man when I first uploaded this i didn’t fix the lyrics on purpose ‘cause i didn’t expect anyone to watch this-now it has over a million views and a bunch of ppl are roasting me-
She’s such a good singer. All her songs have extremely deep meanings and it’s amazing how she can emphasise all of these things to make it an emotional but jaw dropping song at the same time.
This song has a really deep meaning, and I'm all here for it. Her vocals, the music, literally just everything is amazing- I'm so happy with how much progress she has now, like imagine if you were one of the judges who rejected her on the voice-
@@jianandreborcelo544 wow that's surprising you didn't know that!- She actually was, that's where her career as a singer started :) She sang "Toxic" by Britney Spears on the voice, atleast that's how I knew her.
When I was in highschool, I was bullied physically and mentally by teachers and classmates. This song reminds me of one event I will never forget. They begged me to come to the party and then they weren't there. I was running throughout the party cuz the guy was following me keep saying I love you,I want you,etc., And nobody helped me. I had to hide and run. Nobody helped me,but they helped him to find my hiding spot. This song describes how I felt that time.
2:25 This part hit me harder than a bullet. And I know some people say that as a joke, but it literally did. I could imagine a kidnapping happening right before my eyes and she literally sounds like she's trapped somewhere. I can hear it in her voice. The shakiness is unreal and I love how it adds a bit more horror to the aspect. 10/10! One of my favorite songs by far!
This song can be interpreted in so many ways... I know the meaning behind this song is r*pe and kidnapping but I also associate this song with my depression and my anxiety and how no matter how far you run you'll never get away from it Edit: I dont think I've ever gotten so many likes on a comment ever! Thx so much!!
I first listen to this song before my own anxiety and depression hit, but I seen it as me and my own darkness, like no matter what I cant hide from it and it chases me. Now its my issues from anxiety and depression and other disorders doin it-
I love this song I know has a dark meaning but thats the thing that i like, because it represents that in a perfect way, with those lyrics and music. This is why i love music, some of them tries to give you a message, some are a way to express a feeling, some are about something in general, its like, music and art are one of the best way to express anything.
I love the song, the only reason it isn’t my favourite is the distorted vocals. I love them as it shows how untrustworthy and manipulative the kidnapper was, but I also don’t like them as they feel out of place for some reason
The part where she says "eenie meenie miny mo" and the song being called tag you're it as if it is a "game" honestly gives me the chills since this is how most predators deal with Sexual assault as if it is a "game" it scares me how accurate some of her songs are
As someone that almost got kidnapped along with my friend once in 4th grade, this song is actually relatable. Let me tell you a little story. So, my friend and I were walking to the bus station with my mom as usual until my mom noticed that there was a van parked near, she found it really suspicious, so one day she wanted to make an experiment to see why they were there and we agreed. So, like any day, my friend, mom and me walked together to the station, when we were close, my mom picked up a pole she found near the bush she was gonna hide in and told us to keep walking forward and so we did. When we got close to the van, it suddenly unlocked and a man and a woman jumped out of it, they started running after us, we started running back to where my mom was hiding and my mom started to threaten them with the pole, asked them what they thought they were doing and if they return one more time, she won't hesitate to call the police, they told her that they're very sorry and that we'll never see them again. We fortunately never did, God, me and my friend almost shat our pants, we were so scared. I now walk alone and I'm always so scared that someone will try to kidnap me again.
This song makes me remember many events that took place late 2020/early 2021 for me, I was doxxed, stalked, had my face leaked, had constant harassment sent my way, death threats and all sorts of degenerate stuff. I was not able to run away from my attackers because they would always find me no matter what I did, it felt like a game but it was a game that never ended. the lyrics “running through the parking lot, he chased me and he wouldn’t stop” reminds me of the several times I tried escaping it all, but no matter what i did, my attackers were chasing after me and they wouldn’t stop, and nobody would hear my cries for help because everyone thought my harassers were good people and I was the only girl in the group so they thought my cries for help were petty. The harassment went on for a whole year and it only stopped when people finally realized what they were doing to me, but it was too late. They completely got away with everything they did to me and they are still out there. I haven’t heard this song in several years but hearing it again reminds me all that has happened, I know the meaning of this song but it has a different meaning to me, and it’s my experiences of being doxxed and harassed. To anybody reading this dealing with a similar problem, get help right away, it will be scary coming out with such things to someone but trust me, it’ll be worth it in the end.
