“I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out.”

“Motion Sickness,” Phoebe Bridgers

              i’m SCAREDto get close &&i hate being ALONE

                                      my mother, she told me, “don’t be a QUITTER.”
                           my father, he told me he knew i was.

                                    welcome to my  cage  , little lover.

I’m a veteran of this war I have not begun to fight.

I’ve not even scratched the surface of the things that I just might.

“now you want me, took a lot to make you want me now, now you want me now, she don’t love me, she just love how i feel”

Bakery by Melanie Martinez

Let’s talk about it, cause I’m not buying that she did all this just over a job she did years ago.

Not my first pick but I’ll do it

Make the cash right so I could move quick

Out the shithole with a new whip

Cream on top I’m about to prove it

Y'know, okay fair enough! But explain the rest of it. Choices were made in its production and you can’t tell me they were random

Her song and video are on the following topics (besides her job) as far as I can tell:

Sexuality

Well, first of all:

Melanie has talked about being raised in a “traditional Latin household” and how she’d been made to feel ashamed of her sexuality.

But also:

Eating all the rainbow cookies

Rainbow associating with LGBT, and cookies I’ll talk about in a minute. For those who don’t know btw, Melanie is bisexual herself. While she’s LBTQ herself, she can still pass as straight.

Next,

The unforgiving nature of the church

My boss is Mother Mary

Catch me slipping through the concrete

Show no mercy, step right on me

Stiletto death, send me to purgatory

And,

Arbitrary, the way they all go

Knock ‘em down like she a dodge ball

Little mess up and she’s angry

One downfall, she blame the whole team

Oppressive and nitpicky huh?

I don’t know if she was raised in a Christian household to be fair but there’s no other way for me to interpret this when she outright tells us her boss is Mother freaking Mary. This whole bakery represents Christianity/ the church.

Moving on,

The role of women

The bakery, tryna make some more

They expect me to stay when I should go

Grab the bag for when I cross the door

It ain’t for me to roll it out

It’s just for me to raise the dough

Bearing and raising children. Except she has no real say in their actual upbringing, cause that’s where the Church takes over. Their minds, lives, outlook, morality and identity are shaped according to Christian standards

Cookie cutter

We talked about rainbow cookies earlier, and we just talked about the Church rolling out the dough… Melanie herself is the dough being shaped and formed… The shape is a girl in a skirt, which later gets decorated very plainly… I mean 2 + 2 + 2 + 2= ?

Ignore this part

Pack it, box it, flip it, top it

With a bow tied, ribbon, stop it

Eating all the rainbow cookies

Okay so this might be a total stretch, but hear me out:

She only mentions the rainbow cookies getting eaten. Like the faulty products that aren’t good enough to be sold, so they’re consumed and done away with by the staff members. The others are packed, tied with a ribbon and sent off.

Melanie was prettied up in a pink dress and blue accessories and packed off, presumably, to her mother in law’s house. Where she isn’t eaten but still cut up and layed out bleeding:

Finally,

Angel v.s. devil

I don’t know what to do with this… but:

I’m sorry, but this girl has horns^

And hooves^!!

There’s parts in this song that I can’t figure out what she could possibly mean by them, so I’m not drawing any conclusions but I do want to open this discussion.

If anyone has anything to add or contest this please share your thoughts.
