This guy is Mels whole fandom's best friend 😭😭😭💗💗

The field trip thing about "Katarina" is about the contrast between what her mother was going to name her when she was in the womb ( katarina = pure light) and what she ended up naming her the minute she was born (Melanie = darkness). The whole song is actually about her dualities and despite that still being able to be herself :)

"Melanie Martinez is for insecure little pickme girls!" **This therapist vibing**

19:49 Melanie said "Test me" is like a bridge to her next album (wich is portals).

the bakery is just a fun song melanie did! theres really no deeper meaning haha. she wrote it about a bakery she worked at and then got fired from 😂 i think she just wanted to have fun with the whole song and music video!

In my opinion this is Melanie's most mature body of work lyric wise. You can tell she has grown so much as a songwriter over the years. Also you were spot on about NUMBERS. She was talking about the music industry.

I really love her music, like Crybaby shows the toxicity in family, K12 shows toxicity in school, and After School shows mainly relationship issues with it starting off with toxicity in careers. Then all of them have parts with insecurities and relationships issues. And with Portals, it shows her growth, independence and confidence but still willing to be in a relationship if it’s healthy. It’s all great.

I’m so so glad you enjoy her lyricism as much as we do

41:28 it doesn't say "Cause it's necessary to touch when it's scary", it says "is it necessary? detachment is scary" (it's not the only line that's wrong, I noticed more) hope i helped!

"Glued up Sometimes it's too much I'm fucked up and clueless Stuck in the vortex stuck in the vortex Glueless, life would be boring, Empty but no hurting Is it necessary detachment is scary?" This song is about attachment to people and the world around you. Being attached brings new experiences, growth, learning, companionship, and happiness with others, but sometimes it can be overbearing or there can be people who hurt you or use you, so you want to be alone and guard yourself. Maybe you're also just an introvert. On the flip side, however, being alone and detached means you won't learn and grow from the world around you, you could become lonely and depressed, and you may even get bored of just your own company, but at least you can take a break from the world to self-reflect, guard yourself from the pain of others, and keep yourself productive instead of just socializing and playing around. So, should we be glued up or glueless?

“Is it necessary? DETACHMENT is scary” for glued ;)

i need you to be my therapist .. we could listen to melanie during the sessions

“I don’t want to think about the morbid parts of life no more” “ please don’t ever worry, I know it’s morbid but we all die one day”. Has anyone else noticed that connection. After school is literally Crybaby’s transition to the after life or rather her next life. Like test me?? Also powder and glued give the same vibes. They’re so sad and beautiful.

Every Mel fan loves this guy

The wrong lyrics put me through PAIN 😭😭😭

I heard this quote 25 years ago and it stuck with me ever since : "You know the best thing about pain? it lets you know you're not dead yet" 💪😜

The fact they got the "No use in arguing with someone who doesnt wanna prioritise birthing of creation" lyric messed up so badly it doesnt even make sense

Actually the lyrics to numbers is "pushing out the petals of the BUD of what I know"

Her best project imo! Its ashame because a lot of these lyric videos have the wrong lyrics that dont even make sense!

I cant w almost all the lyrics being wrong 😭

HIS REACTIONS TO THE BEAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY SO CONTAGIOUS 😭😭💖

Omg when it said platform instead of breath in numbers 😞😞😞

The lyrics for glued are so wrong I’m shaking in my boots

im just into the first song and i already love him he seems so nice 😭

Anyone else whos sobbing about the wrong lyrics?? THE [?] ON GLUED MADE SO MAD.

I started giggling when the bakery started playing, but I'm pretty sure the bakery is about teenage workers being used at their job "they expect me to stay when I should go." or maybe a toxic work place "one downfall she'll bring the whole team."

hes just giving us a therapy lesson while listening to melanie martinez love to this guy❤❤

The bakery is actually about doing a crap job just to make money so you can get things you need and want :)

i really hope you see this!! im a huge fan of your melanie series and a huge fan of melanie herself, and i want to help u out!! id recommend pulling the lyrics up on the wiki on the side for yourself (the melanie martinez fandom wiki is the most likely place to find the most accurate lyrics) as these lyric videos are always wrong, theres been several times where the lyrics were wrong on these and the meaning was changed and thats why some things didnt make sense you!! i want you to be able to experience melanies songs to the fullest because her lyrics touch my heart so so deeply and i know youll appreciate them. love your work!! have an amazing day🩷

The Bakery is actually about Melanie's first job at an actual bakery she wroked at to fund her music career

The ACTUAL lyrics for brain and heart: Help me when I'm at a loss for words Bring up all my memories Folder please, in the temporal lobe False lovin', when I was illogical Didn't know they held each other's hands 'cause they made one whole Brain stem, yells temperature Arise now, sweat, raindrops down my silky flesh BUTTERING up my consciousness Good, good, good now Ability to sleep sound Throughout the star times An illusion, if you just remove it When did humans start to separate Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone? Flip it around the other way If they were apart and you had no power start or no database Only a shell remains What fun is it, to be so calculated Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting Silent expressed push my head into my chest Bind them up, forever wed "Don't drift too far, " they said Help me when I'm too detached and cold Give me the vitality that I need to trust love more Blood to the water, neither can fuel us alone Fervency in my arteries, passion bloomin' through my bones Heartstrings trigger emotion streams Agape loves a journey, red rivers connect all of me But, but be it steadfast, don't you disappoint me Sometimes I think you're all I need, wise beyond belief When did humans start to separate Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone? Flip it around the other way If they were apart and you had no power start or database Only a shell remains What fun is it, to be so calculated Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting Silent expressed push my head into my chest Bind them up, forever wed "Don't drift too far, " they said