That’s so deep and I never got doxxed or cyberbullied but the fact that your bullies got away with it is crazy 1 tip I have in case is always try and get a screenshot of there user or name cuz if you report them to the police or something you will have some proofs hope you got well
This song reminds me a lot of the horrible things I went through in my life, including depression and anxiety. Especially, the line "run through the parking lot" because I have always run from my problems and believed that I am always a target for others.

If you‘re like me and you want to sing along to the song but don’t know the lyrics well (since the lyrics fade in and out) and the lyrics are not in the description, this comment is useful for me! :)
I love the way she pronounces or says the last words in her sentences with this song. I can’t explain it but it just sits right with my ears. Parts like 0:12-0:150:31 and 2:09. 2:31 is also my favorite part and how her voice gets more in the feel of the song and intensifies at 2:42/2:46. It’s beautiful. I know the lyrics and meaning behind this song is sad though, however I still like it and appreciate melanie’s animated voice style during singing.
Confession here, when I was in elementary I heard this song a few times and on my 9th birthday I sang the chorus on the intercom and told people that I had made it, I didn’t know what copyright was at the time but I still felt guilty that I had lied. One of my day care teachers realized that it wasn’t mine when she looked it up, I wasn’t in trouble nor was I picked on, but I still felt terrible, now I know what the song actually means and seemed worse for me, and ever since then I didn’t want to listen to the song because of that. Now I’m here to let go of the past and enjoy the voice of the person who really made the song, Sorry Melanie… 😢
Tag, You're It" is about Cry Baby getting kidnapped, utilizing the children's game "tag" as a metaphor. After Cry Baby breaks up with Johnny, she is very vulnerable and alone and gets kidnapped by a "wolf". As the song begins, it is evident that the "wolf" has been watching her for a while, and sees her as the perfect victim. The "wolf" pulls up alongside Cry Baby in his car and offers her candy. The tinted windows will hide her once she’s inside. Despite the fact that she says no, he continues to pursue her and chase her through the parking lot, meaning that she's running and he's following after her. The phrase, "Tag, you're it" is a metaphor for him catching her. He finally catches up to her, pushing her down to stop her from running and covers her mouth so she cannot scream. She still screams for help, but her situation is starting to seem hopeless. She attempts to fight back by biting him, despite being incapacitated in the lyric, "little bit of poison in me, I can taste your skin in my teeth". She is taken to his basement where he is fascinated by the proof of her presence through something as simple as her breathing. As the last part of the chorus is sung her tone shifts to a more bitter and angry tone, having given up hope of being rescued. The repetition of the phrase makes it seem as if it was replaying it in her head. 🎉THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ONLINE🎉
The way she sing the last chorus is insane,Melanie is one of my favorite singer and i literally started scared after listing this song is amazing 🌸❤️❤️
When I listen to this song I think of the man as anxiety, and me as Melanie. I can also picture everything happening in my head from the lyrics. This is a great song and I love it. :) (That sounds really stupid but I am born for music so this is how I think with some songs lol)
@@madhatter6337 i hate R3pe even tho i never got r3p4d before Many people did And i hate it r3p4 can get you for a life time sentence or even worse by that i mean death sentence
