Mothica - UPSIDE (Official Music Video)

[@alizacruz]

Theory: you’re representing how you feel on the inside, struggling mentally and battling depression, and that’s why you’re a zombified Mothica in the video. Everyone around you sees life in color, but you see only grey. Toxic positivity is tough to deal with so you just have to be there physically with these people despite not being there mentally while they celebrate your birthday. You’re an outcast with this group. You can’t relate to anyone and finally at the end find someone else who’s “already dead on the inside” who you can relate to. I think this is a powerful message and very creative video!! 🖤

‪Theory: the greatest ad for beef jerky in the history of advertising‬

[@nina2draw375]

Plss✋🏽💀

[@Jinx_of_Nyx]

I actually did get an ad for jerky before getting to watch the video, so…

It's like people don't even know the Macho Man Randy Savage anymore. What is this world even...

[@michaelmorningstar2700]

Lyrics: I come home to lights off, missed calls, don't even bother Can't sleep, can't eat, I'm underwater There's nothing that you can say, I've always felt this way Left out, leftovers on the counter Feels like I'm only sinking further There's nothing that you can say, just chemicals in my brain There's a little voice running through my head Reminding me of the stupid things I said All the mistakes I've ever made Playing over again On the upside, everything's gonna bе just fine I'm already dead on thе inside Nobody can hurt me now On the outside, having the time of my life Hanging with people I don't like Nobody can hurt me now Nobody can hurt me now, ooh Nobody can hurt me now, ooh Nobody can hurt me Bloodshot, no tears, at least it's something Still here, didn't even see you coming I don't like the way it feels but at least I can say it's real There's a little voice running through my head Reminding me of the stupid things I said I let the monsters in my bed, they say On the upside, everything's gonna be just fine I'm already dead on the inside Nobody can hurt me now On the outside, having the time of my life Hanging with people I don't like Nobody can hurt me now Nobody can hurt me now, ooh Nobody can hurt me now, ooh Nobody can hurt me Now, ooh Nobody can hurt me now, ooh Nobody can hurt me now

[@certifiedidjit7816]

I love how this video has so many levels to it. First off, she's a zombie because she feels dead inside. I liked how all of the party people seemed super bright and happy- often when I'm feeling "like a zombie", everyone around me seems almost obnoxiously happy. I think also it seemed like she was trying to do normal things (brush teeth, eat, smile), but it felt wrong and forced, like going through the motions (😉). It's a perfect representation of what so many of us feel like- totally empty on the inside but trying to act smiley for everyone around us. I also feel like at the end she finds another person like her, and by taking the girls' arm, Mothica takes a little piece of her with her. Basically- it was a dope video. Mothica, bravo you've done it again 👏

[@Lunabyes]

SO SO GOOD!! On October 30th, it'll be the 6 year anniversary of a childhood friend's suicide. You and our music have helped me heal so so much. It was an honour to be a part of your forever fifteen lyric video. I'm now 5 years, 9 months, and 30 days free from self harm, and last week I hit ONE HUNDRED DAYS sober from Opiates! Your story, your art, your music, has truly changed my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without you and Blue Hour. If my friend was still here, I know for a FACT she would absolutely adore it. Thank you for sharing your art with us. I know how hard it is to make it big completely independently. You've got this! The production quality of this video is also top notch👌🏻

[@brewgamingworlds8419]

Congrats on your 100 days and almost 6 years!

[@boneappletee6416]

Congrats!

[@jaerae8144]

Wow, that's amazing. I'm happy you've come so far. :) I'm slowly healing from self-harm myself, but I know I'm getting better. I'm so sorry about your friend, but I know they would likely be proud of you. Keep it up. :) :) I'm sure you're an amazing person, and I can't wait until the day I can say it's been 5 years. But I'm still just reaching for 1 year now. If I can stay strong until then, I might make a celebration out of it. Congrats on the 100 days too!

