I know this song is about Elongated Muskrat, but in light of a lot of recent RUclipsr/Online Celeb events, I can’t think about how many people out there put their heroes on a pedestal, only to have that hero turn out to be a horrible person. The chorus especially just, relates to feelings I have surrounding that.

I met my best friend and partner because of an former online personality who is a monster. We are both hurting after learning this recently. And the chorus of this song is helping us to heal, “I loved you. I loved you. I loved you it’s true. I wanted to be you and do what you do. I lived here. I loved here. I thought it was true. I feel so stupid and so used.”

Im real late 👁️👁️ but the line “i hope someday selmers rides her fuckin train” is one of my fave lines in any song. Its a reference to a video game called Night in The Woods (if yall haven’t checked it out I HEAVILY recommend it its a masterpiece) Selmers was a side character that the player can interact with throughout the game.

In the beginning she has just gotten out a prison and is attending rehab due to her stealing opioids from the pharmacy she was working at. She had developed this addiction due to her abusive ex husband. To help cope with her addiction and trauma, she writes poems that she can read to the player. At one point she reads this one poem called “Theres No Reception in Possum Springs” which directly calls out the way corporations that makes up the small town the game is set it . She explains how the political, economic, and social factors in her town negatively affected her, her loved ones, and everyone else in the town causing them to stay stagnant in the town just to get exploited by these companies that practically rule peoples lives. At the end she mentions hitching a ride out of the town and burn these companies and corporations down, affectively freeing her and others from the grief and control they suffer at the hands of these companies .

