man when I first uploaded this i didn’t fix the lyrics on purpose ‘cause i didn’t expect anyone to watch this-now it has over a million views and a bunch of ppl are roasting me-

The way she sings the last chorus is insane, there’s so much terror in her voice, it gives me chills.

This song has a really deep meaning, and I'm all here for it. Her vocals, the music, literally just everything is amazing- I'm so happy with how much progress she has now, like imagine if you were one of the judges who rejected her on the voice-

2:25 This part hit me harder than a bullet. And I know some people say that as a joke, but it literally did. I could imagine a kidnapping happening right before my eyes and she literally sounds like she's trapped somewhere. I can hear it in her voice. The shakiness is unreal and I love how it adds a bit more horror to the aspect. 10/10! One of my favorite songs by far!

The emotion in her voice at 2:25 and onwards gives me chills every time I hear it

She’s such a good singer. All her songs have extremely deep meanings and it’s amazing how she can emphasise all of these things to make it an emotional but jaw dropping song at the same time.

2:26 ok but you can hear the terror in her voice

Unpopular opinion: this is the best song in the album, it has such a deep message and is unsettling in a good way if that makes sense

she has one of the most beautiful voices period.

Melanie is the best singer I know. I especially like the part when she said “eenie meanie miny mo.” It reminds me of my childhood. ❤️❤️

This song can be interpreted in so many ways... I know the meaning behind this song is r*pe and kidnapping but I also associate this song with my depression and my anxiety and how no matter how far you run you'll never get away from it Edit: I dont think I've ever gotten so many likes on a comment ever! Thx so much!!

When I was in highschool, I was bullied physically and mentally by teachers and classmates. This song reminds me of one event I will never forget. They begged me to come to the party and then they weren't there. I was running throughout the party cuz the guy was following me keep saying I love you,I want you,etc., And nobody helped me. I had to hide and run. Nobody helped me,but they helped him to find my hiding spot. This song describes how I felt that time.

I have kept this secret for years, convincing myself that it wasn't a big deal and I wasn't hurt by it. The thought of accepting that my best friend sent me to the abyss seems insane. Even typing that doesn't feel real to me. I started telling this story to those closest to me as somewhat of a joke, "haha can you believe this crazy night!?" But I began to get responses I wasn't expecting. Concerned ones. It's hard to say someone you loved sent you into the abyss. Someone you STILL love. The thought of writing this and having the world see it terrifies me. Especially because of who this person is. This was my best friend. She took me in, which I was so grateful for. I felt like I owed her my life. And my life began to revolve around hers. I had my own problems, but if I could focus on her life, I could put off dealing with my own inner turmoil for just a bit longer. Some of her fans became my fans, but their loyalty never strayed from her. They are dedicated. She's perfect. To the public, she can do no wrong. She's there for her fans. She gets it, she's different. When faced with a friend who really needed help though, I can honestly say she let me down completely. During the most difficult time in my life, my rock bottom. Her power and control over me grew and I grew. And I was silenced. While being open about realizing how much help I needed, I was made to feel guilty. I had to apologize for having an extreme panic attack, where I thought I was going to die. Because it ruined her night. Endless incidents like this. I had become a skill issue lol

I'm glad she's spreading awareness for serious topics like this. I find comfort in her music

The fact she make music for all these terrible things is amazing

As a 12 year old who’s been assulted, this song hits hard. As rough or light a story is, that shits traumatizing. No matter what happens

