Melanie Martinez - MOON CYCLE (Official Audio)

[@yimi222]

Lyrics of this artwork: Why you always act so serious I said, baby boy you know I’m on my period, Yuh He bit the cherry down, he’s delirious Seeing red figures in his mirrors and Acting like a real tough, furious Blood swimming turned him amphibious He says he doesn’t care, that he’s into this It happens every time the new season hits Skin ready for my heavy daily creme I keep it handy, womb shedding any lessons Making room for blessings Juice melting like raspberry pomegranate It’s so scary how my aura got him howling At my moon cycle baby Now he kissing on the ground that I walk on Tryna get another taste but I’m all cramped up Pain like a blade on the front lawn But I don’t give a fuck cause I’m so strong I don’t gotta act I’m Ethereous I could win a fight on my period, matter fact Right now, I could build a pyramid You’re messin with my cycle, that is dangerous Skin ready for my heavy daily creme I keep it handy, womb shedding any lessons Making room for blessings Juice melting like raspberry pomegranate It’s so scary how my aura got him howling At my moon cycle baby Moon cycle baby Moon cycle baby Moon cycle baby ✨✨

Lyrics: "Why you always act so serious?" I said, "Baby boy, you know I'm on my period," Yeah He bit the cherry down, he's delirious Seeing red figures in his mirrors and Acting like a real tough, furious Blood swimming, turn him amphibious He says he doesn't care, that he's into this It happens every time a new season hits Skin ready for my heavy daily crème I keep it handy, womb shedding Any lessons, making room for blessings Juice melting like raspberry Pomegranate. It's so scary How my aura got him howling at my moon cycle, baby Now he kissing on the ground that I walk on Tryna get another taste, but I'm all cramped up Pain like a blade on the front lawn But I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm so strong I don't gotta act, I'm ethereous I could win a fight on my period Matter of fact, right now, I could build a pyramid You messing with my cycle, that is dangerous Skin ready for my heavy daily crème I keep it handy, womb shedding Any lessons, making room for blessings Juice melting like raspberry Pomegranate.

"I wrote this song in the portal room alone over one of the instrumental tracks in that folder that was sent to me. It was a guitar loop by Pearl Lion. On each of my albums I like to include at least one "taboo" song about something many people deal with but no one talks about in music. I wanted to write a fun, lighthearted, song about being a person who experiences menstruation. How blood represents vitality and life. I wanted the chorus to be pretty and to use analogies for bleeding that were sweet. "Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate it's so scary, how my aura got him howling at my moon cycle baby." The rumbling sounds that lead into the song are my actual period cramps I recorded on my phone. With the conflict of patriarchal society brainwashing straight cis men to believe they should have any kind of say over other people's bodies, and also the general kind of ick that they get from the discussion of menstruation, I wanted to make the song extra uncomfy for them by going on to describe a man who lives for period sex!" - Mel in an interview

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. I love this song 'cause it's one of those rare finds that actually makes people proud of who they are. ❤

[@Janal_Hoe]

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 :')

[@stellarpanda1431]

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

[@shrimp-adoodle3444]

I understood everything except the breeding kink part😭Can you please explain

[@stellarpanda1431]

@@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

[@quelquunabracadabra6120]

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)

As a guy, I felt the empowerment of these lyrics. 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 🙏🏼

@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.
