Training Wheels Lyrics

Cover art for Training Wheels lyrics by Melanie Martinez

The meaning is obvious,but I just really appreciate how weary it sounds. There's desperation,sadness,and hope all mixed into a vial,and her voice acts as the force softly swishing it around. I'm glad the album has a song like this on it because the rest are tinged with this flavor of bitterness,but instead,this is merely serene and calm. Using training wheels as a metaphor for keeping stagnantly safe in a relationship is also just really clever. Such a melody.