This song makes me bust down in tears every time. let me explain. when me and three of my friend lived in a small neighborhood with just us (i still live next to them) there was always this creepy house that me and my friends would go up to and make dumb theories that he kidnapped children. one of my friends had another friend that lived in that creepy house with her dad (the creepy guy). she went missing awhile go but we didn’t ask him or anything. he never came out of his home, never mowed the lawn, or moved his car. it was a dump. i didn’t know what he looked like at all so i was a little scared of him, especially because we called him a kidnapper. one day me and one of my friends were sitting outside, laying in the grass on her front lawn. we were having fun until we heard someone screaming from that house. we both agreed i should go back to my house so there i went. my dad and mom heard it too apparently and thought it was just us screaming, but of course it wasn’t. my parents went to go knock on his door and no answer. i decide to go back up to my friends house because i thought it was fine. my other friend joined us too and we didn’t tell her about the guy because we didn’t want to freak her out. we go walking up the road as we pass his house. it was pitch black out but we were used to it because we always stayed out late. the street lights were on though. one of my friends realize he walked out of his house and was staring at us. we all ran but i was wearing flip flops. he was running after me and my friend were screaming to catch up and i was crying. i quickly tried to take my flip flops off but of course it was way too late. he dragged me inside his home and he raped me for 2 years. reminder, i was 10 at the time and was 12 when he was finally found. instead of taking me to his home, he went to his friend house and they would all rape me together. it’s the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me in my life. the cops finally found me when i hid in a closet and called the cops. i needed an abortion because he got me pregnant i had to go to jail longer than all the men that did those awful things to me. it wasn’t my fault i got pregnant but it was the law. my parents and everyone were so terrified and scared for me. 4 years later i still get nauseous at the thought. ‘running through the parking lot’ always reminds me of that and makes me cry, please be careful kids. (No hate to melanie!)

As someone that almost got kidnapped along with my friend once in 4th grade, this song is actually relatable. Let me tell you a little story. So, my friend and I were walking to the bus station with my mom as usual until my mom noticed that there was a van parked near, she found it really suspicious, so one day she wanted to make an experiment to see why they were there and we agreed. So, like any day, my friend, mom and me walked together to the station, when we were close, my mom picked up a pole she found near the bush she was gonna hide in and told us to keep walking forward and so we did. When we got close to the van, it suddenly unlocked and a man and a woman jumped out of it, they started running after us, we started running back to where my mom was hiding and my mom started to threaten them with the pole, asked them what they thought they were doing and if they return one more time, she won't hesitate to call the police, they told her that they're very sorry and that we'll never see them again. We fortunately never did, God, me and my friend almost shat our pants, we were so scared. I now walk alone and I'm always so scared that someone will try to kidnap me again.

My friends say I'm wierd for liking Melanie Martinez. But in my opinion her songs are great ♥️

Something about Melanie is both beautiful and eerie, I love her style as a unique "pop" artist

I love this song I know has a dark meaning but thats the thing that i like, because it represents that in a perfect way, with those lyrics and music. This is why i love music, some of them tries to give you a message, some are a way to express a feeling, some are about something in general, its like, music and art are one of the best way to express anything.

The part where she says "eenie meenie miny mo" and the song being called tag you're it as if it is a "game" honestly gives me the chills since this is how most predators deal with Sexual assault as if it is a "game" it scares me how accurate some of her songs are

Lyrics: Looking at me through your window Boy, you had your eye out for a little "I'll cut you up and make you dinner You've reached the end, you are the winner" Rolling down your tinted window Driving next to me real slow, he said "Let me take you for a joyride I've got some candy for you inside" Running through the parking lot He chased me and he wouldn't stop Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Grabbed my hand, pushed me down Took the words right out my mouth Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Can anybody hear me I'm hidden under ground Can anybody hear me am I talking to myself Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it" He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it" Little bit of poison in me I can taste your skin in my teeth "I love it when I hear you breathing I hope to god you're never leaving" Running through the parking lot He chased me and he wouldn't stop Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Grabbed my hand, pushed me down Took the words right out my mouthf Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Can anybody hear me I'm hidden under ground Can anybody hear me am I talking to myself Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it" He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it" Eenie meenie miny mo Get your lady by her toes If she screams, don't let her go Eenie meenie miny mo Your mother said to pick the very best girl And I am Running through the parking lot He chased me and he wouldn't stop Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Grabbed my hand, pushed me down Took the words right out my mouth Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it Running through the parking lot He chased me and he wouldn't stop Tag, you're it, tag, you're it Grabbed my hand, pushed me down Took the words right out my mouth Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it

Melanie’s voice is so sweet

me listining to this music:🤭🥰💓💞 me understanding the lyrics:🤢🤮👿💀🌚⛓️🪑

This song reminds me a lot of the horrible things I went through in my life, including depression and anxiety. Especially, the line "run through the parking lot" because I have always run from my problems and believed that I am always a target for others.

