Y'all don't need to find it offensive. She's just telling us to treat her like human. The way you see life is different the way she sees it. If you think becoming a celebrity is like great or whatever, remember that she can't help that when you produce art that get appreciated by many that make someone a "celebrity " doesn't mean she have to give her privacy. Just dont act like a stan. Appreciate and respect.

This is hands down the best song of the album... Well... this and Highschool sweethearts, detention, wheels on the bus, orange juice, and all the rest of it.

notice how in the end the doll breaks and they see that she is human they don’t want it. this symbolizes how in the music industry when an artist makes it big then breaks(shows that they are human and do human things like having break downs) people suddenly don’t want to even be associated with them, we’ve seen it happen so many times. Britney, Demi, Madonna

4 years later, still one of the best fucking songs on earth.

When the kids go "Ew." After seeing her on the floor, I feel like it's a metaphor saying now that everyone sees how she truly feels, they want nothing to do with her and will throw her out like a banana peel. This song has a good message behind it, but not everyone will understand.

Melanie is basically telling everyone that she’s just like everyone else. Just because she’s famous doesn’t mean she’s not human. Respect her too.

"art don't sell." that's why she makes k-12 free

I love how Melanie’s music always has a deeper meaning when you listen to the lyrics in the songs

“Imperfect and human are we” - Melanie Martinez, 2019

This song means so much fans forget that celebrity’s are still humans nowadays smh

I think the teacher represents the music industry and the students are her fans.

Even though this song is about people treating their favorite idols like shit and not caring about how they feel, I can still relate to this song. I’ve always felt like I was treated in the terrible way were people had never even cared about how I felt in a situation and that I was just a toy for them to throw around and anytime I just wanted to express myself and my feelings, they wouldn’t give a fuck. So, thank you for making a masterpiece and remember that we are all human beings and deserve to be loved even if we made mistakes that could destroy our lives.

Melanie is being brutally real in this song. She shows us how she feels like she’s constantly put on display. Many celebrities are constantly judged and this is her showing that she feels like she’s being constantly watched and she can’t display who she really is. This is especially showed at the end of the video where the puppet’s guts are showing and suddenly everyone is disgusted by it and leaves it. They are all disgusted by what’s inside. Her being a puppet controlled by a teacher represents how society controls her and expects her to be someone who won’t make any mistakes.

The way her dress moves as she is dancing is satisfying to me..

“there are strangers taking pictures of me when i ask no more. it’s really hard for me to say just how i feel. i’m scared that i’ll get thrown away like a banana peel” those lines just made me feel how much pressure is put on her to be this perfect girl in this “society” of a music business when she’s being watched or “displayed”. this applies to most other singers as well.

‘Harsh words if you don’t get a pic with me’ every singer knows.

Me: will i finally go to sleep today? Melanie: *well yes but actually no*

This teacher looks like your school nightmare. The actress did really good job.

It’s sad knowing this song is about how her fans have treated her.

The students truly terrify me.

Me: *attempts to dance like Melanie* People passing by my window: "hello 911..."

*i’ve never seen kids so excited for show and tell wtf*

These lyrics are really sad, it just shows how messed up the entertainment industry is. It’s not just the people who work in it but the fans too. Saying that she feels like she’s being sold to society or that art doesn’t sell unless you’ve slept with everyone that has authority is just plain sad. Thank you Melanie for shedding light on such a topic and putting it in such a good song!

2:19 the "aaa fuckers to see" in the background sounds so calming idk how to explain it

melanie: *makes this song to spread a message to her fans* her fans; eNtErTaInMeNt

This song is permanently playing in my head over and over and I’m not even mad.

I love how this talks about the dehumanizing of celebrities. I love even more how she talks about such topics too! *I love her so much*

This song reminds me of chappell roan and what she’s standing up for now

One thing I like about mel’s songs is that she doesn’t sing about meaningless shit like cars and money, she sings about life and real experiences.

I think this song is about how people treat Melanie like just a form of entertainment and not a living thing with passion and a personality, the way people forget she has boundaries and takes pictures without her permission. How people look at her like an object and how she feels trapped in performing on stage and people just looking at her with no care in the world.

