Top Comments of this video!! :3
I love how the song has a double meaning, where either it represents her growing up and growing out of her blue hair and losing an energetic and outgoing side of herself, but can also be interpreted as her harming herself, her blue hair meaning her veins and she ācuts her blue hair offā, along with the faint badum sounds from her heart in the background
Edit : these are my interpretations, but you are free to make your own ideas and theoryās about how the song is portrayed, all interpretations are true because TV girl left it ambiguous on purpose to let people theorize

Every time I listen to this song, I interpret it from a dadās perspective, seeing his daughter grow up.
For example some of the lines such as:
āAnd I guess, Iāll just miss her. Even though she isnāt even really goneā This line sounds like she moved out, and started a life with that boy in the lyrics. But it also seems like he misses the old her.
āAnd I tried to hold her, but it didnāt really last long. And sheās getting older, so I guess sheās gotta cut her blue hair off.ā This especially sounds like the father struggled, but eventually came to accept the fact that his daughter is growing up and maturing, and no longer that little kid anymore.
I also think itās about him trying to keep their relationship alive. Despite the fact that sheās changed a lot. Not wanting to hang out or contact her dad anymore

A lot of people interpret this is being about s/h but I always felt like it was about growing up, and growing out of your more immature friends. āSheās getting older, I guess sheās gotta cut her blue hair offā blue hair is a bright unconventional colour, and itās young itās stupid, she cuts it off. Her hair is her immature friends. She has to cut them off to grow as a person. āI guess Iāll just miss her, even though she isnāt even really goneā, mourning someone who isnāt dead is weird but it happens a lot especially in school and college and university. You evolve a lot in those years and you sometimes grow out of your friends or people change and grow out of you, for better or worse, and this can lead you to mourn their dead self tat you were friends with, and theyāre alive just changed. This is from the perspective of the person being left behind I think, talking about how they miss this person who is still there, just not the same.

It seems like she used to be a popular blonde, but people started to dislike her, thats why she asked how to be funny. But she eventually dyed her hair blue to be different and developed a new personality, but in those peoples eyes she was still the same person, so she accepted that fate and instead of staying with her new persona, she cut her blue hair off and developed her blond hair back. But the friends she made with that persona still miss her, even though she's not gone, just different.

I like the shots of the blue wig. Implying that her blue hair is also a kind of costume. Maybe it really expressed who she was at some point, but it definitely doesn't anymore. So no matter how "beautiful" other people find her blue hair, she wants to get rid of it and move on to a more authentic phase of her life. And she seems to be doing better. Going from trying desperately to be funny and pretty, to finding a nice partner. We can even imagine that she actively chose to distance herself from the character singing the song. So much story in this brief song and video. Well done!

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She asked me how to be funny
But thatās not something you can teach
What seemed so blue in the sunlight
By the night was a pale green
[Chorus 1]
And I tried to hold her
But it didnāt really last long
And sheās getting older
I guess sheās gotta cut her blue hair off
[Verse 2]
She asked me if she was pretty
Well itās clear that the girlās a fraud
Thereās really no way of winning
If in their eyes youāll always be a dumb blonde
[Chorus 2]
And she cried over nothing
So there was nothing I could do to stop
Her from cutting
Her beautiful blue hair off
[Verse 3]
It looked like cotton candy
And just as quick to get licked away
Last I heard she was living
With a boy who acts his age
[Chorus 3]
And I guess Iāll just miss her
Even though she isnāt even really gone
But things are just different
Ever since she cut her blue hair off

self harm is a stretch, and the song means the person you used to know changed (she cut her blue hair off which symbolized maturity, and nothing lasting forever.)
she grew out of her insecurities, need for validation and attention, and finally cut her blue hair off. (even though she isnt really gone) you'll miss her because thats not the same person you used to know.

She asked me how to be funny
But that's not something you can teach
What seemed so blue in the sunlight
By the night was a pale green
And I tried to hold her
But it didn't really last long
And she's getting older
I guess she's gotta cut her blue hair off
She asked me if she was pretty
Well, it's clear that the girl's a fraud
There's really no way of winning
If in their eyes you'll always be a dumb blonde
And she cried over nothing
So there was nothing I could do to stop
Her from cutting
Her beautiful blue hair off
It looked like cotton candy
And just as quick to get licked away
Last I heard she was living
With a boy who acts his age
And I guess I'll just miss her
Even though she isn't even really gone
But things are just different
Ever since she cut her blue hair off