This song makes me bust down in tears every time. let me explain. when me and three of my friend lived in a small neighborhood with just us (i still live next to them) there was always this creepy house that me and my friends would go up to and make dumb theories that he kidnapped children. one of my friends had another friend that lived in that creepy house with her dad (the creepy guy). she went missing awhile go but we didn’t ask him or anything. he never came out of his home, never mowed the lawn, or moved his car. it was a dump. i didn’t know what he looked like at all so i was a little scared of him, especially because we called him a kidnapper. one day me and one of my friends were sitting outside, laying in the grass on her front lawn. we were having fun until we heard someone screaming from that house. we both agreed i should go back to my house so there i went. my dad and mom heard it too apparently and thought it was just us screaming, but of course it wasn’t. my parents went to go knock on his door and no answer. i decide to go back up to my friends house because i thought it was fine. my other friend joined us too and we didn’t tell her about the guy because we didn’t want to freak her out. we go walking up the road as we pass his house. it was pitch black out but we were used to it because we always stayed out late. the street lights were on though. one of my friends realize he walked out of his house and was staring at us. we all ran but i was wearing flip flops. he was running after me and my friend were screaming to catch up and i was crying. i quickly tried to take my flip flops off but of course it was way too late. he dragged me inside his home and he raped me for 2 years. reminder, i was 10 at the time and was 12 when he was finally found. instead of taking me to his home, he went to his friend house and they would all rape me together. it’s the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me in my life. the cops finally found me when i hid in a closet and called the cops. i needed an abortion because he got me pregnant i had to go to jail longer than all the men that did those awful things to me. it wasn’t my fault i got pregnant but it was the law. my parents and everyone were so terrified and scared for me. 4 years later i still get nauseous at the thought. ‘running through the parking lot’ always reminds me of that and makes me cry, please be careful kids. (No hate to melanie!)
I have kept this secret for years, convincing myself that it wasn't a big deal and I wasn't hurt by it. The thought of accepting that my best friend sent me to the abyss seems insane. Even typing that doesn't feel real to me. I started telling this story to those closest to me as somewhat of a joke, "haha can you believe this crazy night!?" But I began to get responses I wasn't expecting. Concerned ones. It's hard to say someone you loved sent you into the abyss. Someone you STILL love. The thought of writing this and having the world see it terrifies me. Especially because of who this person is. This was my best friend. She took me in, which I was so grateful for. I felt like I owed her my life. And my life began to revolve around hers. I had my own problems, but if I could focus on her life, I could put off dealing with my own inner turmoil for just a bit longer. Some of her fans became my fans, but their loyalty never strayed from her. They are dedicated. She's perfect. To the public, she can do no wrong. She's there for her fans. She gets it, she's different. When faced with a friend who really needed help though, I can honestly say she let me down completely. During the most difficult time in my life, my rock bottom. Her power and control over me grew and I grew. And I was silenced. While being open about realizing how much help I needed, I was made to feel guilty. I had to apologize for having an extreme panic attack, where I thought I was going to die. Because it ruined her night. Endless incidents like this. I had become a skill issue lol
And that why guys don't go near girls or touch girls that much because of this "oh he r@pe me" or "don't touch me you pervert" like that I will prefer to date a guy unlikely girls and I'm straight
@@CA_RaeganRae But I think it'll never stop,people keep getting worse,and the others are just like "It's okay,don't be scared it's alright" like..why ?? I think they just don't understand..I hope you're feeling better now ?
I really loved Melanie Martinez, I been listening to her songs for like ever seems I was 8. And now I am 16 and still listening to it. I do know the deep meaning. Good I don’t really relate to it I never been kidnapped. But her songs are really amazing but also sad deep meanings.
I have a friend who really loves Melanie Martinez, I just didn't find many of her songs appealing until now. I've heard this song so many times on different Dandy's World TikToks, it's really good.
