Madeline the Person - MEAN! (Official Music Video)

[@MadelineThePerson]

Guys!!!!!!! It means the absolute world to me to hear your stories and know that you feel any amount of comfort from my song. I’ve only ever wanted to make people feel less alone with my music. Thank you for sharing your feelings with me, I will always hold them so closely. I LOVE YOU!

After years of manipulation, verbal abuse, gaslighting and lies, my mother and I finally cut ties a few weeks back. I can't explain how much this song resonates with me. I may not be perfect, but I'm nothing like her and that's enough for me.

[@xdkankaxd5427]

i am proud of you :)

[@orania8033]

Well done lovely🖤

[@k.a.m_dh9959]

Your mother probably yelled at you once and know you go around claiming to suffer from a traumatic childhood.. Damn, my generation is fucking hilarious

[@mattfurry3205]

Well I hope you tell her and try to understand her and maybe one day forgive her because forgiveness is divine and it does come around from time to time

[@alanna.777]

i was looking for a comment like yours, bc i can relate this so much

[@writtencrimes]

I'm an introverted person with horrible social anxiety, this song makes me feel safe and warm. Although I don't have friends this song tells me I don't need friends to be happy! And that's true. Edit: Omg! I've never had so many likes before ty!

[@edwardmetcalfe273]

I'll be your friend! So less of the no friends stuff buddy 😊

[@leafnlore2712]

Being an introvert in this world is an amazing positive!! I would encourage you to check out a book called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking". It will affirm for you the gifts you bring to the world, and your value in a world that has gone astray. Appreciate who you are, and take pride in what you have to offer. You are unique. You are loved. Your are needed. Feel free to contact me if you would like to.

[@sheeftala]

I can be your friend also c: I use to have no friends and I also have social anxiety and it prevents me from making friends. I have one friend now. So it’s nice finding someone u relate a bit to 😌

I feel you sis!

Dont worry your not the only one❤️

[@Skypticdragon22]

As someone who struggles with anxiety and high functioning autism, it's so hard to be accepted. This song really speaks to me and makes me feel happy knowing that I'm not alone.

[@feroxtm2061]

u can do this

[@Megan_Stewart7]

yea I know, we can do this!

[@dancingcarapace]

Hey, we don't use functioning labels anymore. They do more harm than good. Kids can get labeled 'high functioning and then get zero help when they actually need a lot of support to succeed. /nm

[@leafnlore2712]

Appreciate who you are, and take pride in what you have to offer. You are unique. You are loved. Your are needed.

[@unnaturaldisaster1728]

@@dancingcarapace yes! functioning labels box neurodivergent people and it’s based on what society deems to be less impactful on others and more exploitable, so “high functioning” neurodivergent people learn to mask their traits to fit in to please neurotypicals and are left with a load of trauma and mental illness; “low functioning” are treated as less then by society and are infantilised and are refused certain privileges others have just because they are visibly neurodivergent. it’s so harmful to compartmentalise nd people because it’s a spectrum and literally every nd person is very different and can be seemingly “high functioning” in one area and “low functioning” in another

[@Katxki]

The “One thing I like about me is that I’m nothing like you and I never will be” part hits so close to home. I’ve never listened to a song consecutively like I have with this one. I still have a slightly rocky road coming to terms with my trauma but this song captures a chunk of it. Thank you Madeline for sharing your talent with the world 💖

[@tristam370]

Lyrics! :) You said I take too much space half an inch from my face and you meant it You grabbed my hands and you smiled as you kicked me right out my own sentence I’m glad you got the chance to be honest, I’m happy for you There goes years of my progress You said I take too much space Now I know what you meant when you said it One thing I like about me is that I’m nothing like you and I never will be Someone who loves how it sounds when they speak You’re not telling the truth, no you’re just being mean You’re just being mean (One thing I like about me is that I’m nothing like you and I never will be) You’re just being mean (Someone who loves how it sounds when they speak You’re not telling the truth, no you’re just being mean) I went outside just to cry Had this look in your eye like you won Oh, but I can’t be surprised You care less the more damage you’ve done I’m glad you’re working through all your issues Projecting on me will never be the way to fix you You said I take too much space And right now I can’t shake how it stung One thing I like about me is that I’m nothing like you and I never will be Someone who loves how it sounds when they speak You’re not telling the truth, no you’re just being mean You’re just being mean (One thing I like about me is that I’m nothing like you and I never will be) You’re just being mean (Someone who loves how it sounds when they speak You’re not telling the truth, no you’re just being mean)

I swear, this song is truly the Wikipedia definition of my life. I was raised in an abusive and toxic household and because of it I was always worried I'd eventually turn into my parents and hurt the people around me. This song truly captures how I survived.

