods!😍 And even if you are in a city, the rain makes all the lights so beautiful as they're all reflecting so sparkly on the wet, shiny roads! Beauty in your everyday life is all around when you start getting an eye for it- and again, it's good distraction for the mind 🌟🍀🌸🌈🌇 If I need to go somewhere with less positive or less predictable surroundings I always plug in some music and then just imagine everything being a music video i'm passively walking through- it's quite useful when you're anxious, imo ^^ Which I have no idea if you are, I'm just desperate for you to find some things to brighten up your life 🙈🌸
BionicPIG felt lots of potential in you and just came out with a video saying that you made a good song that he loved and I'm like "aight before I watch that let me check out Gabbie" since I already loved Honestly. Holy shit this song was fantastic. Not just the production or video, but the lyrics fully resonate with me, and I'm sure a lot of other people. And your voice has greatly improved to, damn girl.
@Turquoise Cheetah it's not necessarily the lyrics that are good, you're right, it's pretty cliche, but the sound, the piano in the background, everything about this song sounds really good. She's not a very good singer but whoever worked on her vocals did a really good job. It's overall really good song.
When I first heard your song, in my head I imagined you sitting in a similar place but a therapist was sitting across from you. Then once I saw no one there and transferring to Healthy Gabbie talking to Sick Gabbie, it had me thinking. You were your own therapist trying to figure out "Do I really need medicine or am I just sad?" Wondering if theres a permanent way to feel okay or if its only temporary before you spiral down again. Then turning your tragedies into a work of art is taking all of the pain you endured and turning them into masterpieces like you exactly did with this song. I've never theorized this heavily before and Idk if on the right track or not but I love figuring out your symbolism! You really are incredible Gabbie and your voice speaks extreme volumes! Im so proud of you 💛😆😍
Introverted Shit sweetheart Billie eilish didn’t invent this type of genre. GRIMES and other artists have been doing it for ages... a sad piano instrumental with softer vocals doesn’t mean Billie eilish.
[Verse 1] I’m unwell, thanks for asking Don’t mind me ‘cause I’m just passing In this life, been a while Thought that you forgot, but that’s alright How’ve you been? Glad to hear it Just one question if you can bear it Do you ever miss me too? ‘Cause I spend my days still thinking of you [Pre-Chorus] Should I take the pill to numb the pain? Change the chemicals inside my brain I worry I won’t be the same But I guess that’s the point [Chorus] Can you medicate a broken heart? Make your tragedies a work of art Medicate a broken heart Build your walls up just to rip them apart Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix? I really couldn’t say Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away? [Verse 2] Doctors smile, kill me with kindness And don’t ask about the side effects Swallow hard, kills sadness with science But the aftermath might make you sick [Pre-Chorus] Should I take the pill to numb the pain? Change the chemical inside my brain I worry I won’t be the same But I guess that’s the point [Chorus] Can you medicate a broken heart? Make your tragedies a work of art Medicate a broken heart Build your walls up just to rip them apart Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix? I really couldn’t say Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away? [Post-Chorus] Whoa, whoa Oh, medicate it away Whoa, whoa Oh, medicate it away [Bridge] They say give yourself a break They told me to medicate I don’t want to medicate [Chorus] Oh, can you medicate a broken heart? Make your tragedies a work of art Medicate a broken heart Build your walls up just to rip them apart Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix? I really couldn’t say Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away? [Post-Chorus] Whoa, whoa Oh, medicate it away Whoa, whoa (whoa) Oh, medicate it away [Outro] Oh, medicate it away Oh, medicate it away 😆 a like would be nice this took long
Also, I think your music videos give your songs even more depth, which I don’t think happens a lot on pop music, usually pop music videos detract or confuse the meaning behind a song. At the end with the addition of the other part of you took the meaning away from a kind of love song broken heart to a “personal” broken heart. With depression and anxiety it can feel like there are two versions of yourself and that makes you feel broken and honestly does break your heart. Totally gave me a different meaning to this song!
Out Loud - great Satellite - awesome Roast Yourself Harder - epic Honestly / Honestly (Encore) - amazing Monster / Monster (Reborn) - legendary Medicate - indescribable Butterflies - I'm running out words Perfect Day - nothing beats a storytime Broken Girls - except maybe this Goodbye For Now - a masterpiece Pillowcase - better than bread The songs get better as you go down, but also get better as you go up. How the hell do you do it, Gabbie? EDIT: OMFG OVER 600 LIKES????? thank you so much
My 4 yo just asked to listen to “buttercate” She wanted butterflies and medicate simultaneously. Couldn’t make this up if I tried. Your music is loved by all