My favourite songs Tag you're it Blame it on kids Bury a friend Villain *All these songs I have been introduced by the promised neverland amv's so thank you*
Strawberry Shortcake talks about the sexualization and objectification of girls Dollhouse talks about dysfunctional families pretending to be perfect Sippy Cup talks about alcoholism Tag You're It talks about kidnapping The Principal talks about toxic politicians Teacher's Pet talks about grooming Mrs. Potato Head talks about low self esteem and plastic surgery addiction Playdate talks about casual sexual relationships Mad Hatter talks about mental health issues Orange Juice talks about eating disorders Cake talks about objectification in relationships Alphabet Boy talks about love interests with huge academic egos Teddy Bear talks about fixing up broken relationships
Most of these are obvious, but these are my theories about the lyrics. Took the words right out my mouth: Either scared her so bad she couldn't speak or he covered her mouth so she couldn't. Little bit of poison in me: He drugged her, and she still feels the effects. I can taste your skin in my teeth: She bit him when she was fighting him off and drew blood. Can anybody hear me am I hidden underground: I believe she was either in the basement of his home or this is her POV after she was killed, and is LITERALLY underground, in a shallow grave.

I don’t know how but this song helps me….. my dad was a narcissistic farther and I was the scape goat of the family. It hurts me so much that he used me and emotionally abused me and groomed me. It hurts but this song is amazing and helps me. My step sister was the golden child she could do no wrong but me the scapegoat got all the back lash and got all the blame. I’m 15 now this had happened this year but I’m stronger. And my future kids won’t go through what I have been through and that’s comforting.
Can't listen to this without thinking of my first boyfriend. Didn't understand what "no" meant and was abusive in every form Including physical. Also tried isolating me from my friends and family. For the longest time it worked too since it was my first relationship and I had no idea how they were supposed to go. Let him convince me I was the bad guy till one day I couldn't take it anymore. Broke things off and told him if he ever came around me again he'd better hope the cops got to him before my dad did.

You right 🎉
As someone that almost got kidnapped along with my friend once in 4th grade, this song is actually relatable.
Let me tell you a little story.
So, my friend and I were walking to the bus station with my mom as usual until my mom noticed that there was a van parked near, she found it really suspicious, so one day she wanted to make an experiment to see why they were there and we agreed.
So, like any day, my friend, mom and me walked together to the station, when we were close, my mom picked up a pole she found near the bush she was gonna hide in and told us to keep walking forward and so we did.
When we got close to the van, it suddenly unlocked and a man and a woman jumped out of it, they started running after us, we started running back to where my mom was hiding and my mom started to threaten them with the pole, asked them what they thought they were doing and if they return one more time, she won't hesitate to call the police, they told her that they're very sorry and that we'll never see them again.
We fortunately never did,
God, me and my friend almost shat our pants, we were so scared.
I now walk alone and I'm always so scared that someone will try to kidnap me again.
Thats terrible, that shouldnt ever happen to anyone :( i hope you and your friend feel better
@@casey_rolle We do feel much better but I'm still really scared whenever I walk alone, I keep looking behind me.

Lyrics:
Looking at me through your window
Boy, you had your eye out for a little
"I'll cut you up and make you dinner
You've reached the end, you are the winner"
Rolling down your tinted window
Driving next to me real slow, he said
"Let me take you for a joyride
I've got some candy for you inside"
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me I'm hidden under ground
Can anybody hear me am I talking to myself
Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
Little bit of poison in me
I can taste your skin in my teeth
"I love it when I hear you breathing
I hope to god you're never leaving"
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouthf
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me I'm hidden under ground
Can anybody hear me am I talking to myself
Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
Eenie meenie miny mo
Get your lady by her toes
If she screams, don't let her go
Eenie meenie miny mo
Your mother said to pick the very best girl
And I am
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
But it’s a lyric video-
If you‘re like me and you want to sing along to the song but don’t know the lyrics well (since the lyrics fade in and out) and the lyrics are not in the description, this comment is useful for me! :)
@@meowski. its a lyric vid wtf
@@april_20133 maybe if the lyric video weren't so fast, it wouldn't had been an issue
@@april_20133 But if you want to train the lyrics, you need all the lyric song there with you, and in the video the letters fade away
I love the way she pronounces or says the last words in her sentences with this song. I can’t explain it but it just sits right with my ears. Parts like 0:12-0:15 0:31 and 2:09. 2:31 is also my favorite part and how her voice gets more in the feel of the song and intensifies at 2:42/2:46. It’s beautiful. I know the lyrics and meaning behind this song is sad though, however I still like it and appreciate melanie’s animated voice style during singing.