@@MintyyKing1: Music can be interpreted in many different ways 2: This song is technically about _the singer's relation with and reaction to_ horrible companies and evil rich people with hindsight.
@@MintyyKingbut her point still stands. A song can be interpreted by many views. You can feel relatable to just a certain chorus and not the whole with a different view.
A lot of people are talking about the flaws in these idealized figures, but I think this song goes deeper than that. It's talking about the system of capitalism. As kids, we're naive dreamers that want to create stories, explore the stars, save the planet. But as you grow older you realize that nothing is so pure. These idealized figures are slaves to the system just like everyone else, and that's why it's so disappointing. It seemed like they were different, but deep down they're exactly the same.
I knoe right? these perfect figures to inspire us actually have to do awful things to get there and the immeasurable dissapointment and realization that its just a game. anyone can fall into it, we fall into such a grind that it doesnt MATTER what we do anymore as long as you win the game? but now the things that made you so great are gone
"When I said take me to the moon I didn't mean take me alone" is SUCH A GOOD LINE it talks about how the wealthy and famous go first also the parts that's like "and I don't wanna see the stars if there just another piece of land for us to colonize for us to turn to sand" is really good
Honestly I relate to this song a lot more than I should. There’s a lot of anger in her voice and the lyrics. Going through a breakup isn’t just sad, it makes you MAD. I feel like this song captures a lot of that.
Something I've not really seen mentioned in the comments is the reference to the video game "Night in the Woods" "...And I hope someday Selmers rides her fucking train." Referencing the character Selmers, an amateur poet who writes and reads the following poem in the second half of the game (albeit she mentions catching a bus, but I'll take what I can get): No reception here I wave my black phone In the air like a flare like a prayer but no reception I read on the Internet baby face boy billionaire Phone app sold made more money in one day than my family over 100 generations More than my whole world ever has World where house-buying jobs became rent-paying jobs became living with family jobs Boy billionaires Money is access access to politicians waiting for us to die lead in our water alcohol and painkillers Replace my job with an app replace my dreams of a house and a yard With a couch in the basement "The future is yours!" Forced 24-7 entrepreneurs. I just want a paycheck and my own life I'm on the couch in the basement they're in the house and the yard Some night I will catch a bus out to the west coast And burn their silicon city to the ground.
"Well I don't wanna eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heros first" Hits a LITTLE TOO HARD E: woah I've been mentally dead for these last 2weeks and this really exploded i-
@Kim-Tae-Hana he has stolen some ideas from another smaller company which lead them to go out of business. He wants to create a utopia on Mars for his own good. He also has some machine that can help almost everyone but hasn't done anything with it that will help others. I know there is more but this stuff but this is the only thing I really have a full understanding of.
This is such a satisfying song. At some point, everyone falls for the trap that billionaire figures are. It's really sad to watch it from the outside, as well. They're the same people that have had bad experience with religion, disrespect others for following, and then worship a scientist all the same. Hopefully more will learn to look at themselves. Anyway, it's sad to watch any person you look up to end up being something a lot different than you thought. Quick boomer moment: internet is kind of shit when it comes to learning about people. That's why I always remind myself that I will never truly know the person that I am watching on my screen, or talking to online. At least, I could save future me from a little bit of hurt
Is it just me or does her tone sound kind of regretfully affectionate? As if she still holds a bit of nostalgia towards this person, despite realizing their faults. Idk, I may be reading a bit too much into it. Edit: I didn’t expect this to get attention, shit
to me she sounds really mad in the verses but nostalgic in the chorus,,,,,,,, like she sounds so angry but on “i loved you i loved you” her voice instantly lightens
"I don't wanna eat the rich I'd have to eat my hero's first." She still holds them as heros somewhere in her heart, through nostalgia, or just something in the back of her mind defending the damned elongated muskrat.
Worshipping people like idols is a bad idea fellas. /////// Edit: My heart goes out to all of you who have had experiences with toxic idols (or just toxic people in your personal life, i have had that too). It's too bad we live in a world with boat-loads of them. Especially since I could count on two hands the number of them who are still getting away with illegal and ugly behavior. I wish people could just stand for good open their eyes and make their idols be responsible for their actions. Strength in numbers after all.
@@dark_lightning6909 yeh but it’s the concept of it. us as a human race are destroying the planet by over-colonising it and stuff, there might not even be a planet to go to once we’ve ruined this one. the line basically just shows how quickly we can destroy a whole ass planet. take the movie pocahontas as an example, colonisers destroyed their land
@@edxts4515 it's just a risk we have to take. Who knows? Maybe there's a planet where it has the resources we have on earth but it's stronger and in more quantity. I probably sound stupid but space is the last frontier and we must explore it
Apparently the original title was 'Elongated Muskrat', à la that meme from a while back about famous people's names being short for stuff, like 'Ice Cube's name is short for Iclandic Cubicle'
I think a lot abt the lyric "I bit the apple cause I trusted you." Curious exactly what its a metaphor on. My first impulse is Adam and eve, then I think about Alan Turing, the father of computers, who killed himself w/ a cyanide poisoned apple. Edit: man there are some GOOD discussions in these replies
It could be both, the whole song has the whole vibe of atheists that thought they were better than religious people only to realize that their culture is just as horrible, so having a metaphor that fits both science and Christianity,
@@chemicalfuzzy There's sort of a rumor that I dont think has ever been confirmed or denied that the apple logo was inspired by Turing, which is why I didn't mention it but ur absolutely right
This song feels specially close to those who had a crazy devotion to a STEM field as a kid...which led to a violent burnout after you found out that all your idols were disney villains and STEM is less about improving life and more about making money for the already rich...
And this is why kids you don’t idolize people who have money or power. Their are certain things you have to do to reach that success and trust me you do not want to know what it requires. Be smarter
the thing is that we only know this cuz we went through this whole finding out process, just young ppl idolizing. one cant help it. but for the future ppl, i hope dont strongly idolize people like this (not the artist) but oh well. its probably still bound to happen. we know its wrong but cant break the cycle
The messed up thing about me was I actually memorized the lyrics of this song when I was still in elementary and turns out, it was actually the story of my life.
I got chills when it said "I loved you, I loved you, I loved you its true" because my dad when I say i love you he usually says "of course you do, you only love me when I get you something." but I really did love him. :(
@@strifes8963 how though, I feel like being passive aggressive is writing a whole song that turns out to be a hit that doesn’t mention Elon musk but is a whole send for him
“i thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go” hit hard knowing if we ever get to a point where normal citizens can go to space, only the rich will be able to go
Most people obviously don't understand the meaning of this song. It isn't just a criticism to Elon, it's a criticism to a whole system and herself. She's talking about how billionaires and innovators will always choose their own self gain instead of helping people and trying to make the world a better place and how young kids can be very easily influenced and blinded by the promise of a utopian future without realizing the price it comes with
the part where she talks about loving the person and the place resonates with me. it brings back my emotionstowards my dad who has lied to me and the fact i looked up to and loved him, as well as his house. it just sadly hits home.
I think the lyrics "I hope one day selmers rides her fucking train" is cool. Selmers is a character from a videogame who writes a poem about wanting to get on a bus and burn silicon town.
That’s insane, nitw is my favorite game ever. It’s also ironic how Alex Holoka the game developer was accused of physical and emotional abuse of one of his coworkers so I guess the song is super fitting.
I think this song is honestly great for English essays. Like this is an allusion, except it’s one that students can actually get because it’s about stuff in their demographic, making the allusions hit the way they’re supposed to (as opposed to when stuffy white books allude to other stuffy white books). It has a great commentary, and the daddy issues/boyfriend issues act as a metaphor for a patriarchal system, as well as a reference to the whole “tech daddy” phenomena (Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates) while also seamlessly talking about the cycle of abuse, ultimately describing how the patriarchy abuses the people within it. There’s a lot more. Penelope Scott is the goddamn voice of our generation or something lol.
Everything about this is just,,, relatable, the anti-capitalism, the daddy issues, the rich kid guilt, the science kid anger, the Elon Musk hate, immaculate.
@@miryam815 I mean you don't really have to be rich to feel the same guilt, like I'm no where near rich but I still feel guilt over not being in poverty I feel like it's actually pretty common and just not talked about

