Paris Paloma - drywall [Official Video]

[@sarahkemnitz8906]

Moved out and left my abusive partner for domestic violence today. The best 12 hours of work I did for myself in a long time. A state away and finally free. This song hits hard

[@haleyslight]

Take care of yourself sweetie, where ever you are. You are Devine and deserve every bit of real happiness and love this world has to offer you just need to remind yourself of this everyday. ❤ sending you so much strength

[@inzhuna]

you are strong, you are free ♥ all the best to you

[@endeavor1664]

I’m so glad to hear you made it out. I wish I all the best, and much happiness to come :)❤

[@Rose-kt5hn]

I'm so proud of you!! I can't imagine how hard that was. Keep moving onwards and upwards. I wish good things your way and empowerment every day💜

[@clarissarobynn]

YOU'RE FREE!!!!! Thats what matters. Clothes, jewelry, furniture all of that can be replaced. You escaped and I am SO proud of you.

[@ivettkovacs3536]

I’m kind of used to the fact that each new song you release ends up being the best song I have ever heard, but I am still astonished by how visually stunning these music videos are

[@mugwortsoupwhat]

Still doesnt understand how the channel isnt more popular when its this good and the song is used everywhere

[@JeanetteDufrisne]

this music video was actually artistically taken from the creator Marcy Dawns short film the ribbon, that she made in 2019, and she had gotten no credit for it

[@ivettkovacs3536]

@@JeanetteDufrisne Is it available anywhere? I couldn’t find anything about it. Or do you know if the creators of this video had direct access to it?

[@carterhuh]

@@JeanetteDufrisneim confused because the lyrics are synced perfectly?

[@calendulate]

i know right

[@sageauthor31]

As an escapee of domestic violence, the progressively angrier “never making good on silent threats so that he knows that I have nothing” hits so hard. A little told side of domestic violence is when the victims are aware of the abuse, but they accept. I accepted the love that I thought I deserved because somehow his destruction looked beautiful. A cage can be pretty and binding handcuffs can feel comforting if you love the person holding the key.

[@makeupacadia]

Ugh this comment 😭

[@ashleighcarter4775]

Explained perfectly im in the same boat

[@stacyyoust]

You wrote at least one great lyric within just this one comment here! Hey how do I follow you?🎉

[@sidlil7017]

Well, that was eye opening @sageauthor31 your words are very moving thank you. I think I needed to hear that in the worst way…

[@nynevematthews146]

I like how, at the end, the ribbon is broken but it’s still tied to her wrist. I think it means that she's free, but she still needs time fully cast off the marks of that relationship and heal.

[@traumaprotector]

More like the ribbon is her freedom, that men thought they could latch on to for their own dirty needs and use her! That ribbon is really pretty on her hands on the end! She had to unfortunately cut away, hide away, or pain a part of herself...just to get rid of those dirty people.. But now she's free, with her beautiful ribbon as a sign of bravery and beauty of the feminine returning! 🍉🕜💯

[@ashleysturgill2706]

I love her in the video though she’s always leading him by her ribbon. The ribbon was always hers. She was reclaiming it.

[@viktoreisfeld9470]

This is a beautiful song. My father used to do this. It's strange how the men that do this never hit one of the two-by-four studs behind the drywall with their fists. They always magically miss They never break their hands or hurt themselves. They never hit anything really solid. It's always just an expression of rage to intimidate and instill fear and never actual rage. When I was little, like 5 or 6, my father would come home drunk and pick me up by my shirt and slam me into the wall at his face height and yell at me with the most angry mean face that I've ever seen to this day - I'm an old man, now. And, my head and sometimes my shoulders would leave a hole in the drywall. I remember being so happy to patch it - like a kid play learning a trade from their father so that they could be like them. But, now as an old man looking back, maybe it was more about covering up what happened. It happened until I was 16 and finally bigger and stronger than him and he was afraid of me hitting him back.

[@hebaabbas1230]

I am sorry this happened to you. This was very beautifully written

[@FocusedFighter777]

In the end they always prove how weak they are....

[@FOXL0RE]

I'm glad you survived this. Please, remember to be kind to yourself. It never heals completely, having an abusive parent. But we can take care and keep watch so that we never become the slightest thing like them.

