SODIKKEN - GRETEL

[@Abugonsocialmedia]

My own theory of hansel and gretel is: Gretel has been ridiculed and bullied all her life being "ugly" seemingly from an condition she cannot control. She had attention all the time due to her being the punching bag of everyone. She later on at night got stabbed by a man who go scared of her, killing her. Her brother on the other hand, Hansel, has never gotten any sort of this attention, no matter how hard he tried. He envied his sister for getting attention, even if it was negative, because he couldn't even have someone look over to him for a second. He then started to get into more and more dangerous stunts, trying to make people to look over to no avail. At one point though, he went insane in one of his stunts and died in the end, finally getting attention in the form of a funeral.

"Why would I enjoy this? No I'm not a masochist." kind of sounds like her response to Hansel, since in his song he says how Gretel is lucky getting so much attention.

My thoughts too, she seems to know Hansel is jealous, and maybe he’s even told her that

[@omega2432]

Masochism is enjoying suffering, I’m pretty sure. So I think it’s more Hansel saying she hates that

[@wolfordragondemon]

I think it’s really interesting that Gretel seemingly really likes Fairytales and fictional stories, while her brother seems to really like Circuses and performances. It adds flavor to her character

[@Lexi-bc7qn]

[@Cheerwine091]

Notable is the presence of Circus references in this song too, but only in a purely negative light. She gets the circus, but she doesn’t want it. Her brother, however, desperately craves the circus.

[@jasperjazzie]

makes sense, gretel wishes people will love her and not treat her like a monster for her skin condition, kind of like a fairy tale where she can have a happy ever after, meanwhile hansel wishes he could be the star of the show like in a circus

[@naomi2155]

Furthermore, we can deduce that Gretel really likes sweets and Hansel likes nature from the metaphors that each one uses in their song.

[@moth2144]

[@Mx.muffin]

I realized something about Gretel and Hansel's songs. Gretel's song sounds like something that would get your attention, with the repeated cymbal taps, while Hansel's starts off more quiet and unlikely to get your attention. Meanwhile, at the end of Handel's song, he ends on a loud note, leaving a lasting impression, while in Gretel's song, she slowly fades out on a quiet note, leaving no impression. They both started with something they don't want, and ending with something they wanted

I'm wondering if Gretel has neurofibromatosis. It's basically a disorder where blister-like tumors can grow all over ones body. If you look up some pictures on google, you'll know what I'm talking about. Maybe there was a mutation in her genes where she turned out like that, and unfortunately, she didn't have the right people around her to help. Instead, they just ridiculed her and abused her.

[@dove_inblack3546]

Searched it up.. and yeah I feel bad

[@cryptid4131]

Really? I was thinking she had epidermolysis bullosa, which is usually called having "butterfly skin" because of how fragile the skin is, which would explain the butterfly imagery in the video and how she says "all you touch will get marked up ." It also would explain how she couldn't eat the ice, as people with that condition can't really eat as even the inside of their esophagus will blister.

[@ライラアー]

cuz it says, it looks like some rasins has plastered my body so that is related

[@Valery0p5]

Honely their mention of arteries made it sound like some type of blood vessel tumor, like hemangiomas or maybe nevus flammeus (port wine stains). Blood vessels overgrow under your skin, it often covers a good part of your face making it look asymmetrical and basically turns your skin purple, something that's referenced in the drawings for this video other than the lyrics. It's instantly recognizable when you see someone with this birth condition, sometimes surgery can do a lot. I vividly remember as a kid going on a school trip and seeing this physics researcher with a mark on half of his face and one of his hands, ALL THE WHILE showing us how a Geiger counter worked with an open alpha particle source! (don't worry he explained to us why that was safe); on one hand every kid immediately thought that must have been the result of some nuclear accident (it wasn't, it's a birth condition, thanks mom for being a great doctor), but on the others it showed us how people can still live a normal life and pursue a carrer nevertheless.

