I really like the meaning of this VOID song. I'm afraid i won't live to see tomorrow as bloody as a corpse has come to me. The empty room kept repeating in my head, away from a dark place where you leave your own thoughts to see the inner body to find the light within yourself, I look at myself and my feelings in the dark where no one but you criticizes you, the way society pushes unrealistic standards on people that you should overcome your insecurities. Tell me is this hell. Melanie's voice is perfect in my head like a cathedral above all wonderful VOID 😭 💗 💖
Well said, thank you!😊👍
I’m 37 years old and last week I took my 13 year old daughter to her concert for her 8th grade promotion gift and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. And I’ve been to a lot of concerts. It’s was a beautiful masterpiece.
you’re a great parent.
can you adopt me? (joke)
I'm sure your daughter will remember that concert for the rest of her life. She's very lucky to have you 🥺💗 Best wishes for your family
Likewise I'm 38 lol
Omg i love u ur a good mother 💋💋
Somebody theorized that the hole where the light comes from in the beginning of the video is a reference to the DEATH music video, where her chest is cut and the heart is out in the open. I also think her appearing in as herself without the prosthetics also once again confirms that she is still Crybaby in the heart, it’s just her vessel that has changed. Love her creativity. She designed her outfit in this video, directed the video and as you know she both produced & written the song itself on her own. CRAZYYY 🙏🏻🔥
Incredible! Thank you😊
Was just about to comment about the theory of the hole at the beginning being a reference to the death MV lol it’s literally what I thought of when I first watched the music video and thought it was so cool how she did that. Her creativity is just boundless ❤
yess it makes sense, the heart being out of her body references her whole brand ("little body big heart") and the lyrics off the title song on cry baby "your heart’s too big for your body, thats why you wont fit inside”
She also came outta the heart like she did in DEATH, and at the end she went underground and here she comes out of the ground
Melanie explained that the void is pretty much that state where you're stuck and alone with your own thoughts, so I really enjoyed the way that the creatures that chases after her and stares down at her, is literally a replica of Crybaby, because her own thoughts and her own self is what kept her stuck in the void and she knew she needed to escape
Very nice, thank you!😊👍
I relate to the song
1. This is a special song for her as she produced it herself.
2. No, not all of her songs are based on personal experience, but many (she had a different childhood than her character). She writes many songs as a therapy for herself to speak out and let go of a problem, along the way helping other people who are facing similar or different problems. According to her, this is one of the goals of her work (information from an interview)
3. She does not consider herself a part of any religion (information from the interview)
4. Information about the meanings (for her, of course) in the songs of this album can be found in her instagram in the portals section.
Wow, this is great! Thanks for all of the insight! We should have you on a Melanie Martinez podcast😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial thank you for showing attention and interest in this artist and for talking about the importance of mental health in general.
The religion while he’s being true but she was raised on a typical catholic Latin family
Thanks! ❣️
I had her dad on instagram years ago and he is an evangelical Christian but it looks she is in a path of herself.
Melanie wrote that VOID has a double meaning. She wrote it meaning for it to symbolize anxiety and overthinking and perfectionism and being trapped in your head. But also in life regression therapy there’s a common phenomenon where people get trapped in a “void” where they’re trapped with only themselves and their self hatred and judgement and the only way to escape is to come to peace with yourself. One of her other songs LIGHT SHOWER is about love and also another common experience in life regression therapy where you just feel cleansed of all worldly troubles and you’re set free.
Thank you! I swear no one is seeing past live hypnotherapy she was talking about in these songs. Especially Death!
I love how you described her dancing as like trying to get comfortable in her own skin. That’s spot on.
It's so funny seeing him get all excited when melanies music starts playing
"Tangled in my own intestines". You know how anxiety usually can surface in physical symptoms to be felt in the stomach area, and people usually refer to it as butterflies in the stomach? It just hit me that she may be very well be referring to physical symptoms of anxiety. When she struggles to get the intestines off of her, may represent her trying to overcome her anxiety. It's brilliant.
Something i think is really interesting is I saw someone say that the slight lisp she has on 'fickle insecurities' could be a nod towards her teeth, its such a small detail and i think it really adds something to the song
I could see that, little things that bother us, good point 😊
Melanie's family actually has a tradition where everyones future job is to be a musician or poet.