[@toniaconlon1025]

❤

[@viktoreisfeld9470]

I can't believe how many responses and likes this comment has gotten. I never intended that. I thought no one would notice it and it would just disappear into the ether. It was just to boost Paris - "like and comment, it helps with the algos". I never wanted to be noticed/acknowledged or any kind of sympathy or anything. It was just about my father and the loneliness that he created in my life.

[@nataliedawes2410]

To all you fellow survivors, I love you all and I'm glad we made it.

[@Sophie_Pea]

“I’ve tried all the parenting”…..god that’s powerful

[@lonsiedos]

as someone who still flinches when someone yells or slams their hands on a desk too hard, every day is one step further away from him. this song will be coming with me for the rest of the journey.

[@ashleysturgill2706]

You’re not alone in the journey 💕

[@Prullemien]

The red ribbon made me thing immediately about the red string of fate from Asian folklore! “The Red Thread of Fate (Chinese: 姻緣紅線; pinyin: Yīnyuán hóngxiàn), also referred to as the Red Thread of Marriage, and other variants, is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese mythology.[1][2] It is commonly thought of as an invisible red cord around the finger of those that are destined to meet one another in a certain situation as they are "their one true love". The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmate or a destined partner.” This makes the severing of the ribbon so much deeper because not only is she choosing freedom but she’s deciding against faith and folklore that he IS NOT her soulmate. 💥 she chooses her own destiny.

[@dogteetharts971]

This song is beautiful. Last year I finally cut off my father. The line “I tried all the parenting” hit really hard for me, because I did and it didn’t work. “Never making good on silent threats so I know that I have nothing” is so accurate. My father used to threaten to kill me constantly and I stayed because I thought he would hurt me or my siblings or himself. If anyone has a parent like mine, leave. they won’t love you because you take care of them. This song is amazing, thank you Paris Paloma.

[@anonymouscommenter7976]

I know this song is about a relationship, but it makes me think of my abusive older brother. He used to hit the walls, and us, plus much worse. The tie is severed now that he died, but I still have the scars, both literally and mentally. This song makes me feel like maybe I can fully severe those ties someday.

[@adelaideshriver9603]

the chills i got when i realized the beat was mimicking the punching sound. i’m obsessed with all your songs, you’re easily one of my favorite artists

[@SakuraSamora]

Fuuuuuck....

[@nancychen2981]

OMG SAME I didn't realize it too! It makes so much sense now

[@freezerdoor751]

Don't think anyone's mentioned this, but at around 2:32 (I think), the vocals in the background sound like you're listening to an argument in the next room over. I don't know if that's the intention, but it's wild how realistic it sounds if it was.

[@Junior_Historians]

There are some things that have happened in my life that I’ve never been able to describe in words, only feelings…but Paris always manages to scream the words for me. In her lyrics I hear everything I’ve always needed to hear, yet never been able to vocalize. Thank you for being a light in the darkest of places, Paris❤️

I may have already left this comment, but I want to point out how drastically different Paloma's tone is when she sings the chorus for the last time. I love how this demonstrates her gentle passivity turning into rage, and I have so much respect for this artist---for both her lyricism and her stance as a trans-inclusive feminist. ♥️

[@AEMolinaro]

I just discovered this talented young woman 10 minutes ago and I think I'm already a fan for life.

[@tmpBO]

For me it was yesterday! Definitely obsessed. She’s so young to write with so much insight and clarity. It’s amazing.

[@TempestSageX]

She is just such a delightful breath of fresh air on the music scene. She absolutely deserves wider popularity but for now Im enjoying being in this little club too.

[@FairLadySpiny]

I left my abusive ex 3 months ago and I finally feel free. He used to try and scare me by beating the walls and I used to stay up crying, promising myself I’d eventually leave. Eventually once he actually did hit me, I stole my cat and ran away, it was the scariest but most freeing moment of my life. Music gave me a lot of the strength I lost throughout that relationship until I was brave enough to leave. Thank you for the wonderful music paris, keep it up.

[@lemonsideddice]

Omg you are so strong !!

[@mg725]

This song rips my heart out. From the very fist line I could have written myself about my own marriage. Can't hear it without bawling.