Personally, I see this song about a child that idolised the fuck out of there parents and other "heroes", and when they grew up they realised that they were lying and they feel abused and used (as stated in the song) Obviously it means something else but this is just my personal opinion
I can't say I agree with the comments that are like "This isn't about your toxic ocs' relationships it's about Elon Musk" because like.. yeah, obviously it is, but art is subjective, and I think everything you get out of it is special in it's own way and has some truth to it. It can be about your oc, it can be about a character you like, it can be about how you feel about someone who abused you, and it, of course, can be about Elon Musk
@@zkmk8593 It was written about him, but art is about interpretation. I think if Penelope Scott has a problem with people getting their own personal meanings out of her art then she's not encouraging creativity (I mean this applying to everyone)
This is a really good point, thanks for pointing it out lol :)) While I do believe the song is about Elon Musk, it’s a public piece of music that can be interpreted as the listener wishes for it to be. If they want to use it like that, then they very much can! It may not have been the original use or intended purpose of the song, but it’s still a good and valid interpretation :D
it's insane how good she is at lyricism omfg,, the line "I bit the apple cause i trusted you" preludes to biblical reference of the fall of man and "it tastes like Thomas Malthus" at 0:38 is referring to the English economist Thomas Robert Malthus who basically said that rather than use abundant resources to feed everyone, the society uses it for population growth which invariably leads to the weaker class suffering from famines and dying wtff ;;
The line "i loved you its true , and sometimes I feel like I still fucking do." Is like the best line because it shows how you can hate someone for something they did but you can't stop loving them because the bond you once shared was special.
I like your view but I have a separate one of my own. This song comes from the standpoint of someone feeling betrayed by a system they once had admiration for. Perhaps the line "sometimes I feel like I still fucking do" could also mean that despite now hating the system, they still partake in it...even if it's against their will. In the current climate, some people have no choice but to make use of certain systems or resources when no other alternatives are available or feasible.
its kinda like the guilt of a child for hating they're guardians, knowing they sacraficed, worked hard, did everything they did for you, yet you still resent them, psychological abuse and neglect does shit and its interesting and saddening to see
*cough* I loved mandopony’s songs (the fnaf ones)and when I found out he was a fucking creep I was kinda sad like fuck man yo we’re my whole childhood,you and the fnaf games but OF COURSE no idol of mine can ever be a good person behind the scenes (it’s midnight this might make no sense soon)
Kids who were labeled gifted at a young age and turned out to just be normal 🤝 kids who were deemed useless and stupid until they got out of school to become genius --> hating the system and relating to this song
"I loved you, I loved you, it's true and sometimes I feel like I still fucking do". This line just shows how people can hate someone for what they did but still love them deep inside.

She isn't trying to hurt and offend Elon Musk, she is literally criticising a whole system. Sure, Elon Musk is basically the face of modern science but the song isn't simply about him. 90% of ppl in the comments are missing the point.

As kids, we're naive dreamers that want to create stories, explore the stars, save the planet. But as you grow older you realize that nothing is so pure. These idealized figures are slaves to the system just like everyone else, and that's why it's so disappointing. It seemed like they were different, but deep down they're exactly the same.
I knoe right? these perfect figures to inspire us actually have to do awful things to get there and the immeasurable dissapointment and realization that its just a game. anyone can fall into it, we fall into such a grind that it doesnt MATTER what we do anymore as long as you win the game? but now the things that made you so great are gone

That’s insane, nitw is my favorite game ever. It’s also ironic how Alex Holoka the game developer was accused of physical and emotional abuse of one of his coworkers so I guess the song is super fitting.
I think this song is honestly great for English essays.
Like this is an allusion, except it’s one that students can actually get because it’s about stuff in their demographic, making the allusions hit the way they’re supposed to (as opposed to when stuffy white books allude to other stuffy white books).
It has a great commentary, and the daddy issues/boyfriend issues act as a metaphor for a patriarchal system, as well as a reference to the whole “tech daddy” phenomena (Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates) while also seamlessly talking about the cycle of abuse, ultimately describing how the patriarchy abuses the people within it.