[@nolongerhere-q3d]

Congratulations! I'm very sorry to hear about your friend, it's very admirable that you've turned it into positive motivation. Thank you for sharing your story 💕 super inspiring c:

[@twilightfunhouse]

i’m so insanely excited for this!! this song got me out of a really rough time (as did the rest of the EP)

[@InsomniacOwl91]

Theory: I don’t wanna like be too presumptuous, but definitely the feeling that everyone around you is experiencing joy and happiness in a way that doesn’t feel palpable for you. Like your on the outside of the veil everyone else feels and tries to impress on you. You’re like conveying exhaustion from the wear and tear of how that weighs?

[@aysel1993]

So proud of u for this.Every MV is a masterpiece 🖤

[@doctor_who5203]

I discovered you this week and ended up binging your entire discography, your music is already helping me through some rough times so thank you so much for making this art, you're such an inspiration to me already ❤️❤️❤️

[@docmedecal]

These music videos are always so good, the style is just perfect.

[@lauravgo]

ITS A F MASTERPIECE. AS ALWAYS YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT US

[@harpermorgenstern1079]

My theory is walking through life feeling as though you've already died while everyone around you is alive and happy, and they keep giving you things that will "make" you happy or make you alive like them, even though it doesn't work and it doesn't bring you back. The only thing that does give you a reaction is when you finally see someone that's like you

[@iamRIELL]

SO GOOD 😍

[@FIRXFLY]

This era's music videos have been so great. I'm so proud of you

[@elysiancx3982]

The whole music video is such a mood.

[@OvercastAZ]

SO FIRE

[@Gothgalactica]

Man, I love this look on her. 😭 She literally makes dead makeup look pretty 🥺🖤✨

[@elysiancx3982]

This is such a masterpiece. I need the lyrics omg

[@koral77]

“Have you tried beef jerky?” IM SCREAMING YESSSSSSS I LOVED THIS SO MUCH

[@MorbidRainbow]

This song scratches the same itch as when i listen to the first panic! at the disco album. FeelsGoodMan.

[@chiefnastygaming8485]

Saw this lady in St. Louis with Coheed. She's amazing. Made a fan that day. Love this chick.

[@soumyasaral3143]

i love that we're slowly getting music videos for all of the songs in this EP, because dear lord do i love it so, so much

[@deny2605]

Right when I feel at my lowest you drop another masterpiece and help me keep going, tysm

[@trilithiumnion1558]

You're an angel. When I died last year you helped me find myself with your gift of music. Don't ever forget that we're here with you. Keep your eye on the ball.

[@ChelsieJoSCC92]

Theory: youre dead inside, around a world who doesn’t seem to notice. And yet, the people you feel closest too/the people who always seem to care, are the ones that are equally as miserable as you.

[@hawtpocket3]

This is way too fucking accurate. I hate you.

[@jymmmi4449]

yep. lonely people are like stand users. they're drawn towards each other.

[@BunnyDreamer]

Everyones equally as miserable and some choose to ignore it and live while others focus on it I have a plethora of mental and physical disabilities and i still force myself to suck it up and practice gratitude Its the only real way to live, otherwise youre at the bottom of a pit pulling everyone in with you and causing an endless cycle of self pity and shallow beliefs

[@melissagoddessa1102]

The artistic talent is on point. I’m impressed. Happy Autumn, everyone.

[@AvengerofVertexes]

This is precisely the song I needed at this particular time. Thank you.

[@sk8ersarah1]

This is so amazing and brings so much more meaning to upside I love this song so much it and motions I’m a Pisces and it really sucks feeling so much at once then not feeling anything. I love you mothica 🤘🏻

[@ravenclawsden2103]

Holy shit, when the lyrics hit this hard, it truly hit me that this entire song totally shows how I feel on the inside. So sad of a reality

[@sophielochmann1308]

The 12.03. Is my birthday also! I was born in 1990 but still feel like i am 16 sometimes

[@aydingrace3841]

oh my god i’m already in love:)

[@alise.112]

🐸But did 🥀👏🏻

[@shannaziobro4517]

my theory for the mv is that life is constantly going and going. it never stops- no matter how you feel. it seems like everyone around you is so lively & happy and you’re just…. not. even if you feel dead on the inside, things will get better.

[@Ekkan_Words]

This looks sooo freaking awesome already!