The last clip looks like the exact imagery of the tower card if you’re into tarot at all. Things fall apart to come together.
omg ur so right!!' i love it
I didn’t realize that!! Yeah you’re absolutely right!!!
That makes sense, as there was a scene in the death mv that looks like the 10 of swords
Oh my god??? YES
youre such an amazing person, i wish more people would've understood mental health like you do. your account makes me feel so happy tbh, sending love
So nice of you! Thank you so much😊❤️
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial youre welcome🫶🫶🫶
Feel like i have said this everywhere.. but anyway.. A few things I noticed... She is crawling out of the heart seen in Cry Baby's chest in the "Death" music video. Her hair is styled like it was in her song "High School Sweethearts," and during all lightning flashes, it shows her internal organs and ribcage
So cool! Thanks😊
Melanie said previously that one of the albums that influenced them was Electra Heart by Marina,which is also an concept album,and it's one one of the best albuns ever so maybe you can listen to the album some day
I think we did a marina song! Maybe primadonna? So cool, thanks for the suggestion 😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial YEAH OMG I 100% RECOMMEND YOU TO LISTEN TO MORE FROM MARINA PLEASEEEE (or at least Electra Heart). There's so much to analyze and i think you'd LOVE it
I saw a great interview with Melanie in full creature garb. She explains what it means. This one is about her anxiety. I love how Death is about the afterlife and how we all continue to exist. Our body is just a vessel. I read every word and can relate completely.
This guy casually says sentences that literally blow my mind and bring so much perspective, wisdom and healing to me! (Literally just his reactions are already free therapy 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️) Wow, thank you so much for your reactions and you are such a wonderful person!!!
I dont know if you've been told yet, but it's all supposed to be a trilogy of crybaby's lifes. In k-12 when the woman comes out from the portal and states that she is immortal and must experience life to learn which means from the first album not every character she portrays is the same person their each different vessels that shes learned something from after dying. Then also I remember you were taken away from certain experiences wondering if they were real. She said in a interview that what crybaby goes through is a depiction of what shes been through and some are just from her artistry and understanding. Love the videos so muchhhhh!!!
I really resonated with this song when I first heard it because it feels like that moment when I’ve started to come out of a depressive episode enough to see all of the important things I’ve neglected during that time and how much that neglect has cost me both in financial expense and just lack of relationships that died because I wasn’t doing the upkeep, that sort of thing.
Not sure if you noticed but the opening at the top of the ceiling when they come out of the heart? Notice that in DEATH, that’s the exact shape of Melanie’s wound. Right on the chest, exposing where the heart would be. When they escape at the end of this MV, it’s safe to assume this is the point when they begin to emerge from Mel’s previous “vessel”
The void is described in past life regression therapy as a dark void were you have to find the light in yourself to escape the void, this and the void is a dark messy place with all of your deepest fears and darkest thoughts.
😊👍
Thank you for mentioning this. Such a strong point on void and Death
What Melanie says about Void:
VOID
“This is the first song I fully produced on my own, also in
the portal room. The first thing I put down was that bass
guitar top line. It was an exact melody from a voice memo
I had recorded a few days prior. The chorus melody and
lyric came all at once just from looping the bass line. I put
down a simple programmed drum loop that was later
replaced/mixed in with live drums by Rhys Hastings. I
remember screaming that chorus while crying, it felt like a
weight I needed to get off of me. The weight of my
anxiety, the weight of my brain, and it perfectly fit the
second stage. A void. A dark place where you are left
alone with your own thoughts for introspection, in order to
find the light within yourself.”
I love watching these reaction videos cause as someone who's first language isn't English and has a bit of trouble making sense of the lyrics, it's always interesting to have a more profound understanding on Melanie's songs. It really changes the way you listen to it or view it.