While I do believe the song is about Elon Musk, it’s a public piece of music that can be interpreted as the listener wishes for it to be. If they want to use it like that, then they very much can! It may not have been the original use or intended purpose of the song, but it’s still a good and valid interpretation :D
Yes!
Loved this song for a couple years now, and wow did it age well this past month
it's insane how good she is at lyricism omfg,, the line "I bit the apple cause i trusted you" preludes to biblical reference of the fall of man and "it tastes like Thomas Malthus" at 0:38 is referring to the English economist Thomas Robert Malthus who basically said that rather than use abundant resources to feed everyone, the society uses it for population growth which invariably leads to the weaker class suffering from famines and dying wtff ;;
And then the reference to Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” about the poor selling their kid to the rich in the next line. Absolutely 10/10
Bit the apple is a double entendre too bc apple as in biblical allusion and also as in apple the tech company
Also I'll eat my hat if "White men who kill God" isn't a reference to Nietzsche.

@@maxastro nope. Just more anti white hate shit
The line "i loved you its true , and sometimes I feel like I still fucking do." Is like the best line because it shows how you can hate someone for something they did but you can't stop loving them because the bond you once shared was special.
Ikr (me on another acc)
I like your view but I have a separate one of my own. This song comes from the standpoint of someone feeling betrayed by a system they once had admiration for. Perhaps the line "sometimes I feel like I still fucking do" could also mean that despite now hating the system, they still partake in it...even if it's against their will. In the current climate, some people have no choice but to make use of certain systems or resources when no other alternatives are available or feasible.

@@Phibaltalt I know that her problem wth him is personal but that is just the surface theme and message. When she says "we've been f-ing mean, we're elitist" it is hinting at the bigger picture, at the "we" part of everything.
@@Phibaltalt the singer actually said that the song is not about any specific person, so it’s not actually about Elon Musk, he is just a good example of what the song is about. I recommend watching her Genius interview
This sounds so weird after hearing the other version 😅
whats the other version?
andrea r the draft,, not the official release
@@peepee2629 ohhh okay
Elongated Muskrat?
ikr!! I didn't really like it at first bc I loved the guitar base... but after a couple of times listening to it I fell in love with it!!
Listening to this song 3 years later is an experience because GOD does this go so hard just my tiny little pea brain couldn't comprehend it at the time
To those who are curious:
The background is a pharmacy in FuZhou, China
The most aesthetic pharmacy I’ve ever seen 👁👄👁

Paradoxical how the fuck
@@mymusicacc5359 What do you mean?
When you were a gifted kid in elementary in middle school and now you’re a senior and failing a couple classes cause you never learned how to apply yourself so you feel isolated by this song but are hyperfixating on it nonetheless 🤪
I'm only a freshman but I feel like I could get there. I've never had to work in school and I'm scared that when I have to I'll just crash and burn🤪
im a gifted kid in middle school, and this constantly stresses me out lmao
@@ChloeRolll it'll be okay, its hasn't been to bad so dont stress yourself out okay. Adjusting can be hard but after awhile it gets better, you just have to power through it ig😔✊🏾.
hey what the fuck I’m so called out
Goddammit why you gotta call me out like this

listening to this melts me down to nostalgia. I remember listening for the first time and crying because it meant so much. I was traumatized, filled with social anxiety, and I wanted to kms. The lyrics are so beautiful even now.

Penelope Scott is a queen 😌

I know this song is about capitalism and elon musk, but I feel like anyone who's idolized a celebrity or influencer just to come to the realization they were a shitty human love this song. I think of shane dawson and brendon urie every time I hear it
Wait, what did Brendon urie do??
@@carlym5820 sexual assault allegations towards minors he refuses to address, r*pe jokes, racism, transphobia, making questionable comments about bi and lesbian women, its a lot to unpack but you can look uo his name on twitter and see all the details

hey, just for anyone wondering, i'm pretty sure for the "and i hope someday sumners rides her fucking train" part it's selmers, not sumners. it's a reference to the character selmers from the game Night In The Woods and selmers poem titled "There's No Reception In Possum Springs" where she talks about wanting to hop a bus to the west coast and burn their silicon city. i'm assuming penelope used train instead of bus because it rhymed better lol
Elon musk distrack😳😳😳
I love night in the woods game and it’s a comfort game for me, but I never knew that part of this songs was a refrence to that!
Ohh OKA6
HOW DIDN'T I NOTICE THIS WAS A NITW REFERENCE
Omg I didn’t think I could love this song any more but now I do