[@girlleavemealone--]

since hansel and gretel are most likely named after the fairytale of the same name, and hansel mentions getting into candyland at the end of the song, the witches' house/"candyland" is probably symbolic of how they were treated post-mortem. they both only got what they wanted after the end of their life. this may be a bit of a stretch, but the witch in the fairytale tried to stuff hansel with sweets to fatten him up while gretel got barely anything to eat. which pretty much matches up with how hansel was happy to get all the attention he wanted at his funeral while gretel was just happy to finally be left alone. it also explains why gretel references baking so much, since in the fairytale she helped make all the food i believe. edit: gretel also mentions how she "came out of the oven too seasoned," im not entirely sure what that symbolizes but the fairytale gretel *was* supposed to get locked in an oven before she yknow pushed the witch in instead [edited again: misheard lyrics]

[@itsalwaysnight1008]

id like to point out the way hansel and gretel are voiced!! gretel seems to have a soft, feminine voice. you could even describe it as whiny by the way she pronounces things (ex: "ward off great evil" and "it shouldnt be you the one who's feeling bad"). she has a couple of voice cracks. in certain spots, you can even hear her voice tremble. there's also several moments where her pitch gets higher and/or her voice gets softer ("i in fact, in light of this, became your painting canvas") and it takes her a couple of moments to get back to her regular tone. hansel sounds more like sodikken's usual singing style, but he cuts himself off more (like how he starts singing the next line while he's singing "or maybe three") and uses a warbly voice much more often than other songs. in the verse about his sister, he pronounces his lines with a hiss. his voice also has this certain "spiral"-y quality to it where his pitch sounds completely uncontrolled that i dont think any other songs have. i dont know if this was intentional or not, but the siblings actually start to sound like each other during specific parts of their song. hansel's voice gets softer and/or higher when he admits in a straightforward manner how lonely or depressed he feels ("i bought you flowers, you threw them away" / "i like bike riding, it *can* be exciting..." / "how i long for your arms again" / "all this could have been avoided, all i wanted was to talk"). however, he doesn't do this very often. on the other hand, gretel gains a warbly, unconyrolled tone several times in her song. this mostly happens when it seems like she's either mocking someone who insulted her or being aggressive ("worse than that, i'll steal all the chocolate out of all your chocolate chip cookies! purposefully misplace your keys, be the reason why you sneeze..." / "for someone who looks like an animal, i'm rather picky" / "you, though, had no problem tearing life and limb from ted and jim"). these are all details that i thought were pretty neat :]

[@itzmari3234]

THAT'S SO COOOL OMG UR OBSERVATIONS AWESOME

[@schwammi]

*Theory for the story/relationship of these two siblings WARNING: it's kinda long :p* I have a theory that both Hansel and Gretel are partially either talking directly to or at least responding to each other within their songs. One thing I find interesting that I've noticed is that there seems to be somewhat of a theme of "believing" that both of them sing about (Gretel more so than Hansel I think, but still) with which they seem to be directly addressing or referncing the other. Hansel: "I might lose me a leg or head, maybe you would believe me then" Gretel: "So you don't believe me, well I'll make it easy.." "wish I did but I don't believe him" "All I want is a quiet evening, and now you're telling me that my dream is not one worth believing in?" It really feels like an argument theare having, maybe resemlbing confrontations they had with each other while alive. The point being argued seems to be who has it "worse" (or maybe even in general, not believing the other had it bad at all, since it seems like both of them desired what the other had), probably incited by Hansel being somewhat like "You should be grateful to have all this attention on you. I wish I had your life. Getting negative attention is at least better than being forgotten by everyone" with Gretel countering in some way that "This is isn't something anyone would ever wish for. Nobody's even nice to me, I wish I could just be let alone by everyone" (Also though not literally involving the word "believe" I would also still group in here the line from Hansel where he goes "That there's my sister, that big facial blister, yeah you couldn't miss her. Her pity getting scheme" which I'd say implies that he believes she's actually doing this on purpose and not believing that she's actually in pain) In general, Gretel's song to me seems like she's trying to defend or explain herself to her brother, especially those allegations of her not being in pain, doing things on purpose and generally the envy he feels towards her. "It's not the effect of poison ivy, I go hiking carefully" and "Not my fault my body's spots resemble dried apricots" both possibly being a way for her to express "I'm not doing this on purpose, there's no "scheme". I didn't choose this, why would anybody ever choose this?" Also with "hate my buds, just because, there's not enough room for us" and "It shouldn't be you, the one who's feeling bad, not with all your intact arteries" I think she is again addressing Hansel directly. Basically telling him how unfair he's being for demonizing her for something that not just wasn't her choice, but she also suffers from. I also feel like Gretel, besides having been bullied, has also faced abuse. And even though it might be a stretch and I don't know if there's much to back it up, but I feel like maybe her brother (or also her father) was also verbally or even physically abusive to her. "With red gloves, all you touch certainly will get marked up, I in fact, in light of this, became your painting canvas" I've seen some people relate that line in particular back to Hansel's "Just red paint? Babe, this ain't pretend" and basically being her not taking him seriously in his endeavors, which I still think can be true but Gretel's line also could be a metaphor for physical abuse (one that I heard used quite a number of times before) But at the same time it could just be symbolizing how Hansel in his head created his own narrative of her being an "attention seeker" and demonizing her. "It's me against you and dad, not afraid to punch him back" I think that line makes it clear that did very much suffer either physical abuse (literal punching) or, still, verbal abuse (metaphhorical punching so to speak) from either her father or brother, or maybe even both. I also noticed how neither of them mention their mother and Hansel has some lines like "how I long for your arms again" which could maybe mean their mother died or left them. Possibly her disappearence had somewhat something to do with Gretels condition, leading their father to let out his anger and frustation about it on Gretel in forms of verbal/physical abuse and then Hansel, with his distorted view of reality, interpreting that, as well as part of the "attention he never got" In conclusion, they both hate each other deeply and wish only the worst for the other. Probably because they both had what the other wanted and lack of empathy to truly understand the other's struggle, even though I have to say after listening to both songs I'm siding more with Gretel cause it seems like he kinda was a real jerk to her and that she still tried to be nice and understanding for a while until it all got too much and she eventually snapped. There's much, much, much more but I don't really know how to put all my thoughts into words here properly and also it would make my commment a bit too long. But in case you read through all of it: thank you for time, and please feel free to your thoughts with on this! :)

