Penelope Scott - Cabaret

[@puddlel1ama327]

the way the lyrics progress she got cheated on, starting with angry at the girl her ex cheated with, then angry with the ex, then sad, then looking for solidarity with the girl after she learns her ex abused her too the story is so tragically beautiful

[@DoormanSoorman]

Literally my life

[@belugaval144]

i think the two girls end up gay. that's just my interpretation tho.

[@Revel_Luvie]

Forget any kind of drug, "If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't hurt so bad, perhaps I could have moved my shaking hands to hit you back" hits harder than all of them combined

[@Titi_purluu]

Real

[@Revel_Luvie]

I know right-

[@yxx3]

so real

[@athroneoflies8785]

and the fact that the line "cum shot to the face of god" is in the same song is truly something else

[@taycat34]

for me the line "I can't believe you took away one last song" hits really hard even though i can't apply anything specific to it

[@ekomieran7150]

you could make a song that was 30 minutes long and i would easily listen to the whole thing in one sitting, your lyricism is just so genius and i don’t get tired of listening to it 😭❤️

[@aaalgon]

THE WAY YOU GOT A HEART FROM PENELOPE HERSELF 😭

[@Shawaine]

That chaotic, yet, completely perfect execution of the piano in this song legit blows my mind.

[@sporky9861]

im sorry but the canon in d segment was SO FUCKING GOODDD😭😭 canon is very very special to me for personal reasons and to hear you use it in one of your songs is honestly kind of unbelievably cool and magical. thank you so much penelope.

[@athroneoflies8785]

The line "You should've been safe, he loved you first. Why would I fucking want him if he hurt you worse?" is a pain i can actually feel in my ribs what the fuck

[@cajtheninja]

I'M UP. I'M HERE :D

[@shippergirl1000]

This sounds like Penelope is fed up with people saying all her music sounds the same but it also sounds like she's talking about a lover. Maybe she dated someone who said her songs were all the same/ just pop songs

[@jos3ph..w]

this song is about a person but penelope also said when shes talking to/about something in this song shes adressing multiple complex and interesting emotions/experiences, this song seems to explore a love triangle, music "sounding the same" being a key part of that

[@chancehavins9215]

Honestly I’d be so pissed if a man pulled up and said” ur song is reductive” let me play this other girls song really fast. He couldn’t comprehend the rage IM feeling secondhand

[@leafylavenderlover9197]

That piano is gorgeous I love how it goes upbeat and fast them all thr sudden it goes slow, OMG I'VE MISSED HER SM😭😭💔💔

are we gonna talk about canon in d at 6:42 bc holy fuck

Absolutely adore the music but can we talk about the background because that’s also absolutely stunning

“i mean, i think he told me your songs lean a little more towards pop-“ AUGHHHHHH I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS

[@its_me_mahkya]

Lyrics! [Intro] It sounds like a cabaret to you That's what you said I could live a thousand years and still not know just what you meant [Chorus] It sounds like a cabaret to you What can I say? When I know that you would feel that way about anything I play I'll bet my songs all sound the same to you I'll bet they fuckin' do I'll bet they sound the same because you've only heard like two I'll bet my shit all sounds the same to you I'll bet it fuckin' does Given the circumstances that does not amount to much [Verse 1] How could you do it on my turf in my own home, to my own kids About what's so absolutely mine And if you played me one of hers and it sounds better than my own I'd have to eat a gun and fuck off to thе sky And if it's worse than most of mine well that still sucks ass too And I am still fuckеd even if it's just the same You would have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead You nailed me drunk and screamed her name [Chorus] It sounds like a cabaret to you And I feel so small And I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it at all 'Cause everything is just ok to you It's in the past I'll bet you don't remember that you even fuckin' asked [Verse 2] But how dare you make the offer? And I should've kicked your ass Given you a look that turned your slimy bones to ash If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't hurt so bad Perhaps I could've moved my shaking hands to hit you back [Bridge] So first of all that I would still play for you Anything at all And it's just a fucking cabaret to you Suddenly I'm half as tall [Verse 3] Goddamnit, you could call my house in bed with her just to say that she was better, and I'd still be half as mad about the whole affair Tell me which of your ten fingers have been how far in her mouth that you prefer the way she pulls your fuckin' hair Goddamit, all the branches all the fuckin' implications, code and circuitry, inherent in your words The nerve of it the gall, I should just put you underground and leave your unintended insults, all your shit code for the worms [Chorus] It sounds like a cabaret to you, and what can I do? The sound of cities burning is a cabaret to you And I'll bet it sounds the same to you, all of my shit A nastier offense than if you'd gone after my near-perfect tits So don't play it for me I can't believe you took away one more song, don't play it for me You're a monster and you'll never live this down, so play it for me A cum shot to the face of God, don't play it for me You tell her I said she sounds great, but don't play it for me [Interlude] [Chorus] Well it was never a fucking game for you Of course not And you're sure he's only sorry 'Cause he got caught You should've been safe, he loved you first Why would I fucking want him if he hurt you worse? [Post-Chorus] Let's run away We'll go to France Even though I never fucking learned a lick of French I'll write you letters, I'll write you every day And they will say whatever you would like for them to say [Verse 4] How could he do it on our turf, in our own homes to our own kids? How could he paint everything so red? And if he'd played me one of yours I'd still be listening to it now And I would've cried my eyes right out of my fucking head [Chorus] Well it was never a cabaret for you, of course not I mean, I think he told me your songs lean a little more towards pop You should've been safe, he loved you worse How could I ever love him if he hurt you first? [Post-Chorus] Let's run away We'll go to France Even though I never fucking learned a lick of French I'll write you letters, I'll write you every day And they will say whatever you need them to say [Piano Outro]