[@tiffanyhall2584]

Paris Paloma IS A MOVEMENT...she's openly screaming from the rooftop what every woman has felt since the creation of the Patriarchy. Once upon time women were seen as Goddesses and respected for the beautiful magical beings we are. THANK YOU PARIS for being the voice for so many woman who want to speak out but can’t out of fear of the consequences! ❤ You are an angel sent to this Earth! You are POWERFUL!! I can feel the power inside of you!! This is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come! I can feel it in my bones and feel it in the weather. The winds are changing.

[@Serpentinsatin]

This masterpiece is the perfect breakup song. Because it does not feed into sadness, a hopeless gaze. But it pours power and assurance into every single one of us. "but he has nothing" Yes - You reap what you sow!

[@dallasflynn5200]

My Dearest, you have created another Anthem that rallies the Sisterhood to draw strength from within ourselves so that we may help others as we help ourselves rise from male dominated oppression. I have been waiting since 1972 for someone to take up the musical mantle after Helen Reddy (RIP) gave us I Am Woman. Fifty-one years is a lifetime, but the wait for you and others of your generation has been worth it. My simple “Thank-you.” does not seem enough when it sits here in one small post, but coupled with millions of other words of gratitude from millions of other women hopefully makes you feel how much your efforts mean to us. Thank-you. ❤

[@elizabethmorgan293]

You know, mankind's closest relatives are the common chimpanzee & the pygmy chimpanzee, aka the bonobo. Common chimps are violent, patriarchal & heterosexual; in contrast, bonobo females are bisexual in practice, but they're really lesbians who only have transactional sex w/ males if another female isn't around. They only bond w/ females, & bc they only bond w/ females, bonobo culture is a matriarchy in which males have little power. Status among females is determined by a female bonobo's appeal to the alpha females. Bonobos have zero tolerance for male aggression, & if a male hits or tries to rape a female, all that she has to do is vocalize her distress, & the other females will come flying, gang up on the male, beat the hell out of him & drive him out of the troupe. They don't mess around, either; the females aren't killers, but they have been known to rip digits & even penises off of offending males. Bc they dominate the males so much as a result of their sexual attraction to each other, there is virtually no violence in bonobo culture, except w/ regard to taking care of business w/ aggressive males. No rape, murder or infanticide. In contrast, life for a female chimp is pure hell; the males physically abuse them, kill their infants to get them to go into heat & then rape them. Humans & common chimps do not properly express a gene that lowers male aggression; most bonobo males do. And in the only IQ competition between the species, the bonobos won, in part bc the male chimps couldn't stop fighting w/ each other long enough to accomplish the task at hand, & in part bc bonobos are super smart in add'n to being much more docile. Female bonobos spend the majority of their sex lives w/ other females, so their birth rate is much lower than that of common chimps; however, the rate of survival to adulthood is approx the same bc bonobo males don't kill offspring. How many children will not grow up bc of male violence in the Middle East & elsewhere? In many ways, the bonobos are culturally more civilized than humanity, & it seems that a Sapphic matriarchy is the key to world peace. Bonobos & common chimps share a common ancestral group that was cut in two by the Congo River, & the separate populations went their own way evolutionarily. Acc to scientists, a mutation occurred that resulted in a shift in bonobo female genitalia & they discovered that they were orgasmic w/ each other, but not w/ males, hence the reason for the tight female bonds that allow them to physically dominate males even though the average bonobo male is larger than the average bonobo female. (Common chimps are just apparently non-orgasmic, poor girls). The point to all of the foregoing is that I don't think that straight women are capable of throwing off the hetero yoke that men have on them. They're just not wired to bond sufficiently w/ other women to form a truly powerful sisterhood. I look at straight women as highly evolved female chimps & lesbians as highly evolved bonobos. Humans have the genes of a number of archaic homo species in their genomes, & I imagine that gay women reflect the genetic contribution of an extinct species that was organized along the female-dominated bonobo model as opposed to the common chimp patriarchal model. Thus, it seems to me that women are doomed to bitch about what assholes men are w/o being able to do much about it as long as they are so attracted to men that they will throw themselves under the bus to have them in their lives & drag other women w/ them.