[@redcraddle1515]

I have the same thoughts! I also may have something to add! There is also a reference of Gretel's lines (possibly directly to Hansel) with "Eating my own kind is against my beliefs. You, though, had no problem tearing life and limb from limb from Ted and Jim so Made of stone your heart must be"... A reference to the song "People eater" and that Hansel is a people eater. Hansel probably had friends called Ted and Jim but since he is a people eater, they left him and now he is whining about being alone and not having attention. People had a good reason not wanting to connect to him. I also noticed in Hansel's song he focused more on just his misery and how he hated his sister and is proud of self sabotage for the sake of attention and continued demonizing his sister in such wrong reasons. He was purposefully making her look like the bad guy -- but in Gretel's song we may have found out more about his true self and why no one wanted to give him attention. He was a terrible person, but Hansel wouldn't confess that, no? That would ruin his 'pity grabbing' song. Awful.

[@a9Isi93kw]

@@redcraddle1515 no, people eater has nothing to do with hansel or gretel. hansel didn't get attention because of gretel, but also because he was never taught how to properly interact with other people "coffee and peppermint tea, brewing instructions engraved on leaves" coffee doesnt have leaves,which symbolizes hansel , peppermint tea has leaves so it can be brewed (other people have been taught how to properly interact with one another , coffee leaves dont have the right materials to be brewed and even if they could it wouldnt taste very good, he cant "brew"(interact) well with other people "symbols that i cant read" even if he wanted to he cant understand how to interact with others properly in hansel's song, he says "i THINK i hate her" (referring to gretel) which clearly implies that hansel does not actually hate gretel. he pities himself because no one else will. that line in gretel's song was likely referring to their father, because it is implied that he's physically abusive "it's me against you and dad not afraid to punch him back", that line didnt apply that hansel ever physically hurt gretel, either. the "you" is clearly referring to hansel, if it had been referring to hansel it would say "its me against you and dad, not afraid to punch YOU back" it's not right that neither of them cared to acknowledge each other's problems. but when you've got your own demons to face, its difficult to help others.

(In response to everyone saying it was definitely the knife) Well yeah but I myself was confused on how she died because in Hansel’s song he began to face away when he talked about his death, whereas she faded away after the knife talk not during. It could just be because they were supposed to fade away at the end of the song and not necessarily when they speak about their death, but I do wonder that if it was the knife attack why she continued to mention mangos n all that. As well if it was the mango pit that killed her what purpose speaking of the knife attack was about. Just some stuff I was thinking about lol :)

[@fricc_picc]

my theory is that the fade implies their satisfaction/end of suffering, and that gretel didn’t actually die. hanzel’s fade was when his funeral was sung about, and he finally got the attention he wanted. however, gretel’s supposed death cause, the knife attack didn’t cause the fade. instead, she faded at the “looks can’t kill but they can get you disowned” lyric. i’m assuming she got disowned by her parents and finally found the peace and quiet she wanted by living by herself and away from society. edit: i just realized she also says “just kidding you’re probably walking the other way” after talking about the knife attack, so it didn’t even happen, she was just talking about hypotheticals