5:16 The hole at the top is not freedom, its the stab wound on crybabies body during the DEATH mv, it represents "littlebodybigheart"
I'm so glad that I came across your channel! I'm a huge Melanie Martinez fan and will always be. Her music and music videos have gotten me through some tough times. Being a recovering addict and being on the methadone program has been a very long journey. I've been on the program for about 20 years, it feels like alot longer though. Still trying to find myself and where I truly belong on this beautiful and ugly planet we call Earth. I know that I have so much talent, I'm an artist, I love singing, music and art are my true passion in life. Just coming across your channel has been a blessing to me. I've relapsed many times over the years, it aint easy, but if you set your mind to what you truly want to accomplish in life, you can do it! I have always wanted to open an art therapy studio someday. I always wanted to try and help and listen to anyone who needs help. I love it so much how you break down each piece of music you raect to. It really helps to clarify some things that I may not understand. Thank you so much for all that you do, and keep up the amazing work!
Did y’all notice that the eye chasing her was the same color as her own?
Nope 😳
2:47 !!! OMG is the exact same reaction I had😭😭
The symbolism of her slicing off the snakes head and flowers coming out is so powerful! It’s like she says in the line: “collect my fickle insecurities and turn them into beauty” so she literally gets rid of her insecurities (by killing the giant snake) and turn them into something beautiful (the flowers coming out of the snake)
I think they’re worms because they’re wiggling their way into her subconscious (the room she walks into) like parasites. They slither into the room from the hole behind her.
😊❤
It's a worm👍
it’s a penis. it’s castration.
it’s a penis. she’s taking her power back from the patriarchy.
What im thinking is, the light at the top is the hole in melanies chest in the first 'Death' music video. Because it leads right to her heart and the hole is the exact same shape. Meaning that void could literally be taking place inside crybabys body. Which would be amazinggg
id love to see you and melanie chat i think that would be really interesting! hopefully one day thats something you’ll get the opportunity to do
I really hope so!!😊
just some things that will help u understand: u see alot of butterflies in this mv because the butterfly represents growth and transformation. also u will notice that when she says "my fickle insecurities" she says it with a lisp representing her tooth gap. love ur content sm and love how enthusiastic you are 💕
Void Is My Favourite Songs Like Your Being Trapped In A Dark Place And You Need To Find The Light Within To Escape but Darkness Chasses You As A Subutage And Can't Continue The Path But You Ignored It And Just Continue The Path To Escape But There Are Many Challenges Before You Can Escape And After You Finished The Challenges In Your Life You Escape And Rose From The Darkness And You Found The Light To Escape❤❤🎉 I Love Melanie Sm
Thank you😊
I can't describe how happy I am that I decided to watch this I love how much effort you put in your reactions I could listen to you for hours. I learned a lot and I saw this beautiful music in a diffrent way and it made all of this even better. Thank you!
you're so nice and the way you see Melanie is beautiful it really means you feel her suffering and see it and it kinda feels like you do the same to me 'cause I really feel my experiences similar to the ones that Crybaby/Melanie experienced and yeah it's healing to hear you and i'm actually watchin your videos from all day so! you're really a great guy it really does pop your kindness and empathy from your eyes i'ts so nice to see! and i'm just grateful that people like you exist
you sound like a proud dad. I love it
Love this comment! I am actually a proud dad😊 and I love hearing Melanie find herself through all of this music👍 thanks for watching!
In void she's like saying that she hates her past self ahe evoluted in a better person something beautiful she also talks about her past in the music industry
Loved this reaction. This song reminded me that in order to get out of the judgmental mindset that you have for yourself, you need to start loving your insecurities or you’re not going to be able to make a change. “Collect my fickle insecurities and turn them into beauty”
Fun fact: The hair she has in the beginning of the video, when she was in the heart, was the one she wore when k-12 ended (I think)
So to clear it up for you and maybe some other people, crybaby died when she went through a portal at the end of the movie, "k-12" and theres many theories on how she died aswell as the song "DEATH" but the album and soon to be movie "PORTALS" is about how crybabies body died but her soul moved on. in the movie k-12, a faerie (lillith) mentioned how she has had many bodies and lifes and will continue to have more! hope this cleared things up
Wow, you're fast! I'd love to see you react to all of Melanie Martinez's music videos from her first album, Crybaby! :)
That’s what we are doing!!! Yay! Going back to crybaby. Patreon subscribers get first access to all of it and k-12 movie, but everything eventually gets to CZcams😊
YESS!
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial awesome, I can’t wait!