Anyone think that Melanie Martinez, Ashnikko, And Madeline the person would make an AMAZING song or is it just me??

[@bellarose288]

You don’t understand how much this song means to me. This song fits so much into my life. It makes me feel seen and I thank you for creating this great representation. Your words and your voice flow amazingly and you are incredibly talented. Thank you so much.

[@eleanorgreen8939]

Funnily I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 18 2 weeks after this song came out and this has been on play non stop. Years of being misunderstood and labelled as different by my peers - especially because of my hyperactivity - does sting. This song definitely fits so many neurodivergents perfectly, including me. Thank you for bringing some validation for us.

[@devionewilkins8903]

I KNOW EXACTLY how you feel. Try being diagnosed with ADHD when you were just 9-10 years old. It was a heck of a struggle. So much that I started to develop Maladaptive daydreaming. It sucks, but the Good will always outweigh the bad. Never seek validation from anyone who didn’t pay you mind the first time. As my dad told me. Be your own person, but never try to impress someone who you know doesn’t care for you. People put themselves 6ft under due to rejection.

[@everaced]

As comforting and validating as this song may be, just be aware that it's dangerously easy to be just as mean as them without realizing it. I made this mistake recently and just wanted to PSA

[@heathermason7875]

i feel like this song was calling me out for being mean too

[@pixiepalasmr6881]

It’s refreshing to see self awareness in a comment section. Remember, just because you weren’t who you want to be in the past doesn’t mean you can’t change that for the future. We are not defined by our past selves, but by what our current selves do.

[@icu3869]

Please give an example so we can understand. It sounds like you gained some insight and realised you were being hurtful, but dont give any clues as to the situation, what happened to show you the err of your ways, or what we all can do to be self aware

[@sappheau]

Such a healing voice with meaningful lyrics. I love her so much.

I was bullied for 4 years constantly after moving from the states to the U.K. and I ended up believing a lot of the things they said. It become part of my self image. I was 10. Im turning 20 next month and I’m still affected by their words. But I’m getting trauma therapy now. This song is exactly what I wish I could say to them. Edit: thank you to all the people who are sending me love and words of encouragement. It makes me feel less alone. ❤️❤️

Also an American that moved to the UK, at 5 years old. I share a lot of your experience, and had to go through therapy for social anxiety. It's a big step to seek help, so I'm proud of you for that!💪🏼 you're not alone. It takes time but it will get better, I promise xx

[@Katherines_journey]

I have major social and regular anxiety with high functioning autism and i finally have over come it after being homeschooled for two years and never leaving my bedroom due to a massive autistic burnout that made me super depressed and crocheting the same thing over and over again in my bed everyday as a 12 year old girl. Im now almost 14 and went to the hospital because of physical problems and my anxiety was horrible until i went inside and i was ok, i now went to the mall today with only major anxiety while just about to go in but after that i was totally fine! Im so proud of myself and i believe that there is not a god or jesus but there is something up there beyond what the eye can see because the day i prayed that 2024 would be a new and improved year in 2023 during the darkest of my life after being targeted, sexually harassed and tortured by adults and kids at school for 7 years i am finally away and have found myself and i like to think my trauma is what makes my life and my future better because it does, it has made me as mentally mature as a 22 year old as my therapist said and i have the mental capacity of a person that has gone through hell and back. And to sum that all up, this song is extraordinarily relatable and your trauma is what makes your future the best it could be❤

[@belleisnotreal]

Got out of such a sick friend group who were so awful and mean. There was a night I ran out of their apartment, drunk and crying because I couldn’t understand why they were being so mean to a girl we knew. I truly am so glad that I’m nothing like them and I refuse to be. I can’t hold hate like that in my heart

[@theayacoub7217]

[@kennedethreadgilll7574]

I grew up with parents that didn’t want me around and a family that brushed me off and friends that only tolerated me and boyfriends that only wanted sex and others that took advantage of me thank you for somewhat giving me the power.