YES, OF COURSE Fairy, goblin, unicorn Point me the way with your horn So you Don't believe me Well I'll make it easy I'll burst open the seams With you standing next to me What look like raisins Are plastered on my skin Naturally occurring Monster making condition It's not the effect of poison ivy I go hiking carefully How come they want me on tv? Am I really that much of a freak? Why ever would I come out of hiding When nobodies nice to me? How could anyone think I'm lovely When they retch at the sight of me? I'd like to get groovy To drink a mango smoothie I'd like to watch a movie with-out Everyone, and the sun, Telling me that I look dumb Hate my buds Just because there's not enough room for us They forced to eat ice Then I broke my teeth and cried Jekyll, Hyde, Dragon, Slime, the only ones who are kind Not my fault my body's spots Resemble dried apricots Beedo, Appadeebin, Wish I did but I don't believe him All I want is a quiet evening And now you're telling me my dream's not one that's worth believing in? Eedo, Appigo Appadeeben Yeah I'm ugly but there is a reason I came out of the oven too seasoned Sometimes there's a casserole that just isn't worth eating I imagine self-worth and inner peace Tastes like artificial cherry No, Wait Maybe more like ice cream Either way I really could use some flavouring Come one everybody, come one come all The circus clown has dropped the ball HOW ABOUT WE GIVE HER A FACE FULL OF PIE For some reason, in return, you'd still expect a smile And, whenever you get mad I'm your walking punching bag Can your conscience handle that? It shouldn't be you, the one who's feeling bad Not with all your intact arteries I'd like to get groovy To drink a mango smoothie I'd like to watch a movie with-out Everyone, and the sun, Telling me I'm not enough Why would enjoy this? No, I'm not a masochist With red gloves, all you touch All you touch will get marked up I in fact, in light of this, Became your painting canvas It's me against you and dad, Not afraid to punch him back Happen to want to get hurt badly? Then go ahead an try messing with me I assure you I'll split you to atoms for free Worse than that, I'll steal all the cholate out your dear chocolate chip cookies Purposely misplace you keys, Be the reason why you sneeze When I say green you think of cheese, But in my mind, I'm picturing some fresh tangerines You takes pictures, I'll fake a smile, Through gritting teeth you might surmise it's not the same But you know that I won't play your game Wasted all your day and let me get away with it If you look like me, don't go out at night To a man on edge, you could give a fright And in self defence, he'll take out a knife Wouldn't want to cause a scene Looking like it's time for me to fly away, Maybe I'll see you another day Sike, you're probably going the other way So give a smother to my brother when you see him, okay? Luckily on my diet, I don't eat meat For someone who looks like an animal, I'm rather picky Not a monster 'cus I don't hate babies, I don't skip cut-scenes Eating my own kind is against my beliefs You, though, had no problem tearing life and limb from Ted and Jim so Made of stone your evil heart must be Could be that your cup of love is filled with liquid savagery O-o-oh yippadie dee oh yippadie doh doh, Went to the potluck with scones You wont take any home, I know But I suppose maybe I just want to do some baking Take it from me, looks couldn't kill, no, But they can get you disowned WE WON'T LOOK AT HER! is that so?

That's what I was thinking too, and it fits in with the section where Gretel talks about how "eating my own kind is not in my beliefs" (since, people eater) which could be a metaphor for how she doesn't like to be mean to people, despite her upbringing and everyone surrounding her always abusing or ridiculing her

[@jordanquersher6659]

I feel like Gretel doesn’t fade out at the part where she’s stabbed because she doesn’t die. She lived and took the guy who stabbed her out because she snapped like the straw that broke the camels back. Because she killed a man and lived she was disowned by her family and now she lives her days alone and ignored by everyone for what she’s done happily alone like how she always wanted but it doesn’t take away the pain of what led her there. Aka this isn’t how I planned my life turning out but hey at least I’m somewhat happy to finally not be stared at. Edit: I realized also that the characters gretel and Hansel are drawn as the way they view themselves. Gretel views herself as some mythical unicorn, griffin goblin monster so that’s what she looks like and she’s bright and colorful so there isn’t a way to not notice her which is how she feels about her skin condition. Hansel is a gross, neutral toned green, sickly looking rat because that’s how he feels about himself. A rodent that is never looked at. Small and insignificant with nothing that makes you want to look at him.

Sodikken has dropped the ball

[@BR44INZ]

That part is SO GOOD

[@kyles2763]

Fun fact I noticed: The backgrounds of each of the songs (Hansel and Gretel) both relate to what each character wanted to get. Hansel's background has 2 stars, and he wanted attention from everyone. And, in Gretel's, it's a heart, because all she wanted was for people to love/like or just to stop hating/harrassing/judging her overall. This is actually a pretty nice detail and shows how much Soddikken plans out their stuff.