Awkward Aesthetics I actually love both. I think they both (really all of her music) show how much talent she has. She can sing in many genres and she does it so so well. I think they are two very different songs as well, so I don’t think that should really be compared.
I think this style fits her voice much better and she sounds much better with a deeper, slow but intense and emotional songs(which I’m pretty sure she was going for a grunge edgy alternative style) rather than louder, extreme, screaming songs.
When I say I NEVER COMMENT on things I truly mean that. For some reason I CRIED when the other Gabbie came up. I don’t know what type of symbolism it has but for some reason I felt that shit.
gabbie in black represents the medicine she’s taking and how it makes her feel trapped ( why the bars on the windows are much darker when gabbie in black is there) and when she comes out of it and gabbie and black leaves the bars fade away
A lot of people are all saying how this video is not exciting or whatever, but the point is to listen to hear voice. Have y’all not realized that in THIS song she’s finally found her sound? Bruh I’m in love with this songgg
“Make your tragedies a work of art” that line!! For so long I have been unknowingly forcing myself though panic attacks because the art that I would produce afterwards would be some of my best and most emotional prices (I draw and write poetry). This whole song radiates this Energy that I’ve been feeling and resonates in the struggle to undo years of people telling you “you deserve to go through this, because if you don’t your pain isn’t real.”
I'M GLAD YOU LOVED MY COVER OF MEDICATE!! *HI GAB!* So my roommate who has no idea who you are from UA-cam was asking me 'What's that Medicate song I heard you listening to yesterday? Who is that by? I need to download it' . Soo. I don't think I need to say anything else :) You did THAT!
@@aimaanwaar9203 how was that hate? I don't even know her. I judge what I hear. If you like the song - great! But her voice is obviously pitch corrected, meaning she took the easy way out and I cannot judge her singing ability. Sure, take every criticism as hate, that will take you far in life.
@@BananaManPL well ur deliverance of *criticism* was very negative in a way it didnt look like u were giving ur opinion. better work on that rather than telling people on what will take them far in life. thanks.
I love her music! She's been putting out original music for a few years now and it's been really amazing to watch her blossom as an artist!! If you haven't already, go back and watch the rest of her music videos!
@@shelbyleszczynski8125 I've only begun listeming to her songs recently, and I'm shook,they're so fierce,raw,and relatable. I think many UA-camr's are judging her too harshly, (as if they're holier than thou,never made a mistake.. lift eachother up instead of creating all this unnessary drama-lama-dingdong, it's not cute nor "fierce". Have a ❤💙🎶
People projection their dislike for gabbie onto her music... she is a talented song writer and artist. People won't appreciate her music until later when the drama around her is farther removed from her image/music.
Brit Ann project and no I don’t have an opinion of her outside of her music, and that opinion is it’s the most cliche, over produced, insulting rubbish but she shouldn’t be ashamed for shooting, most people don’t, or can’t without millions in subsidies from her young, impressionable fans. Fans that’ll more than likely agree with my tough but fair critique when they’ve been through more than just 11-19 years of their life
Anybody else just sitting here rewatching this over and over trying to find the Easter egg she was talking about on Snapchat.....and then start to think maybe there is no Easter egg and really she just wants us all to keep rewatching the video....and then watching it again in case there is an Easter egg that u just haven’t caught yet
From what I’ve seen, the second Gabbie is Gabbie from Monster, the building is from out loud, the chairs are from Honestly and I think the glitch in the chair might be Gabbie from Satellite? I’m not quite sure. I haven’t been able to pause it at the right time yet.
Emily Teuscher the Easter egg is not just the flash the fact that they are all connected see the chairs building 2nd Gabbie they are in different videos
I gotta say, this is one of your best songs, love the different vibe it gives me. Love you Gabs. Edit: I already whatched this at least 5 times and know all the words.
Asan Artist she was very good very talented indeed. It was as a person that "the trend" caused her downfall unfortunately... no one is perfect and I hope she grew strong from her lessons and is ok.
Theory: the clothes Gabbie is wearing have their own meaning. "Medicated" Gabbie wears soft, comfy, frumpy, looking clothes, symbolizing the numbness and cushioning the medicine has caused her to feel. "Monster" Gabbie wears leather and black jeans, which give off a more protected, tough, or trapped sort of feel, and the reason "monster" Gabbie disappears is because she is fading in and out of "medicated" Gabbie's memory due to the medicine they have put her on. Boom. Just a theory.
So, I didn't hear this song in a while. It's been 2 years since I got into meds, they have actually changed my life, I am better using them, but listening to this song again hit me hard, I am better now, but I will never forget how bad I was and how low I went. Thanks Gabbie for turning your tragedies into works of art, there are so many people like me that needed it.