[@TheBeatlesAbbeyRoad2]

WOOOOOOO!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!

[@thevertebraedeity]

YES YES YES YES YES!!! I’ve been waiting for this one-

[@dayoffinkyoto]

it’s like I always feel like something is wrong with me and I’m not as happy as everyone else around me and then there’s finally someone who gets you and that’s an upside. you finally feel not alone on your feelings.

[@cerysnewman1160]

i love this so much!! to me this is about feeling so overwhelmingly numb while everyone else around you is perfectly fine, and you're just wondering how they're so happy and what's wrong with you, because you should be happy like them, what's wrong with you? but then you finally find someone like you, who too struggles with feeling nothing sometimes. and it's great having someone who finally knows what you're going through, so you don't have to hide anymore

[@mariannebec9871]

As always : perfect one from Mothica

[@christophermclean5087]

Omg this is so good!! How is she not everywhere!?!?!?!?

[@woodlandcreaturefeature2832]

This is the best thing ever!! Thank you for buying that duck kettle last year, without it I would never have found your videos and found my favorite artist!

[@CupcakeMinecrafter]

i really needed this right now. my relationship is struggling so much because of mental health problems from both ends but this song makes me feel invincible. everything you create makes me able to keep pushing forward. much love moths

[@CupcakeMinecrafter]

ok we broke up but i’m gonna hold onto this video

[@JboyJW]

Wow, so good. Great lyrics!

[@westmezzanine4321]

Listened to Mothica’s forever fifteen EP a couple weeks ago so when this came up in my recommended I thought she’d dropped something new, and I noticed the same with upside. They’re both on the album so I have heard them before, but I haven’t listened to either a ton since, and the amazing thing is it feels new again. You can listen to one of her songs a second time and it can feel like the first time again, all these little eccentricities to her music and the added dimensions of the videos can give you a whole new perspective and make you appreciate the song in a way you didn’t before. She’s really a great in my book for that and many other things Edit: Omg the end lmao

[@LilMissCaylaCalo]

I think the meaning is that you can be present in all the things happening around you but you aren’t having fun because you aren’t like the people around you. But will feel happier when you find someone similar to you. So like feeling dead inside and being with people you don’t like. But the upside is finding your like person!

[@LivingLightCoalition]

This video is the epitome of being surrounded by “Positive vibes only” folks

[@BodaliaBones]

This is a gorgeous music video, I love it, and really needed to see and hear something that covered this feeling today, ty so much for all your amazing work 💜✨

[@mechtim]

when you are dead inside but still have a social life, oh the struggle.

[@bryanmchugh1307]

I do not understand how Mothy is NOT one of the biggest stars in todays popular music. She is better than basically everything else on my radio dial. Her and Poppy.

[@shenova]

Omg with the yellow smiley faces it reminds me of my new song Life’s Like This a little haha. Life has kicked me around too dude 😩

[@holocoffin]

Always so fantastic. I love this so much. 🫀

[@ytbr3383]

Beautiful song! Seems to describe how you feel life is gray sometimes when mental clarity becomes pale, instead of being in colour like others who feel just fine. Hope you will get more colours and happiness in life!

[@MickeyMartin-b5d]

Mothica flies!

[@skylerhart9263]

Mothica is Supreme day and Night. Love your music sm!!

[@sarah3times]

I've been obsessed with Mothica's music for the past weeks and now I'm obsessed with the videos as well. Phenomenal!

[@itsnichole_xo5238]

This is amazing! What a wonderfully executed project!

[@piotrsoltys]

CMON PRODUCTION!!! this is so good!

[@JH-strychnine]

You are so good. Sometimes honesty is the best way to summon your inner beast. You embrace so many emotions that people can relate with, myself included. Great stuff that buzzes with emotional fallout.

[@selenagomezjaz]

Wow the colors and contrast are amazing I love it,I haven't heard the song yet but now that I have, it's another songs I relate to soo much

[@xxkacylovexx]

I love this song so much. I always come back to it, it's like my anthem or theme song lol. Great work Mothica, you deserve way more recognition.