Dang missed this one my boy. Check out her unreleased version of void and death holy moly
The light at the top of the dark “cave” in the video, that’s the hole in crybaby’s chest from the death music video.
This dude said "her movements, shes trying to get comfortable in her own skin!!" Wow I'm blown away yes!!!"
Just found your channel! You speak so calmly and openly I love it new sub!
Thanks so much for joining us😊👍
I noticed the reason shes jerking around when she lands on her knees at 13:56 is because shes landing on a bunch of metal spikes 😱
Hey reaction therapy! i love your videos and im so glad you found melanies new music video! the premiere gave me so many goosebumps.
😊👍
In the bug scene all the bugs are her insecurities and when she cuts the worm, it turns into beautiful flowers, so she's basically turning all her insecurities into beauty and letting them go.
Lyrics in that scene "C c c collect, my fickle insecurities... and turn them into beauty, alchemize the dark within me"
i wish u were my therapist, i have tried so many times to find the perfect therapist for me and wasjudged by them all. your videos alone help me out.
OMG! You are so fast I love it! This song is so meaningful!!
Thabks summer😊
I love Melanie because i use her music to express myself, as an autistic person understanding my emotions and feelings is difficult. Her music has been crucial to understanding myself and my feelings!
I love how stoked you get watching her music!
6:20 its not rejected by society, she says "theres rotten thing left in me, injected by society"
I barely discovered your channel and really love the way you analyze not only the music, but how you analyze videos as well. If I could throw a suggestion out there (and if you haven’t already done a reaction), I would love to see your perspective on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica. It’s an album focused on overcoming trauma and healing through dance music. I would love to hear your perspective on what it means.
In void music video she is basically in crybabys body inside and she was also in crybabys heart inside 💔 🎶
Melanie Martinez is one of my favorite people on this earth
12:01, not him pausing at the same moment as the thumbnail perfectly 😭
Ur videos along with thought processes really are truly inspiring. Its like having an actual therapist listening and hearing your thoughts on the music you react to. Keep up the amazing content ❤❤❤
I wonder if she did Shrooms when she wrote the song because VOID has a personal value to me because she describe to a perfect T exactly what I experienced when I was on Shrooms when I had an Ego Death and was talking to what I called God when I was frying.
I do wanna know why you did blur it at one part tho
Hi! I just finished watching your K-12 series. I loved it. I love your opinions and views on the music video and movie. I was just wondering, could you maybe try making a video reacting to her after-school ep? Its my favorite album/ep of hers. My favorite song of hers is "Numbers"! Thank you for making these videos! You gained a new subscriber!
Void is about self reflection, crybaby is stuck in her body. Melanie said void is about being in her mind and nobody is there to judge you just your harshest critic,yourself
This video makes me think of having a bad nightmare where you wake up into this creepy Hell that you're trying to get out of - and in dreams, you can't control how you look and what you do in it --- that would be a horrifying dream to try to recover from when ya wake up. 😨😳
She was stuck in her own heart you know that death mv? She had a wound between her yk what, and that hole was so the nymph could crawl out of her body but she was in the void for a little bit and then she escaped into "death"
Fun fact Melanie Martinez went through a hard time before cause she had a eating disorder (that’s why she was rlly skinny before) and so she actually wrote this song all by herself and it’s showing what she went through at that time
The portals album is mostly comforting and giving hope. it really helped me out in tough times and it comforted me a lot, it made me feel not alone and it inspired me to keep fighting until i can do it. I think the Portals album is really good to recommend to mentally unstable people because it really shows them that they're not alone and it gives them hope that they can escape that void.
thanks for reacting to this great peace of work. its great work and melanie martinez songs helped me often to some taff times.
I'M RLLY HAPPY BC I WAS AT THE COUNT DOWN AND LIVE CHAT EEEEEEEEEEEK
Her insecurities were like.. those worms and bugs.. they looked very nasty and disgusting, and then she turned them into beauty by cutting the worm in half like she said in the song! So cool! And very deep!
The creature is a nymph and it is the reincarnation of crybaby. In the film k-12, the mysterious lady who saved crybaby and Angelita from the nurses said that their human form is only a temporary vessel. 😵💫
I'm excited for the Portals movie 😳
Me too!!😊
WAITTTT PLS TELL ME UR NOT JOKING
FUNFACT,Death and void and all the other portals songs are related to k12,Meaning crybaby has died and is now about to be reincarnated!!! ❤
😊👍 thanks!