[@pokenerd265]

something i noticed when i downloaded the songs is that on the album cover for the two songs show the characters shoved into like normal clothing in a way they don’t fit,which feels like it’s kind of a metaphor for there parents trying to make them look normal while both kids are clearly suffering from a lot of stuff? it might also just be an aesthetic choice but idk

[@starlighttheorist2683]

Hansel is stuck in the stomach of a suit like he's been eaten (if you interpret Hansel literally and align it with the Hansel and Gretel story it's implied he was eaten by the witch), and Gretel is escaping her dress, ripping through it with her tongue in the air (if you take Gretel literally she says her spots are from being cooked wrong and was unfit to eat, implying the witch released her or she escaped, and throughout the rest of the song there are allusions that she has become a witch, just one that refuses to eat people, but she feels the need to justify this by saying she's on a diet and it's against her beliefs, like she's tempted to)

[@MagicalGirlFia]

The songs combined are about two siblings: Hansel and Gretel. Gretel was born with some sort of birth defect,giving her boils or spots on her skin,leading for her getting attention from her parents and those around her-although the attention was negative. Very negative. All she wanted was to be by herself and she hated the attention that she got,but her brother saw it a different way. He wanted what she had-even though it made her life hell it was better than how he was ignored by everyone (in his eyes at least) He started pulling stunts (like playing with fire,hurting himself) and finally riding his bike off a cliff in the hopes that even if he survived he’d get the same attention his sister got. Of course his family was very distraught at this. Based on some hints they (their parents) could’ve disowned Gretel,and she ended up getting attacked and killed by a man in an alley who mistook her for an animal. It honestly seems like both of them went to heaven,and are singing the song about their lives. Some lyrics reference lyrics in other songs,possibly representing them arguing with each other about how neither of them actually went to hell. In the end though,both of them only got what they truly wanted after their deaths.

[@teffley2766]

Here's an interesting little motif I noticed: In Gretel's song, she says this: "When I say green, you think of cheese, but in my mind I'm picturing fresh tangerines". The cheese could represent death and decay, whereas the fresh tangerines could represent life and hope. In Hansel's song, he mentions "green alligators" (wishing they had eaten Gretel) and a "green luscious island" (not sure about this one). He also says "just like flies are drawn to the rotting cheese, are sadists attracted to misery, in this case it's another word for me". Seeing as Gretel explicitly says in her song "no, I'm not a masochist" and sadism and masochism go hand in hand, I think this implies Hansel sees himself as a masochist and sees Gretel as a sadist, who enjoys watching him suffer. This is all probably a bit of a stretch, but I figured I'd share it anyway! Edit: A couple of things I missed-- In one line, Hansel quite literally says "though pain's rather tasty." How did I miss that? Green is the color of envy. Gretel's hat is green, and Hansel's fur is green as well. In the beginning of Gretel's song, it sounds like she's playing pretend, maybe as a child, or reflecting how her song sounds very childish. Is Hansel the older brother? It sounds like they used to get along, too: "will you guide me?" Says Gretel, and Hansel says "yes, of course." But also, she says "was I born to be tortured?" As she says this, a smaller, quieter voice sings along to this. Definitely Hansel! There's so much more I could speculate and theorize on, but I'm trying to keep this comment focused to prevent it becoming too long and unreadable. Feel free to add your ideas in the replies :) (Copied from my comment on Hansel)

Wait there's a second voice on the "was i born to be tortured" line?! **replays that part at max possible volume** I've listened to this song like 50 times! How did i miss that!?!

[@Yeah-I-am-Me]

The beginning I think she is talking about her birth because she says she is approaching a door. she also said "I'll burst open the seams with you standing next to me" I think this is her being born (ew) followed by her describing her condition, her being born being the first time it was seen. I also think this song is sung to her mom.

[@starlighttheorist2683]

Very interesting! When I thought about the line in Gretel about others thinking of cheese but her thinking of specifically *unripe* tangerines, I figured it might be significant that cheese is aged and the oranges aren't yet mature. I noticed if you take the lyrics literally a lot of them seem to allude to Gretel being some kind of witch that just refuses to eat people, and the witch from the Hansel and Gretel story does eat kids, humans that aren't yet mature.