I love the song 😍 thank you ❤️ for posting it ❤️💕💗
Something about Melanie is both beautiful and eerie, I love her style as a unique "pop" artist
Confession here, when I was in elementary I heard this song a few times and on my 9th birthday I sang the chorus on the intercom and told people that I had made it, I didn’t know what copyright was at the time but I still felt guilty that I had lied. One of my day care teachers realized that it wasn’t mine when she looked it up, I wasn’t in trouble nor was I picked on, but I still felt terrible, now I know what the song actually means and seemed worse for me, and ever since then I didn’t want to listen to the song because of that. Now I’m here to let go of the past and enjoy the voice of the person who really made the song, Sorry Melanie… 😢
Tag, You're It" is about Cry Baby getting kidnapped, utilizing the children's game "tag" as a metaphor. After Cry Baby breaks up with Johnny, she is very vulnerable and alone and gets kidnapped by a "wolf". As the song begins, it is evident that the "wolf" has been watching her for a while, and sees her as the perfect victim. The "wolf" pulls up alongside Cry Baby in his car and offers her candy. The tinted windows will hide her once she’s inside. Despite the fact that she says no, he continues to pursue her and chase her through the parking lot, meaning that she's running and he's following after her. The phrase, "Tag, you're it" is a metaphor for him catching her. He finally catches up to her, pushing her down to stop her from running and covers her mouth so she cannot scream. She still screams for help, but her situation is starting to seem hopeless. She attempts to fight back by biting him, despite being incapacitated in the lyric, "little bit of poison in me, I can taste your skin in my teeth". She is taken to his basement where he is fascinated by the proof of her presence through something as simple as her breathing. As the last part of the chorus is sung her tone shifts to a more bitter and angry tone, having given up hope of being rescued. The repetition of the phrase makes it seem as if it was replaying it in her head. 🎉THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ONLINE🎉

Ty, why is everybody ignoring this hardwork of you for us! 😭❤✨
Wow ty
@kellykotora7424 Nobody cares if u asked

Listing to this song gives me anxiety because I had to go through this when I was only 7 or 8 but it's still a good song because of the meaning.
Im so sorry :(
@@Haha-fr7keits okay
I'm Really Sorry, I hope everything is better now

I love this song because it reminds me of when a person started following me around the street and I remember how I started running and running. 😢
Love this song and the video you are so underrated :D
This is amazing! Thanks for posting it!
The way she sing the last chorus is insane,Melanie is one of my favorite singer and i literally started scared after listing this song is amazing 🌸❤️❤️
This song can be interpreted in so many ways, idk why but I really love this song.
When I listen to this song I think of the man as anxiety, and me as Melanie. I can also picture everything happening in my head from the lyrics. This is a great song and I love it. :)
(That sounds really stupid but I am born for music so this is how I think with some songs lol)
everyone can interpret the song differently. That's a way to interpret it and I relate to it to. This song can also be related to r@p3 or kidnapping
I love the song they did a great job on it (:
@@madhatter6337 i hate R3pe even tho i never got r3p4d before Many people did And i hate it r3p4 can get you for a life time sentence or even worse by that i mean death sentence
@@halalsoldierlisteningtonok7454 yeah i hate R3pe to obviously. Any human hates r3pe, only monsters do that thing.
