      Yah she says a lot that can be tied to Ed, like “stuffing up you mouth with tissues” some people ( popular with models) will eat Cotten balls to make themselves feel full, it’s really dangerous and most often leaded to severe issues:( , also the “please say that you won’t continue ordering oranges off the menu” could be an intervention where they are talking to her about the Ed and trying to get her help

      I've seen the line also written as 'imperfect and human are we?' which I love because it feels like it's asking the listener if they see her as an imperfect human and as someone like them rather then just a statement. Almost challenging them. Not so much we *are* imperfect and human but do you see *me* as imperfect and human?

    I love K-12, it’s more sonically cohesive than Crybaby and I prefer that. Crybaby was such a high bar she set for herself but I think she did really well of following the story but changing the sound so it didn’t sound the same. Show & Tell and Nurse’s Office are my favourites

  • @zoethestrange13
    @zoethestrange13 2 года назад +106

    Ok here we go I’m gonna explain each track and give my opinion but the way I love your interpretations of these songs!!! And you will understand these songs better when you watch the movie
    Wheels on the buss:
    The wheels on the bus isn’t that deep and it’s kind of up for interpretation but the way I see it since I just started high school last year I is feeling very out of place and also getting bullied for acting different especially for acting kind of younger or at least how I think normal people my age (13-14) but when I went to high school for the first time even girls younger than me all had boyfriends and they were all making out in the courtyard and almost f***king everywhere it made me feel very out of place since all these girls some even younger than me where already sleeping with their boyfriends and I’m still sleeping with stuffed animals I related to crybaby a lot and when you watch the movie I’ll see her on the bus getting bullied.
    Class fight:
    You pretty much got the message of class fight two girls in a fight over a boy and crybaby really messed up the girl because she’s reflecting on how her parents messed her up.
    The principal:
    So in your little edit cut away clip you did kind of get the message it is about Trump and Just about Society in general she uses the schooling system in the film to kind of talk about society on a smaller scale like the principal is the leader of the school yet he’s a bad leader but they’re all forced to follow him and she did confirm that it was about Trump and it was very political.
    Show and tell:
    Yes this song is about the industry and being famous and how she feels like people don’t treat her like a real puppet or a doll purely just there to perform and entertain them Melanie is a very shy person in real life and doesn’t really like being famous for a lots of videos of fans interacting with her and taking photos of her without her consent and she tells them she doesn’t like it and people label her as rude for it when really she just wants to be treated like a normal human being.
    Nurses office:
    So did kind of get the message of this one about being bullied in class and faking sick to try and go home which I’m sure we’ve all done before nobody’s really sure about the real meaning but there is a theory that I like. And when you watch the film this theory will make more sense but Melanie is very spiritual person so she believes in more lives in more bodies in the afterlife and reincarnation so since crybaby doesn’t have a great home life and probably doesn’t really want to go home the theory is that she really wants to be dead and move onto the next life because she’s tired of this one... Not to spoil the film but in the film crybaby has a spirit guide who navigate her through lives and spirit guide tells her that she’s had many other lives and many other bodies before this and will continue to have many after and that it’s just temporary so in the nurses office scene in the movie that spirit guide comes indicating that cry babies almost died and that she’s almost going to go for the door to the next life but she decides to not give up and pull through and keep going no matter how exhausted and tired she has of this life.
    Drama club:
    I like your interpretation of drama club about how it’s like a person who is overly dramatic and makes everything seem worse even though it isn’t but what Melanie actually wrote the song about is how do you feel like everybody is forced into roles in life and how they have to play into those roles like when you watch the film you’re understand more but since Melanie is a woman she saying to just be a wife and a mother and that’s what she gets casted as a role in the play but she wants to be something else you know like a musician and people say she can’t because she’s a woman.
    Strawberry shortcake:
    Yes it’s about how we teach the girls but it’s about what they’re wearing and it’s about what they do that they’re the sluts and they’re the ones asking for it when really we should just be teaching the boys to treat women like actual human beings and respect them.
    Lunchbox friends:
    Yep you got the meaning a deeper friendship than just gossip and lunch.
    Orange juice:
    The orange is actually about an eating disorder like boulimia i’m not really sure what it’s called but she saying that you eat oranges and then you force yourself to throw them up turning them into orange juice and it’s about body image and stuff like that and how a lot of girls will like eat food and pretend that everything‘s fine and eat their dinner so nobody notices and nobody thinks anything of it but then throws it up later to be skinny...😬 but she saying you don’t have to be that way because you’re perfect the way you are🤗
    Teachers pet:
    Yep you got the meaning of the song student teacher relationship except as you will see in the movie it’s not about crybaby and the teacher it’s about one of crybabies friends and the teacher being in a relationship and her seeing it and commenting on it and trying to help her friend.
    Detention:
    So detention is about being overworked and tired and having a lot of pressure put on you like in school but also it is about her in the industry and the pressure on her to make more music especially because she released the album crybaby and it was a big hit and then it took her four years to make her next album K for 12 because she was working super hard on the film and they were such a high demand for music from her.
    You got the meaning of high school sweethearts💝
    And recess it is about being overworked and having to take time for your mental health even though people say if you take a break someone will take your place and that you’ve got to work hard all the time but really you should take a break for your mental health🤗
    And yeah that’s my interpretation of k- 12 my favourite album ever so if there’s any spelling mistakes hope you liked it!

