“I should be happy, but I can't get out of my bed” I can relate all too much

Every song of K-12 I listen to I'm like "okay this one's my favorite"

this song really hits different when you’re on the swings 💀

“Don’t let them hurt you” her songs have cured my self hate. She has no idea how much her songs help people. I appreciate her so much.

Like, I wanna listen to the other songs but I can't stop listening this one

This Is Probably The Most Calm Song In K-12, To Be Honest.

“But I can’t get out my bed” *I’m sure someone relates to this....*

Reminder 1 . Don't let them fuck you Reminder 2. Don't let them try Reminder 3. Don't let them hurt you Reminder 4. If you need a break someone will take your place Reminder 5. People are gonna tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes.

*welcome to the most underrated song of this album*

Mad Hatter: Who are you? Recess: I'm the exact opposite of you

This song is so calming in comparison to the other songs. I believe that’s why the song is titled, “Recess”. It’s a song that gives us a break from all the craziness and chaos in the rest of the album. The same way recess in elementary school gives children’s minds a break from the stress of school.

I swear, this girl is the most underrated singer EVER, her songs are godly. She needs to be noticed more! I literally had a whole Melanie Martinez phase that lasted 2 years. She has such a beautiful voice, she makes the best songs. Thank you Melanie

This song does not deserve to be the one with less views...

This sounds like something id hear in heaven with wooden swings and bushes and flowers

hey! you found the lyrics guy! I was too young to see the truth In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume Too naive to even care 'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair People gonna say If you need a break, someone'll take your place People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you, baby Just say, "Recess, I'm tired" Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done Everything I wanted has come to fruition I should be happy but I can't get out my bed Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head People gonna say If you need a break, someone'll take your place People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you, baby Just say "recess, " I'm tired Where is my time? Gone in my mind Gone, I can't find Euphoria When I get upset I think in my head "I do as she says" People gonna say If you need a break, someone'll take your place People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you, baby Just say "recess, " I'm tired

This song is so underrated 😢😢

I think Melanie is undervalued, she loves her fans like nobody else, and her songs are, literally, amazing.

Unpopular Opinion: This is the best song in K-12. Edit 7 months later: Alright yall are right, the whole album is underrated.

Most underrated song on k-12 💜💜💜

"I should be happy, but I can't get out of bed". I felt that...

Y’all deserve prison time for letting this beautiful track be the least popular

this song makes me want to be a better person, idk why

K-12 *releases* Everyone: let's get Crybaby on the billboard charts K-12: what about me?!

This song is so underrated

“I should be happy but I can’t get out of my bed” I relate

when she says "just remember" something happens to my heart

My therapist approves of Recess lmao Edit: thanks for the likes!

6/26/20 7:00pm, im currently listening to this song on my way to my graduation ceremony. i’ve made so many memories with my friends, teachers, family, etc. its been fun, but now i must move on. feeling thankful 💕

This really fits for a prom dance i mean the beat is so satisfying it makes u wanna dance slowlyy

Recess is an underrated bop. the message, lyrics, melody, music, all of it, it's just perfection. my fave from the album

Idk why, but Melanie's music makes me feel safe. Her voice is comforting and the messages behind her words are beautiful.

For some reason, this brings me such peace

melanie: sittin' in my room, looking at all i've done me: *doing my homework and trying to see how much i've done* yo hoLD UP-

When i showed my grandma this song she said “Melanie’s music is just like Minnie mouse saying the f word” couldn’t describe it better

Anyone still around?? ❤

"in my grandma's lap and drowning in her perfume" hit me hard, I miss her🥲 but two years later and I'm still listening to this song, it never gets old

This one has less views. Its underrated and I think it's the best. I mean the whole album is the best but like this one is more nice you know.

this one and wheels on the bus gives me a warm feeling inside me, such a bop.

all dislikes are from kelly and leo

My favorite song 🩷

"If you need a break, someone'll take your place." As a scholar, the pressure my parents put on me is insane, and what the fuck, this song just resonates with me so much.

k-12 is really the best album of the year. how can yall even chose ONE fav song? all of them are my favs :(

OH NO SHE DID NOT CHANGE THE THUMBNAIL TO RIP CRYBABY OMG

this track hits diff 🥺🤚🏼

by far the most underrated song on the album

Every class in school: Me: *"Recess,i'm tired."*

an era i will never forget.

