Lyrics:
Where do snails go during the day?
They’re probably somewhere playing video games
I’m sad they feel the need to go away
Go away
Where’s the chapel where the mantis pray?
The leaves grow green then fall away
In reddish shades that crumple under six long legs
Leading me along, the children sing a song
And I’d like to turn around
But I know I’m not that strong
I’m missing a house
That I’ve never called home
I’m missing a time that I’ve never known
I remember a tree, had a whole leaf of my own
But now we’re reaching spring
Was it just a dream? I don’t know
I don’t know
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
They warn of snakes in search of prey
The stories scare me so I stay
At the chapel where the mantis pray
And every day
They lead me along
The children hum a hymn
And I’d like to run away
But to leave would be a sin
I’m missing a house
That I’ve never called home
I’m missing a time that I’ve never known
I remember a song, I sung along
But how did it go?
Well, now I’m reaching spring
Probably just a dream
I should let go
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a tadpole at the time
So I don’t remember much
About what he had to say
Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a bunny (I was a kitten) at the time
So I don’t remember much
About what he had to say
Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

"I'm missing a house that I've never called home, I'm missing a time that I've never known" hits hard
I don't actually know if this is the real meaning behind the song, but I was sa'd in a religious setting at a very young age. This song really represents my feelings about the whole thing so well, because it happened when I was so young I don't have many memories of it, only lingering emotions. These emotions make me afraid of physical touch, even though I don't remember much of it, but I often have strong desires to be touched (hugged, cuddled, etc). It's like a part of myself is missing. I'm still around some of the same people that were there when it happened (thankfully not the assaulter), and I have such conflicting feelings about where I'm supposed to be. I struggle a lot to be social in my religious setting because I struggle to connect with the other girls there, it could be our culture differences, or maybe even my assault. But now, it's only really a "distant memory" and I don't think much of it, except for small reminders I see here and there. Thank you for making this song, and helping my strange emotions be put into words.
You're a very strong person. Just know that 😉
sending internet hugs friend 🫂
My silly little brain has insisted I listen to this song on repeat since it was released. As always, love your music
Yeah same here, annoyed my mate so much but its so catchy
Same
Your silly little brain is working as intended don’t worry xx nothing to worry about. Perfectly acceptable
This video is gorgeous, perfect combination of soft childlike vibes with sinister undertones 💛
this video is so wonderful??? i'll have to rewatch it a million times i love everything you did artistically and it perfectly gets the balance of cute chidlish coziness and uncomfortable trauma memories you got in this song 😭💗 you did amazing on every part of this !!
!!!!
Everything about this feels like a warm hug after a really long week
My interpretation is a frog growing up in a church run by mantises that use the frogs to eat other little critters. The story revolves around mantises and other animals, and the indoctrinated frogs gaslighting and raising the little frog to cooperate in their society. The frog befriends a snail, grows up being friends, and one day escapes the village they called home.
thats actaully rlly good!
I’ve had multiple dreams where I’m in old houses. They’re all very faded but I remember feeling small, and laying in a plain white children’s bedroom, and I remember old playgrounds as well. I always get feeling of deep nostalgia whenever I see old playgrounds overrun by nature or if I’m in a place with not a lot of furniture with wood floors and pale walls. I get that same feeling with this song :) no song has brought me back that far before, it’s incredible
"...I was a sapling at the time, so I don't remember much about what she had to say..."
I feel so sheepish for not having taken a chance to listen to your full songs, because I was waiting so long for the full release of Six Legs.
I just listened to this yesterday in full, and I cannot describe the feeling of how immediately kneecapped I was the moment I heard the melody.
It actually says “tadpole” instead of “sapling,” but it’s equally as cute.
@@flounderingfish2480 I put sapling on purpose cause it changes from tadpole to bunny
Sister, i am astonished in wonder, you are definitely upto something great ♦️❤️
this is the most wonderful song ive heard all year, it itches my brain and sends shivers down my spine. the music video is astounding as well you are my new favourite artist I am in love with your music
thank you so much:))
ALL HER SONGS ARE JUST AMAZING I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH AAAGGHHH ❤❤❤❤
I saw so many ads for this song on Instagram. I decided “sure I’ll listen to it.” Well, I did. At least the part that was out. It kind of reminded me of a little silly thing that happened in my past called church trauma. Now that the whole song is out it is so much like my church trauma and it actually makes me happy for some unknown reason? It helps me kind of move past it. With the music video, I saw the last few panels with the red and the giant mantis. It made me think of trauma. This song and video made me really happy and has been helping me move on.