e r r o r me too bc I have been in bad times and ppl that I am close to just talk to me like nothing is wrong,mostly bc I dont talk about my problems and in those times the ppl I am close to ask me "hey are u ok?" As if I just fell on the sidewalk
Ruby Diamond:p it’s hard for me too my parents don’t believe me they think I’m doing all for attention even when I had a visible eating disorder. I don’t know I’m gonna do
This song has the most beautiful lyric ive ever heard
"Swallow hard, kill sadness with science. But the aftermath might make you sick."
OH MY GOD!
Hedvig Haugen as soon as i started reading this it said it in the song
Hedvig Haugen she has more barz then half of the shitty rappers out here
I know! I loved that part!
clearly you haven’t heard enough good songs sis
Hedvig Haugen “might change the chemicals inside my brain. but i guess that’s the point” WHAT A QUEEN
im not even exaggerating, this is her best song yet
Nobody would think you were exaggerating :P everyone knows this
But butterflies
I know right
This is hands down Gabbie's best song.
I wish she would focus more on her music and not youtube drama.
That’s what I think
This isn't my fav, but she definitely should have focused on her music instead of... whatever this has been. I come by to listen to her songs every once in a while, but she has pissed me off so much that I can't binge play them or enjoy them in the same way I use to. It's just sad nostalgia now.
Or people creating drama for her
Agreed
She's doing just that now!
I think this type of music suits Gabbie’s voice better. I love this actually.
Selena Grande it does honestly
Spilled Tea love ur profile lol
Yes queen
yeah i agree
I love it all tbh.
Okay here’s my theory:
Each of the previous six songs are part of Gabbie’s life and are represented by the chairs. Out loud was when she lost someone important. Satellite was when she felt isolated by that loss. Honestly was when she met someone else but soon saw their dark side. Monster was her reflection of her life thus far and how she keeps losing people and she starts to blame herself. After everything that happened in monster, she goes to therapy where she has to decide if she wants to “medicate”. We see Gabbie from monster, which haunts her as she sits in what looks like a support group in therapy and reminds her of how she pushes people away. Essentially, this is the aftermath of her previous songs. Gabbie has also said she didn’t love satellite (despite it still being amazing) and that’s why there’s less representation than the other songs.
Omg woah I think you're right
Take a look at Gabbie's playing "Singin' & Dancin'" She doesnt have songs listed in release order. Clue?
Very good theory!!!
BRUH😮😱
I highly doubt she thought that out and planned that to be the meaning, but I do think this is clever
Metal folding chairs is Gabbie’s thing.
I feel like I’m reading too much into it but I think it’s a symbol of an intervention. Cause like if you go into AA or any kind of group therapy thats the chairs they have.
Haha
Yea lol
Jackie M honestly tho
Jackie M i’m the 666th like XD
This song touches my heart in a way that I can’t explain.
“Or is it a quick fix”
I love it.
Dude, Gabbie WROTE this, the lyrics are so perfect and they flow perfectly like damn, she's come a far way
Yeah dude, over it we all know she is amazing noob
life on the deep end 😕