[@pinkmintX3]

I like how the background can be interpreted as what they wanted. You could argue that Gretel's heart represents her wish for love and Hansel's star represents his wish for attention. I love much work sodikken put into this and all of their music :)

one small thing I noticed is that Gretel seems to find solace in books and fantasy, after all fictional characters can't be mean to her, and are willing to keep her company, they won't judge her, ridicule her, or make false promises

[@stardustsoul5582]

I like to see Hansel and Gretel as a kind of extrovert vs. introvert kind of thing. Hansel's an extrovert that wants to be noticed and be the center of attention, but nobody seems to bat an eye. Gretel's an introvert that wants to live quietly and peacefully, alone, but due to people bullying her and bothering her because of her looks, she can't seem to get that. It's like poetry, they rhyme.

[@naztthejazzgal2533]

Alright, I've listened to both songs a lot of times, I've read the original tale, I've analized the designs of the siblings and there goes some details that a o lot of people are missing for their theories (I won't be doing one myself) 1. There is no evidence that they are twins, so I think the atention seeking from Hänsel would be a major efect of having a little sister with so many needs. 2. There wasn't any evidence or metaphor of Gretel dying, so I don't think that them disapearing from the video means death but the reaching of what they want. 3. In the original tale the witch was actually their mother, so I believe that they're actually singing to her. This explains the lyric "just me vs you and dad" and the "How I long for your arms again" in Hänsel's song. 4. Gretel's song happens just after Hänsel's and that's why she doesn't mention him that much. 5. Both siblings were conscious about each others problems, dreams and point of view but always thought that they were having the worst time like It was a game of who is suffering more. (I wish everything was understandable, I'm sorry for the gramatical fails I'm hispanic)

I noticed how the Hansel song gets more attention, also connecting with "hey go and give my brother attention" and the amount of people that actually go to listen to that song makes it seem almost intentional, whereas, the Gretel song is hardly noticed or used by few, which is something very really cool!

[@KarpKore.]

I kinda get the theory that Gretel died by knife attack but when looking at Hansel's song, when he talks about his death his character slowly fades out. With Gretel with doesn't happen until around 6:25. Plus at the end of the song she talks about blending up a mango (which I've seen some people relate to suicide) and being back home (afterlife?? Idk). Either way this song is boppin'

I kind of find it interesting almost nobody's talking about this line from Gretel's song: "Happen to wanna get hurt badly? Then go ahead and try messing with me." I think what Gretel is saying is that she knows Hansel is purposefully hurting himself, and Gretel thinks it's stupid that Hansel is reacting like this. I have a feeling Gretel also implies she would purposefully hurt Hansel if she could, but she doesn't because she doesn't want to hurt Hansel even more.

I noticed something (its pretty small but its a nice addition whether on purpose or not) When Hansel is describing how he died, he faded at the same time. Gretel didn't fade out until a little bit AFTER she explained what killed her. Personally, I think this is just saying that Hansel died instantly while Gretel died slowly. Hansel would have preferred a slow death considering up that would've drawn a bit of attention to him while he was still alive and Gretel would've preferred an instant death as that means she would have gotten her time alone sooner.

[@Lia-td17]

I think otherwise. If the attention she is getting is bullying and abuse while Hansel is practically begging for the attention Gretel is having, she is basically wishing that the bullying transferred to him, either so he would feel the pain she's feeling or so she would be able to live peacefully while Hansel gets exactly what he asked for, and not in good intentions too. Gretel is most likely pissed that Hansel is telling her(through his lyrics) that she should feel lucky

Besides, if you listen to the lyrics, 5:42 she's saying after she got stabbed she's flying away(going to heaven) 5:49 and then saying the person she's talking to is probably going the other way(hell) and to smother her brother when they see him, she's picturing her brother in hell.

Ok so new theory: We already know that she suffers from some sort of acne, as referring to when she says "What look like raisins are plastered on my skin" At 4:05 she states about the red glove and in which she becomes a canvas, which I think is supposed to go together with Hansel's response to it where he says "Just red paint? Babe, this ain't pretend." Which either means that they fought a lot about Hansel's "stunts" or that she is beaten by others and he slowly kills himself for attention. At 4:21 to 4:40 Gretal starts talking about fighting back, and first I think it with Hansel and their father, and then doing things to annoy people but it gets worse, saying to steal and misplace your stuff, and then gossiping. Then there's the part where she gets stabbed, I don't think she died as it doesn't fade out like Hansel's but I think she kills the man out of her own self defense or just because she's angry and can't think straight as she well, was stabbed. And by her being killed it would cause a bigger scene as she was already asked to be on the news and other things and usually when people who are seen or people know about them, they are more likely to show up on the news and so by killing this random man there's less attention. This she kinda talks about when she says she doesn't eat meat and that he'll see her brother in the underworld. And then she says that "eating my own kind is against my beliefs." Then she makes scones/biscuits or some type of food, I think made out of the man. And tries to give them out, but no one will take them as either they look gross or they just don't want them. But lastly by saying that looks don't kill but get her disowned is what I happened to her . She was disowned because she looked worse than before. Maybe the man had stabbed her more than once, and maybe hit her face. Lastly, I can't fully understand the meaning of the last part. In Hansel's he disappears first and then it shows the aftermath of his death. But for Gretel she disappears at around 6:50 and it goes into that she's made it home and has friends but she also gets her alone time. I can't tell if she's died, in prison or in hiding, (as I think she killed the man and is either killing more or trying to atone in silence) or she's dead. Though she could be referring to other people and not necessarily be with them. This is just my theory though and won't make the most sense to everyone so if you need clarifying, just ask.