She has so many fans but not many people really understand her, she wants people to know her before they judge her

melanie martinez, you're redefining what it means to create content

she describes the whole music industry

Me: *Maybe I should be responsible and go to sleep early tonight.* Mel: *stop trying.*

Melanie: **dances perfectly** Me: **looks possessed**

Can we take a minute to admire how BEAUTIFUL Melanie is?!?!?

no one wanna talk about how pissed she was with her “fans” when she wrote this album, and i think that’s a very important discussion. fix ur shit and treat her like a human 💅🏻

No one: Literally no one: Me: *Still searching the dance practice*

Me:I'm so sick I need to slee- Melanie:*breathes* Me:*stays up*

2:16 that “show and tell” is amazing

*"Show and tell" is the lost brother of "Dollhouse"*

Melanie Martinez: Makes this song to show people the pressure she’s under Her Fans: *WHERE’S MY TOUR* Melanie: *Lord please help me*

the teacher-the industry the doll-artist the classmates-fans,haters,everyone (Thanks monarch)

Instead of being scared of the teacher IM MORE SCARED OF THE STUDENTS AND THE BOY IN FRONT-

Dear Melanie, Coming from your fans we are all sorry if we ever made you uncomfortable. We love all your music and you are truly an amazing songwriter, singer and director - from all your fans

she’s amazing i can’t get over it

Bit of an analyzations here: So the song itself is a message to her fans who dehumanize her and who she is. She is viewed as if she is a mere object to show around and both her passion for music is tossed around and ignored. There's a reference here as well I believe to something that happened with her. Where some fans took a photo without her permission or anything and she had politely asked them not to afterwards and acknowledged how rude it was. Instead several people began to misinterpret the situation and call her a rude person who doesn't appreciate her fans. This goes with the song considering its all about people judging her harshly without context and treated as if she isn't even real. And with all of this at the same time she struggles to show herself as shown by the end of the video where the doll of her is tossed to show it's internal organs. This can be seen as a representation of her of course being toyed with to the point she falls apart and her weaknesses are shown off like the organs where everyone had walked off after the weakness was expressed. I can go on for a lyrical analysis and I might soon. I just adore this song and this album so yeah. Hope this helped with your interpretations~

one of my favorite songs

melanie: releases k-12 movie on youtube, free to watch also melanie: releases audio version of each track on youtube melanie, once again: releases the music video for each track the fan service. *we don't deserve her!!!* 😭💘

Me: im so sick i need to slee- Melanie: **breathes** Me: **stays up**

Me: **practice show and tell choreography** My Mother : *Preparing Exorcism*

If Melanie had a Grammy everytime i listen to her songs, she would say "no thanks" to Grammy giver

To those people saying “she’s a celebrity and should expect this” literally please stop that. Melanie is a human, her work and art happened to become extremely popular to millions of people and because of that it doesn’t give us as fans the right to judge every little thing she does and forget that she has a life and feelings. Everyone demanded for this album so harshly and rudely and people even said they wouldn’t listen to her music anymore because of it. She has a life thag should be respected, thus represented in the video. At the end when as a doll she’s tossed to the floor, literally the kids go “ew” and walk away. And during the music video it was very repetitive and she was doing the same dance moves to show that it’s a cycle of overwhelming stress for Melanie. So yes she’s a celebrity but that doesn’t mean she’s not human. Melanie is a gem of society.

Teacher: Who's your favourite singer? Me: Melanie Martinez Teacher: Who's your favourite actor/actress? Me: Melanie Martinez Teacher: Who's your favourite director? Me: Melanie Martinez Teacher: Someone other than Melanie Martinez? Me: Crybaby Teacher: Who's Crybaby? Me: Melanie Martinez

no one: not even a soul: melanie: being perfect

(If you listen closely). You can hear a male voice within hers. I think she adds that to give the song a bit more like depth (idk if that’s the right word) to the song. I love it!

is it just me or am i satisfied when she says “banana peel”

My dad says cuss words do not need to be in songs, unless they are to get the word across. I think this is the perfect example, she’s hurt but the song doesn’t show that with how kind of upbeat it is, the cuss words make you take her seriously, showing she’s upset she’s hurt, and that’s why I love Melanie!

