Melanie Martinez – Dollhouse Lyrics 3 years ago
This song has a complex yet simple meaning. When put in simplest words, this song is about a little girl who likely has trauma from her family and what she’s seen. She’s confused about why everyone thinks her family is “that one perfect family who posts happy pictures on their facebook page”.

Clairo – Bubble Gum Lyrics 3 years ago
I can relate to this song. I think it has many different meanings
“Bubblegum down my throat and it’s a curse” might mean that she feels that it’s too late to make an impression on the person she wants to be with. I think she feels frustrated because she “missed her chance”, if that makes sense.
“I’d do anything for you, but would you do that for me too?” Maybe this hints at the fact that the person she’s interested in was at one point interested in her, but she turned them down or didn’t talk to them.

“Sorry I didn’t kiss you, but it’s obvious I wanted to” further proves my theory. This lyric is especially symbolic because it straight up summarizes the whole songs meaning. The lyric also shows her guilt for turning down/ignoring the person, and also shows her longing to be with the person.

In summary, I believe this song is a great representation of frustration, guilt, and longing feelings. This song is short but we’ll written. I feel every word.