Thank you 😁👍

[@Ram1dy]

Third or fourth time listening to this. I love it so much, all of the songs have been so replay-able

[@MISS.CRYBABY]

Fr i know all the lyrics to all her other songs thats how replay-able any of her songs on and im abt to listen to all of the songs in this playlist for hoursss

[@dearil8007]

ALBUM REVIEW, TRACK 3: Cabaret this song sounds like penelopes runaway. the subject matter, the beautiful piano, i feel like this does everything the junkyard 2 was trying to do and does it even better. it sounds so well produced, her singing is amazing and theres honestly not a single complaint id have about this track. not a single second of the 7 minutes is wasted on something filler, and even when one of the choruses are repeating it still sounds just as good as the rest of the content. jesus christ penelope, this shit was awesome. also, im gonna feel a bit uncomfortable finishing this entirely after the first bit lol. 9/10!!!!!

[@Chirrie]

wait if you don't have any complaints about it then why is it only 9/10 instead of 10/10?

[@dearil8007]

@Chirrie just because i have no complaints doesn't mean it's a perfect track yknow? does that make sense

[@BlackHeart6]

the part about there being filler is so true normally in songs i skip around to my favorite parts, but even though this song is so long its all so good, i always listen straight through!

[@aaalgon]

ok but i thought the junkyard 2 was a compilation of scrapped projects and thats why its called the junkyard, and wikipedia called it a compilation album

[@okeydokeysmallholding9680]

Meticulously crafted from brains best and worst thoughts! Amazing 🎉

[@roobartpie]

The part at 6:51 is stuck in my head so bad and as a musician i wanna steal that melody so bad

[@amarahslittlelife]

the way you go through so many styles in this one piece just to prove your point adds to it so so much. This entire song feels like looking through an artist's portfolio

[@jaydenyamada2916]

With just piano and a voice, this is one of the most visceral songs I've ever listened to. Bravo

[@FruityFairie]

In love with this song, going into my go to playlist

[@alexisgm4284]

Holy shit, I just discovered this album on a 10 hour car ride and this song punched me in the most beautiful way possible. I dont even know what to say, I can’t explain how this song makes me feel, it’s so perfect.

[@shippergirl1000]

Your music has this perfect vibe of sadness and anger that makes relate to it Evan if it's about something I've never experienced cuz I feel like for some reason it perfectly describes my feelings in the way it's written and sang

[@Spinelsofficalwife]

This song is such an experience tbh, the piano is perfection and the lyricism in these songs honestly inspires me

[@thesweetnobody6442]

genuinely one of the best songs this year! you're such a fantastic artist!!! can't wait for Mysteries for Rats!

The junkyard got me through middle school while I was trying to figure out my identity and feeling so lonely and tired. I’m glad I’m getting to see you evolve along side me. Thank you for getting me through so many hard times. I’m doing better now, and I hope you are too. ❤️‍🩹

[@pinksmoke6616]

really really enjoy this one, this one feels like it could be on the junkyard 2, but much better produced, very much shows how penelope has grown, and i truly love the piano in this one, the end of the song was also super fun and dynamic. the whole thing is just a banger

This is super nice, always nice to hear new PS songs, fun voice, fun versions of recognizable melodies repurposed, and anticapitalist messages every once and a while. Thank you, Penelope Scott. Your music slaps.

This song really hits different when you're an artist who had their work dismissed and compared to someone else's work, even if it's vastly different, by someone close to you. Thank you. It feels cathartic, in a way.

1:18 “you’d have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead, you nailed me drunk, and screamed her name.” Idk why but that line just… idk 4:03
