It's probably the reason that we get along So what if I'm crazy? All the best people areĪnd I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone So what if I'm crazy? The best people are This song is really inspirational for people suffering mental illness but can inspire anyone to be themselves.Each shade from a different persons' head

Don't pretend to be.Īll in all, this song is about Cry Baby accepting her craziness. You don't know what goes on in my head, the struggles that go on every single day. This is a great song to make people with mental illness feel understood but it's not fun when someone pretend to be crazy when they're not. Please don't do this, you don't know how crushing it is to witness people singing along to music with lyrics like this, being like "yeah, I'm crazy" when there's nothing wrong with their brains but there is with mine. Sadly, since Melanie Martinez is part of the mainstream, many people will listen to the song and pretend to be crazy or insane when they're really not. A few characters can actually be linked to certain disorders, such as the Mad Hatter, while not stated, clearly suffers from Bipolar Disorder. In the world of Alice In Wonderland everything and everyone is crazy, and Alice herself is just hallucinating the whole thing. Even the part where Melanie sings, "So what if I'm crazy, all the best people are," is a part of Alice In Wonderland that may not be as well remembered, where the Mad Hatter apologizes in a way for being crazy and Alice tells him that that's alright, saying "all the best people are". It's hard to think about mental illness as a good thing when it separates you from others, but it really helps to listen to this song telling me it's okay to be different, even if others think I'm crazy.Īlso this song references Alice In Wonderland with the "blue Caterpillar", "skinny dip in rabbit holes", "we paint white roses red", and "you could be Alice and I could be the Mad Hatter," lines. I, as a person who suffers from anxiety, depression, and what I think to be OCD (not the Excoriation kind) can relate to this song.
MAD HATTER LYRICS SKIN
In the song's lyrics it goes "I'm peeling the skin off my face" which I know picking at and peeling large portions of skin off one's body is part of a certain mental illness called Excoriation Disorder, a form of OCD. I think this song is about being proud and taking ownership of having a mental illness. But no matter how prettied up she got herself, no matter how many parties she went to, she was still just what she always was. She wanted to fit in, of course, and so she tried. But personally, I find it to be the story of a girl who tried. (Basically all of her songs) This song, is, obviously, open to interpretation, which is why we're here. Potato Head) and narratives, like this one, on her own craziness. They touch on subjects like abuse (Dollhouse,Tag You're It) and wistfulness, (Teddy Bear, Training Wheels) along with more critical commentaries (Milk and Cookies, Mrs. They paint a sort of picture in your mind of a, shall we say,dystopian world. If you want to dig deeper, listen to the lyrics of all her songs. I'm not ruling out the possibility that it's from hers, but it seems unlikely. She could be writing from a character's perspective, or even someone she knows personally. She's the one with the creepy, childlike songs with lyrics that make you stop and think. It's a song about going insane, yes, or maybe already being insane, but Melanie has a specific kind of branding. I think that this is not necessarily from Melanie's point of view. I can really relate to crybabys life and I just wanted to say thank you Melanie Martinez this song actually changed my life and taugh me that it's ok to be yourself, After all, So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are! "So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are." I especially love the beats of the song and the ending part.

"You think I'm phsyco you think I'm gone tell the physiatrist something is wrong!" "The normals they make me afraid, the crazies they make me feel sane."
MAD HATTER LYRICS HOW TO
(They were wrong) ) in conclusion I feel like people who are "crazy" in general know how to have more fun than "normals" do.

Not to long ago I found someone who actually cared about me as a friend and is just as phsyco as me! :) I've discovered that people called me crazy at school for having thoughts of imaginary things that seems absolutely absurd and impossible to accomplish. (And even the mad hatter) I used to have lots of fake friends who had taken advantage of me while I thought they actually cared about me. I absolutely looove, this song so much! I can very much relate to Melanie/ Crybaby.
