COPYCAT (Official Audio)
• Melanie Martinez - Cop...
The song "Copy Cat" by Melanie Martinez is an expression of frustration towards those who imitate and copy her style, ideas, and image. The lyrics illustrate the experience of being constantly observed and analyzed by others who want to replicate her success and ride on her coattails, without putting in the real work and effort. The first verse portrays the protagonist feeling like they are being watched and copied by someone who is colder than ice and who takes their ideas and creations without giving credit or recognition. The pre-chorus highlights the pressure to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means copying others.
The chorus and post-chorus emphasize the idea that the imitation will never match the original, and those who copy will inevitably fall flat. The second verse criticizes those who claim to be feminist, yet still feed on misogyny, and the bridge tells the person they are imitating to find someone else to leech on to, as the protagonist's art is for themselves only.
The final verse features Tierra Whack, who asserts her own originality and confidence in her abilities, stating that she's a creative director who raises the bar high, and that those who imitate her will never match her level of success. Overall, the song speaks to the feeling of being used and taken advantage of by people who are only interested in riding the waves of success without being original or authentic.