LYRICS: He's punching walls again Cohesive arguments evade him Eggshell temperament No emotional regulation Hysterical baby, his gaze always evades me Doesn't know he is paving The road for my escape way every time I scratch another line I used to think of him a caring thing Knuckles on his drywall I've tried all of the parenting Descent into hysterically Rippin' into ribbons The things he knows he isn't And severing ties Funny rationality What would positions in power be? Led by feelings that seemingly change hourly I'm floored you ever got there And when he snaps out of it He drones in monotone, on a power trip With telltale blood still running in his coward lips From raising strokes that he hopes I'll cower in I used to think of him a caring thing Knuckles on his drywall I've tried all of the parenting Descent into hysterically Rippin' into ribbons The things he knows he isn't And severing ties Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Never making good on silent threats So that he knows that I have nothing Oh, but he has nothing I used to think of him a caring thing Knuckles on his drywall I've tried all of the parenting Descent into hysterically Rippin' into ribbons The things he knows he isn't And severing ties I'm severing ties Severing ties

[@JennyferPepin]

Just by seeing the 'walking up the stairs' I instantly had flashbacks. As a teenager, it was my cue to go into my room and be out of the way. My father would come back from work and spends hours and hours in his garage, drinking, and at 7-8pm when he would finally decide to come inside the house, he was ready to yell at everything and everyone. My mom tanking the worst of it. Gosh I hated this period of our lives.

[@mikazuki2320]

I like how in this son your hair isn't tied up, like it was in your song "labor." You aren't restrained, in your natural state connecting to nature in a tranquil forest, finally at piece.

[@quilnetsophiaamorm.8829]

Like how you can interpret the songs in different ways in lined with your own context... really allows the listeners to relate painfully yet therapeutically heard in some way

Ah, I see my divorce story is in song form now. Paris Paloma videos are like a step into another world. The lighting, the imagery, the ambience, the characters, all of it is cinematic in such a cool way while this incredible voice delivers cold as stone words and visceral descriptors. It's just amazing. So much talent here, and so much talent behind the scenes with these videos. Nicely done!

[@DHasty]

I wasnt believed by the adults in my life when i told them about the abuse my father put me through. My mom, my aunts, family friends, teachers, therapists...none of them were there for me. My therapists would try to teach me underhanded methods of manipulating him, but what they couldnt seem to comprehend was that no matter how meek and small i made myself, no matter how perfect i tried to be, it wasnt enough because i was never the problem in the first place. He'd find anything to get mad at when he wanted to, and there was no de-escalating. They thought i was too confrontational so they tried to make me change myself to appease a grown man who wanted to get drunk, get mad, and beat on a child and scream in their face.

[@SlippyLegJones]

Your music is just experimental enough for me to love it on the second listen. Like I always have to come to the realization I loved the song lmao. That just means it's not following the formula which I like.

[@B.Harper7]

@christinaskinner2455 oh God, baby please leave. You don't want to show your child that how he acts is acceptable and normal. You deserve TO BE IN LOVE with your person and your life. He doesn't have to hit you, for you to know he's not safe around your or your child. He's already showed his lack of emotional intelligence, and his cowardice. Believe him. It will only get harder to leave, and it will get WAY more difficult with kids asking questions and feeling the bounce back and forth between mom and dad are OK, back to they aren't OK. You deserve better!!! You want better! Your child deserves better, AND deserves to see mommy happy and thriving. Not mommy as a shell of herself, scooping more and more out until there is nothing left but scraping your bones. You can't raise your child and heal yourself while you are drowning, angel. I believe in you, and KNOW that you can do it. I know you'll get past the shitty inbetween stage and fall in love with your life all over again. 💖💖💖💖💖✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@B.Harper7]

Don't do what so many of us have done and stay, mistakenly believing that you are one of his priorities. Notice how he hasn't been impressed with your ability to handle him acting like a child, you actually accepting him back, nor is he impressed with your loyalty? Yeah, that only get worse over time. It turns to seething resentment towards you. Only worsened by the fact that the opportunities in your life, are used as poison by him in the relationship. God forbid you do incredible things that threaten his false sense of grandeur, heaven forbid you accomplish things in your life or show that you simply want him- not need him. Men don't want a traditional wife, they want a free spirit, that they feel they get to break, and want to make as their own possession. They have convinced themselves the act of giving up all of your wants and aspirations, is "the ultimate example of a woman loving them"; yes, that does sound like a thought from a prepubescent boy. I'm fairly certain it is, and they refused to grow out of it; that would mean accepting their insecurities and putting forth effort to improve.