@@madhatter6337 yeah but the only way to get rid of them is death you need to kill them to get rid of them no other way
This song makes me bust down in tears every time. let me explain. when me and three of my friend lived in a small neighborhood with just us (i still live next to them) there was always this creepy house that me and my friends would go up to and make dumb theories that he kidnapped children. one of my friends had another friend that lived in that creepy house with her dad (the creepy guy). she went missing awhile go but we didn’t ask him or anything. he never came out of his home, never mowed the lawn, or moved his car. it was a dump. i didn’t know what he looked like at all so i was a little scared of him, especially because we called him a kidnapper. one day me and one of my friends were sitting outside, laying in the grass on her front lawn. we were having fun until we heard someone screaming from that house. we both agreed i should go back to my house so there i went. my dad and mom heard it too apparently and thought it was just us screaming, but of course it wasn’t. my parents went to go knock on his door and no answer. i decide to go back up to my friends house because i thought it was fine. my other friend joined us too and we didn’t tell her about the guy because we didn’t want to freak her out. we go walking up the road as we pass his house. it was pitch black out but we were used to it because we always stayed out late. the street lights were on though. one of my friends realize he walked out of his house and was staring at us. we all ran but i was wearing flip flops. he was running after me and my friend were screaming to catch up and i was crying. i quickly tried to take my flip flops off but of course it was way too late. he dragged me inside his home and he raped me for 2 years. reminder, i was 10 at the time and was 12 when he was finally found. instead of taking me to his home, he went to his friend house and they would all rape me together. it’s the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me in my life. the cops finally found me when i hid in a closet and called the cops. i needed an abortion because he got me pregnant i had to go to jail longer than all the men that did those awful things to me. it wasn’t my fault i got pregnant but it was the law. my parents and everyone were so terrified and scared for me. 4 years later i still get nauseous at the thought. ‘running through the parking lot’ always reminds me of that and makes me cry, please be careful kids. (No hate to melanie!)
Oh my gosh i swear literal tears are rolling down my cheeks reading this, I hope your okay!! GOD I HOPE THOSE MEN BURNNN IN HELL- are u okay???
@@simply_parisah yes i’m okay now, tysm
sending hugs
Bro got me traumatized... But are u okay!?
Sorry to hear it. You must be so trauma that time😢😢
I have kept this secret for years, convincing myself that it wasn't a big deal and I wasn't hurt by it. The thought of accepting that my best friend sent me to the abyss seems insane. Even typing that doesn't feel real to me. I started telling this story to those closest to me as somewhat of a joke, "haha can you believe this crazy night!?" But I began to get responses I wasn't expecting. Concerned ones. It's hard to say someone you loved sent you into the abyss. Someone you STILL love. The thought of writing this and having the world see it terrifies me.
Especially because of who this person is. This was my best friend. She took me in, which I was so grateful for. I felt like I owed her my life. And my life began to revolve around hers. I had my own problems, but if I could focus on her life, I could put off dealing with my own inner turmoil for just a bit longer. Some of her fans became my fans, but their loyalty never strayed from her. They are dedicated. She's perfect. To the public, she can do no wrong. She's there for her fans. She gets it, she's different.
When faced with a friend who really needed help though, I can honestly say she let me down completely. During the most difficult time in my life, my rock bottom. Her power and control over me grew and I grew. And I was silenced. While being open about realizing how much help I needed, I was made to feel guilty. I had to apologize for having an extreme panic attack, where I thought I was going to die. Because it ruined her night. Endless incidents like this. I had become a skill issue lol
I hope you're fine now ? No one deserves to live this type of shit..
shes retard no offense
idk what that word means but i hope ur ok
The fact almost all of those things have happened to me is disgusting. And people wonder why I’m terrified of men
That's sounds terrible... :(
I hope you got better now.
Same. They told me I'm over reacting when they push me towards guys.
And that why guys don't go near girls or touch girls that much because of this "oh he r@pe me" or "don't touch me you pervert" like that I will prefer to date a guy unlikely girls and I'm straight
@@ethanleejones4442 Or it maybe has something to do with you being an unemphatetic incel. I don't know, just a guess.