I'm glad I came across her. Addicted
And yet she can’t write a good poetry book
When she says “I’m unwell thanks for asking” to an empty room it hits me hard because it shows that no one actually asks because mental health is still an uncomfortable topic for people to talk about so no matter how much you struggle you have to hide it which ultimately just makes everything so much worse and confusing.
I'm still scared to talk about my own. No, that's not an invitation or a cry for help, just a little fact about me.
I am Kylark
I can talk to my friends about it, but I can’t talk to my parents about it. I get that it’s scary but I think it really helps sometimes just to let it all out at once with someone who doesn’t judge you for it.

Not sure if Gabbie will ever see this, but she released this song right when I was advised to go on medication for my anxiety and depression. Every lyric in this song is something I can relate to literally and in a non literal way. I hope she knows how much she helps other people.
Same girl, " change the chemicals inside my brain , I worry I won't be the same but I guess that's point." The lyrics always seem to punch me but don't worry it does get better and taking medication is scary but it will work and you will get better.

Hey, it’s been a year. How are you doing?
Antidepressants are not the answer. They only numb you more.
@@teleportingpotatoe That’s not always true, I was diagnosed with major depression that had been going on for years, and going on Zoloft combined with therapy changed my life. Sometimes it is just the chemicals inside your brain fucking you over. Taking something for it doesn’t make you weak!
THIS IS AMAZING. sorry to say this but I have never considered Gabbie's singing career a real thing. Like I thought she was making "okay" music just for fun. But after monster and this, I am really changing my mind. Gabbie could actually be a hit singer!
Honestly and Honestly Encore made top 2 on ITunes hits... so...
Azerial 2006 Yup she is a great singer and I hope to hear from her even more in the future
Nora A agree but she’ll never catch the eye of people, unless so goes under the knife
KAHNADA K again... she became top two on iTunes when Honestly and Honestly Encore came out... I really think the boosted her subs quite a bit
Nora A I think monster is ok, but THIS, I *LOVE* this! It sounds so professional and like she’s actually good at singing (I’m sure her voice has been tuned at points, that’s normal, but it doesn’t sound... obvious or bad in ANY way! Love it :))))
I feel this song isn't about someone else, its about her missing herself. Missing herself without medication, how she felt emotions. With many medicines all emotions are effected and just seem so much more dull. The more vibrant intense version of her is the part of her wanting to come back, its the true her. While the the other is her medical haze, just watch the difference is singing. Hazy Gabbie is very foggy and soft while the intense her is strong and full of emotion.
agreed
All the other chairs is her emotions, and there is just Hazy Gabbie, sitting there emotionless
Yes, I truly feel like this is what she’s trying to express, this doesn’t feel like a “heartbreak but let’s make it a bop” kinda song, it actually feels like she’s lost. It’s such an expressive, powerful song and it blows me away
Damn mind blown
OMG I REALIZED THE VISUAL OF THE MUSIC VID IS SHE’S IN A SUPPORT GROUP EXPRESSING HER FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS BUT THERES NOBODY THERE TO TRULY SUPPORT HER OTHER THAN HERSELF AND THATS WHY THE CHAIRS ARE EMPTY, AND GABBIE STARTS TALKING TO HERSELF, (this could be a hint toward 2 way mirror) !! ❤️
Oh.. that's actually sad😭
Wow how the heck you fund that out like damn I never realized that
In the ending of butterflies after the music video there’s a 2 second scene of her in black in a metal chair in a empty room so I TOTALLY THINK SO
It's a double entendre - there's a song on her album called "Perfect Day (A True Story)" where she apparently got out of the shower at her S.O.'s place and "
Cameron Davis did you just notice this
Ok so basically, I don't really like Gabbie all that much but let's give credit where it's due. This song is really well done.
Personally I do like Gabbie but I appreciate you recognize that her music is good
@Jeffrey Agbiwor ?
If u don’t like her, get lost
I get where you're coming from. And, this definitely my favorite song by her. Not all her music is good but it's getting better and more refined as she practices/writes more.
@@hippies.x oh stop it, she’s appreciating the music, just not the person
And that is ok