[@TheLibby1979]

When she says "I've become your painting canvas"i think actually she went to get surgery to get rid of her skin condition but the surgery went wrong and people (her dad,hansel etc)made fun of her,angering her and like you said killing the man,I also think that she ended up in a relationship but not knowing how to express love with her whole childhood thing shes wasting her partners time and hiding their stuff and stealing things then her partner breaks up with her and now she has been "rewarded" for her actions with time alone

(It even says “there’s a part of me that’s appealingly sweet, I’m sure you’d agree if you got to know me” in Hansel’s song and “it’s me against you and dad, not afraid to punch him back” in Gretels song.)

That's nice

[@amazinglyaverage412]

True! I really liked Hansel’s last bit in his song(it was the better of the two) but I like gretal more as a person because she seems way nicer

[@thewizardoffrog9211]

[@this_is_lol_man]

Well he's dead so that doesn't matter anymore lol

[@kayz858]

gretel deserves just as much love as hansel's song got

[@oliveoil5360]

i dont think she would want the attention /j

[@plushcentric]

Hansel only got so much attention because of the lyrics "Whole garden of flowers and my name etched on a rock" Which was a trending sound on tiktok and KZbin so I think that's why.

The mango smoothie isn’t a good thing. It’s (potassium cy@n!d3) which if you eat it it kills you. So it’s pretty much commiting unaliving her self

[@microwave84]

Give her a REAL mango smoothie.. not death’s drink.

[@nyxcat3621]

At 2:15 I think she’s talking about Hansel, especially because in Hansel’s song there’s a lyric that says “just red pain? Babe this ain’t pretend” and judging by the lyric “if you see my brother give him a smother” hansel dies before the end of gretel’s song

[@ElijahzAcc]

Y e s

[@IristheInkWing]

can we just appreciate how beautiful the part where it says “the circus clown has dropped the ball” is?

[@StromcloudStrawberry]

"Why would i ever come out of hiding" vs hansel's "i know it might seem crazy but im going out of hiding" kinda seems like an argument

[@SunnyD_28]

Another fun detail is that in Hansel’s animation, the background is a star, that shows his desire to be liked and remembered, like a movie star or celebrity. Meanwhile Gretel has a heart, that shows that she wants to be loved regardless of her condition.

[@ratsodaa]

some things i noticed after listening to both this, and hansel for quite literally hours each: Her and Hansel have VERY similar colour palettes expect Gretels colours are lighter Hansel is dead in this song, and Gretel probably didn't like him or atleast knew he was jealous of her by implying he went to hell. 5:32 Theyre walking away one another. showing again that they didn't like or care for each other at all. They resented each other When they died and faded away Hansel disappeared WAY quicker than Gretel. Its probably showing that how soon people forgot about them. way more people would remember Gretel than to Hansel. Gretel sings before Hansel does, once again showing that more people paid attention to Gretel. In Hansels song he starts off with "I like bike riding it's oh so exiting. much better than fighting will all who come near me. Which is referencing Gretel who fights back. I think Gretel survived the self defense because she doesnt start to fade until 6:24 In conclusion. Both songs are bangers and sodikken is a fantastic artist :)

[@AlphaTengua]

i think she fought back and killed her killer with her, because she said looking to get hurt then mess with me ill fight back

[@tvm8997]

I don't know if this matters, but the stencil/shape in the paper for Hansel is a star and Gretel's is a heart. I wonder if that means that while Hansel wishes for the stardom Gretel gets, Gretel just wants love.

[@et4313]

3:00 ~ 3:09 Gretel might have Epidermolysis Bullosa (butterfly skin), in which blister-like tumors grow everywhere and even in the lining of the esophagus. Which explains why she can’t eat the ice, and also the fact that she thinks inner peace tastes like artificial cherry or ice cream. She doesn’t even know what those taste like, she only knows they’re sweet.

