"womb shedding any lessons, making room for blessings" this song is beautiful 😭❤️❤️
I started bawling when i first heard those lines 😭❤
I know I started squealing like a 12 year old it's so pretty
this song is so pretty
What does she mean by those words?
@@imane-ri5nc pregnancy
“Making room for blessings” the fact that she refers to babies as “blessings” just makes my heart happy 🩷
THAT'S SO CUTE
OMG I LOVE THAT SM 😭😭
There’s also another interpretation for how when women are on their period, it’s when they’re able to go through deep spiritual reflection hence why they’re emotional and it allows them to gain blessings and self growth :)))
This comment is one of the reasons why this song was made.
OMG THATS SO CUTE
5 minutes in therapy: 😭😰 5 minutes listening to melanie martinez: 😍🤩

This song is so beautiful,the way they talk about pregnancy,menstruation and sex can just change a whole point of you,seriously this woman is amazing.
This don’t talk abt sex

@@4everDivy that’s describing the menstruation cycle. “Blood swimming turned him amphibious” is supposed to represent the blood in a girls period and these quotes are supposed to make men mad stated by melanie
@@allg00dnamesareg0n3cherries are used to refer to a womans virginity ( aka popped your cherry)
It feels so weird and exciting when you're an adult who have been listening to Mel's music since you were in your preteen. 😭😭💗
Exactly how I feel after just turning 20 and seeing her in concert for the first time at 16🥹
Right 🥹🥲🥲
Yes ive been listening since i was 12/13……. Time flies…..
Dang I was like 5-7 when I found her
FR😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Love it ♡ how she chose this topic that can be taken with lots of judgement but its just accepting and embracing our bodies and our nature, and not shaming for it. Not something easy to do, and she've done it so beautifully ♡
oh god i love armys
I just love the "juice melting like raspberry pomegranate" line, I wrote a poem about this the last year, and I used the same to describe it. "Pure puree of cranberries and pomegranate" idk it makes me happy to see something similar made by Mel.

@@kurokami9428 no worries, it’s ok When I read “underrated” and “overrated”, I was confused because of the juxtaposition lol
This song makes me feel so much more secure about my own body honestly. Normally I think of my period as it's own form of cosmic horror but it's so calming to hear her talk about it as an ethereal thing. I hope I dont sound too cheesy but this is really helping me appreciate my body and make peace with periods. This song really makes me feel ethereal and sacred
@@pecy no
That’s beautiful :)
Absolutely! I feel the same way, especially since I’m trans. This song is beautiful and empowering :)
Periods are disgusting and uncomfortable and it's perfectly fine to not "vibe" with it. Urination and feces are natural too and people don't have to vibe with it. I got rid of my period permanently and for me, it was the best decision ever.
@@SireneKalypso you got rid of it? Like transition or old age?

Everybody doubted this song but we're gonna sit down for a second and listen thoroughly. Even if it's a mocking towards her ex, I don't think Tree could ever produce anything on this level, or even reach the lyrical genius incorporated in this song. We love you mel, And keep on weirding out toxic men who assume they have authority over other people bodoes, We applaud you for that 💕

Lyrical genius on this one? No. It’s an okay song, but the lyrics are too descriptive omg- 🤮
@@PsychoAuthorIX Grow up🙄 like the rest of us with Melanie it's a natural thing and everyone knows periods exist stop being childish 😂
@@cherrykidchelle Everyone knows that periods exist, duh. It’s already normalized, has been forever. I’m on my period right now, it doesn’t mean I can make a lyric saying ‘dairy cream’ and explicit lyrics and a whole song on it. I admit the song is okay, the lyrics are gross. Period.
I really love how it relates to maturation and how women can still do anything even if they are on their periods (I'm pretty sure this is what it's about)
Menstruation* and yes it is about periods

love the way she took something like menstruation and turned it into a beautiful song, this is not something to feel ashamed of, it represents life and how weird and great it is, I’m gatekeeping this song if y’all don’t like it
It’s all yours
don’t want to be that person but i was the 300th like :D
@@Pukeprincess okay..?
"how GREAT it is"?? Girl dont lie to urself. Having periods sucks, its painful and messy. One of the reasons i wish i was born a man.
@@moonamoonz They didn't say that periods are great. They said "it represents life and how weird and great it is". They're saying that life is weird and great, not periods themselves. But yeah, i agree with what you said. Having a period definitely sucks, but the purpose of the comment was about how you shouldn't be ashamed of it (which i also agree with)
I love how her intentions with this song was to make toxic ppl uncomfortable in the first place n it really worked 😭 I love Mel sm

Every since i heard Moon Cycle, I always imagined myself dancin to it in Gamelan dances?? idk how to explain, the way the rhythm flows makes each body/eye movement, delicate yet precise. It tells a story with no start but ends like a dream. idk maybe it's my lost roots callin but... could it also be a past life? a feminine one? w Mel's theme of rebirth, i spiritually connect this thru my soul :')
can confidently say i’ve never doubted this song. it’s an amazing thing to be comfortable with how your body operates and the sheer gift of being able to produce 🌱

We should all listen to this every time we are menstruating and start calling it our moon cycle if we are asked just to spite those who are uncomfortable with the topic, preach Melanie frrr
i used to call mine ‘shark week’ but now i’m calling it ‘moon cycle’ ☺️🌕
I’ve always called it either my “moon” or my “cycle” my grandmother and mother were Wiccan. I had ceremony on a full moon when I had my first period. All the women in my family plus all the women and girl friends that were very close to me came and it was beautiful. I still have photos of that night and you can see “orbs” flying around in all the photos. We callled on our ancestors to guide me through life and womanhood and I believe those orbs were them.