    k-12 is the grade levels here in the USA. kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade (elementary school) 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade (middle school) 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade (high school) so its like shes growing up in the songs, she starts off in kindergarten and goes all the way to high school where she has a high school sweetheart (thats a song) its titled k-12 but there are 13 songs in the album and recess is the last song/13th song bc recess is like where kids get a break in between classes to just play and you know, be free. each song shes in a different grade. she goes through the stages off a child to a teenager from starting school to getting bullied (nurses office) to having body image issues as she hits puberty, eating disorders (orange juice) to getting shamed for her body at school and getting blamed for boys actions (strawberry shortcake), finding real friends (lunchbox friends) finding her voice and being her own person (drama club) to having a high school sweetheart and in the end, she gets to take a break. like she goes through the different ages from 5 to 18 (bc she starts kindergarten at age 5 and here at age 17/18 you finish high school) btw, in the USA u start school at 4 but that's pre-k (pre-kindergarten, so it doesnt really count, well it counts but like eh)

    Here I go commenting as I watch lol. “K-12” is read K through 12 meaning kindergarten through 12th grade. So with nurses office I do think it could be about leaving school because of people bullying and not wanting to be there but also could be applied to life outside of school as well. Sometimes we are in a situation that is not good and we want to get out of it. And orange juice is about eating disorders and how body image can cause people to create those disorders to have the “perfect” body. Pretty much eat oranges and nothing but spit it out so you don’t get fat

    Orange Juice is a very clever and subtle metaphor for bulimia and other eating disorders. Also as someone who has struggled with similar things I know that oranges, other citrus and some fruit are also some of the few things people with eating disorders willingly eat because of it’s “healthy and weightless appearance”. However all of those natural acids corrode your teeth and contributes to teeth loss if someone has really bad bulimia. Also if it’s the only thing in your stomach and you force your self to be sick it stings very badly coming up. Like it’s insanely painful and it’s a similar feeling to throwing up orange juice. So although it’s a subtle message people who’ve experienced or know about eating disorders might be able to see the deeper meaning as to why Melanie chose an orange. Love the vid was just listening to cosmic love and no more orange juice. ❤️

    I feel like "Class Fight" is her growing from "Pacify Her" and there is a parental influence from "Sippy Cup".
    I do agree that "Strawberry Shortcake" is like a continuation of "Mrs Potato Head". I feel like that's Part 1 and Part 2 is "Orange Juice"
    Also feel like "High School Sweethearts" is a continuation of "Mad Hatter" but in a romantic way.

    There's a lot of obvious lines that explain the meaning of the song but it's easy to miss them,especially with him (and others) commenting over the song...
    When you watch the videos the whole picture she paints with the lyrics and instrumentals just falls into place if you know what I mean?
    Just me?

    Thanks for telling me about the Premiere as well.
    I'm not sure if it was already explained or if Melanie already explained it but when I listened to Drama club I instantly thought of like social media... How everyone is dramatic and what they do, how they feel and what's happening. How the likely hood of them tweeting about something is higher than them actually doing things "off a stage." Everyone has to "showcase" everything, and Melanie just isn't for it because all the drama is always for the "stage" and nothing is ever real off of it.
    btw K-12 (K through 12) is Kindergarden through 12th grade (high school)

    I don't know if you are aware of the polemics with Melanie, but basically she was not the most loving person with fans about pictures and all this kind of stuff. There were a show where she asked the fans to not to sing over her. People got mad about it, said she didn't care about the fans. Show & Tell is basically to say she is not a product, that art is not made to sell and that she is human like everybody. If i am not mistaken, she even did a post on twitter about it, but I couldn't found to put in here. I remember that even I got a little mad about it, I didn't enjoyed how it went. But seeing now, through a more mature point of view, she was right all the time.
