IM SORRY FOR THE TYPO GUYS IK IM A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING BUT ITS TOO LATE NOW IT CANNOT BE FIXED !! i just keep seeing comments mentioning it and it’s lowkey destroying me with guilt at times LMAO
@@zgw4225 *sad man who invented the electric chair because he wanted easy money noises. Fixed it (ik your comment wasn't talking about edison being good, but there are so many people that think he is and it's not even their fault, people teach about him badly, and it pisses me off)
@@ElectrostatiCrow He's always been this way, where do you think he gets the materials for "his" electric cars? The cobalt is almost exclusively sourced from slave labor in the Congo, he's fully aware of this and has done everything in his power to suppress information about it to ensure his wealth
considering elon musk’s daughter came out as trans and changed her last name because she didnt want to be associated with her dad anymore… this song fits her more than anyone else.
Apparently the original title was 'Elongated Muskrat', à la that meme from a while back about famous people's names being short for stuff, like 'Ice Cube's name is short for Iclandic Cubicle'
Im real late 👁️👁️ but the line “i hope someday selmers rides her fuckin train” is one of my fave lines in any song. Its a reference to a video game called Night in The Woods (if yall haven’t checked it out I HEAVILY recommend it its a masterpiece) Selmers was a side character that the player can interact with throughout the game. Her backstory is one of the most interesting ones in the game for me personally. In the beginning she has just gotten out a prison and is attending rehab due to her stealing opioids from the pharmacy she was working at. She had developed this addiction due to her abusive ex husband. To help cope with her addiction and trauma, she writes poems that she can read to the player. At one point she reads this one poem called “Theres No Reception in Possum Springs” which directly calls out the way corporations that makes up the small town the game is set it . She explains how the political, economic, and social factors in her town negatively affected her, her loved ones, and everyone else in the town causing them to stay stagnant in the town just to get exploited by these companies that practically rule peoples lives. At the end she mentions hitching a ride out of the town and burn these companies and corporations down, affectively freeing her and others from the grief and control they suffer at the hands of these companies . That was a brief explanation tbh but again I highly recommend playing the game or simply researching it. Anyways i just thought it was a cool reference so i thought id mention it :)
“I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true. And sometimes I feel like I still fucking do.” HELL NO, YOU CAN’T JUST RECITE MY FEELINGS BACK TO ME LIKE THAT
@@MintyyKing1: Music can be interpreted in many different ways 2: This song is technically about _the singer's relation with and reaction to_ horrible companies and evil rich people with hindsight.
@@MintyyKingbut her point still stands. A song can be interpreted by many views. You can feel relatable to just a certain chorus and not the whole with a different view.
@@kowore6761 except for some reason it's written with ä, which means it's pronounced completely differently, Rat means advice, but with the ä it's no longer a real word so i do why she put the Umlaut (that's what ö, ä, ü are called) there cuz it fucks up the meaning and I always read it wrong
@@xrathmakesvids that's not being a Karen you uninformed imbecile I called you out for marketing on other people's content you poor example of a brain cell
0:45 the lyric is actually "and i hope someday *selmers* rides her fucking train", its a reference to a character from the game Night In The Woods called Selmers :)
"Well I don't wanna eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heros first" Hits a LITTLE TOO HARD E: woah I've been mentally dead for these last 2weeks and this really exploded i-
Is it just me or does her tone sound kind of regretfully affectionate? As if she still holds a bit of nostalgia towards this person, despite realizing their faults. Idk, I may be reading a bit too much into it. Edit: I didn’t expect this to get attention, shit
to me she sounds really mad in the verses but nostalgic in the chorus,,,,,,,, like she sounds so angry but on “i loved you i loved you” her voice instantly lightens
"I don't wanna eat the rich I'd have to eat my hero's first." She still holds them as heros somewhere in her heart, through nostalgia, or just something in the back of her mind defending the damned elongated muskrat.
