I like all of Poppy's albums, but this EP has the best arrangement, it's the most brutal. Particularly placing The Holy Mountain right after Meat and Scary Mask. It adds so many new layers of meaning to all of three songs. Gosh, it hits me like a brick wall. It's beautiful, holy and deeply horrible, like something out of a Dostoevsky novel or Pink Floyd's The Wall, but very 2020s.
Choke lyrics: Help, I'm drowning There's nobody around me I need someone to save me Can you come and take me? Help, I'm choking There's liquid in my breathing I think I'm sinking The oxygen is leaking Choke Choke Choke Choke The demon has seen me He said "I'm not leaving" The angel is watching me, knows he can't stop me I'm guessing they're testing me Getting the best of me Don't know how long until they see the rest of me Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke They don't believe me My heart isn't beating They say I'm imagining, just make believing The geometry I am seeing Is leading me to frequencies in my chest, and they're teasing me Choke Choke Choke Choke Now everything's clearer I look in the mirror And laugh at the past in the face of the fear The angel is watching me laugh And he stops me To tell me that the end is here Transition completed The demon's defeated He disappears into the smoke All systems are go Countdown, five, four, three, two, one Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke Choke
Voicemail lyrics: I can't feel my fingers I can't feel my toes There's blood on my necklace And blood on my clothes I called up the police Their voicemail was full I guess I'm just out here I'm on my own I'm on my own, I'm on my own I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own I'm on my own, I'm on my own I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Baby wants to come home to daddy Baby wants to come home to daddy Poppy is your mommy Poppy is your mommy Do I make you angry? Should I leave you alone? You keep running from me It's all that you know きみはずかしい てにいましょう I guess I'm just out here I'm on my own I'm on my own, I'm on my own I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own I'm on my own, I'm on my own I'm on my, I'm on my, I'm on my own Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' Poppy is your mommy Poppy is your mommy
Scary Mask lyrics (edited bc i need to hear the lyrics lol) : I wear my scary mask When i'm afraid I don't belong You can't read my brain until it's off Not coming off, not coming off Get up I'm never gonna take it off so don't touch me Never gonna take it off, stop looking at me Never gonna take it off so don't touch me Never gonna take it off, stop looking at me I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright You ain't gonna see me tonight M-A-S-K Am i ok? M-A-S-K Am i ok? M-A-S-K Am i ok? M-A-S-K Am i ok? Pop pop pop pop (Are you wearing your mask) Pop pop pop (are you wearing your mask) It wasn't me but I ain't scared now It wasn't me but I don't care now It wasn't me but I ain't scared now It wasn't me but I don't care now I wear my scary mask When i'm afraid I don't belong You can't read my brain until it's off Not coming off, not coming off You can't read my brain until it's off Not coming off I'm never gonna take it off so don't touch me Never gonna take it off Stop looking at me Never gonna take it off so don't touch me Never gonna take it off Stop looking at me I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright You ain't gonna see me tonight I said don't look at me! Well, you heard the woman So f*cking look away I'm never gonna take it off so don't touch me Never gonna take it off Stop looking at me
It's genuinely my favorite EP of all time, it crushes my soul, it's so visceral and raw, I love how she becomes existentialist in the last few songs, feels like someone suffering in a cruel world.
Meat lyrics: Parasitic intergalactic savages Will land here in 2033 Heaven destroyed your planets before The star force came to feed I saw my brother devoured A river of blood when it tore off his head But they'll leave organized A system for harvesting human flesh Plug me into the feeding machine Ten in a pen pressed against me Cut out my tongue so that I can't scream There's meat, there's meat on me Antibiotics keep me alive Now that everyone I love has died Hang me up and strip me clean There's meat, there's meat on me You've heard stories about the free ones The few who escape the alien's grip Living underground in star cities In the deep and dark they resist But I don't know if I believe it When they caught me there weren't many left They only force us to breed in here I just hope they kill me quick Plug me into the feeding machine Ten in a pen pressed against me Cut out my tongue so that I can't scream There's meat, there's meat on me Antibiotics keep me alive Now that everyone I love has died Hang me up and strip me clean There's meat, there's meat on me In light of the sick to maximize efficiency Approach the back into our feed for optimal delivery Right here in the slaughterhouse screams Around the killing floor And I hope to chase my adrenaline Soak up my pus-filled sores Plug me into the feeding machine Ten in a pen pressed against me Cut out my tongue so that I can't scream There's meat, there's meat on me Wrap me up in cellophane Labeled organic, label me grade A My tendon is cut between your teeth There's meat, there's meat on me There's meat, there's meat on me There's meat, there's meat on me There's meat, there's meat on me There's meat, there's meat on me
Choke - she got strangled by someone attacking her Voicemail - she tried calling the police but their voicemail was full Scary mask - she turns over to see her killer in a mask Meat - she got madurdered and cannibalized The holy mountain - she went to heaven Just something I thought sounded cool it might sound stupid to y’all but who cares
The holy Mountain lyrics: When I met God He looked me in the face And told me to wait When I met God He told me that the human race Was wasting away again He took my hand and showed the way To his sacred place It was the only time we got to Climb the holy mountain All the doors that opened Led to the fountain If you know the way that Takes you to the mountain Let yourself be blown away So I said to God How do I change my ways? He laughed in my face And I screamed at God How dare you put me in my place He started to pray for me He took my hand and showed the way To his sacred place It was the only time we got to Climb the holy mountain All the doors that opened Led to the fountain If you know the way that Takes you to the mountain Let yourself be blown away It was the only time we got to Climb the holy mountain All the doors that opened Led to the fountain If you know the way that Takes you to the mountain Let yourself be blown away
@@GPReeds probably the creator because the god she sings about isn't God the creator. if you have grabbed enough context from her different songs that shouldn't be too far of a reach for anyone
Zheani and Poppy have nothing in common, also Zheani isn't even that original or are you commenting on her videos that she should credit scarlxrd and Grimes for her look and sound?
i love poppy songs this is what i needed while i tidy up my room :) // amo las canciones de poppy esto es lo que precisaba mientras ordeno mi cuarto :)
The entirety of "Choke" is absolute perfection. Every note, every pause, every sound is exactly where it should be. From Choke through The Holy Mountain... it's just right. She will save us all.