This song is my therapy

dont tell me people are actually sleeping on this masterpiece.....

“Drowning in my grandmas perfume” Bro I really fell that

I fucking love this song😭😭😭

i want this to be the first song my child ever hears. its so powerful & an amazing message.

If this song slapped me, I would say thank you.

This song makes me feel nostalgic. Some parts of the lyrics make me feel like melanie is reflecting on her past. Like moving on to a new chapter in your life.

your music changed my vision of things and my life

If this girl somehow turns into an immortal alien I will be fine with it as long as she still makes music

As someone who struggles with depression and has to take a lot of mental health breaks to keep going, this song really resonated with me. Saying that it’s okay to take a break, to take a recess, is important 💕. The scene in the movie really resonated with me too. All of those students being forced to do something they didn’t want to do by being forced to dance. They all say they can’t keep going, that their legs are so tired. Feels a lot like when you’re burnt out and depressed but you have to keep going because that’s what society expects of you. Such a powerful message to say it’s okay to call for a break 👏🏻

“Drowning in my grandmas perfume” I felt that 😔

this is just next level music

In the ‘Wheels on the Bus’, there was a ‘Class Fight’ that’s so bad that ‘The Principal’ had to intervene. We missed the ‘Show & Tell’ and one had to go to the ‘Nurse’s Office’ because of this fight. Despite this, we were able to have our ‘Drama Club’ class; however I ate a ‘Strawberry Shortcake’, and the ‘Lunchbox Friends’ drank ‘Orange Juice’, leaving the three of us in ‘Detention’ because of that stupid and uptight ‘Teacher’s Pet’. We saw the ‘Highschool Sweethearts’ and we waited ‘till ‘Recess’ so we can go out of this classroom. Luckily, at least we went out of detention because of a ‘Fire Drill’.

Melanie: I don’t need autotune. *Autotune needs me*

i swear if this song doesn’t play at a high school dance- edit: I found the clean version kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYmvf4yIjrWknbs

This is calm song😴

I'm listening to this while slaying a cow in Minecraft

As someone who tries to lead with depression... wow

Why i listening to this music: 1. Its Melanie Martinez 2. Good song 3. Good song 4. Good song 5. Good song

*God this is such a good waltz song*

I broke the replay button

Have you ever started crying because someone's vocals were so pretty? That was me a few seconds into the song.

"People gonna try to tell your fine" I relate to much my mom laughed at me when I asked to be tested for depression

This whole song makes me think about how I saw one specific moment in different parts of my life. At the moment I was just a kid, I had gum tangled in my curls, I was crying, not understanding why things were good for my classmates and so bad for me (undiagnosed ADHD and Autism) wondering what did I ever do to deserve being hit and laughed at. My mom was taking the gum out with ice and a curly hair brush. Telling me to not let them mess with me, to not give them attention and just prove them that I’m better than their weird childish obsession with making me suffer. At 13 I realized that it wasn’t my fault, they were making fun of things I couldn’t change, I remembered that moment in a deja vu, I was sitting in the bathroom while my mom would help me take off all the leaves that got stuck in my hair when they threw me in a pile of leaves and dirt. She’d tell me to not let those stupid behaviors hurt me, because if I’m hurt, they win. If I cry, I’m giving them exactly what they wanted all along. If I hide, I make them more powerful than me. And that’s not what we want, right? At 16, now, I understand what that “we” means. A generational trauma caused by bullying and undiagnosed ADHD. My mom was bullied her whole life. And so did my grandma. And her mom. And the story just repeated itself for ages. I, shamefully, did the same thing to my younger cousins before I understood how this behavior can be toxic and harmful, making us force ourselves to be “stronger than our bullies” by not showing emotions and ignoring them and trying to convince ourselves that if we ask for help, they “win”. Telling them that they should prove themselves better than their bullies, all while doing the stupid tradition of taking stuff out of their hairs. I hope I’m being able to reverse that and break the chain of generational traumatized ADHDs

K-12 is so underated

Can someone explain to me how I am supposed to choose between the movie and the album?
