I love how the "ooh~" at the beginning sounds kinda like an inversion of the "ooh" in Suneater. It feels like a nice callback to being "just the one who swallowed the moon", in this case realizing that the brightness you had was just a reflection of others' validation ("the only light that i have's just a reflection of you"). And once that validation is stripped away or is given less often as you grow up, you shine less brightly. (RAHHHH I LOVE SONG ANALYSIS)
@@kacipowers4390 yes I've been a fan since least favourite only child all of the connections throughout her songs make it so much more cohesive for example "now I'll walk myself down the aisle, I'll be the parent and THE LEAST FAVOURITE ONLY CHILD" I can't use italics on my phone so I used caps but it's a callback
im really interested in learning the meanings of each of the lyrics 👀this just became my new fave bc it became a reciprocration of my life especially the bits abt being bright, smart, gifted and especially the bit of getting my heart broken at age fifteen on a school night coincidence it was the same day of Wednesday too 😭
Where are the cameras Leanna because I had a notebook in high school of all the colleges I wanted to go to and my majors and then on another page had all the treatment centers in a certain radius of me.
No don't stop that, the BOCES Young Scholars "gifted" program in my racially-diverse but less wealthy elementary and middle school was an amazing experience teaching me challenging things 2 grade levels above. Everyone in my little class of 7 was diverse in one way or another. Come to think of it, we were probably also all a little autistic. We did not have a "gifted" program in the wealthy school district I moved to for high school because everyone was already doing well since they had more resources. The competition at the top was much more challenging as it is, but maybe that was just high school. I still self-selected into AP classes and Science Research, which got me started doing college-level research in high school. There's no need for people to be labeled as "gifted", it should simply be an opt-in application basis, but there's no need to get rid of these wonderful programs. If you're "no longer gifted", you were probably one of the ones that shouldn't have been selected in the first place. I see the perceived problem, your school district simply selected more people overall and those on the edge of "gifted" got in, while in a poorer district it was far, far more selective (like I said, class of 7 - how many were in yours?)
i was in my gifted program when i was in elementary school and middle school to the point where i even skipped 5th grade because i was so ahead of everyone else, when i got to highschool the way they were teaching changed and since i have adhd/add it didnt work for how my brain works, just because someone is burnt out or the school system only works in one way does not mean that they shouldn’t have been in that program in the beginning, i would cry to my mom everyday because the work was too easy, just because you leave that program doesn’t mean that you should have never been in it in the first place
The gifted program in my poor Texas school was just “hey, your grades are good, let’s make you an example for everyone and force you to compete in academic competitions that you don’t understand” so some places don’t have it as good as you. This kind of thing makes your life hard, at first you are happy to be selected, but then you are constantly stressed because everything is on you to ALWAYS do that good. Be grateful your school was reasonable and don’t be a hater.
DUDE, THE CALLBACKS OF THIS???? I'M A SUCKER OF MUSICALS AND CALLBACKS ARE SO COOL WHEN WELL MADE, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF IT 🙏🙏🙏
THEY USED TO CALL ME SMART
CALL ME BRIGHT
CALL ME GIFTED
AND A PART OF MY TOOK PRIDE IN READING FASTER THAN THE OTHER KIDS DID
😭😭😭
CUS WHEN THINGS WERE STANDARDIZED
ANS I WAS TIMED
AND I WAS TESTED
THEN I COULD PROVE THAT I WAS WORTHY OF LOVE AND ATTENTION 😭
story of my life
NOW IM NO LONGER SMART
NO LONGER BRIGHT
NO LONGER GIFTED
AND I CANT READ ANYTHING IF IT TAKES ME LONGER THAN 15 MINUTES
funny that 3 years later I’m hearing the first Leanna song I ever heard for the first time again

(RAHHHH I LOVE SONG ANALYSIS)
I STILL RMEMBER LISTENING TO THE VERY FIRST RUclips SHORT YOU MADE OF THIS AND WIHSING IT WAS LOBGER 😭😭🙏

THIS IS ART. its so effing relatable...... living with adhd, not being able to meet the "beauty standard" ..... its all so hard
THE WAY I’M BOPPING TO THESE SAD LYRICS 😭
Omg the parallels between old songs make this somg so much better ❤❤❤
THE LEANNA LORE JUST GETS DEEPER 💯💯💯
@@sandy_nes31 it does I think this might have replaced ESOEMOED as my favourite leanna song
She always had the best connections. It really makes her music hit deeper and feels so much more real that these are all one person.

wishing this was released earlier so i could've used the "thinking i was broken when i was actually just 15" for my 15th birthday a while ago
How can someone basically write my lifestory in a song? 😳 Thank you for such a beautiful song. ❤️
