The Marías - bop it up! 

bop it up! was written by María and Josh in the summer of 2020. ‘bop it up!’ is a feeling. “bop it up!” is me trying not to care and to just overcome my insecurities. the red clones in the animation represent my deepest insecurities, the voices in my head. the water represents my emotional insecurities. the snakes represent my reactive insecurities. they all morph together sometimes, transforming into the other before my very eyes.

LYRICS
tell me we’re not all the same
i’ve been second guessing my body
tell me I’m the one to blame
never will I tell you I’m sorry
pick me up
pull me down
kiss my neck
lemme drown
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
when my body aches
when it’s time to go
when I gotta be a picture on a picture show
in my head there’s someone like you
seven summers in the tide pools
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
i made a mess
inside my head
i’m made of stone
i’m taking notes
i kinda like
this faded pen
can’t read my mind
can’t take my breath
cuz I’m the man
naw you’re a sheep
a couple grand
then fall asleep
but I don’t hear nothin
you’re such a drag
i fix a hole
and break my back
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
bop it up! (Oh no no no no no)