This song makes me remember many events that took place late 2020/early 2021 for me, I was doxxed, stalked, had my face leaked, had constant harassment sent my way, death threats and all sorts of degenerate stuff. I was not able to run away from my attackers because they would always find me no matter what I did, it felt like a game but it was a game that never ended. the lyrics “running through the parking lot, he chased me and he wouldn’t stop” reminds me of the several times I tried escaping it all, but no matter what i did, my attackers were chasing after me and they wouldn’t stop, and nobody would hear my cries for help because everyone thought my harassers were good people and I was the only girl in the group so they thought my cries for help were petty. The harassment went on for a whole year and it only stopped when people finally realized what they were doing to me, but it was too late. They completely got away with everything they did to me and they are still out there. I haven’t heard this song in several years but hearing it again reminds me all that has happened, I know the meaning of this song but it has a different meaning to me, and it’s my experiences of being doxxed and harassed. To anybody reading this dealing with a similar problem, get help right away, it will be scary coming out with such things to someone but trust me, it’ll be worth it in the end.

This is probably one of the only songs that actually terrifies me, I have a big fear of the idea of being chased, kidnapped or stalked, as much as I love this song it's difficult to listen to.

I love Mélanie Martinez! Also I love how you did the lyrics because it’s like you can feel the emotion❤️

2:48 her vocals are amazing like the emotions I’m feeling through this omg

This song is P E R F E C T for Sally Williams. She's from Creepypasta for those of you that don't know who she is.

Tag, You're It" is about Cry Baby getting kidnapped, utilizing the children's game "tag" as a metaphor. After Cry Baby breaks up with Johnny, she is very vulnerable and alone and gets kidnapped by a "wolf". As the song begins, it is evident that the "wolf" has been watching her for a while, and sees her as the perfect victim. The "wolf" pulls up alongside Cry Baby in his car and offers her candy. The tinted windows will hide her once she’s inside. Despite the fact that she says no, he continues to pursue her and chase her through the parking lot, meaning that she's running and he's following after her. The phrase, "Tag, you're it" is a metaphor for him catching her. He finally catches up to her, pushing her down to stop her from running and covers her mouth so she cannot scream. She still screams for help, but her situation is starting to seem hopeless. She attempts to fight back by biting him, despite being incapacitated in the lyric, "little bit of poison in me, I can taste your skin in my teeth". She is taken to his basement where he is fascinated by the proof of her presence through something as simple as her breathing. As the last part of the chorus is sung her tone shifts to a more bitter and angry tone, having given up hope of being rescued. The repetition of the phrase makes it seem as if it was replaying it in her head. 🎉THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ONLINE🎉

She has a beautiful voice

No cause I used to dance and enjoy until I realized what this song really is about-

Can't listen to this without thinking of my first boyfriend. Didn't understand what "no" meant and was abusive in every form Including physical. Also tried isolating me from my friends and family. For the longest time it worked too since it was my first relationship and I had no idea how they were supposed to go. Let him convince me I was the bad guy till one day I couldn't take it anymore. Broke things off and told him if he ever came around me again he'd better hope the cops got to him before my dad did.

Song + story + amazing edit = perfection ✨✨✨✨

When I listen to this song I think of the man as anxiety, and me as Melanie. I can also picture everything happening in my head from the lyrics. This is a great song and I love it. :) (That sounds really stupid but I am born for music so this is how I think with some songs lol)

Me : *replays the song over and over* Also me: *realizes the meaning of the song but still vibes to it*

Oh my god, this is amazing- When you start thinking about the lyrics, that's just amazing... THIS is art.

The fact almost all of those things have happened to me is disgusting. And people wonder why I’m terrified of men

Listing to this song gives me anxiety because I had to go through this when I was only 7 or 8 but it's still a good song because of the meaning.