[@WilliamAftonOfficial_]

but why is she actually pretty though- like she says she ugly in the song, a freak, etc but sodikkens design of her is so well done its crazy-

I like the fact she's like aware of her brother's passing, but somewhat ignorant, which is understandable:D

[@switchedaccountsmoveon]

Theory: The creatures in Hansel/Gretel's music videos are not them, they're just the creatures that symbolize their personalities/they way they are the creature in Gretel's MV has eyes on it's tongue, symbolizing that Gretel sees more than she speaks. possibly a hint of verbal abuse/ or just emotional abuse in general and possibly symbolizing that gretel has witnessed many strange/scary things in her life, but had yet to tell anyone about it. (was either threatened not to tell anyone or can't speak up due to the constant bullying) Explaining: "you though, had no problem tearing life and limb from ted and jim so.."

[@Misscuddles326]

Yeah but what about hansel? What does his stands for?

[@tivthetat7067]

@@Misscuddles326 He’s a rat with wings. Rats are typically hated and not wanted around. ‘Rat with wings’ is also a typical nickname for a pidgeon, a type of creature that is overlooked and hated even though they are very sweet creatures. (I’m not good at theorizing so this is the best I got lmao)

[@Hamsterniki05]

Gretel says the line where it mentions her brother and it finishes at around 5:56. Hansels song is 5 minutes and 56 seconds. No one gave Hansel a smother(or whatever that is idfk) because when Gretel said that his song finished and that he's already dead... While Hansels song mentions his sister at the beginning, however he goes on and on about her getting pity Hansel thinks that Gretel's attention is getting pitied but actually it's the opposite, while Gretel thinks Hansel didn't get attention at all while he gets lots of attention in the form of a 'party' for his funeral

[@ephemeralpetrichor4474]

i thought it was really interesting how in Hansel's video he referred to himself as a piece of meat in death, but in Gretel's video she pictures herself eating meat in death, or rather, clarifies that she can't. not sure what it means but i thought it was cool

[@cookiecutter5176]

Poor Gretel. She deserves some delicious mango smoothies and awesome movies. She sings a boppin' song though.

The mango smoothie is a metaphor for suicide.

[@creaturecosmo8015]

I love that you posted Gretel first with the description that she's your second full length, while Hansel came second even though he was your first full song. Gretel coming first even to the viewers/listeners/subscribers. It's a really cool detail !!

[@EspoirDuVide]

this is hypnotic ♥♥♥

[@Preppyllama123]

“happen to want to get hurt badly? then go ahead and try messing with me” i feel like something gretel told hansel, since in his song he sang about sh and also his own death because of depression, and also because gretel always felt like people harmed her just because of her looks and she never got to feel peaceful for the insecurities people inflicted in not only her, but also hansel i feel so bad for both of them bc one died and celebrated his death for people finally gave him attention but gretel felt like she might explode with the pressure since she felt that everything, even the air, was telling her she was bad looking 😭😭😭

[@leadershipoffender4459]

If gretel died by bleeding to death with no one with her then she would get her dream of having a quiet evening.

[@or3oblitz]

can we take a moment to appreciate how good it sounded when they said "has dropped the ball" at 3:14 like it's so pleasing to hear everything I listen to this song

[@defokochu]

Also if you play the songs at the same time, when Gretel finishes that line, Hansel’s song ends.

When you drag the video length bar and watch the little screen that pops up it's a slow version of the same animation. Pretty neat

[@RetroRageasaurus]

The face is awesome but the legs got crazy XD

[@asagothe_fander]

4:07 “with red gloves, all you touch, certainly will get marked up. I infact, In light of this, became your painting canvas” We have a line coming from the song Hanzel that actually contradicts the idea that the gloves are covered in paint. “just red paint? babe this ain’t pretend, _how I long for your arms again._ I might lose me a leg or head, maybe you would believe me then!” I’m believing these are two parts of the same conversation, I might be wrong and this might be asleep but what if the red gloves aren’t gloves covered in red paint but it’s actually blood on her brothers hands from him and she’s thinking it’s a harmless stunt… Neither of the siblings are good to each other, But I just wanted to point this out because I only just now noticed this lyric in the song though I noticed the lyric and Hansel

[@Fizzilie]

I can't believe nobody noticed gretel is constantly biting her tongue throughout the video on her animation and metaphorically because of all the mistreatment and harassment for no reason would definitely make her wanna say some things to people who unreasonably hate her. This happens until she dies and speaks much more of her mind than just asking why this is happening to her. I flipping love how much detail sodikken puts into their art, and i am super excited for the show they're making.
