Penelope Scott "Rät" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Last summer, college student and singer-songwriter Penelope Scott uploaded two snippets of her song, “Rät,” to TikTok, calling it a “breakup letter to the tech cult that is Silicon Valley.” The song was still a work in progress at the time, but it quickly took off online and became one of her biggest hits on streaming thus far. The self-produced track, which appears on her most recent album, Public Void, has racked up nearly 30 million streams on Spotify alone. On the song, Scott rejects the assumption that Big Tech has had a positive influence on our society.

This song expresses like all my thoughts I can’t even explain how much this song means to me
Also my brain very much appreciates the style of the song
@@boogaloooooo2616 ikrrr same! I was searching the meaning of these lyrics for soooo long!! ❤️❤️
same it simplifies a lot of my feelings
yes like it’s so complex and gumbled up together but it all makes sense
the way she just casually said elongated muskrat
muskrät*
Elon musk
ICON
Same😂
Y IS THERE 1000 TIMES MORE LIKES THEN COMMENTS
As toxic as the general population of TikTok is, the way so many musicians started out on it is so insane. I remember seeing this on my feed for the first time, and then seeing it on Spotify, and now here we are. What a time to be a musician.
I don’t agree, a lot of musicians who sucks start with tik tok but Penelope Scott is actually so talented
same!!
same, when everyone was using it I was like "woah wasn't that from that one girl I watched?"
@@lomeutrobo5851 || I????? Not a lot suck. Idk what's on your for you page but everyone is super talented.
Exactly, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish all kinda started getting the popularity because of Musically/tik tok
My 9 year old introduced me to this song yesterday, and it really hit home. I've worked in tech for 20 years, and have been pretty successful financially. But I look back at how optimistic I was when I started vs. how my company operates now, and... boy this song really struck a nerve.
YOUR NINE YEAR OLD????
Everyone: *tries to decipher the meaning of rat*
Penelope: lol it's named after a meme-
PLSS UR PFP I CANT
@sweeze I’d do the same tbh, if I had any ideas.
Bruh u stole my joke tf
U literally stole my joke my comment has 26k likes and it's literally the same joke I comment when the video came out. Ur so original.
I literally thought it was about a daughter and a dad making advanced technology in the future 😭
Fun fact:
”Rät” is swedish for ”straight”, as in ”a straight line”.
My name is Christoffer, and that was my TED talk.
Found that while looking up the word. Apparently it's also the side of fabric which is supposed to be seen? Thought that might have been an ironic name for the song somehow.
I liked the name of Penelope's album "Public Void." It already has meaning just as it is, but if looking into coding, "Public" is an access modifier meaning to be visible and usable by all, while "void" is a lack of parameters, meaning the function returns nothing. There could be a few interesting interpretations of it.
@@skycastrum5803 Yes, that is also correct! Didn’t even think about that. Interesting theory!
It's also German for guess (one of the conjugations) i.e.: er/sie/es rät = he/she/it guesses
It also can be pronounced rot
I’m going to remember you, Cristoffer.
i love how she takes real-world problems and touches on them in catchy songs
Named after memes no less
The fact that part of the song has a callback to Night in the Woods makes my nerdy little heart happy. That alone makes me appreciate it and like it a lot more than I already did.
Dude same! I heard her say that and had to do a double take
@sylentnote So true though!! Honestly, I forgot I commented this. Hah :'} That same opinion still stands two years later. Still so shook by it!!

"I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you and the real tragedy was half of it was true." That line hit me hard. For me it's not quite the same since I thought it was fun so I taught myself to program when I was a kid. I wasted my teenage years in this illusion of creativity until I realized that I hadn't eaten properly for the 3rd day in a row because I was just inputting semi-meaningful characters into a vim terminal for 9 hours a day. Luckily I realized just before I got out of high school so I'm studying to be a piano technician now.
whaaat? a genius interview where the artist actually explains the lyrics?? and its interesting??
Wahhh? IMPOSSIBLE

no way!! thats immpossible
Even the song itself, you can tell it has a lot of meaning in the song than other songs.

Selmers's poem:
"There's no reception in Possum Springs
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

So your telling me this song ISNT about a abusive dad who was a scientist
I say this as respectfully as possible, but thats such a shallow way of thinking about art.
@@meyu1468 i mean you can interpret it however you want lol
@@meyu1468 interpretations change based on personal experience. A good poem (or song) can be interpreted to mean or be about many different things depending on whos listening.
@@livid7447 never said it was wrong, just said it was shallow. Especially with this particular song…
@@chadlikespasta3142 ^^^
Penelope, thanks for the thought provoking song. My 11 year old daughter played the song and it gave us an opportunity to talk about it. You bring a lot of important topics, hunger, proverty, evolution to other planets, society, economics, Silicon valley. I mean wooow. What I notice in the song is an young adult coming of age realizing how f$^%^&%$up the world is. And I see it. I understand it. Big issues that are here and not being fixed. It is overwhelming for everyone. I like that my daughter has role models like you, intelligent and well educated with a beutiful mind. Keep writing!!!!!
👌😏👌
Thank YOU for being open and listening to young adults :) it means a lot!
thank you so much for being a nice mom and actually listening to the lyrics instead of getting mad about the swearing in it
please adopt me omg

Those ppl seem pretty relatable to the song😂 Ignorant asfk. I don’t like the beat or anything but the lyrics are completely understandable and I love them
bc her music is for white dream stans that think theyre autistic 💀
Well you don’t have to like anyone 🤨
@@CH.Stories well i made this comment almost a year ago so your comment isnt rlly relevant
Then why’d you reply lol @@_lukawn
she sounds just like the song , no auto tune needed.
yea
I always hate watching these because the artist usually just speaks the lines in a normal speaking voice or completely messes it up when they sing it, so it was a nice change of pace to hear an artist absolutely nail their delivery
That’s because she talk sings.
probably because in the song she's talking in a sing-song way, not the typical "singing"
She don't know how to sing😭

Are we just gonna ignore she named it after a meme, I'm over here trying decipher it lmfao.
Lmao
when she was still writing the song she was calling it elongated muskrat, then she shortened it to just muskrat and then rät
“Ä” is pronounced as an O, so it would be read as Rot. But it’s a meme. Holy fucking shit....
I thought it was a reference to lab rats, and how we are treated as such sometimes.
@@peachymunmagenta Im from Germany and here we pronounce Ä pretty similarly to how an english speaker would pronounce the letter A (we pronounce the normal A pretty differently tho)
Penelope Scott is one of the most talented artists I've ever listened to. I absolutly adore the style of music and the video game type sound effects satisfy my brain, I love it. And I haven't even mentioned the lyrics are she is just amazing.

@kowynnie guys everyone’s opinion is valid. if you don’t like the song you don’t like the song. some people just take it too far and hate and threat penelope.
@kowynnie "Revolting" is a really strong word lmao
She’s so well spoken omggg
I can’t believe she made such a good song with so many Easter eggs without research amazing
I just feel like... there's no way she didn't do prior research? Could just be trying to deflect the idea that it's Elon Musk hate? Cos it does feel like a v personal feeling of betrayal by a role model/figure you admired, tbh.
@@madisonmiller4581 I mean, she did say she grew up near Silicon Valley and went to an elitist prep school, so there's a pretty big chance that she just has this attitude towards everyone in the big tech industry, but esp Elon Musk for indoctrinating a whole generation of tech kids.

@@flowerlylilac2247 THIS, but add a bit of quackity and schlatt ✨
ok i may be crazy but for some reason, i took this song as a narrative of a test rat being mad at science after its work. it thought it was being helpful and being raised as a child to the scientists until it realized the truth. went into it completely blind and that's what i took away.
that can actually be used as a metaphor for the real meaning of a song
i really like that interpretation actually and i think art is a combination of intent and interpretation so no matter the “real” meaning behind the song i think other peoples interpretations are just as important to drcipher

Jack stauber NEEDS to do this.
Definitely!
YESSSS PLEASE-

FRRRR
YEAAAASSSSS
she really made a song about how the world is a filthy place and named it after a meme - she is the best artist this world has ever seen
edit: *ONE OF*
edit 2: it's been over a year and I dont even listen to her anymore go away
No
@@sanpha1 alright then
yuh
Good artist but u think "the best" is a little too much
Which meme is it
This song and the way Penelope explains it sums up a feeling I didn’t know how to put words to *so* fucking well. I was a science obsessed 14 year old raised to embrace a very capitalistic brand of environmentalism. I might not have believed in a God, but I saw Elon Musk as a prophet of sorts. Becoming disillusioned with that whole silicone valley tech circle has been… destabilizing.
Same here. Actually learning the details of scientific topics and studying in STEM along with Youtbers like Thunderf00t tore down the image of elon I had in my head.
Ive always loved the use of swearing in this song , the way she uses it just feels like salt being poured into the wound, like getting your teeth to try and subside the pain but it makes it only hurt more
Like clenching your teeth and accidentally biting your gums too.
"We're as flawed as any church" UNDERRATED LINE.
Ikrr
this is one of my favourite lines dude
And yet everyone acts like churches are supposed to be perfect.
Oh, you have no idea how highly rated it is at Thunderf00t or Common Sense Sceptic videos.
Love that pfp
I’m really surprised she doesn’t mention the religious implications that are in the subtext o f the song.
Same! Maybe she was trying to aide step religious controversy? Since the economic/themes of privilege was the more dominant/relevant message, anyway.
she was probably trying to avoid controversy
Wait I'm not too aware of the religious implications of the song, can someone please explain them to me?
@@you_gullible_fucc First Line “I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God” So she states that she is discoed from religion.
“Experiments and sacrilege” connects science and religion.
“We’re as flawed as any church” In our society religion gets more and more replaced by the idealization of tec gurus like Elon Musk.
“I bit the apple cause I trusted you” This not only con be connected to the apple logo. It could be a reference for de corruption of Eve, which is the religious way of saying someone chose the red pill.
These are the things that are most prominent, but there is also the use of religion connoted words like “dogma”.
I would say that another important message of the song is, that we didn’t eradicate religion, we just replaced it with an equally flawed belief system.
But I’d be happy to hear other interpretations.
@@cinderellasunderstudy2937 You made a really good explanation, thank you so much

I love how deep and meaningful it is, but on the inside it’s just a big fucking meme
You just described me •_•
I mean it’s in a such a metaphoric way that people can interpret is as parent problems exes, or anything else,
@@quirmi_6770 True true. I think about my ex when I listen to it
@@fifaawesomepants9943 I think about my mom
The deep meaning is billionaire bad
When you realise you were singing it wrong:
👁️👄👁️
"cause tesla broke the pat and all you ever broke were hearts"
"i lived here i loved here i thought it was new"
I swear if you didnt say any of those then oof-

I have no idea what shes talking about but ill act like i understand, it sounds amazing
She's talking about how she idolized Elon Musk for so long only to realize he's not that great of a peron and said some pretty dumb things. I personally think that you can be amazed by Elon's technology and stuff just don't support him as a person
@@thatroachunderurbed the thing is though, he didn’t the technology himself. he had scientists figure it out then took the credit and the profit
@@dianahenne8736 Yeah and he's just doing this for money instead of for people
So basically…the song has a meme name, and the entire point is “we live in a society.”
A _technocratic_ society that won't let us go the way we know we need to go.
I didn’t understand half the words she said she says so many big word😭😭😭✋

I heard the chorus on tik tok, I thought it was another love song that maybe I would like, but after giving it the chance that it deserves, I loved it.
Same but it felt like a different love song
"When I said, "Take me to the moon", I never meant take me alone
I thought if mankind toured the sky, it meant all of us could go
But I don't want to see the stars if they're just one more piece of land for us to colonize
For us to turn to sand"
one of my favorite lyrics ever.
literally same bestie
yo this is actually the deepest song i've ever heard