Love you so much and I love medicate x
Gabbie Hanna love your music so much❤️❤️❤️
Gabbie Hanna it’s been streaming since i’ve bought it holy shit i’m so proud of you
I like this type of singing style for gabbie it rlly suits her voice
I need to thank you for helping to normalize mental health as someone who’s “Medicate”ed for depression anxiety and ADHD i originally thought this song was going to be portraying being medicated like the media and show it as a fun thing but this is song is not only a bop but a real portrayal of how it feels to be put on pills and how it’s actually really scary and how you feel as if they’ll change you. So really thank you
RtheApocalypse I feel the pain you’re going through. I do too have ADD, anxiety, and depression. The pill bottles are overwhelming. I’m really thankful for Gabbie’s song. Stay strong my dude, remember that you’re not the only one going through things like these. ❤️
I've been dealing with an alcohol addiction since I was 16. I'm 30. I sent this song to my dad bc we have always been so close but he always acted like antidepressants were the answer and overcoming alcoholism and bipolar was so easy and recently decided to no longer be a part of my life because he simply couldn't handle my relapses. I sent him this song now that I'm finally doing well..to show him the struggle I went through because he always said medication is the answer...and how he abandoned me..the empty chairs...this video and song was perfect. Opened his eyes. We have a better relationship now. Thank you Gabbie.💕❤💕❤
Abandoning you because he didn't want to enable or deal with your toxic behavior? Everyone has issues and they need to take responsibility for them. That was YOUR addiction, no one should be forced to deal with the negativity of your choices or deal with you guilt tripping them.
@@MickeyMicMiccoonYou know it’s not that black and white right? And OP wasn’t saying that they expect everyone to be there for them now you’re just being a rude when you know nothing about their life and have little context. Please don’t assume a persons whole damn life and struggle based off of one damn comment.
This is easily Gabbie's best song, lyrically and vocally. I'm typically not a fan of her music but this one hit me different. Good work!
same
I like that she sang more in her tone instead of very high for her tone in my opinion I feel she really improved from her monster song
exACTLY
"Her" song
I agreee
ok this is much better for your voice. I can genuinely say this is your best song, by a long shot. It suits your tone perfectly, and we can really hear the passion in the lyrics and your voice. Bravo
I agree! Her other songs were good, but this song shows off her tone and skills.
Yeah this is her best art
This video is so simple yet SO POWERFUL. That feeling of watching yourself crumble and not knowing how to stop it is the emotions i took from it. Beautiful Gabbie.
GABBIE I LOVE IT! The type of style has changed through the last 2 songs, im so proud of u and you've grown. So far this song is my favorite
This song is really well done and beautiful. I wish she would keep herself out of drama and focus on music more, she does have talent.
If she did, I would still be a fan of hers. 😔
I'm covered head to toe in goosebumps. I was heavily medicated for years after my best friend committed suicide. I recently found out that due to my genetics (I did genetic testing) I cannot be medicated by pharmaceuticals for my depression or anxiety. So for years, I put this shit in my body, and it didn't even help. This song hits home so hard. Thank you Gabbie for making this song. I absolutely love it.
How did you figure out that medication couldn’t help you? I’m on medication right now and it doesn’t seem to be helping!
Can you please explain what you mean by due to genetics?
I got goosebumps too! This is beautiful!!!!!
Yeah same, I wanna know, they'll probably just say that I should give it time, but I have, please tell us!! ❤️
I am medicated too and would be a basket case without them.
so a recurring theme in all of the 2-way mirror music videos is the black chair. I am not the first person to realize this but the black chair almost always represents HIM. In Honestly, Gabbie kicked away the chair to show she was done with him. In A Perfect Day she is clinging to the chair, she doesn't want to give HIM up but she knows it's a toxic relationship, and in the end, she throws the chair, finally leaving HIM. In Medicate, she is surrounded by the chairs, a support group without support, but also surrounded by HIM. She can't escape these thoughts and turns to anti-depressants to try to help her. (I am probably looking too into this and I would like to credit everyone who thought of these things before me, though I can't name specific people)
Oh my god so smart!!!
YOUR MIND. DAMN
Maybe the yellow chair in butterflies represents the hope she had for the relationship and the black chair represents how that hope just died.
Perfect Day- She starts realizing the lying of HIM but the chair isn't completely out of the picture by the end it's still ever so slightly in the picture which represents her forgiving and going back to him after he pleads for forgiveness
Honestly- Fed up with all of his lies she kicks the chair out of her life thus representing ending the relationship which starts the chapter of her sinking into depression because she is still doubting herself and whether or not she is the problem
Monster- the chair is now gone but her mental health is now deteriorating and she is wondering and beginning to become convinced that she is the problem as to why people leave her
Medicate- The chair is everyone she has lost or just the ghost of her ex and how he still affects her and she has to deal with everything he put her through and other problems by herself so she tries to fix the problems he created with medication
LivTheTiger SMART
I love the imagery and I think you could be right, LivTheTiger. Before "Butterflies" and "Perfect Day" were released, I always thought of this as a conversation with herself. Like the medications and depression are numbing herself so much that she can't feel her true self anymore. When the second Gabbie comes into the picture (her real self), it's like she's reaching out, trying to reconnect with who she really is, not the Gabbie that is spiraling (being cheated on plus all of her other mental health struggles). Gabbie has always been open about her struggles with depression and anxiety and I think "Medicate" touches me because I also struggle with mental health issues. I would love for Gabbie to make a video explaining the imagery and meaning behind the songs and videos on her album!
"I'm worried I won't be the same.
But I guess that that's the point."
Wow...😔
That part really do hit different
My favorite line tbh. Hit hard af.
That hits hard
@@BellsYT thanks 😂
@@angeliconda123 same
I keep replaying. It seems like you’ve found your voice and I’m living for it.
Same.. and yeah it definitely sounds that she found her perfect voice. It sounds so gorgeous and effortless (not that it is), but you know what I’m saying, now that she really found her voice❣️
just a theory:
the gabbie with the leather jacket is another gabbie. That gabbie is trying to tell her that this medication cant just make your past disapear. But since the gabbie with comfy clothes is taking the medication, she wants to trust the medication to get rid of her past because she’s so heart broken.
also THERE WERE BARS ON THE WINDOWS OR WAS IT JUST ME
Yeah I think the Gabbie in the sweater is the real Gabbie behind the scenes and the other one represents the fake persona she has on this internet.
The bars represent her being trapped
sara conroy I like it on how u just TOLD the story like,YASS but two seconds later u say THERE WERE JAIL BAR WINDOW THINGS DJS,FJS 🤣🥰
Even when she forgets.. She is stuck in past.
Gabbie is stuck between iron bars because people keep reminding her of the Monster behind the bars..
But that’s just a theory, A GAME THEORY

