GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WITH THE **K-12 AFTER SCHOOL EDITION*

[@vintagefear2646]

Though the theme of k-12 (the standard version) is primarily the situations and settings of school and seeing it as being a much more condensed version of society and what we go through, I also see this album having political undertones, especially with how melanie wrote "The Principal" being about abuse of political and supreme power (Donald Tr*ump), as well as "Wheels on the Bus" being about how many people choose and activity ignore societal and political problems and pretend that they can't do anything about it nor speak about it.

[@alannacore]

So i organized the songs from the after school ep and their meaning for you :) AFTER-SCHOOL EP Notebook- an unfulfilling relationship/giving them tips for their next relationship Test Me- accepting the challenges of life to build strength and wisdom (so like being tested) Brain & Heart- saying "don't rely on only your heart and only your brain to make a decision" Numbers- being treated as waste while feeling overworked and underpaid Glued- attachment and detachment (when you’re completely attached you have the potential to get hurt but you are able to feel the depth of love. when you’re detached you save yourself from potential hurt but never get to feel that level of love) Field Trip- the intricacies of Melanie as a person (like her spiritual beliefs) The Bakery- hating her job at a bakery to raise money (so more of a straightforward personal song) edit: hope this helps!!

[@Angelika.b210]

Fun fact! Melanie's parents were supposed to name her Katerina (idk how to spell it) which means light but they decided to name her Melenie, which means dark.

[@Yngxelita]

The spilt hair😍

[@bkrew1647]

KATRINA KATRINA [I had to do it ]

[@starzzz29]

My name is Melanie 😭😭😭

[@Genesis0.95]

“Katerina is the womb for 9 months “ (I had to)

[@poetsatmidnights]

@@Genesis0.95that’s what i was thinking!!

[@MaddyPerez128]

5:34 I laughed so hard at this cause I knew what was coming later 😭 (I highly recommend watching the movie when you can, the songs are all in the movie and it’s really good) Edit: I read somewhere that The Principal is about Donald Trump, the current president at the time. Also if it wasn’t obvious, Principal is also a play on words with “principle” (“Oh where’s the principal / principle) I just realized the “icing” in strawberry shortcake is a metaphor for girls wearing make up and dressing up, because the actual girl is the “cake”

[@nicoislost258]

I think that's why she says "where's the principal" because after creating problems, he is not here to solve them

[@eumarquenhos]

I get, the first time i heard after school EP i hated all the songs but the bakery, but now after school is my favorite melanie's album and its just an EP 😭

[@lutetiamagar5562]

There is one more song called "fire drill" in k-12 which plays in her credit scene in the movie

[@heathershangovercure]

I love fire drill even if it's just a single

[@harplixx]

You know Melanie's writing evolved from k-12 to After School because the way that her writing got deeper is insane. I literally took so long to even understand brain and heart and I still don't fully understand Test Me

[@madiesfirstadventure5536]

Also dont worry about crying during OJ Melanie cries when she sings it live too. She wrote the song that would help other like her. in america (or some states) schools get payed for attendence rates

[@LaurLaurWatsid]

A cool thing about this album is that there's 13 tracks, Track 1 for Kindergarten, Track 2 for first grade, and so on! (I'm not American idk if kindergarten is meant to be first I just think so😭)

[@heathershangovercure]

I'm American and here it goes preschool (if you want, that's just to learn how to listen in a school setting basically and is like a daycare ) kindergarten is learning how to read and stuff, then it gets to 1st grade and so on

[@luvxoxundertalehazbinhotel1835]

In America, or at least where I am. It's preschool if your parents want to, then Pre-K then Kinder

[@bigchoppa1897]

The class fight reaction threw me off so much Ps. I laughed so hard that my younger sister thought i was dying.

[@ash3rishere]

YESSS, THE QUEEN IS BACKKK 💗

[@xixiluvsu]

So bascically each song is one year. WOTB: kindergarten Class Fight: 1st grade The principal: 2nd grade Show and tell: 3rd grade Nurse's office: 4th grade Drama Club: 5th grade Strawberry Shortcake: 6th grade Lunchbox Friends: 7th grade im too lazy to do the rest so hope u understand !

[@Grape_Panta__]

I love your reactions girlll you are just💖💖

[@amazingallieedits]

the bakery is the song I dance around my living room and listen to when I’m home alone

[@bonnithebunny8921]

Lunchbox friends is about crybaby talking to kelly and kelly trying to make her into a bully or a barbie but Melanie doesn’t want that she wants a good friend

[@miodejaneiro222]