[@angelicasysnila5476]

I haven't related to a song to such an extreme level. My abusive bestie said so many hurtful things to me but i lost my cool when she burned my forehead with a curling iron which she held against my head and told me it was my fault. I left her some time after that, but the damage was already done. I would spend whole night awake and sometimes crying cuz her words kept rewinding in my head, it was non stop. I am doing better now. But it took me months to heal. Each and every part of this video describes my emotions when i was with her. Madeline has created such a beautiful masterpiece for all of us. And her singing is so mesmerizing, she has a beautiful voice ❤ Saved this in my favourite playlist.

[@nathanaeldaniel3434]

I relate to this,my hommie was very narcissistic he would even break laws in my name and invalidate my feelings when I told him things about my life. I know it’s not to the same but I thought it would be some comfort

This reminds me of my toxic relationship with who I thought was my soul mate, he made it clear that he didn't love me like I had loved him and he was so mean. He couldn't communicate solutions because he found comfort in causing problems because he was unhappy and start unnecessary wars with me... I'd wave my white flag everytime, surrendering to him because I'm weak to his wicked words that cut deep and bring up my dad whose died or tell me nobody loved me. "One thing I like about me is that I'm nothing like you and I'll never be".... I'll never promise a future that's smoke and mirrors, weaponize someone's pain, scream, accustom someone to be afaird of me or make someone feel unloved and not cared for. I'll always be me.. I'll always love with all my heart, think of others, be emotionally available, helping hand, someone that listens and is humble. I'll always be there in someone's corner if they need support, faithful to my friends when they're not around and stay true to myself. ❤ It DOES get BETTER.

I had felt awful for the longest time and hated myself for becoming the very thing that plagued my existence for someone else. This song touches that part of me that remembers my young heart learning that being alone is better than becoming a horrible person--and even then I'll never be alone if I'm true to myself. The reassurance in that belief, that I'll be better and kinder from now on, gets me emotional everytime 🥺💖

When I heard this song on tiktok I definitely had to come here. This song really hits hard if you're unaccepted by the society or your own family

[@priscillamusalwe9228]

This song I love because it's speaking to my mum's relatives who looked down on me for being a teenage Mom and said I will not accomplish a thing 🤍💗💕thank you for this song 💗.

[@Shniib]

Relateable and that's really great but that DEEP VOICE GOODNESS IN THE CHORUS THO Edit: Also love how there is a story being told and not just the generic singing staring into the camera from 10 different angles

[@Wolf-wh3qp]

Fuck this song is making me cry. It sounds so gentle if you don't pay attention to the words and then when you do it hits so fucking hard

[@gabym5006]

Being on this video was an HONOR. what a legend ❤️❤️❤️

[@MrHarley2112]

I discovered this song on Tik Tok and had to trace it to the source... what a great well written and sung piece of musical art... this is a song for people to feel and heal too... nicely done

[@chubbymarshmello...]

"one thing I like about me is that I'm nothing like you and I never will be" this part I truly feel with...

[@kaelig.8569]

My mom has always been a type of narcissistic that makes me feel crazy for feeling hurt. Especially when I was young, I really thought she was right most of the time. As I've gotten older and gotten away more, I see how truly out of touch and strange she is. And well, she's just mean a lot. In a way I didn't used to think of the word mean. It's this nuanced horrible thing. This song made me cry when I heard it in a TikTok this morning. The "you're not telling the truth, you're just being mean" lyric was especially affirming. She's called me abusive when I try to set boundaries and said things I know aren't reality about relatives, but it's messed with me. When I was a kid I "took too much space" for her to take up the amount she wanted to take up. I love that "I know what you meant" lyric too in the first verse. Wonderful song

[@darla22]

This song is seriously amazing! I remember seeing Madeline in concert for the first time and just being blown away. I already have all the lyrics to this song memorized.

[@Bigb00bs_umchileanywaysso]

I just cut off my 7 years of friendship and I’ve never been happier and this song really expressed how I felt for all those years

[@weimarworld]

your lyrics and voice are so hauntingly beautiful, chills every time

My dad is pretty bad, especially to me, he's not as bad to my siblings, but isn't great with them either. Somehow, they don't see it. But I relate to this song in that way, he isn't honest, he's just mean. He lies and he's selfish and lazy yet acts and talks as if every word he speaks is of utmost importance with no care for what anyone else says. Him and I argue a lot, but what really sucks is that I hate him, yet get told all the time that I'm like him. And I know it's true, it's not necessarily a bad thing, he's like my grandma and I'm like him, though I'd say I'm more like my grandma because while we all share some similarities that make it so we'll _never_ get along (just with him, my grandma and I are totally fine because the biggest difference is self-awareness and love for others, which my father lacks). I'm trying to be less mean though, less like him, but it's really hard to not be influenced by your parents, especially when you still live with them. Though I am very different from him and my siblings in many ways, because while I get compared to him for a few personality traits, I'm not lazy, I'm not selfish, I help others and care for them, I don't talk behind people's backs, I am self aware enough to see what is wrong with _me_ and _fix it._ And I love that, because the ways I am like him can be turned for good, they can be good things if you don't use it to tear others down. Can't wait until the day I can say I'm nothing like him.

