y’all i know i’m late but i just wanted to say thank you so much for 1M views! i wasn’t expecting this to get so many views, especially with K12 out. thank you guys so much again, stream K12 and thank you for not forgetting about crybaby :) 💕
I always thought about this song as being in denial about things going to shit and trying to brighten up messed up things. Makes me think of dollhouse, where they were covering up all the messed up shit that happens in the house by trying to come accross as this perfect amazing little family. Keeping up appearances even though everything's going to hell
a song that means a lot. if he is cheating on you, he is cheating on you. if he doesn't love you anymore, he doesnt love you anymore. if kids know, they can't play pretend. if you kill someone, they remain dead
after being diagnosed with a slight eating disorder, the lines “You got weights in your pockets when you go to the doctor. Your favorite candy’s cotton that’s why all your teeth are rotten” hit different.
“kids are still depressed when you dress them up” - my favourite line. it means so much to me because on the outside i can dress and act happy and like nothing’s wrong but on the inside i’m breaking down :(
@@rorooshut up mental problems ARE a thing so stop saying"emo" remember throwing a rock in the sea is easy but do you know how deep it goes? Like heck the person who made the comment could be crying there eyes out (or that's just me:D..) you NEED to think before saying/commenting and I bet you some 5 yr old that has there moms phone 😒 learn how hate can hurt deep down!
My interpretations on this song: "Blood still stains when the sheets are washed, sex dont sleep when the lights are off" sa/rape. She tries to hide it bc shes probebly ashamed and blames herself. "Kids are still depressed when you dress them up" you can try anything to make someone feel different about things, but if theyre depressed they will be no matter what you try. "Syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup" you can make things look better by trying to make it sound nicer, but it stays the way it is. "He's still dead when youre done with the bottle" alcoholism. People keep drinking after someones death but that doesnt change the fact that theyre not there anymore. "Blood money, blood money. How did you affort this ring that i love honey? "Just another shift at the drug company" he doesnt think im that fucking dumb does he" he's a criminal, he steals money and wont admit. "You call that ass your own, we call it silicone" plastic surgery addiction, or insecurities so you change yourself. "Pill diet, pill diet. If they give you a new pill then you will buy it. If they say to kill yourself then you will try it." Being addicted/super depended on someone, they have control over you, you will do anything they say. "You got weights in your pockets, when you go to the doctors." Ed, probebly anorexia. Theyre so thin that they put weights in their pockets so they think they grained weight, wich they didnt. "Your favorite candy is cotton, thats why all your teeth are rotten." Bullimia. They throw up. Thats it :))
“Pill diet, pill diet. If they give you one more pill than you will buy It. If they say to kill yourself than you will try It. All the makeup in the world won’t make you less insecure!” A lot of people are turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms from internet, people around them or what is glamorized in society in general in hopes it will make things better. But it will just make it worse.
“He’s still dead when you’re done with the bottle” I don’t know if that was the intention, but that lyric to me means that drinking grief away doesn’t change anything . They’re still dead. That lyrics means a lot to me, because it’s exactly what my dad did (still does) when my grandfather passed away.
3 doller lifeu no lol, the cotton thing is the cotton ball diet, people struggling with anorexia, bulimia, various ed's; resort to the cotton ball diet as an escape, what it is; you dip cotton in juice and eat it, it makes you feel full without you gaining weight/calories. If you wanted to make yourself throw up after eating, that's simply called binging and purging.
We need to pay more attention to the lyrics, “All the makeup in the world won’t make you less insecure.” Because a lot of people need to hear that, including me when I first saw this. You can dress up as beautifully as you want, wear as much makeup, and if it makes you happy that’s fine, but it’s not going to “fix you.” It’s, if anything, going to make you feel worse.
my interpretation: "blood still stains when the sheets are washed, sex don't sleep when the lights are off" - referring to something traumatic that happened at night, (rape/sexual assault) and desperately trying to hide the fact that something *did* happen. "kids are still depressed when you dress them up" - referring to how no matter if you try to make someone feel better, and get them to stop thinking about something, it doesn't change the fact that they're still depressed, and your temporary hand to help them is exactly that. temporary. "you got weights in your pockets when you go to the doctors" - referring to what i think are two things: 1) a teenager with some sort of eating disorder, holding weights in their pockets in order to come off as healthy, and not concern those around them as to why they're so light/underweight. 2) another teen, who is hiding their sexuality, or that they're sexually active, so as to not face any negative reactions. (girls, boys, gays, and they's, please be safe if you *are* engaging in sexual acts, your health should always be #1)
For the people who don't understand "that's why your favorite candy is cotton"..... Women in the modeling industry will eat cotton balls with juice in them to starve their self to try and keep them skinny because it apparently helps you "feel full" but there has been models that have died from it because it's really dangerous. Please do NOT do that to your self you ARE BEAUTIFUL and don't change yourself because what others think YOU are GORGEOUS❤❤❤❤
This song hit me in a different way when I listened to it after developing an eating disorder and despression. Lol, it's so weird how something could switch in meaning after a traumatic event, kinda sad you know?