Lyrics: I come from scientists and atheists and White men who kill God They make technology high quality complex physiological Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good They taught me everything Just like a daddy should And you were beautiful and vulnerable And power and success God damn I fell for you your flamethrowers Your tunnels and your tech I studied code because I wanted To do something great like you And the real tragedy is half of it was true But we've been fucking mean We're elitist We're as flawed as any Church And this faux rad west coast dogma Has a higher fucking net worth I bit the apple 'cuz I trusted you But it tastes like Thomas Malthus Your proposal is immodest and insane And I hope someday Selmers rides her fucking train I loved you I loved you I loved you it's true I wanted to be you And do what you do I lived here I loved here I thought it was true I feel so stupid I feel so used I feel so used I was your baby Your first born The hot girl in your comp sci class And I was Darwin's prep school dream Bred born and raised to kick your ass I fell for circuit boards Rocket ships Pictures of the stars If you could only be what you pretend you are When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone I thought if mankind toured the sky It meant all of us could go But I don't want to see the stars if they're just One more piece of land for you to colonize For us to turn to sand Because we're so fucking mean We're so elitist We're as fucked as any church And this bullshit west coast dogma Has a higher fucking net worth I bit the apple 'cuz I loved you And why would you lie And then I realized You're just as naive as I am You're so traumatized it makes me wanna cry You dumb bitch I loved you I loved you I loved you it's true I wanted to be you And do what you do I lived here I loved here I bought it it's true I'm so embarrassed I feel abused Well I don't wanna eat the rich I'd have to eat my hero's first And my tuition's paid by blood I might deserve your fate or worse But I don't need your goddamn money I don't need jack shit from you So when I speak you bet your life my words are true Let me level with you man As someone guilty of the game I took the help I took the cash I would've taken your last name So if any girl on earth Should get to make a call about this It would be me and as I see it You're a dick So fuck your tunnels fuck your cars Fuck your rockets fuck your cars again You promised you'd be Tesla But you're just another Edison Because Tesla broke a patent All you ever broke were hearts I can't believe you tore humanity apart With the very same machines That could've been our brand new start And the worst part is I loved you I loved you I loved you it's true And sometimes I feel like I still fucking do I lived here I loved here I thought it was true I'm so embarrassed I feel abused I feel so used I feel so used Take me to the moon Because I feel so used I feel so used
Something I've not really seen mentioned in the comments is the reference to the video game "Night in the Woods" "...And I hope someday Selmers rides her fucking train." Referencing the character Selmers, an amateur poet who writes and reads the following poem in the second half of the game (albeit she mentions catching a bus, but I'll take what I can get): No reception here I wave my black phone In the air like a flare like a prayer but no reception I read on the Internet baby face boy billionaire Phone app sold made more money in one day than my family over 100 generations More than my whole world ever has World where house-buying jobs became rent-paying jobs became living with family jobs Boy billionaires Money is access access to politicians waiting for us to die lead in our water alcohol and painkillers Replace my job with an app replace my dreams of a house and a yard With a couch in the basement "The future is yours!" Forced 24-7 entrepreneurs. I just want a paycheck and my own life I'm on the couch in the basement they're in the house and the yard Some night I will catch a bus out to the west coast And burn their silicon city to the ground.
@Meep TheChiId im sorry about that, H was a fricking jerk, saying that S did a fake $u1c1d3 attempt- kinda messed up. i dont know what else to say because of how messed up that is, im sorry but i love how you, L, and S stayed with each by each other that was pretty loyal
*cough* I loved mandopony’s songs (the fnaf ones)and when I found out he was a fucking creep I was kinda sad like fuck man yo we’re my whole childhood,you and the fnaf games but OF COURSE no idol of mine can ever be a good person behind the scenes (it’s midnight this might make no sense soon)
This song I actually like because it shows humanity. Sometimes it sounds like her voice is breaking, like if she's about to cry. Other times explain themselves, like "Fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again." If you need explanation, she doesn't have a perfect thing to say, unlike most songs produced by major companies. The song is different, and that's why I (and maybe you too) love this song.
"When I said take me to the moon I didn't mean take me alone" is SUCH A GOOD LINE it talks about how the wealthy and famous go first also the parts that's like "and I don't wanna see the stars if there just another piece of land for us to colonize for us to turn to sand" is really good
The messed up thing about me was I actually memorized the lyrics of this song when I was still in elementary and turns out, it was actually the story of my life.
@Kim-Tae-Hana he has stolen some ideas from another smaller company which lead them to go out of business. He wants to create a utopia on Mars for his own good. He also has some machine that can help almost everyone but hasn't done anything with it that will help others. I know there is more but this stuff but this is the only thing I really have a full understanding of.
”I loved you it's true, and sometimes i feel like I still fucking do.” Hits me hard like a train, cuz I've been admiring someone so bad, turns out they had lied about me in their prospects, i feel used and unlovable, but yet i still kinda like them, since we've had a close relationship - And it's kinda sad bc i thought it was real, that I'd never do anything like this. I'd rather get myself involved in some fights for them. Because i trusted them. kinda sad they didn't feel the same
I got chills when it said "I loved you, I loved you, I loved you its true" because my dad when I say i love you he usually says "of course you do, you only love me when I get you something." but I really did love him. :(
A lot of people are talking about the flaws in these idealized figures, but I think this song goes deeper than that. It's talking about the system of capitalism. As kids, we're naive dreamers that want to create stories, explore the stars, save the planet. But as you grow older you realize that nothing is so pure. These idealized figures are slaves to the system just like everyone else, and that's why it's so disappointing. It seemed like they were different, but deep down they're exactly the same.
