Cake feels like a song about unrequited love. When it comes to everything else, their relationship is perfect, and he's perfect just as she is. The problem comes when he doesn't love her back the way she loves him. She can't stand not being around him, but he can stand not being around her. ("I feel like I'm just missing something whenever you leave") In a way, I feel like her being referred to as cake and him being referred to as meat feels like an allegory for sex. It feels like they're in a relationship where he doesn't reciprocate her romantic feelings ("while you walk away with the frosting of my heart"). So no matter how good he feels physically, he's not right for her. Because he can exist without her while she can't without him. This is her getting out of this relationship because it isn't healthy for her, and he will regret reducing her to just sex ("I'm not a piece of cake for you to just discard" and "You'll miss the slice of heaven that I gave to you last night").
You still have songs like Fire drill, the bakery, dead to me, bittersweet tragedy, notebook, glued, brain and heart, field trip, test me and numbers… I need more reactions aha!! never enough Melanie!
This is the first ever song I heard from her and ever since this song she's changed my life and I cant thank her enough for it, I feel like I can almost completely be myself now because of her songs she's one of the biggest reasons why I'm still on this planet and writing this right now, my chances of survival would probable be so much lower if I never knew any of her songs
Heyy, another great video. If you want more Melanie then you are gonna be so happy to know there's 2 EPS she has if you werent aware! Dollhouse EP: "dead to me" and "bittersweet tragedy" then there's her After-school EP which is like crybaby and k-12- combined to one
One of the ways my depression weighs down on me is making listening to music feel miserable, like if I express my suppressed and repressed feelings then I’ll just fall apart at the seams, so the narrative in my head is that I have to suffer alone without the music that has made me feel connected, validated, and heard. HOWEVER, I am so utterly grateful for having found your channel, because there’s something special about your honest, authentic, genuine love and admiration for these works of art that today’s artists are release that has rewire the connection in my brain slowly. Watching you just all out jam and appreciate these songs with no fear is setting a beautiful example for my inner child who’s so deadly afraid to express herself. Thank you endlessly for sharing your experiences with us. Thank you so much for these videos!!!
Been following you reacting to melanie for a while now, love the way you analyse her songs, plus just watched you reaction to yungblud , two of my favourite artists . They have both helped me through some hard times.
she's also talking about a love that isn't shared by two people like you love him but he doesn't love you back when she gives him the slice of heaven he takes it but doesn't care about the rest
Do you plan on reacting to the After School EP after K-12? It''s my favourite project of Mel's, and definitely her best lyrically. Specifically the track "Numbers", I think you would find really interesting and enjoy! Excited to tune in to the K-12 live reaction.
The way I sent the lyrics to this to an ex in 2018 or so when we broke up. They were a Melanie fan too and they somehow didn't realize it was song lyrics I was sending them. 😂
I hope you can react to their ep as well! Death to me, gingerbread man, notebook and all of them! They are all amazing and have an amazing theme/sound/lyrics going on! Gingerbread man is one of my favs, I'm waiting anxiously for your reaction to it🤣i hope you also love this song as much as i do♥️
@@CakieCream okay I just looked back he didn't miss it tag your it is in the same video as milk and cookies it's a two parter in one Video 💛 (it's like soap and training wheels)
Hello! I'm new to your channel and I really like your reactions and thoughts! I was wondering if you were at all interested in reacting to some Vocaloid songs? If you don't know what Vocaloid is, it's basically a voice program people can buy and use to help create songs. There's thousands of vocaloid songs by different people, but if you react to some I highly suggest these. Please note that all of these songs are originally in Japanese and the vocaloid voices themselves are usually quite high-pitched, so I'll mention some cover artists you may be interested in hearing, too. I do recommend the originals, though. The Lost One's Weeping - Neru [piano version covered by Lizz Robinett or Original covered by JubyPhonic] Unhappy Refrain - Wowaka (RIP) [covered by Will Stetson] Rolling Girl - Wowaka (RIP) [covered by Will Stetson] Unknown Mother Goose - Wowaka (RIP) [covered by Will Stetson] (This is Wowaka's last song before leaving the Vocaloid community) Ghost Rule - Deco*27 [covered by JubyPhonic] Tokyo Teddybear - Neru [covered by a chorus of 101 on SirHamnet's channel] Musunde Hiraite - Hachi [I couldn't find a cover however the live version from Hatsune Miku Expo in New York 2014 is my favorite so I highly recommend] All of these songs are absolutely amazing and I think you'd enjoy them or at the very least the messages they portray!
Not sure if you have already, but you should react to some songs by Roar. I recommend I Can’t Handle Change, Christmas Kids, Hope, Duck or Ape, and Heart for Brains.
I think he's trying to understand the crybaby story because he was listening to her song out of order at first and plus he didn't listen to deluxe track for k-12
@@Gamer-Girl2744 @akrame4615 I believe he also said that he was focused on the visuals when he watched the movie so he wants to listen to the album to be able to understand the songs on their own.
K-12 LIVESTREAM SOON!!! Are you ready???😊👍
YEEEAAAHHH!!!
AM I TOO LATE?😭😭
@@callme_jodie nope…probably this weekend😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial oh thank God I have work on the week
YESSSSS
Yes! I love how she uses all the metaphors to keep the theme going throughout the song!

He does a lot of melanie martinez reactions lol
He's done so many
@@Enzooo222 I know right?! i watched all 😍
Fr!
Remember, after school isn't about crybaby, it's about melanie
Wait, what? I didn’t know.
@@keysharoa8837Yes after school has nothing to do with crybaby’s story it's All Melanie
Yeah after school is more into her personal life
That makes sense with the context of Field Trip (“Katarina in the womb for nine months til she birthed me”)

I can't describe how much i'm vibing with you through these Melanie videos, and yes i'm gonna be on the livestream😆😆
If I remember correctly this song was about Crybaby losing her virginity to a guy she thought loved her, but was only using her for a good time.
Yeeeees, I've been waiting for Cake~
When I first listened to her cake was my fav song and I’m still a fan of her^^
Cake is another masterpiece from her😌 literally my fav from crybaby album🔥🔥
YESS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE
