    i’ve always felt that “when you go quiet, i hate myself” was a representation of the overthinking and self deprecating thoughts that come to play when you’re beside someone that doesn’t seem to give you what you need or talk to you and let you in; therefore, causing you to overthink and feel as though you’re the problem. it brings out a feeling of self blame and unworthiness, incapable of being the person someone you love could confide in since they are just beside you dealing with their issues but not letting you in and leaving you detached from the narrative in a way

    I know you skipped it, but the lyric “a dark politician will end up alone” is one of my favorites, so I wanted to say what it means to me. Someone who twists words and scenarios and does everything with the intent of getting something in return, at the end of the day, has no one. They spend time lying and bargaining and it amounts to nothing, never knowing love.

    The lyric “I’ll never be sixteen again” in “When” made me WEEP. I understand that you probably wrote that lyric when you were wishing to relive one of the best years of your life (possibly???, I could be very wrong sorry), but for me hearing that lyric now that I’m seventeen made me realise how much I missed out on when I was sixteen. I fell out with close friends, plummeted into a really bad mental state, and I just felt so lonely all the time, obviously this was all happening during the pandemic (and i got the virus in winter wuhay I guess we’re twinning, Dodie lmao). I feel so dumb writing this cause I know it could’ve been so much worse, but I just feel like I missed out on what was supposed to be one of the best years of my life. Hopefully the rest of the year is gonna be a bit more exciting than last.

Sometimes we get the rough parts first, then the time of our lives follows. No matter the age, you never lose the opportunity to have fun and enjoy life like you're sixteen. I'm wishing that you have a better seventeen.

    I interpreted "when you go quiet, I hate myself" as the end of a conversation in which I am revealing something abt myself to you, I secret I've kept. & you go quiet & I hate myself for ruining our relationship by telling the truth. I read your quiet as disappointment or horror or fear or hate abt the secret I've shared. Your opinion of me is changed forever & I hate myself for just not saying anything.
    I interpret it as this kind of anxiety-reaction to sharing your soul w/ someone & not getting an immediate reaction. My brain goes into overdrive & I have so much doubt. When really, the person I've shared with probably just needs a moment to process, to collect themselves, to think through a response. But, in that one moment of quiet, my mind becomes a storm.

    Guiltless to me is about certain family members of mine witnessing my abusive childhood and not putting a stop to it despite their situational power. It’s a way for me to push all my resentment into that song, and then allow myself to forgive.

      "I know you're using but it's alright cause your "love" feels good" for me.

Or if you interpret "them" in the lyric as your own eyes it gets interesting as well because it's saying that you don't even know yourself, you can't see what they love about you.

    I've always massively related to Guiltless, it hits so close to home. The themes of a parent lacking in maturity and responsibility, resulting in petty arguments over nothing was something I'd never heard discussed in a song before but I so deeply related to it. For me, it helped me understand the process of learning to accept my life and family for what it is and who they are, and learning to that sometimes you just have to put up with people - eventually it's not worth having the same pointless argument over and over.

    To me Hate Myself is about being very anxious and overanalyzing a relationship with someone you care about. "When you go quiet I hate myself" really hit home for me because I'm often afraid of silence during a conversation. I start to overthink it like "Did I say something wrong?", "What if we're not right for each other?" etc. even when it's just...silence. Like, it's normal and completely fine. The verse "build a problem that neither of us needs, something wrong with me" to me means that, sometimes, my anxiety blows things out of propotion and builds problems for myself that aren't even real. I know that this interpretation might not match the entire lyrics but most of it reminds me of my inner monologue when I get anxious. Listening to it soothes me because it makes me realize that these thoughts sound irrational.

    i connect so much with the succession of songs on ‘build a problem’ from track 7 (‘?’) right through to track 11 (‘four tequilas down’, ‘.’, ‘sorry’, and ‘when’) so much. it reminds me of a time a few years ago when i was so desperate for love that i ruined a few close friendships to get what was fleeting and not real and not worth the sacrifice. i never got closure from any of the people involved because of how ashamed and embarrassed i was with myself, but these songs explain the situation from the very beginning to where i am now so perfectly and concisely. from the excitement of being with someone new even when you know that what you’re doing is going to hurt a lot of people eventually (‘who gives a shit, we’re messing around, she’ll never know’), to the regret and the shame for the hurt you’ve caused (‘i’ve known, i’ve always known, in the end i’d be sorry, but that’s all i am now, that’s all i can be, is sorry’), to questioning why you continue in these thought and behavioural patterns (‘never caught up in the moment, busy begging the past to stay’).
    sorry for the long post, i just really wanted to express my gratitude in finding music that feels like a complete stranger peeked into my brain and found the words to describe a situation that I haven’t been able to express x

    This video feels so comforting! The lighting, the softness of the mic and the calmness of the notes being played. It just feels like a warm hug. I had to start self isolating the same day as dodie and ah it just feels nice to know someone is going through the exact same thing as me and lots of others xx

    I had been reading the line "when you go quiet I hate myself" to be about the burst of anxiety when you're texting someone and there's a pause in the conversation and you start to overthink and worry like "oh no I said something stupid and they're upset"

    Burned out hit me so hard when you released it on RUclips for the first time. Like that I might just leave soon felt like you were speaking my thoughts. It obviously means something different to me as someone who doesn't have a platform. But thank you for making this music. It does more than you know!