I think monster is her representation of her trying to make him an excuse to stay with him. She is self doubting and is starting to think she is the monster from his manipulative ways.
You forgot about pillowcase which I think would come after perfect day
What happens when Gabby decides to sing within her actual range instead of trying to belt out: an amazing song.

That was rude dude
(Gabbie, please give your thoughts on this theory)
Gabbie's sweatshirt has the same stripe pattern as in the flashbacks of Out Loud, only the colors are faded and worn. You can also see that the warehouse she's sitting in is the same place as the ending of Out Loud when the two kiss and walk away. This song takes place AFTER Out Loud; that song was about losing someone, this depicts the pain you feel long after losing someone. She's sitting alone in the warehouse with the same stripes on, reliving their times together. Only he's gone, and she's hurting. It was a long time ago (hence the fade on the stripes) but pain doesn't always heal with time.
EDIT: k but why did Gabbie heart almost ever comment under mine but just upright ignore me? (Also thanks for the likes guys! 😁)
Rachel Larson you just blew my mind
Rachel Larson oh my god I love this theory
This is actually such a good theory
And she linked out loud in her comment!!!!
wOw
She actually took on the criticism and made this brilliant song! I’m so proud of her!
She deserves to be in prison for life for attempting to ruin a guys life by making up lies. Wonder how many other guys life she has ruined but didn't get caught?
The Darkness what are you talking about? Genuine question. I haven’t been on her channel for a long time.
The Darkness bitch don’t even bring up past drama. Her “lie” can’t even compete with all the shit rice gum has pulled. Lmfao you clearly still can’t see the massive L ricegum has taken after that content cop. Way to live in the past you salty 9 year old
Rochelle K rice gum
Also she didn’t even lie she said “punched” instead of “hit” (I think, something along those lines) and almost immediately corrected herself, and didn’t even press charges, which she should have lol. Rice gum is a piece of shit and we all know it!
@@tacocatt6808 ^^^^^^^^^^ literally preach
This song didnt touch me personally at first. Yes, I love the message, and yes, I can completely understand the emotions behind it, but I've almost always known I need to medicate due to.... suicidal thoughts.
But I showed this to my mom and she opened up to me about a lot of things I'd never really known. She had been on antidepressants ever since my little sister was born due to postpartum depression. A year later, my dad passed away due to cancer. Any time she went in to her doctor, he prescribed her more and more and more, and she said she never really felt like she was allowed to grieve in that time. She eventually went off them but it was a good while later. Your song touched my mom in a very deep way and made her feel a little less alone, at least for a little while, and for that I cant thank you enough gabbie.

And I know everyone calls rainy weather "bad weather" but with rubber boots and a good rainsuit I rly feel it's the most calming time to walk around! Much less people around and the sound+smell of the rain is so calming- espécially in the woods!😍

@Turquoise Cheetah it's not necessarily the lyrics that are good, you're right, it's pretty cliche, but the sound, the piano in the background, everything about this song sounds really good. She's not a very good singer but whoever worked on her vocals did a really good job. It's overall really good song.