My mom thinks these songs are weird but I think that they kind of help me make better choices, this song is one of the reasons I didn't go any further into my eating disorder. I wonder how long she spends making these songs...
@@caa2087 it honestly makes me wonder if she had stuggled with an eating disorder or is just talking about them in general. I wish this fucking illness on nobody, even the people I hate.
vintagefuck I remember listening to this song a couple years ago, the lyrics didn’t hit me at hard as they do now. Now that I actually struggle with mental illnesses this song hits so hard. I honestly wouldn’t wish a mental illness on anyone
i love how everyone interprets this song differently. I personally think its message is that no matter how much denial you are in,no matter what you try and do to cover the 'issue', it will always remain. Just because you dress it up, doesnt mean it isnt there
Yess. What hits hard and proves that theory concrete for me is the line "he's still dead when your done with the bottle". Depressed people tend to drink and become alcoholic due to grief and depression.
My moms favorite song :D My mom heard this and thought it was so cool- she introduced me to Melanie last year when K12 came out and me and my mom would vibe to Wheels on the bus before school♡
Melanie is such a great lyricist. There's so much depth in every line. I like how the lyrics could make me riled up just crack trying to know their meaning 👌
Like your favourite candy's cotton that's why all your teeth are rotten Because some anorexic people (expecially teen girls) eat cotton to fill themselves up without consuming calories and some of them made themselves throw up, and the stomach acids burn and corrode teeth. I know, that shit is really deep
@@vxmpxrefvngs2517 That's totally plausible, but I imagine it as a reference to bulimia and stomach acid corroding your teeth, so people come up with excuses like eating too much sugar to divert suspicions
@@vxmpxrefvngs2517 I think it's because it is thought that candy cotton is bad for your teeth and candy cotton is actually a good option for someone with ED because it's light and therefore has few calories.
For me this song is about sugar coating things. You can wash the blood, but it’s still gonna stain. You can’t wash away hurt, it’s always gonna hurt. Sex don’t sleep when the lights are off. You can’t stop it from being that way. You can turn off the lights, and cover it up, but it’s still there. Kids are still depressed when you dress them up. You are once again covering up and sugar coating your feelings, or the truth but underneath... Syrup is still syrup in a supply cup. I’m imagining medicine syrup...you can put it in a pretty cup and say how nice it tastes but in the end, it’s still medicine syrup. Blood money, how did you afford this ring that I love honey? Once again, it’s been coated in sugar. “Just another shift at the drug company, he doesn’t think I’m that fucking dumb does he?” So there she is saying that even when you know that it’s not the truth or not real, per say, you still stay there. Your favourite candy is cotton that’s why all your teeth are rotten. They tell lies and sugar coat so much that they be rotten sis.
I think your right about most of it except the syrup part cause after she goes on to say he's still dead when Your done with the bottle of course it's a corpse that u keep in the cradle syrup is another name for some liquors so basically she fed her baby alcohol and killed him
Kids are still depressed when you dress them up Here is the voice of someone who understands that even when people look beautiful/handsome it doesn't mean they don't feel depression. Not all depressed people wear black and gray hoodies. Some girls/boys dress really nice and act super sweet and happy but on the inside they are actually hurting. Don't just assume that people who dress nice are the happiest peopl on earth, you'd be surprised how many people that dress up are depressed.
I just love this quote: "syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup" maybe it seems like it makes no sense, but i think there is a deep meaning under of these words. Sippy Cup is not my favourite song of Melanie, but this is my favourite quote.
whenever I hear this song it reminds me society is full of sick people, drugatics , alcohol, murders, rapists, etc. I also like how she implies to eating disorders as in "you have weights in your pockets when you go to the doctors". That's why I like Melanie, because she makes us realize we need to fix this shitty ass world xD
Every other song writer I usually about dissing each other or talking about how rich they are but Melanie is somthing meaning full to her songs that makes us understand that the world is not as perfect as it seems
Why does no one ever talk about the line “you’ve got weights in your pockets when you go to the doctor your favorite candy’s cotton that’s why all you’re teeth are rotten”? That’s 100% talking about an eating disorder
Fav lines: Kids are still depressed when you dress them up & All the make-up in the world won't make you less insecure. So true. Plus Syrup is a syrup in a sippy cup. I like her songs cuz you can see perspectives from your point of view and others will see theirs what they can relate to since there's a lot of messages there. And the rest, just simply enjoy the music.