This is so nice, I love her and I love her respectful he is like some would be creeped out ❤
In concert it was awesome
The void is meant to resemble her being stuck in her head and in her thoughts
there was a rumour going around that Crybaby (Melanie) and her best friend from K-12, Angelita, were reborn as the same being, since in the film, they say "what if we were conjoined twins?" (while talking about their past lives and their relations) and the why the Creature has four eyes, but this turned out to be false since Angelita died in the process of being reborn (I think). Also the Creature's new name might be Katarina since in "Field Trip" Melanie sings "Katarina in the womb for nine months till she birthed me."
and at the end of the film, she did go through a portal with a bunch of her friends that Lilith, her empath/spirit guide opened!
Groossss, im never gonna get used to her getting outta the heart lol, the sounds, bleh, it's like me when im hearing balloons rub against each other like that one scene in inside out
if you notice
her hair is kinda gray
and generally her hair is separated in black and white or black and a pastel collor
so is kinda shows she matured and don't have one box line of think or is becoming more and more her self
The album crybaby is the birth of her character crybaby. K-12 is crybabies life during school and portals is her killing off crybaby and coming back in a new vessel to finally bring immortality into and through her new vessel. And I hope you listen and react to the rest of the crybaby album
I’m k 12 her and Angelita talked about being recreated and when Melanie was reborn her and Angelita became one and that’s why she has 4 eyes ❤
WHEN ARE THE TUNNEL VISION AND FAERIE SOIRÉE MV REACTIONS COMING??
I cant wait for the next mv i hope tunnel vision is next vs
I love how his reaction ❤❤❤
And it's also kinda like a cycle of life like she starts as being born then she got to school then she graduated school and then here comes the death 💀 just like our life were born we go to school we graduate 🎓 then we die
Voide has two meanings
Anxiety and suicide
I discovered your chanel a few days ago, and you have really relevant things to say, I can't wait for you to watch the rest of the CryBaby album! +1sub😊
Thanks so much Mindy! Appreciate you😊❤️
I feel like an interesting song for you to break down would be "Hansel" by Sodikken
This is awesome!
This is my first time looking at this reaction, and I have to say that in the beginning where she was in the heart it’s a thing from her crybaby song lyrics
‘your heart too big for your body, so that’s why you won’t fit inside’
I may be wrong so correct me !:)
She took "Your hearts to big for your body" seriously huh💀💀
I'm late to the new music party, but as someome who was ignorant on mental health growing up - coming from a family of immigrants from a communist country, just being told you were "soft" and had no reason to complain or feel negative- I was diagnosed with severe depression and PTSD (losing a parent, and as a result a family business, having to sell my childhood home that was a part of my retirement plan, and a divorce all in a 3 year time span) - this song reasonates so much on how addictive isolation can become as well.
The better half of this past year has been spent in my room hiding from judgemental family and suffered friendships. And its now a new struggle to overcome this habbit and live again
Honestly, this song best represents how I feel 😢 thanks for speaking on it !
Thanks for the comments and for sharing! Really appreciate you watching😊👍
so excited
I feel like she says "why hate who i was before"
I love your reactions 💜💜💜
Thank you 😊
I love you lol. You get it. You feel it. She’s genius. Love Melanie
You missed the part when she shot herself in the head... and those butterflies/moths flew out of her. At the end when she jumped out of the void, you see those insects flying away. Maybe her bodied stayed but she's now traveling in a different form/creature. IDK maybe it's me trying to make something out of nothing. What do you think?
I didn’t see the shot thing, but I do feel like she was jumping out of the dark place and into a more hopeful life. But…I’m a newbie to Melanie music, so you know more than me😊 thanks for watching and commenting👍
i loooooove your Melanie Reacts
I think the part where she is getting chased by her clones are just all her problems that she is dealing with and she is trying to run away from them
Very cool! Thanks😊
i heard a really cool theory but every music video could be her being reborn because in death and void she was reborn in a different way!
💗💗💗
6:53 why is the video blurred?
CZcams copyright, frustrating, but unblurred video is on Patreon 😊👍