I knoe right? these perfect figures to inspire us actually have to do awful things to get there and the immeasurable dissapointment and realization that its just a game. anyone can fall into it, we fall into such a grind that it doesnt MATTER what we do anymore as long as you win the game? but now the things that made you so great are gone
She didn't plan on it, but yeah it definitely turned out that way Edit: I'm adding this here because I am getting slightly tired of people correcting me: "The song wasn't meant to center around one person to the degree its been interpreted, I just thought people would like the meme." -Penelope Scott. She IS referring to Elon Musk at some points, but the song isn't about him, its about the thing as a whole.
“i thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go” hit hard knowing if we ever get to a point where normal citizens can go to space, only the rich will be able to go
ahh, i remember playing this on repeat with my best friend more than a year ago.. now he's gone and now i'm alone listening to this.. BTW MUSIC STILL SLAPS :D
the part where she talks about loving the person and the place resonates with me. it brings back my emotionstowards my dad who has lied to me and the fact i looked up to and loved him, as well as his house. it just sadly hits home.
Everything about this is just,,, relatable, the anti-capitalism, the daddy issues, the rich kid guilt, the science kid anger, the Elon Musk hate, immaculate.
@@miryam815 I mean you don't really have to be rich to feel the same guilt, like I'm no where near rich but I still feel guilt over not being in poverty I feel like it's actually pretty common and just not talked about
@@hellothere702 yeah youre right, i'm just using rich to mean the whole upper middle class here, not just the 1% lol. i did grow up in poverty/homelessness, so sadly i can't relate either way
It’s different for everyone, but though it doesn’t match the lyrics, I think of my experience of breaking away from Christianity, when I was raised in the church, and faith in God and Christ had been with me since I was very little. To think what had been soothing my anxiety and doubts, assured me that I was special and meant for something, my entire life wasn’t real, felt like a betrayal. The only thing that gave me control, someone who would fight for me and keep me safe from the fears my parents couldn’t keep me safe from, that even when I knew something wasn’t right, I still desperately clung to, wasn’t ever with me. It felt like a death, and it felt like I wasn’t the same without what I thought was there. To realize that spreading their message was more important to them than helping those in need. Missionary trips were about giving resources to the “sad” people who didn’t know Christ, but teaching them about Christ was more important, and they couldn’t get one without the other. An all-seeing, all-powerful, benevolent God was a brutal punisher, who judges us on dedication to praise and serve him, and only after that, on how good a person we are. I was the kid who knew all the answers at Sunday school, who cried at the last sermon at Bible camp, who felt something I thought was special when the worship band would play, and we would all sing. To realize it was a lie, was to realize that what was the last thread keeping me from despair and self-hatred was never there. It’s a bit easier now, but sometimes when I wake up in the night and I can’t control my fear, I still pray hoping that somehow I can stop it in the moment.
Same tbh I just Broke off from Christianity about a month ago and became agnostic. I had so many conflicted emotions towards Christianity. I tried my hardest to pay attention in church, read the Bible, follow the rules. A main one was not being love with the same sex. But I couldn’t help it, I made a friend and I loved her more than a friend though. I told my parents they were mortified and told me I was confused and I was convinced I was confused. So tried my hardest to repressed those feelings but I gave up. I like girls & boys! So what? Why should I be ashamed of that? If god created us then why make me bisexual? If that was against his teachings? It’s all a lie anyways. Why be so cruel to gay people and hate them? I don’t want to worship a god that thinks that’s ok. So I decided I didn’t want to be Christian. This song just hits me in the feels, how I resent my parents for evening raising me to be Christian
@@bibbles8219 Yeah I like the same sex as well, and it was also difficult for me to accept myself, and tell my parents (they also thought I was confused and couldn’t know). It’s horrible when you don’t know if you should accept your own feelings.
@@bibbles8219 Religious indoctrination of kids is tantamount to child abuse, IMO, and your story reinforces that in my mind. Thanks for sharing and good luck with everything.
I know this song is about Elongated Muskrat, but in light of a lot of recent RU-vidr/Online Celeb events, I can’t think about how many people out there put their heroes on a pedestal, only to have that hero turn out to be a horrible person. The chorus especially just, relates to feelings I have surrounding that.
god. i was listening to this bc of Capitalism but the "i studied code because i wanted to do something great like you" hits different now that one of the people i looked up to was revealed to be the WORST KIND OF MONSTER
I met my best friend and partner because of an former online personality who is a monster. We are both hurting after learning this recently. And the chorus of this song is helping us to heal, “I loved you. I loved you. I loved you it’s true. I wanted to be you and do what you do. I lived here. I loved here. I thought it was true. I feel so stupid and so used.”