The lyrics are completely off im glad you notice 😭😭😭

Finally after school ep!!!!!!

in Glued, it's ACTUALLY 'is it necessary? Detachment is scary' And not 'is it necessary? To touch when it's scary' :]

as a melanie fan, i love this man.

Numbers is my favourite melanie martinez song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ shes a lyrical genius and her vocals are insane ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love how she included cry baby in her rap, and referenced Mel’s first album

The Bakery just represents thankless jobs with unsympathetic bosses that take advantage of you. She wants to make money so she can leave and “get out”

It baffles me how so many of the lyrics are completely wrong

I’m so hype for the rest of portals!!!

The Bakery is about Melanie working at a bakery to make money for her music. She didnt want to work there she was only there for the money so she could move on. She was fired though. Of course there is also a deeper meaning to interpret in all of Melanie's songs though. The woman in the music video is not Angelita (Yungelita/Emma Harvey) from Crybaby and K-12 it is Melanie's best friend in real life Jacqueline Molina

in numbers they got the lyrics wrong🥲 and in glued at the start it isn’t “they pester they go walk in the sky” it’s “they pester like a hawk in the sky” 🤦‍♀️

this guy makes me smile sm

Ik I’m really late but “ The bakery “ Is actually about when she worked in a bakery in highschool 😭

The lyrics in each song were wrong but some were right 😭

Angelita's actor's name is Elita Harkov and in the bakery, yes it is Elita!!

This reaction was everything I had hoped for and more, thank you so much for doing the after school EP! I’ve been hoping and waiting to see if you would 😂❤️

The Bakery is literally about a bakery, its a job she had in high school lol

Numbers is about how the music industry works and how they just look at artists just a money machine for their own gain. How they don't have the freedom to create but what works to get the company money instead. Which is why she came on saying, "I'm just a number" in pain, showing it can cost damage if you just treat them like a number. Then the bakery is actually about where she used to work in a bakery to make money for her music!

even the THERAPIST loves melanie.

Just got home from work and am making lunch wanting to watch something good on KZfaq and you PULL THROUGH WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT LETS GO!

The wrong lyrics on the brain and heart lyric video was triggering me so bad💀

these are the actual lyrics to brain and heart: Help me when I'm at a loss for words Bring up all my memories Folder please, in the temporal lobe False lovin', when I was illogical Didn't know they held each other's hands 'cause they made one whole Brain stem, yells temperature Arise now, sweat, raindrops down my silky flesh But doing up my consciousness Good, good, good now Ability to sleep sound Throughout the star times An illusion, if you just remove it When did humans start to separate Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone? Flip it around the other way If they were apart and you had no power start or no database Only a shell remains What fun is it, to be so calculated Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting Silent expressed push my head into my chest Bind them up, forever wed "Don't drift too far, " they said Help me when I'm too detached and cold Give me the vitality that I need to trust love more Blood to the water, neither can fuel us alone Fervency in my arteries, passion bloomin' through my bones Heartstrings trigger emotion streams Agape loves a journey, red rivers connect all of me But, but be it steadfast, don't you disappoint me Sometimes I think you're all I need, wise beyond belief When did humans start to separate Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone?

I'm not inspired by your foolish practice Butter your bullshit, set up your fence I'm just the chicken giving you the egg Soon you're gonna see that your breath was wasted Don't speak too soon on your doubts, you're making A big deal out of a little thing Why should I try to conform to formulated paths? When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical? Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before And all your idle teaching and your criticism lack The potential to penetrate my solid golden path To decide what my future is, I'm my own clairvoyant There's no controlling me Imagination on ascend Take me to Venus, let me explode I'm ready to pop like a volcano Jump over me like you're playing hot lava Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna Shake me like soda creme, but, of course Use all your words to distract from the source Of where all the growth on the paper happens Leave me alone in my own concoction Pricking all my fingertips to carve out many roads Pushing out the petals from the bud of what I know Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first" But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel They replaced their search for knowledge With the reach of many material gains They lack the tenderness of the sensitive Empathetic bodies crying from the pain It's too late to grow their frame Of mind it seems that it's already made No use in arguing with someone who doesn't Wanna prioritize birthing of creation Am I just a number? Am I just a number? Am I just a number? Am I just a number? Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong which I've done time and time before And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first" But not just by material I'm talking 'bout in here My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

IT FEELS LIKE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG EVEN THO U GOT IT OUT LOWKEY FAST!!!

the bakery is about melanies old job at a bakery she hated the job

Incase you didn’t know, fans have speculated that “The Bakery” is about Melanie’s fist job which was at a bakery and she was treated horribly during her time working there

Notebook: making more effort in a relationship Test me: being imposed to go further and wanting to be better Brain & heart: having difficulty to seperate your feelings from your thoughts Numbers: being overworked and mistreated Glued: glue=love I gotta go rn keep up the good work!

the fact that every song had atleast 3 mispells drove me insane 😔

the bakery is abt how managers and companies dont care how they treat you as long as you make money :)

i love glued but HOW DOES THAT HAVE SO MANY SPELLING MIDTAKES LIKE "touch its when scary" WHAT IS THAT

Test me has always reminded me of my spirituality, there is no end goal or answer the goal is to keep learning and growing and it fully depends on the fact that there is no one answer.