Nobody talks about the lyric "he's still dead when you're done with the bottle, of course he's a corpse you keep in the cradle." Which is fucking insane. That hits so different and literally nobody cares.
Me first: meh. This song is catchy. Lyrics: He's still dead when you're done with the bottle. Of course it's a corpse that you keep in the cradle. Me after: Welp. That took a dark turn very quickly.
“Your favorite candy’s cotton that’s why all your teeth are rotten” I don’t know if those lyrics are specific to anything in particular, but to me, all I hear there is about IV drug use. If you know, you know, and if you don’t, I guess that’s a good thing. I have always admired Melanie Martinez, I’m back here after years, with this song still being my favorite by her. If you are struggling, you can always get better. Seven months recovered, and counting, coming from someone who was hopeless, depressed, starving themselves, suicidal, and strung out on drugs last December. (I had been struggling since 2016) Now everyday I wake up, I try to do better than the day before, and I help people with anything that I can. I am happy with how far I have come, and am in the process of building a life worth living.
I feel like I can relate to her songs so much since my childhood been so screwed up. Idc wut people say about her and her songs,they're meaningful and she has a great voice.
Since everyone said its about add1ction : This song finally reveals the events that follow what takes place in "Dollhouse". This song is about what actually "goes down in the kitchen" (a lyric from "Dollhouse"). It provides a deeper look into Cry Baby's family life. "Sippy Cup" is about Cry Baby's mother murdering her father and his mistress. The sippy cup itself is a metaphor for the lack of being willing to acknowledge reality and the unwillingness to confront one’s own reality, especially when it comes to relationships. The "syrup", in this case, is actually alcohol, an allusion to Cry Baby's mother's alcohol1sm. Putting an alcohol1c drink in a sippy cup or another cup doesn't mean it's no longer alc0hol. No matter how much a person may try to dress up a situation (any, not just the one shown), in the end, the problem persists. The lyrics, "Kids are still depressed when you dress them up" describes how no matter what we do on the outside, our inner feelings remain the same.
When she said that kids are still depressed when you dress them up I was playing the music on speaker and my mom decided to make a joke about it by saying that at least they don’t look depressed and I don’t know why but I just like give me really negative thoughts and light life and stuff like that and like I am going through a few hard things at home and I just kinda use Melanie and Billie for emotional support and I know this is not a big deal but when my mom said that it made it harder for me, idk if it’s just because I’m going crazy but I felt like posting this comment... I’m sorry about this if you had to read it all
Someone said people should stop re-writing the lyrics as if they did something, soo here I am..! Blood still stains when the sheets are washed Sex don't sleep when the lights are off Kids are still depressed when you dress them up And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup He's still dead when you're done with the bottle Of course it's a corpse that you keep in the cradle Kids are still depressed when you dress them up Syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup Blood money, blood money How did you afford this ring that I love, honey? Just another shift at the drug company, He doesn't think I'm that fucking dumb does he? It doesn't matter what you pull up to your home We know what goes on inside You call that ass your own, we call that silicone Silly girl with silly boys Blood still stains when the sheets are washed Sex don't sleep when the lights are off Kids are still depressed when you dress them up And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup He's still dead when you're done with the bottle Of course it's a corpse that you keep in the cradle Kids are still depressed when you dress them up Syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup Sippy cup, s-s-sippy cup, in a sippy cup, sut sippy cup In a sippy cup, in a sippy cup, in a sippy cup, in a sippy cup Pill diet, pill diet, if they give you a new pill then you will buy it If they say to kill yourself, then you will try it All the makeup in the world, won't make you less insecure You got weights in your pockets, when you go to the doctor's Your favorite candy's cotton, that's why all your teeth are rotten Silly girl with silly boys Blood still stains when the sheets are washed Sex don't sleep when the lights are off Kids are still depressed when you dress them up And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup He's still dead when you're done with the bottle Of course it's a corpse that you keep in the cradle Kids are still depressed when you dress them up Syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup Sippy cup, s-s-sippy cup, in a sippy cup, sut sippy cup In a sippy cup, in a sippy cup, in a sippy cup, in a sippy cup Blood still stains when the sheets are washed Sex don't sleep when the lights are off Kids are still depressed when you dress them up And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup y e s.
I feel like we live in this world where kids (teens) aren't allowed to think for themselves and it's like oh I'm depressed I don't wanna be here but I can't tell my parents bc I have a roof over my head and I have food so I'm fine. They brought is into the world we didn't ask to be here but they expect us to feel good enough bc we have a house and food. They say they were are age once but it's different they weren't told who to be when they were our age. As teens today we are expected to act, to look, to feel, and even to think however society chooses and I'm sick of it
“blood still stains when the sheets are washed” it makes me think of what people do to you can effect you for life, even if you are they change the emotional scar stays with you. idk if i explained this well but it just makes me think of that