[@Laura-rm4gg]

te amo mothica, entenda q vc é perfeita

absolutely love it, keep up doing the good work and making the music we all appreciate

[@meowdalyn]

yes queen give us everything

[@flagooee]

this girl will grow, and grow, and i will be here listening to allm

[@Cheryl87220]

YAY FINALLY!!!!!

[@ImTheKillaMonster]

AHH OBSESSED!!!

[@eaooae7312]

this video to me is about seeing everybody around you be able to feel happyness while feeling like you can't because you're dead inside (zombie). the part where she is eating on the floor could either be about her eating disorder, and the part at the end when the girl's arm rips off while she walks away could be about her not being able to continue the relationship or it could just be a goofy thing to end the music video.

[@soso-df7hs]

Part of me hopes she was able to eat the forever cake after filming, this time! 🎉🎂🥰

[@ghostswitches305]

insanity! Dense, dark, night music... The band brings into the sphere a slithering metalish masterpiece!

[@Reverands]

Great video, nice colour contrast. Great go back to song.

[@ANNA_any0]

congratulations for your success!!!

[@april4524]

absolutely in love

[@laguria4536]

That thing at the end is what happens when I listen to Mothica's songs. I'm not alone.

[@tanjirokamado1673]

Omg this is my favorite song now!!! ❤️

[@Winntyy]

This song popped up in my Spotify recommended and I am so happy it did

[@BrazosEbner]

So good Mothica!!!!

[@mattyfierroz767]

Just discovered your tunes. Amazing stuff! Keep on rocking.

[@fiz2589]

YESSS I LOVE HER LOOK

[@wyndellhurst7657]

ZOMBTHICA IS SERVING!!!!

[@DRDUNNY]

Mothica you’re different 🔥🎶 I love it

[@julianowak5210]

i love everything about this

[@madisonhall2003]

I somehow stumbled onto this song on March 12th, how amazing, happy birthday i guess

[@algaaria1807]

YEAHH

[@kaycie92]

LOVE 😩😩

[@LunaWitcher]

Meeting someone and immediately checking their pulse on their neck should be the standard tbh

[@jaquelinemonroy4555]

YAAAAAAAS all of your music videos and music are absolutely amazing and pieces of art

[@oh_em1111]

my theory: it’s like the music video is showing the version of you on the inside -the “dead” version you truly feel to be yourself sometimes- that is numb to what’s going on around you. in situations that you would normally mask to keep other people happy, the link between who you are and what you show is broken but life still goes on as if no one notices. the reason “nobody can hurt you now” is because you’ve already accepted the worst. if people leave you, you figure that maybe you deserved it or it was going to happen eventually. but at the end when you find someone like you, that sees you for who you are and they show who they are to you, you realize you aren’t as alone as you thought you were. 🖤🖤

[@abbeyleigh5052]

this is like the song that the cinemas would play at the end of a horror movie to make it more "uplifting" and "positive"

[@allasianpop]

She got some perrie Edwards vibessss,,,,,, love you mothica

[@brandon77suzuki]

I'm dead on the inside too. Great song.

[@matthewlongdue8416]

Such a masterpiece 🖤💯

[@Trinity-vs5wb]

i’m so sad i’ll be at work when this releases

[@michaelsolhan9710]

Theory: when one is that numb (dead on the inside) there is little to no relating to those around them living their happy-go-lucky lives. There is just more loneliness and emptiness. When you finally do find someone with that in common it can instantly draw you together.

[@vikramb183]

OMG I LOVED THAT!!!! That might be your best music video so far!! I can’t believe your music videos are just as good as your music!!!

[@jaidenfrangou-mayer9784]

Just the whole being in a group of people having a good time and feeling left out and off, like I was pretending to be happy. I had that moment at a friends birthday party when I was 14 and remember thinking “oh somethings wrong with me”.

[@steffanvierirs2239]

LOVE IT🖤 it´s too relatable tbh

[@MrPoshreany]

This will always be my life anthem, breakup or with someone. It just is my life.

[@kaidisimmonds2594]

Amazing!!!!!

[@ReznovK9]

This song is beautiful

[@ishide4310]

No puedo esperar AAAAHHHhh