It’s been about 2 years but it still hurts you know? Like I should’ve been able to move on. My family has been able to move past it and do things. But here I am still hurting. Isn’t that odd? I’m not sure. But this song helps. So thank you :D
It's a real shame that some churches end up being abusive. I've never grown up in an abusive church environment, but I have I countered those who did, and it's heartbreaking to hear. Churches like those that claim to be holy and godly, but end up going against the very messages and values they claim to hold "in the name of God" aren't doing the lords work. They're woefully misguided.
@@Bandikityes I’m a Christian and I feel bad for people who have religious trauma I hope people know that God doesn’t like that stuff and he loves us I like Madilyn mei and her music so I listen to her and I think this song is really good
I wanna eat this song with a seven course meal. Thank you for this masterpiece
I know its probably not the meaning of the song, but the lyrics "im missing a house that I've never called home, I'm missing a time that I've never known" reminds me of alterhumanity. Im a theriomythic, and that line is so relatable.
Lyrics I copied
[Verse 1]
Where do snails go during the day?
They're probably somewhere playing video games
I'm sad they feel the need to go away
Go away
[Verse 2]
Where's the chapel where the mantis pray?
The leaves grow green then fall away
In reddish shades that crumple under six long legs
Leading me along
The children sing a song
And I'd like to turn around
But I know I’m not that strong
[Chorus]
I'm missing a house
That I've never called home
I'm missing a time that I've nevеr known
I remember a tree, had a wholе leaf of my own
But now we're reaching spring
Was it just a dream? I don’t know
[Post-Chorus]
I don't know
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
(oh-oh-ohh)
[Verse 3]
They warn of snakes in search of prey
The stories scare me so I stay
At the chapel where the mantis pray
And every day
They lead me along
The children hum a hymn
And I'd like to run away
But to leave would be a sin
[Chorus]
I'm missing a house
That I've never called home
I'm missing a time that I've never known
I remember a song, I sung along
But how did it go?
Well, now I'm reaching spring
Probably just a dream
I should let go
[Bridge]
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a tadpole at the time
So I don't remember much
About what he had to say
Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a bunny (I was a kitten) at the time
So I don't remember much
About what he had to say
Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
[Outro]
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
This is the single most underrated artist ive heard ever, i love her music
When i first heard this song was when you posted it on tiktok '' Sing along to this lyrics i made'' or something like that, like it was very new, and i listend to the chorus on repeat the whole time till it was finally officially out, this song warms my soul, and even though i am an athiest and this song sings alot about the church and things like that, its the under lines that hit me hard.
When i tell you, that when i heard the lines ''I remember a house , that i never called home , i remember a time that i~ never known, i remember a tree, i had a whole leaf of my own~ '' i ligit started crying because i resonate so much, Your amazing, i love this song and its currently on all my playlists
Sorry for this long Paragraph omg
I love this song 2 much and i have that same praying mantis plushy xD
My childhood wasn't great but this song reminds me of all the good moments I miss
Vibes? Immaculate
Ears? Blessed
Hotel? Trivago
Deeply in love, not only with the song and the lyrics; this music video give me a reason for living, truly amazing and deeply lovely.❤
This song is sooooOoo good!!!! I really love the story the songs telling and in general the songs so comforting! I cant wait for this to blow up ^^
Can i ask what it's exactly about? I have been trying to crack it for a while but i just dont know. I thought it was about a cult but it doesnt really explain a lot of the lyrics.
@@orionthedrummer7160 well- im pretty sure they ment for the song to be about a frog and a snail escaping a critter cult as said on there insta. But to me its kinda comferting becuse it reminds me of memories that are there but still out of reach
@@toastersprout9788 ah! Thank you so much!
@@orionthedrummer7160 Np!
@@orionthedrummer7160
I think it talks about the mentality of a lot of churches. It talks about a little tadpole, which means it’s a story when a person is young. Then it talks about not being strong enough to turn around when singing hymns, which makes me assume it means people were forcing this tadpole to conform to this religion and since it’s talking about a church I assume Christianity but it could be anything. Then it talks about how leaving would be a sin also relating to Christianity and how people in church make you feel like evil for wanting to leave even though it’s not good for you, hence the beetles and babies crying in the end
Then I think what’s it’s trying to say when their missing a house it means that they want to find something else than religion/community to belong that’s better. Also when it says they don’t remember anymore I assume their saying that their trying to forget and they don’t want to remember the religion/church/community they survived through
amazing and gives me goosebumps every time! new favorite definitely. and madi killed it again with making us feel nostalgia
im so glad i found this artist. really comforting but also makes you think what the true meaning is at the same time. i absolutely love this song and can’t wait for the one about the cats to be released :)