At the end her voice- the thrills that went down my spine.♥️♥️❤️💝

I love this song!!!

This song can be interpreted in so many ways, idk why but I really love this song.

I love Melanie she is so good and this is one of my favorite songs from her

Confession here, when I was in elementary I heard this song a few times and on my 9th birthday I sang the chorus on the intercom and told people that I had made it, I didn’t know what copyright was at the time but I still felt guilty that I had lied. One of my day care teachers realized that it wasn’t mine when she looked it up, I wasn’t in trouble nor was I picked on, but I still felt terrible, now I know what the song actually means and seemed worse for me, and ever since then I didn’t want to listen to the song because of that. Now I’m here to let go of the past and enjoy the voice of the person who really made the song, Sorry Melanie… 😢

Melanie is one of the most talented singes I know 🙌

I love this song and melanie ❤️

She is an ARTIST to me

I love this song it is such a blessing for you to do this thank you

The way she sing the last chorus is insane,Melanie is one of my favorite singer and i literally started scared after listing this song is amazing 🌸❤️❤️

The vocal and background music is just so good i love her song💖i miss this song after all these years!!!!💖

2:59 gave me chills😳

I love this song so much, I can feel my inner child dance everytime I listen to this song

Her lyrics are so powerful

Most of these are obvious, but these are my theories about the lyrics. Took the words right out my mouth: Either scared her so bad she couldn't speak or he covered her mouth so she couldn't. Little bit of poison in me: He drugged her, and she still feels the effects. I can taste your skin in my teeth: She bit him when she was fighting him off and drew blood. Can anybody hear me am I hidden underground: I believe she was either in the basement of his home or this is her POV after she was killed, and is LITERALLY underground, in a shallow grave.

I love your edit ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I really loved Melanie Martinez, I been listening to her songs for like ever seems I was 8. And now I am 16 and still listening to it. I do know the deep meaning. Good I don’t really relate to it I never been kidnapped. But her songs are really amazing but also sad deep meanings.

I love the song 😍 thank you ❤️ for posting it ❤️💕💗

omg i love this and i discovered it just now

Love this song!!💕

after knowing this song since 2nd grade i found out the true meaning last year..

This song brings back so many bad memories 😪" can anybody hear me when I'm hidden underground " .

I was s*xually abused by someone in my family at 5 years old...so this song really hits home. He told me that nobody would believe me and if I told anyone we would both go to Jail and for years I actually thought what he told me would happen. I was manipulated and scared into not speaking up…if you’re reading this I want you to know that you aren’t alone. Karma will catch up with the person who took advantage of you❤️ You are so strong and you have my support, I BELIEVE YOU.🤍

I LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGG

Amazing thank you for your ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Idk when is my first time listening to this but it still my fav song

This is amazing! Thanks for posting it!

I love the music. This is my favorite music.❤

This is awsome

Love this song😍😍💖

This song is really a masterpiece

I love this soo much❤❤❤❤

2:25-2:41 is the most fire part 🔥

The song has a deep meaning as it talks about pedophiles and how they kidnap children Using sweets and other things

I love it at 0:45

I'm glad how this somehow got in my playlist.

Omg! this song broke my heart ♥️I love this☺️

OMG I LOVE THIS!!! when i hear this song i can make soo much things (like ideas) i love it!!

Love this song and the video you are so underrated :D

I love this song so much

her songs always have deep meanings, thats why i love her

Attention! If you didn’t know this, I’m pretty sure this song is about r-pe. So don’t make jokes about it please!

I feel like I'm getting kidnapped

I don’t know how but this song helps me….. my dad was a narcissistic farther and I was the scape goat of the family. It hurts me so much that he used me and emotionally abused me and groomed me. It hurts but this song is amazing and helps me. My step sister was the golden child she could do no wrong but me the scapegoat got all the back lash and got all the blame. I’m 15 now this had happened this year but I’m stronger. And my future kids won’t go through what I have been through and that’s comforting.

I'm 3 years into the future y'all- And this song still hits HARD! Melanie Martinez for freakin life!!!!

This is years ago but this song is still a masterpiece
