Top Comments of this video!! :3
i scrolled through at least 200 out of the 367 comments and didnāt see anyone mention this, which is so surprising to me? but maybe iām the only one whoās affected by it like this?
towards the end of the song you can hear poppy screaming, āhelp, help me, get me outā. itās almost completely overpowered by the music and pretty subtle but it completely changed this song for me. usually when i listen to music i have other things going on and donāt really ever just listen with headphones and chill, but i did that right now. iāve listened to her music for months on end and never once noticed the screaming, largely because iād have it playing on a speaker or something. i love it.

āi bite my cheeks cuz i donāt wanna talk, itās hard enough just to live with my thoughtsā favorite line from hysteria + something i relate to with what i have been going thru lately. this album holds a special place in my heart because itās the first album i listened to when i came back from the psych hospital. thank you poppy, i love you. your music is so healing and makes me feel less alone. thank you for everything that you do ā”

Presenting a song with lyrics made up entirely of breezy, blame-shifting "sorry babe, I didn't mean to, the chemical imballance in my brain made me behave like a d*ck" type excuses is hard-hitting genius. Made all the more powerful by the apparently harmless shoegaze psychodelia and "la la" chorus. If you ever wanted a musical depiction of a charmer gaslighting, this is it. What makes it stronger still is placing it immediately before "Her"- where the mask slips, the nasty comes out and the music mood drops to depressed alt-rock. And that song then explores the same traits from a different angle, viewpoint and voice. Interesting too that we get the simple pleasures of "On the Level" is placed before these two songs! It's also worth noting that this song (where the perpitrator gets a voice) is one third in- you could see Bloom as the response to Hysteria- and that song is two thirds of the way through, so there is a bit of the demon Poppy structure coming throught there. I think so far this album has been seriously underated by many- as usual with Poppy, it has an plenty to like upfront, but even more to unpick later.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting this album to have these kinds of sounds. Was expecting more I Disagree/EAT EP vibes, but I am NOT disappointed in this at all!!! Just goes to show she can give variety, and can do different genres/sounds. THE TALENT! šš½ I can't wait for the Flux tour! š¤ (whenever it comes back š„ŗ)

I've been paying more attention to the lyrics lately and realized that the song is written through the perspective of the abuser, not poppy, it's clear when in the song they say 'little girl with something to prove, must be what I like about you' referring to poppy. The abuser is gaslighting her saying 'i didn't mean to hurt you'.

She went from an android who felt nothing to a girl who feels everything.