@hellishdemon oh, and a man can? Of course womans can't do anything, just like mans can't either. But is good have a song that normalize what it was to be disgusting for us. We don't need to be ashamed of what is part of our body's
@hellishdemon if it's that painful then it should get checked out. Periods are literally natural what do you even mean?😭
@hellishdemon I also have extremely dehabilitation periods I know what the pain is like but that pain isn't the same for everyone. This level of pain is abnormal and selective so your point doesn't apply to everyone. It's still natural and normal. As for people like us there are things that can help like birth control but I'm no doctor.
@hellishdemon I know you have a problem with your period but you need to realize that you're projecting yourself into others and I hope you can find relief someday

Moon Cycle is about the menstrual cycle. How it is a normal process that roughly half the human population undergoes. Women shouldn't be ashamed of their period, instead they should be empowered that they can go through life with unbearable pain and cramps like it's nothing.

It’s like, you’re understanding what a female (or anyone who has to deals with something as harsh as periods) goes through when dealing with periods and all the reproductive hardships (yes, I mean pregnancy as well. I’m only bringing it up because of the lyric “I keep it handy, womb shedding any lessons/making room for blessings”, which could be taken out of context, but that’s how I see it 😭). Thanks Mel for this song 🙏🏼
Don’t call us females.
@@Holaimja not everyone who has periods likes to be referred to with the term female. Trans men and non binary people can have them too :)
@@ihavehopeforu I was thinking about that afterwards once I had posted my comment, which I forgot to fix 😅
@@Ur_face_rn Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend. I fixed my comment (I intended to fix it since yesterday, but I forgot to change it up until now).
@@Holaimja its ok, it was an honest mistake :)
Mels music is my therapy and healing from trauma/past
"But I don't give a fuck cause I'm so strong" "I could win a fight on my period" "Matter fact, right now I could build a pyramid" I love how she adds those into the song. It just puts a smile on my face to hear how she gets through it.
@@red_eyed_soul Good to know!
@hellishdemon wha??
@hellishdemon being able to withstand it and having to go to work while dealing with it is DEFINITELY strong.
@hellishdemon they’re strong enough to deal with it. exactly my point. anyone who’s able to deal with pain is a strong person.
@hellishdemon periods happen because of a dead egg. the egg regenerates…
Seriously cannot believe anyone hated this 😂😂❤️ it’s so empowering and I love that it makes me uncomfortable to play in front of people so I play it more!!
Sameeeee❤❤❤
Melanie literally changed my life this is music therapy symbolically, literally, figuratively and everythingly
fr shes actually such a creative lyrical genius and makes songs abt real things
if men are hating this song then melanie must be happy and proud of herself
Listening this while on my period is SATISFYING😍😍
I SAY: BABY BOY YOU KNOW IN MY PERIOD IAAAAAHHH
So much is packed in this whole album and each song is packed with so much love, tears, etc. I don't know how she does it. But whatever she does she should keep doing it!
at school, we have to hide our pads and when we have a period we cant say it publicly because of how many offensive boys we have. this song makes me feel some kind of confidence and relief, it shows how life is truly weird in any way (with periods and stuff.) i might just be a youngster who has been listening since dollhouse era (didnt have an account back then) but melanie, when i heard this snippet. I WAS LOOPING IT LIKE CRAZY! and im looping it even more since the song released. thank you melanie for inspiring me for years, cant wait for the film to come out :)

4 things Moon Cycle talks about: •Period sex •Normalizing periods •Blood kink •Breeding kink And I love em all, love this song since the snippet Edit: Since a lot are not getting it and fighting me, this is my opinion y'all calm down
I understood everything except the breeding kink part😭Can you please explain
@@shrimp-adoodle3444 "Skin ready for my heavy daily cream, I keep it handy, womb shedding any lessons, making room for blessings" I see it as making room for a baby and the heavy cream is well, cum, lots of it, I think Mel is trying to tell us something
I don't see the link with the kink part. A man who fuck a girl on her period doesnt mean it's a "breeding/blood kink". Every grown woman with a open minded bf exeperience this kind of sex once in their life.. your man doesn't need to be into blood/breeding thing for liking this kind of sex.. Maybe u can explain more ? So i can maybe see the link ?:D (Hope it doesn't sound "mean" i struggle a lot with english lol)
@@shrimp-adoodle3444 i'm guessing "skin ready for my heavy daily creme i keep it handy" 🫣
@@nataliecox1352 i though it was about self carfe during ur period like applying moisturizer on ur face
Listening to celebrate one year of the album. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PORTALS! ❤ Best Melanie project EVER!
it was the end and the only things left were "moon cycle baby" and my dad in his head probably was like "why is it repeating moon cycle baby what is a moon cycle maybe phases of the moon" and I was trying to laugh because I was embarrassed because my dad walked in on me while I watched this..They are talking about phases of the moon at school and I am thinking in my head "moon cycle baby". SUCH A GOOD SONG!!
thanks for liking my comment ❤
HELP- once you associate a Melanie song with something, you can NEVER look at it the same 😭😅
Lyrics aside which I think are beautiful, the melody is so pretty and ethereal. It’s such a happy sounding song. One of her best! It’s been on repeat 🔁
it’s a directly stolen from Aries, the song is called under your skin, give it a listen
I love this song because I’m 10 right now and I got my period at 9 years old and this always helps me get through it love you mel FREE PALESTINEEEEEE
Underrated bop🌕🩸
Yusssss girlll😊