The spinnin around both gabbie's and then the zoom represents the strong anxiety in the video

When I first heard your song, in my head I imagined you sitting in a similar place but a therapist was sitting across from you. Then once I saw no one there and transferring to Healthy Gabbie talking to Sick Gabbie, it had me thinking. You were your own therapist trying to figure out "Do I really need medicine or am I just sad?" Wondering if theres a permanent way to feel okay or if its only temporary before you spiral down again. Then turning your tragedies into a work of art is taking all of the pain you endured and turning them into masterpieces like you exactly did with this song. I've never theorized this heavily before and Idk if on the right track or not but I love figuring out your symbolism! You really are incredible Gabbie and your voice speaks extreme volumes! Im so proud of you 💛😆😍
damn this sounds spot on like Gabbie
Agreed 👏
I love the softness in her voice in this song

Also, I think your music videos give your songs even more depth, which I don’t think happens a lot on pop music, usually pop music videos detract or confuse the meaning behind a song.
At the end with the addition of the other part of you took the meaning away from a kind of love song broken heart to a “personal” broken heart. With depression and anxiety it can feel like there are two versions of yourself and that makes you feel broken and honestly does break your heart. Totally gave me a different meaning to this song!

Awkward Aesthetics I actually love both. I think they both (really all of her music) show how much talent she has. She can sing in many genres and she does it so so well. I think they are two very different songs as well, so I don’t think that should really be compared.

I think this style fits her voice much better and she sounds much better with a deeper, slow but intense and emotional songs(which I’m pretty sure she was going for a grunge edgy alternative style) rather than louder, extreme, screaming songs.

well there isn't arguing with that
No same people
No, they’re the same person except one of them is an internet persona and the other is bare raw emotion
I didn't like her songs at the beginning, but now I love them. I enjoy how you can hear the emotion in her voice and the lyrics.
When I say I NEVER COMMENT on things I truly mean that. For some reason I CRIED when the other Gabbie came up. I don’t know what type of symbolism it has but for some reason I felt that shit.
gabbie in black represents the medicine she’s taking and how it makes her feel trapped ( why the bars on the windows are much darker when gabbie in black is there) and when she comes out of it and gabbie and black leaves the bars fade away
omg gabbie liked this why am i cryin in the club rn ilysm 😭💛
A lot of people are all saying how this video is not exciting or whatever, but the point is to listen to hear voice. Have y’all not realized that in THIS song she’s finally found her sound? Bruh I’m in love with this songgg
“Make your tragedies a work of art” that line!! For so long I have been unknowingly forcing myself though panic attacks because the art that I would produce afterwards would be some of my best and most emotional prices (I draw and write poetry). This whole song radiates this Energy that I’ve been feeling and resonates in the struggle to undo years of people telling you “you deserve to go through this, because if you don’t your pain isn’t real.”
I'M GLAD YOU LOVED MY COVER OF MEDICATE!! *HI GAB!* So my roommate who has no idea who you are from UA-cam was asking me 'What's that Medicate song I heard you listening to yesterday? Who is that by? I need to download it' . Soo. I don't think I need to say anything else :) You did THAT!
You’ve done your part, good job
this is so wholesome... did an 8 year old type this out
@@roses8573 lol do 8 year olds have roommates...
oh so now kids don't have siblings? what gives, man?@@JordanJSparks
@@roses8573 a sibling is not a roommate? What are you rambling on about
The chairs are having an intervention with her after she kicked one of their family members in Honestly, lol. This is my favorite song of hers yet. ❤️
finally a youtuber who thinks they can sing and can ACTUALLY ace it.
A .J Exactly ya know
more like their producer can ace autotune lol
@@BananaManPL haters gon hate
@@aimaanwaar9203 how was that hate? I don't even know her. I judge what I hear. If you like the song - great! But her voice is obviously pitch corrected, meaning she took the easy way out and I cannot judge her singing ability.
Sure, take every criticism as hate, that will take you far in life.
@@BananaManPL well ur deliverance of *criticism* was very negative in a way it didnt look like u were giving ur opinion. better work on that rather than telling people on what will take them far in life. thanks.
Here because of the drama stayed for the art
Who else is here after butterflies 🦋
Bre Bre me
I’m here after perfect day
Bre Bre But u gotta realize if they are reading your comment they are quite obviously here after butterflies. So yeah that’s an oxymoron.
listening to all her song in a row right now
Ashleigh May Swartz Yea but they could’ve watched medicate before butterflies....And not everyone has watched butterflies yet
I would never hear this if it was not on trending. So grateful 🙏🙏
Why are you not subscribed to Gabbie's channel?
Same never even heard of this chick 🤷♀️🤦♀️🙆♀️😳🤯don't @ me ppl
@@alexandralawson1728 So, what do you think? Have you checked out any of her other content yet? :)
I love her music! She's been putting out original music for a few years now and it's been really amazing to watch her blossom as an artist!! If you haven't already, go back and watch the rest of her music videos!
@@shelbyleszczynski8125 I've only begun listeming to her songs recently, and I'm shook,they're so fierce,raw,and relatable.
I think many UA-camr's are judging her too harshly, (as if they're holier than thou,never made a mistake.. lift eachother up instead of creating all this unnessary drama-lama-dingdong, it's not cute nor "fierce".
Have a ❤💙🎶
Can't wait to see the genius interview of this
The shade
What if I'm the monster?
Ames Am oh god please no
@@Orihzaya u dont like art?
People projection their dislike for gabbie onto her music... she is a talented song writer and artist.
People won't appreciate her music until later when the drama around her is farther removed from her image/music.
Brit Ann project and no I don’t have an opinion of her outside of her music, and that opinion is it’s the most cliche, over produced, insulting rubbish but she shouldn’t be ashamed for shooting, most people don’t, or can’t without millions in subsidies from her young, impressionable fans. Fans that’ll more than likely agree with my tough but fair critique when they’ve been through more than just 11-19 years of their life
rojeezee ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm anyways Chile stream bad karma
Anybody else just sitting here rewatching this over and over trying to find the Easter egg she was talking about on Snapchat.....and then start to think maybe there is no Easter egg and really she just wants us all to keep rewatching the video....and then watching it again in case there is an Easter egg that u just haven’t caught yet
Emily Teuscher it’s at 1:40 look at the chair
From what I’ve seen, the second Gabbie is Gabbie from Monster, the building is from out loud, the chairs are from Honestly and I think the glitch in the chair might be Gabbie from Satellite? I’m not quite sure. I haven’t been able to pause it at the right time yet.
Emily Teuscher the Easter egg is not just the flash the fact that they are all connected see the chairs building 2nd Gabbie they are in different videos
She said it was at the end tho 🤔
@@emmagoldridge8484 if you change the playback speed to 0.25 it makes it easier to pause it
when you realize this is the end of perfect day
;; - And i oop...
Monster comes after this.
Wait wat
;; - or the start (because it’s all a loop)
;; - and maybe linked to out loud because he’s dead and maybe she’s trying to medicate to get out of depression from his death
Dude. It's never going to happen... But IMAGINE a Fall Out Boy cover of this.
Dude that would be AWESOME
Well they play good music so
I would die
Or panic at the disco
Or my chemical romance
My all time favorite song lyric is in this song and I made it my senior quote! "Make your tragedies a work of art"
Ok, this is really your best song yet. From out loud to this, you’ve really improved!