This song is about how fans treat their idol like nothing for people who didnt understand

1:52 GURL CHILL

*Me:* Time to go sleep I have school to- *Melanie Martinez:* Oh no you are not!!!

Dollhouse: who are u? Show and Tell: I’m you but stronger

This song is basically how her fans treat her like she is nothing

I just LOVE Melanies dress 😭 its so prettyy

WAIT I WASN’T EXPECTING SUCH A THING

The RIP Crybaby on every thumbnail is so surreal. RIP Crybaby. End of an era.

When shes says "there are strangers takin pictures when I asked no more" yall i felt that so many people have done that and then they say shes "rude to her fans" like no boo shes being respectful unlike you

Show and tell is the song where I realized that I love her music

Melanie Martinez is sooo underrated. SHES A QUEEN

we are truly sorry if we made you feel in uncomforable or hurt in anyway we didnt mean to u are amazing we do not expect u to be perfect at all we respect you,please forgive us if we have put you in hard time. -from ur fans. these and more | v thx for who liked u helped not make me look stupid

I like this song, though I am almost certain it’s about her fans.

I love how this puts it in perspective how people treat celebrities like they are toys and objects, but they are still human in the end and deserve the same respect❤

It's fucking crazy that it's been a year already

Melanie has a unique kind of beauty. It's like she doesn't really fit beauty standards but you just feel comfortable with her face and body. I love her sm.

When you're too early and there ain't juicy comments yet

Cry baby: my album was so successful K-12: I'm about to end this man career

Doll house: who are you? Show and tell: I’m you but more badass

Melanie: "Show and tell" Me: "School is hell"

I love how she potrays the toxic fans as acting like children

I hope she does this with all the songs in the movie. I loved watching the singing and dancing

Doll: **Moves** The whole class: **Aggressively hit the table//**

Me: already watched the film and have seen this scene more than once Also me: clicking on the video to watch and be amazed all over again

The way the classmates are never normal and looking like a psycho

I never understood how some fans believe the celebrity "owes" them their time ALL THE TIME. As a celebrity you can't even take a shit without someone else making a stink about it. It's like "celebrities aren't human. They're not supposed to do that. Just sing, act, and pose for us". SMH

Honestly Melanie is such a *dad* making the movie free for everyone, We stan alwaysssss Before reminding me Melanie doesn't like being called a queen please read the second reply, thanks

Melanie is basically saying that she doesn’t want people taking pictures and that she’s just like everybody else

No one; Me: *_Where's her drinking mother, cheating father and weed brother?_*

Me: *Practices the show and tell choreo* Sister: “Oh no Not again..” *walks out..*

when they said “ew gross” i really felt that

“Buy and sell, like I’m a product to society”

I feel like this is how melanie sometimes think of her inconsiderate fans and she being a star, remember the time her purse got stolen and people just didn't care and still saying irrelevant stuff ? Public ignores and dehumanized celebrities and treat them terribly and give them extremely high standards …

This means that she is sick of being controlled by fans cuz She said “I’m just you your like me”and other.

Melanie:💃💃💃🕺🕺✨️✨️ The Students:👺👺👺👺👺👹👹👹👹👹👹👹

Everyones personalizing the song for themselves while Melanie is just pouring her heart out :)

When she said “Why can’t you fucking hear me?!” it sounded like she was about to cry, and honestly that’s a mood *queen*

maybe its how She feels for fans being inappropriate , calling her " my child , my mum , sit on me " etc ..and mostly treating her like she their little doll to watch 😓

Kelly:“Put me down you freak!” Mel: gladly *drops Kelly*

The “WHY CANT YOU FUCKING HEAR ME” kinda broke my heart cause the song is about her being crowded of all her fans and basically overwhelmed with everything. In the song, she sings “ strangers taking pictures when I ask no more!” and “ like I’m a product to society”, or “ it’s really hard for me to say just how I feel.. I’m scared that I’ll get thrown away like a banana peel”. This is pretty messed up because she doesn’t want to upset anyone or do anything wrong and if she does she scared she will be canceled. And that’s why it just broke my heart hearing her say that because people are ignoring her and the way she feels and you can just tell by hearing the pain in her voice 😔💔

The teacher=music industry The students=melanie’s fans Perfect metaphor

wonder how they’re gonna do Class Fight with all the pauses in the music