[@isabelldawn]

You're incredible! I love the message of this song. It makes my heart feel many different ways at once, and of course : all the goosebumps! ❤

[@MattheoTomasRiddle]

My favorite lyrics are “one thing I like about me is I’m nothing like you and I never will be” and this is how I feel about my mom I love her but she yells at me picks favorites and takes her anger out on me for no reason I don’t wanna be that type of parent to my kids I wanna encourage them and not making them feel less than anyone else

[@claudiarugama1313]

I really loved this, istg, this is something that has been on my mind recently, even more after years of people telling me that I'm not what they expect or I'm not like them, and yeah, thank God for that I'm not like them

[@GREATDAYCHANNEL]

I LOVE YOU

[@relishlife8906]

I found this song on an Instagram reel of a Tiktok (that's very meta, no pun intended). It reminds me of a lot of people in my life, but especially my parents. I wasn't verbally abused, but my mom was and my siblings and I were neglected and manipulated by both parents. We weren't allowed to have a thought about either parent without the other one taking us out of the situation and making it about them and their issues. My older sister and I have grown a lot and people tell me and remind me everyday that I am the most empathetic and emotional person they've ever met, and how I am their rock. I will never be like the monsters that raised me, and I'm happy about that. I know who I am and I don't need the bullies, the voices, my parents, my brother, my family, my exes, I don't need anyone to decide that for me. Even now as I write this I'm sobbing, and I doubt it'll reach you, but this reminds me that I broke a long line of tradition and my children's inheritance won't just be pain and neglect.

[@hannahcb7739]

My boyfriend just left me because he thought i was too big. I feel awful because I've always been insecure about being bubbly. Fuck him i love this song

[@lashaylockard5562]

I can so relate to this song. I’ve been a misfit my whole life…all I’d ever wanted was to be accepted…I’m so misunderstood…but as of recently, I no longer give af!

[@padmjadodiya8232]

I'm always a clown in my classroom, I make everyone laugh but I never realised that they were laughing at me 😶🙂

[@mythologic7342]

I'm 19, autistic, and trans; I'm leaving for my second year of college tomorrow. I've been trying to forgive my family and recognize that I've hurt them too... but it's hard to do when we're so close to each other. That bit about lost progress really hits home

[@anekiemorgan6006]

Hi just had a baby and I'm going through postpartum drepression and when I listen to this songs I know its going to be ok

[@daisysdiaries2022]

This is a beautiful song! The chorus beat reminds me of another song and I can't put my finger on it and it's driving me insane, does anyone know what other song has a similar beat to the chorus?

[@LeeKnows_LeftEyebrow]

this is by far one of my favorite songs its so relatable and sounds so good

[@lewiskeeler6207]

Wow about time someone actually published a song that I can relate too in my life and is definitely my favourite song, every time you say "me" gives me goosebumps just wow oh wow. I'm speechless really thank you that's all I have got definitely not cutting onions will typing this

[@aubreyvogt2489]

Oh my god oh my god. As someone neurodivergent it’s hard being easily accepted in this world. I hold this song so close to my heart. Goosebumps.

[@ericasmith5531]

1000% this. ☝️

[@lauraeder4769]

Came here to say this.

[@xAngelxStarx]

[@allyharris204]

Same with me and it can be hard to feel like you can never fit in. I love songs like this that are so relatable

[@hallie-maegrugeon1263]

I always felt like I was just like my dad, but I realised I don't do half the things he's done.

[@panda14gaming47]

This song just hits deep on so many levels, can’t wait to figure out the chords to play it on uke :)

[@mia-js3qy]

i found out the hard way trios dont work and this song helps me cope so much

[@samanthadiaz1356]

This song makes me feel better after growing up with a bad father❤idk how to say it but this song hugs the little girl in me that is sobbing after having her dad express his disappointment in her. Thank you so much Madeline for this beautiful and healing creation❤❤❤

[@code_man69]