I gotta say, this is one of your best songs, love the different vibe it gives me. Love you Gabs.
Edit: I already whatched this at least 5 times and know all the words.
This song gives me an action movie credits vibe.
Ruvim Myasnyankin or like an edit to one
I feel like ppl started hating her as a trend when she was genuinely talented
Asan Artist she was very good very talented indeed. It was as a person that "the trend" caused her downfall unfortunately... no one is perfect and I hope she grew strong from her lessons and is ok.
She truly found her voice as an artist this is insane 💛💖💖💜
This video made me remember to take my meds, so thanks for that, mate

I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did-
Theory: the clothes Gabbie is wearing have their own meaning. "Medicated" Gabbie wears soft, comfy, frumpy, looking clothes, symbolizing the numbness and cushioning the medicine has caused her to feel. "Monster" Gabbie wears leather and black jeans, which give off a more protected, tough, or trapped sort of feel, and the reason "monster" Gabbie disappears is because she is fading in and out of "medicated" Gabbie's memory due to the medicine they have put her on. Boom. Just a theory.
A game theory...?
All jokes aside that's a really good theory, and possibly part of the story line....
@@oliviagrace7908 thank you!!
Good one 👌🏼
Girl stfu
So, I didn't hear this song in a while. It's been 2 years since I got into meds, they have actually changed my life, I am better using them, but listening to this song again hit me hard, I am better now, but I will never forget how bad I was and how low I went. Thanks Gabbie for turning your tragedies into works of art, there are so many people like me that needed it.
