    Had a 60+ year old man touch my ass as "a joke" the other night; I went home and cried. This album has been helping me come out of that slump. (It's not just about an old man touching my ass, but it also is. Something that "simple" can discourage the soul.) We deserve so much better ❤

      I hate when people say or do offensive/hurtful/inappropriate things and then claim that it’s a “joke”
      First of all, no one is laughing. Second, defending whatever bad thing you did as a joke is a mediocre excuse 🤦🏻‍♀️

      They were fans of her and her old aesthetic. They're not anymore. There's literally nothing wrong with that, and fans bashing other fans for just not being into this kind of style feel like they're putting themselves on a pedestal, or like they're superior.
      If you're a fan of someone that doesn't mean you preach to all songs of that person, and if someone has an image change, then fuck yeah, they're obviously going to have some previous people not listen to them anymore, while also getting new fans.

      That is so hard,
      There are people out there who will get you, as in understand and enjoy your company for who you are,
      We have a couple friends with autistic kids, and last year we found a school for my daughter that specializes in various.....learning differences, and she was so much happier than at the previous school. All the kids here a a little weird in their own way and it's totally normal and they all are so welcoming and get along so well.
      I hope pray and wish you the best getting thru this time of difficulty and that may you find "your people" and good friends sooner than later

    I'm indigenous myself and have lost many sisters to the grasp of disgusting men. This song makes me feel empowered, just to imagine letting all of those men drown in vengeance of our stolen sisters. Even in unfortunately regular cases of non-MMIW misogyny, it's still impactful. Women are expected to nurture and baby men, even if they abuse us. When we fight back, we are only seen as "monsters."

    LYRICS!
    [Chorus]
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which one's deserving to drown
    [Post-Chorus]
    (Drown, drown)
    (Drown, drown)
    [Verse 1]
    Engraved in our memory, the harm that was done
    Our mothers, the witches they banished and burned
    All of our sisters were killed and abused
    By sword-swinging men who would always accuse
    [Pre-Chorus]
    The worst of a woman who fights for our right
    To be where we belong at the front of the line
    Tired of silence and being politе
    Your legs turn to shimmering scales in thе night
    [Chorus]
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown
    [Post-Chorus]
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown, drown)
    [Verse 2]
    Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress
    Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess
    They steal the resources, destroy all the land
    Belittle the power of the feminine hand
    [Pre-Chorus]
    The milk from the rivers of every moon
    Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb
    Bury their souls in a cove by the light
    Celestial dip all that ego and pride
    [Chorus]
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    [Post-Chorus]
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown, drown)
    [Bridge]
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan
    So guillotine their heads by shouting
    Cut 'em off, leave waters red
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan
    So guillotine their heads by shouting
    Cut 'em off, leave water's red
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan (Drink from the leche of sirens)

    AND melanies first song,Cry baby has a line "You just let then drown" AND THAT MATCHES COMPLETLY
    the cry baby meaning is to let the people making fun of you drown in your tears and in this music it's to let the other peoples(manly the boys whit swords) to drown. It's completely the same but different people.

    as someone who is still recorvering from a physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive man, this really helped me. i feel really empowered listening to this. "all of our sisters were killed and abused by sword-swinging men who would always accuse the worst of a woman who fights for our right to be where we belong at the front of the line tired of silence and bring polite" i really relate to that. im a trans man, and even though that woman i used to be is dead, i will always remember our fallen sisters, who fought for their rights, who fought to be them, and treated right. all woman, trans or cis, short or tall, fat or skinny or inbetween those, all deserve to be treated fairly and not like garbage. woman are powerful and beautiful beings. and ladies, no matter what ANYONE says, you are beautiful, worthy, godesses, and you are NOT ugly, worthless, or trash. aphrodity had belly rolls! she is the godess of beauty and she had belly rolls! you are all beautiful, love yall♥️♥️♥️♥️

    Melanie is really spoiling us with this album! The other songs and now we have three more? Not to mention a movie coming out soon? Plus the massive lord drop this is all causing! They deserve way more credit than they’re getting for this! This must have been hard work, but it’s definitely paying off! I’m excited to see this album made into a film, it’s got so many fantasy elements and I need to know how this all fits into K-12!
    Edit: the movie isn’t going to be out soon because Melanie doesn’t have enough money to start filming yet, but there is a script.

    Being the survivor of so many toxic relationships and so much abuse this song echoes the woman I hold at bay. This song is such an outstanding proclamation of the exploitation of artists in the industry K-12 paints the picture of innocence lost and this song showcases the survival instinct of those who make it out of that horrible phase who are thrown away when they mature into the demons created. This to me tells the story of a girl who fell in love after with someone she thought was different who inevitably showed her to “strangle the thought of whose deservin” because continually being hurt seems to be the rhythm. 🎉 and ode to women to keep fighting.

    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which one's deserving to drown
    Engraved in our memory, the harm that was done
    Our mothers, the witches they banished and burned
    All of our sisters were killed and abused
    By sword-swinging men who would always accuse
    The worst of a woman who fights for our right
    To be where we belong at the front of the line
    Tired of silence and being polite
    Your legs turn to shimmering scales in the night
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown
    Let them drown
    Let them drown
    Let them drown
    Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress
    Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess
    They steal the resources, destroy all the land
    Belittle the power of the feminine hand
    The milk from the rivers of every moon
    Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb
    Bury their souls in a cove by the light
    Celestial dip all that ego and pride
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Let them drown
    Let them drown
    Let them drown
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan
    So guillotine their heads by shouting
    Cut 'em off, leave waters red
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan

    Cut 'em off, leave water's red

    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown, drown)
    Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress
    Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess
    They steal the resources, destroy all the land
    Belittle the power of the feminine hand
    The milk from the rivers of every moon
    Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb
    Bury their souls in a cove by the light
    Celestial dip all that ego and pride
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown, drown)
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan
    So guillotine their heads by shouting
    Cut 'em off, leave waters red
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan
    So guillotine their heads by shouting
    Cut 'em off, leave water's red
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan (Drink from the leche of sirens)
    So guillotine their heads by shouting
    Cut 'em off, leave water's red (Summon the sailors in town)
    Nothing wrong with a little havoc
    It's fun when shit hits the fan (Strangle the fear of deciding)
    So guillotine their heads by shouting

    LYRICS
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Drown, drown
    Drown, drown
    Engraved in our memory, the harm that was done
    Our mothers, the witches they banished and burned
    All of our sisters were killed and abused
    By sword-swinging men who would always accuse
    The worst of a woman who fights for our right
    To be where we belong at the front of the line
    Tired of silence and being polite
    Your legs turn to shimmering scales in the night
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown, drown)
    Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress
    Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess
    They steal the resources, destroy all the land
    Belittle the power of the feminine hand
    The milk from the rivers of every moon
    Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb
    Bury their souls in a cove by the light
    Celestial dip all that ego and pride
    Drink from the leche of sirens
    Summon the sailors in town
    Strangle the fear of deciding
    Which ones deserving to drown
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown)
    Let them drown (Drown, drown)
