melanie martinez rant
y’all wanna know what’s crazy to me?
the hate melanie martinez gets.
this woman is so talented, smart, and brave. she decided to share her gift of song writing and singing to the world and actually use it for good. she sings about real would topics. she talks about racism, sexism, homophobia, and any type of political ideology that’s wrong with the world.
one of her most important and impactful words was the song mrs potato head. melanie makes the strangest music videos but her songs have actual messages.
here's some of the lyrics.
“don't be dramatic it's only some plastic, no one will love you if you're unattractive.”
“oh mrs. potato head tell me, is true that pain is beauty? does a new face come with the warrantee?”
“will a pretty face make it better?”
“oh mr. potato head tell me, how did you afford her surgery? do you swear you'll stay forever even if her face don't stay together?”
the point of this one song is to point out to little girls that mrs. potato head ( the so called "wife") is changing herself with plastic surgery so that her "husband" will love her. because he doesn’t love her for who she is so she obviously needs surgery to look like his ideal match, right?
well the surgery goes horribly wrong he doesn't stay with her and he gets a new "wife" or a woman to manipulate.
the point is you shouldn't have to change who you are or how you look to be loved by others or to love yourself melanie shows this in a kinda graphic way in the music video.
she always presents her music videos in weird ways but the songs themselves are beautiful and true to the message.
like the song mad hatter.
it teaches kids that being your self is okay, so what if you’re crazy the best people are. be yourself she tells people that she sees them, she head them.
“so what if i’m crazy the best people are.”
it’s just crazy to me she gets so much hate when she’s such a beautiful person inside and out. she cares and you know she cares.
she deserves so much more recognition it’s insane.