Actual glued lyrics: I'm glued to the thoughts in my mind (mind) They pester like a hawk in the sky I am glued to the love in you (in you) It swallows me whole, you're hard to let go Oh, that's not what I wanna do (oh, no) Perfectly attached like a noodle in the soup (huh?) You're good with the X-Y-Z (Y-Z) I'm good with the A-B-C And D-E-F-G, H-I-J-K, baby We all have our strong suits, built differently Different experience, different needs I know we can't die at the same time (oh, so sad), but please? I don't wanna think about the morbid parts of life no morе I'm tryin' just to focus on the things that hold me so damn close I'm sticky, sticky, stuck and solidly sealed up to this reality I'm seein' not what I wish to be achieving, the old idea of me is Glued up, sometimes it's too much I'm fucked up and clueless (clueless) I'm stuck in the vortex, stuck in the vortex Glue-less, life would be borin' Empty but no hurting (hurting) Is it necessary? Detachment is scary When my petty feet start to sway (sway) You better turn around the other way (walk away) When the doubt starts creepin' in (oh, no) It's hard to let go of old instinctual Patterns that I picked up from my environment since a baby Cut the negative self-talk and cut out my procrastination Being sticky stuck, glue those old habits shut Paste me to a new way of being, somethin' to breathe new life in me again Glued up, sometimes it's too much I'm fucked up and clueless (clueless) Stuck in the vortex, stuck in the vortex Glue-less, and life would be boring Empty but no hurtin' (hurtin', no hurtin') Is it necessary? Detachment is scary Glued up, sometimes it's too much I'm fucked up and clueless, oh Glue-less, oh Glue-less, life would be boring Empty, but no hurting Hurting, no Glued up, sometimes it's too much I'm fucked up and clueless Clueless (I am clueless) Glue-less, and life would be boring Empty, but no hurting No hurting (is it necessary? Detachment is scary) (I didn’t write this in copied from google bc those lyric were so damn wrong😭)

damn, those lyrics were so off lol

This might be a bit late, but the bakery is a song about a bakery melanie worked at. She had a toxic manager who made her work extra hours without extra payment and melanie ended up getting fired

can´t wait to see you reacting to PORTALS AAAAAHHHHH

Cant wait for the Portals reaction 😭

Bro is hyped over after school ep, i love it

I needed this

the lyrics are wrong for glued, thats probably why you didnt understand lol, actually its "is it necessary ? detatechment is scary"

He loves Melanie so much

i love mel! she needed this

I love this guy 😭

I love this guy 😂 he’s such a vibe

Immortal (or) I'm mortal. Hmmm. Think about it. Every time I listen to the song, I think about this. ❤

FINALLY PORTALS IS NEXT

PLEASE DO PORTALS SOON!!❤ (no rush!)

41:27 im pretty sure in that part its supposed to mean “dettachment is scary”

They got the lyrics wrong during brain & heart😭😭 It's "buttering up my conciousness" not "during up my conciousness"

U just earned a whole new subscriber in the first 5 minutes 😂❤

omg I love how you were absolutely jamming out on the first song XD

She actually worked at a bakery so the song is about working at a job where the others don't treat you well but you need to work for your future

In glued the lyrics on the video were wrong it actually says, “is it necessary detachment is scary”

i seriously love this

Its not "Is it necessary to touch when it's scary" it's "Is it necessary, detachment is scary"

I love this guy sm I have been watching him for a bit and I love him

What is funny about the bakery is that it is a very literal song she's just straight up hating on her old job at a bakery and boss

51:43 lol same thing I thought but it’s literally abt her working at a bakery in high school lol

41:22 she said “detachment is scary”

The bakery is literally about her working at a bakery in highschool for extra money 😅

This guy is the real therapist 😫❤❤New subscriber!!!!

WHY ARE ALL THE LYRICS WRONG?!☹️☹️

I LOVE AFTER SCHOOL AND MELANIE😭😭😭😭💗💗

omg pleeasseee react to fire drill when you have a chance! it’s so good and definitely one of the most relatable songs by her for me. i karaoked this for my non mel fan friend and she laughed at the song, made fun of it, and then laughed at me when i said i related to it :( also i love your videos so much, i watch them any time i’m sad and they make me feel so much better, and seeing how much you love melanie is so awesome i love it so much

OMG IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS NUMBERS IS ONE OF MY FAV SONGS

You need to be my therapist 😭

This is.why I luv.her!

I LOVE AFTER SCHOOL EP
