*She's REally Pouring Out Her Heart on this ONE. She's talking about how the industry doesn't care about her Creativity, they only care about her making a record hit. and she is exhausted, and just feels like just a number that can just be cut off and replaced so easily. They play A LOT of GAMES in the industry. As the TEMPO INCREASES it's like how the music hits the charts, sometimes you'll rise and sometimes you'll numbers will DROP- as the tempo slows is like when you are no longer popular and your dead and useless to them and they just throw you away.*

[@katsuki-smpxx5328]

@@brodiereactvids7135 probably start in an office (pastel pinks, blues, purples and greens) and she quits the job (like it goes through showing everyone as robots and a corporate overlord watching the income grow) it would probably start out very binary, as Melanie is fighting against it by explaining that she isn't just a number and that she's capable of so much more, I imagine a scene of them ignoring her ideas and her not taking it anymore, she shows them all wrong and she tears open a portal to a planet that's got rose fields, cotton candy kind of vibes, she steps in (it has an alien feel to it yet its like a wonderland) and she's showing this gorgeous and quirky place showing her struggle and her passion and it in the end turns out to be her brain 🧠 and she's projecting what we just saw onto a projector screen in an office and all the people in charge are just looking around stunned

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

I come back to this song every so often because this is something I can’t put into words. The way the school system has treated me is completely unfair to my emotions or personal wants. I could not force myself to go to school because of how bad it made me feel for falling behind, how horrible being in a classroom full of ignorant people was, how the curriculum itself was constructed so you couldn’t be creative if you tried. Am I just a number to them? Do I need to be numb to the system’s abuse in order to understand? Leave it to Melanie to voice mine and so many other’s pain so clearly through song

[@suzifredenburg4267]

This is exactly why this is my favorite song it makes me think of how much school sucks and what's wrong with it

lyrics guy here [Verse 1] Count up your portion, count up your checks Either you're fam or you’re comin' at my neck When you gonna freeze with the cool dramatics? I'm not inspired by your foolish practice Why do you bullshit? Side up your fence I’m just a chicken givin' you the egg Soon, you're gonna see that your platform's wasted Don't speak too soon on your doubts you're making A big deal out of a little thing Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical? [Chorus] Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal? You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant There’s no controlling the imagination on a send [Verse 2] Take me to Venus, let me explode I'm ready to pop like a volcano Jump over me like you're playing hot lava Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna Drink me like soda? People, of course Use all your words to distract from the source Aware of the growth, the paper happens Leave me alone in my own concoction Breakin’ all my fingertips to carve out many roads Pushin' out the petals from the thought of what I know [Chorus] Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal? You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before And all my intuition says is expansion comes first But watch us buy material and talkin' 'bout in here My heart space and my cranium must belong to my dear Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel [Bridge] They replaced their search for knowledge With the reach of many material gains They lack the tenderness of the sensitive Empathetic but he's cryin' from the pain It's too late to grow their frame In their mind, seems like it's already made No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't Wanna cry or retice worthy of creation Am I just a number?