I'm so sorry for you, i hope you're fine

I’m pretty sure it’s about that and kidnapping. Ty for saying not to make jokes
2:25-2:41 is the most fire part 🔥
As a 12 year old who’s been assulted, this song hits hard. As rough or light a story is, that shits traumatizing. No matter what happens

I really loved Melanie Martinez, I been listening to her songs for like ever seems I was 8. And now I am 16 and still listening to it. I do know the deep meaning. Good I don’t really relate to it I never been kidnapped. But her songs are really amazing but also sad deep meanings.
Love this song😍😍💖
This song... it has me shaking and crying sometimes
You did so good on the lyrics devently when it was the bit where she was telling us the words the person said to her
She has a beautiful voice
The ending beat is everything
I have a friend who really loves Melanie Martinez, I just didn't find many of her songs appealing until now. I've heard this song so many times on different Dandy's World TikToks, it's really good.

Idk when is my first time listening to this but it still my fav song
Perfect
This song is something that I can’t explain with words!
Most of these are obvious, but these are my theories about the lyrics.
Took the words right out my mouth: Either scared her so bad she couldn't speak or he covered her mouth so she couldn't.
Little bit of poison in me: He drugged her, and she still feels the effects.
I can taste your skin in my teeth: She bit him when she was fighting him off and drew blood.
Can anybody hear me am I hidden underground: I believe she was either in the basement of his home or this is her POV after she was killed, and is LITERALLY underground, in a shallow grave.
I think it's about SA and the hidden underground is the person kidnapped and that nobody couldn't hear it?
Killing stalking in a nutshell
@@undividedstars no need to be aggressive damn
I thought the can anyone hear me part is her being buried underground then like suffocating
I can taste your skin in my teeth I thought smth sus
Lyrics😊
Looking at me through your window
Boy, you had your eye out for a little
"I'll cut you up and make you dinner
You've reached the end, you are the winner"
Rolling down your tinted window
Driving next to me real slow, he said
"Let me take you for a joyride
I've got some candy for you inside"
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden from the ground?
Can anybody hear me when I'm talking to myself?
Saying, "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
Little bit of poison in me
I can taste your skin in my teeth
"I love it when I hear you breathing
I hope to God you're never leaving"
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden underground?
Can anybody hear me? Am I talking to myself?
Saying, "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
Eenie, meenie, miny, mo
Catch your lady by her toes
If she screams, don't let her go
Eenie, meenie, miny, mo
Your mother said to pick the very best girl
And I am
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Take the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
this song reminds me of how i can never escape my anxiety
This song brings back so many bad memories 😪" can anybody hear me when I'm hidden underground " .
This song makes me feel the real meaning in this song. she sings it really good.
This song is really a masterpiece
Yeah
This is years ago but this song is still a masterpiece
I remember blastin tf outta this song not even understanding the lyrics back when i was a kid 😭🙏
I don’t know how but this song helps me….. my dad was a narcissistic farther and I was the scape goat of the family. It hurts me so much that he used me and emotionally abused me and groomed me. It hurts but this song is amazing and helps me. My step sister was the golden child she could do no wrong but me the scapegoat got all the back lash and got all the blame. I’m 15 now this had happened this year but I’m stronger. And my future kids won’t go through what I have been through and that’s comforting.
I love this song so much, I can feel my inner child dance everytime I listen to this song
her songs always have deep meanings, thats why i love her
i love this song so much,the deep it has makes me remember what happened when i was 8,i wish i didn't remember..
Can't listen to this without thinking of my first boyfriend. Didn't understand what "no" meant and was abusive in every form Including physical. Also tried isolating me from my friends and family. For the longest time it worked too since it was my first relationship and I had no idea how they were supposed to go. Let him convince me I was the bad guy till one day I couldn't take it anymore. Broke things off and told him if he ever came around me again he'd better hope the cops got to him before my dad did.
I hope you're fine now ? No one deserves this type of shit,I'm sorry for you..
I'm 3 years into the future y'all- And this song still hits HARD! Melanie Martinez for freakin life!!!!
This song gives a very deep meaning