    I love learning what artists meant when they wrote their songs!! I feel like there should be room for people to explain how they meant the line AND for the audience to have their own interpretations in their head :-)

    this isn't a lyrical thing but i was listening to before the line just now, and it's interesting how it's a song about a before and after, and yet there's this constant drone in the background throughout the whole song. a constant. i just thought it was cool. like, it's the first thing you hear in the song and also the very last thing you hear. i wonder if there's any meaning behind it

    I've never related to Burned Out more than I do right now but not in the 'I have a public responsibility/platform,' it's more of an interpersonal relationship type of way and how my own mental health affects all of that. like the "I can just talk about it..." bit is SO GOOD cause it's so true, it's fucking hard to talk about it, even and sometimes especially to close friends. needless to say, it's my favorite song of yours. and Rainbow omfg!!!! I fucking love music!! especially yours because it's so,,,, RAW and charming and beautifully sad ;.;

    Hey dodie, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’ve been a fan of yours for so long and I want you to know how much the song guiltless means to me. I’ve never held a song so close and I completely understand not wanting to go into it just because I know the feelings that go into writing those types of lyrics. I cried so hard when I heard guiltless just because I understood, and It hurt that you understood too. I have always felt this deep connection to your music but guiltless really got me. I couldn’t believe the absolute strength it took to make that song, I still get strung out any time I listen to it. Just because it makes me remember I’m not alone In my pain. Thank you dodie. I understand the whole “this RUclipsr that I barely know saved me” mentality but your music genuinely got me through so much. I remember listening to your music in the hardest moments in my life and it making me feel like there was a light at the end of the darkness, and even if I haven’t necessarily reached it just yet, there’ll be something beautiful to come out of it. I don’t ever mind the things you will do in life, and I never want you to feel pressured by my respect, but since guiltless, I’ve never felt closer to someone I’ve never even spoken to. I can’t wait till I get to meet you if you come to Australia again, just so I can properly let you know how much that song meant. Thank you for that song. I’ve never felt so seen, and I just really admire you.
    I understand why you took a step back and drew a line years ago, I myself have a problem with oversharing so sorry for this long comment, but I just really wanted a chance for you to see me, even if it’s only through a screen. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your beautiful songwriting and your ability to make a song that relates to so many people.
    I know I only see a tiny portion of you from RUclips, but I genuinely love you so much, thank you for being you.
    Thank you dodie
    Elizabeth

    I’ve always viewed burned out as someone in a toxic relationship/friendship and they have someone around them who’s causing them to crack and let the smoke deep in and the smoke is equivalent to depression and anxiety and just mental ick for me

    I never really considered "before the line" to about derealization since I listened to it very often
    I thought it was more, of a suicide of a person, with the lines "I'm still clawing for a string, oh I'd do any fucking thing" and "I think that this really is it, I'll have to take what I can get."

    I just love "She". Just the softness and, eh, wonder, the intrigue and just amazement over another person, "She smelled like lemongrass and sleep", my god that hits me in the heartroots.

    oh my god for 'im walking if it doesn't sting' my brain emphasized that phrase differently to where everytime i heard it i thought of standing in lines at an amuesment park with other people and they complain about how they dont want to walk because it hurts them(they'll only walk if their feet don't hurt, otherwise to them it isn't worth it) something that i would always get annoyed at because i like walking with blisters because it makes the ride so much more worth it; so i never got that line because i felt like it said the exact opposite of what the rest of the song was saying ???? WTF ?? but nO the 'im walking' is refferring to the phrase 'im walking' as in like 'im out'. as in why would i do that if it doesn't hurt. how did i completely misunderstand the lyrics but still get this same idea of pain adding to an experience thats so funny to me. i understood the song but one line will just fly over my head; that happens to me so often

      I always interpreted it as wanting to be independent and not show pain e.g. after an injury to your ankle. "I'm proving that I'm a special girl because I'm strong enough not to show my suffering and that makes me somehow better than other people and therefore a valuable person." Kinda messed up tbh but that's why I relate 🙃