People saying this song isn't good Just because you've heard something better than this doesn't mean this isn't good. The one who heard this before you "better" one obviously will find this amazing just like i did. If you think this song isn't cool it's a you issue.
@@thatboysus1484 i literally saw someone imply her music sucks because it's popular with white girls once so in all honesty i feel like it's just a sexism thing
On one end I feel really bad for kids who had to spend some of their earlier teens and such in quarantine But at the same time I'm glad y'all seemed to have made the most of it!!
listening to this melts me down to nostalgia. I remember listening for the first time and crying because it meant so much. I was traumatized, filled with social anxiety, and I wanted to kms. The lyrics are so beautiful even now.
This song hits even more when you study science and you're not satisfied with your studies or the sexism in the field Edit: I'm giving up sciences to do something I'm actually interested in
Honestly I relate to this song a lot more than I should. There’s a lot of anger in her voice and the lyrics. Going through a breakup isn’t just sad, it makes you MAD. I feel like this song captures a lot of that.
0:44 The lyrics are misspelled here because it's officially Selmers. After the Night in the Woods character who writes a poem about getting on a train to burn down silicon valley.
Putting my 2 cents, I think its because of the older gen (like around 20-30 yrs ago) that were all ok with saying offensive shit. Like racist, misogynistic, ableist etc shit. That humor sorta acted like a cover to their actually terrible and flawed ideas, that they projected through their words that you can mistake as inscencere. Star power made these kinds of people untouchable, then our gen came a long and started to dismantle the offensive shit, so these types of people change themselves to make themselves seem "wholesome uwu 100." This also lures younger fans into false senses of security where they can prey on them easier. Star power is not as strong as it used to be because the internet makes it easier to expose terrible actions and behaviors. So no, these people arent becoming child gr00mers/terrible offensive peices of shit pie, they always were The internet is just finally doing its job for once
Kids who were labeled gifted at a young age and turned out to just be normal 🤝 kids who were deemed useless and stupid until they got out of school to become genius --> hating the system and relating to this song
"I don't need your god damn money, I don't need a god damn thing from you" About to apply to College, coming back from 5 years of addiction. I've been killing it in everything that I've been doing, and this is the most I've ever loved/known myself. It's music like this that has really inspired me to keep going. I need to help others not take the path that I did, or to get off of it. This life is so much more rewarding, stigma needs to be destroyed.
I think the lyrics "I hope one day selmers rides her fucking train" is cool. Selmers is a character from a videogame who writes a poem about wanting to get on a bus and burn silicon town.
That’s insane, nitw is my favorite game ever. It’s also ironic how Alex Holoka the game developer was accused of physical and emotional abuse of one of his coworkers so I guess the song is super fitting.
I think this song is honestly great for English essays. Like this is an allusion, except it’s one that students can actually get because it’s about stuff in their demographic, making the allusions hit the way they’re supposed to (as opposed to when stuffy white books allude to other stuffy white books). It has a great commentary, and the daddy issues/boyfriend issues act as a metaphor for a patriarchal system, as well as a reference to the whole “tech daddy” phenomena (Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates) while also seamlessly talking about the cycle of abuse, ultimately describing how the patriarchy abuses the people within it. There’s a lot more. Penelope Scott is the goddamn voice of our generation or something lol.
Its like "someone" who idolize a person but that person is changed so they killed it, but the other person is changed because they wanted to be like "someone" lol, so its perfect for both of them
Worshipping people like idols is a bad idea fellas. /////// Edit: My heart goes out to all of you who have had experiences with toxic idols (or just toxic people in your personal life, i have had that too). It's too bad we live in a world with boat-loads of them. Especially since I could count on two hands the number of them who are still getting away with illegal and ugly behavior. I wish people could just stand for good open their eyes and make their idols be responsible for their actions. Strength in numbers after all.
@@strifes8963 how though, I feel like being passive aggressive is writing a whole song that turns out to be a hit that doesn’t mention Elon musk but is a whole send for him
Personally, I see this song about a child that idolised the fuck out of there parents and other "heroes", and when they grew up they realised that they were lying and they feel abused and used (as stated in the song) Obviously it means something else but this is just my personal opinion
@@kaojulol he was with a company and than got fired so he took thier future ideas and made pay pal, ended up being dumb and selling it early, AND DONT EVEN THINK THE MAN MADE TESLA, because he didn’t. He helped out Tesla when they needed more money for thier parts, the two CEO’s took him on as a worker and gave him raises left and right and gave him the best service, and than elon went behind thier back and told everybody on the board to overthrow them and make me the new ceo. He also has machines that can save humanity but he would rather use them for killing/law enforcement/self defense. He also is going to make Mars a utopia of his custom, not a public living area, he is leeching off of the young generations money to make his dream of his own utopia on mars
