Something that I noticed; Gretel: "I'm not a m@sochist" Hansel: "Pain's rather tasty"

[@justsomerandomartist3897]

Yeah! The irony is definitely there lol. I mean, that line with Gretel is kind of directly to Hansel since he envies her since she gets attention, even if it was negative. She doesn’t like all this negative attention, saying she’s not a m@sochist, not understanding how and why her brother craves this.

I surprised how no one had brought up Hansel’s design. It is a rat with rings, another name for a pigeon. In some people’s eyes, they’re easy to overlook. To others, they can be an unwanted sight. They’re seen as dirty, useless and diseased, when in reality they’re gentle and clean (thus the part of him that’s appealingly sweet)

I think it’s interesting that Gretel’s song hardly mentions her brother, and you would have to hear his song to even know she had one and their relationship . But Hansel’s song mentions her directly as a point of suffering. Showing how obsessed he is over the attention she gets, he even says her source of struggle is her “pity scheme”.

[@aendra6495]

It's sad that even in their songs Gretel is the one getting more unwanted attention

[@maddscraft5459]

Gretel actually *does* mention her brother and expresses that she does not like him. "You're probably going the other way, so give a smother to my brother when you see him, okay?" Based on context from previous lines, "the other way" seems to refer to hell, showing how much she dislikes him, even expecting to end up in hell, even if _this_ song seems to point to him going to heaven.

I’m guessing Hansel would be jealous of his sister because she’d get all the attention because she was viewed as ugly, and she’d get hurt for that. Meanwhile he didn’t get any and would do ANYTHING to get attention. He just wants to be remembered. Since he’d do anything, he starts doing dangerous stuff and hurts himself. He doesn’t care that he’s harming himself, because he was never given enough attention until now. He’s never given attention even as he starts doing all of that. He likes his own funeral because he was finally given some attention. Give this man a hug. Man If anything I’d try being friends with him

[@eldritchabomination9726]

Adding to this, the lines "I bought you flowers, you threw them away" and "how i long for your arms again" people may outright hate him, adding to why he may want to hurt himself, as a way to maybe appease them?

It’s kinda ironic about how Hansel wants more attention than his sister but his song has 10k likes while gretel’s has 6k Edit: I’d also like to add something I noticed. In Gretel’s song, she critiques Hansel by saying things like “you shouldn’t be the one suffering, not with all your intact arteries” and also “why would I be enjoying this, I’m not a masochist”, while Gretel calls her disease a “pity scheme” and wants her to be eaten by alligators. Both don’t think the other’s illness is real/serious (Hansel’s illness being mental, Gretel’s illness being physical), which leads to them hating each other.

One thing I don't know if anyone's mentioned yet is that Hansel's fading is MUCH quicker than Gretel's. I think this is a brilliant allusion to the differences about their deaths; Gretel was left to slowly bleed out after getting stabbed, while Hansel's death was a much quicker affair. Both got what they wanted in the end though because of it. Hansel's death was too quick for anyone to do anything to save him, so he was surrounded by people caring about him for the first time, and Gretel got to be quietly alone for the first time. Very tragic, beautiful story telling.

The contrast between 'if there's a party today it's not coming my way' and 'finally a party just for me' probably means all Hansel wanted was to be loved and seen by someone.

[@DeepSeaWorm]

I think the design of the character on screen represents how Hansel feels about himself in the song. His sister gets all the attention so he starts doing stupid and dangerous things, all to get noticed by people. In this way he is a clown (red nose), or a jester (the jester hat). He talks about things like "breathing fire", like dragons (dragon wings). I'm sure there are other similarities so if you find any, just tell me I'd love to know!! :) (THIS SONG IS AWESOME BTW!!!!!)

[@eveleen.]

He has a rat's tail legs and whiskers which might represent him feeling like a lab rat doing dangerous stuff so others don't have too. Lab rats are unnamed and forgotten for the most part so that might also be him feeling like he's being unannounced doing all these dangerous stunts. I'm not really good at making theories

There’s such a stark difference in content with Hansel and Gretel’s songs. If you only watch Hansel’s, you’d think Gretel is a attention seeker who purposely takes the spotlight from her brother who needs help, but if you watch Gretel’s you’d see the attention she’s given is because people think she’s a freak due to her condition. I find it fitting that Hansel turned into a ghost (him being able to see his own funeral and even the memorial they made for him) while Gretel ended up in Hell with the monsters (Referencing that she’s somewhere with cannibals, and in the beginning of her song she asks why she’s in Hell). Both siblings wanting opposite things, when this all could’ve been avoided had they just looked towards each other for comfort. Hansel would’ve understood the reason for Gretel’s attention and even would’ve gotten attention from her, While Gretel could be around someone who doesn’t view her as a monster and instead a person.

[@AugustisHeree]

5:16 “funny how much more you notice something you can’t see” hit me hard and is so true. Hansel was basically saying how he was jealous of how much attention Gretel was getting so he committed because he was tired of how little attention he gets. A lot of people came to his funeral but not a lot of people talked to him when he was still alive. This line means that people never gave him a lot of attention until his death and funeral because deaths are more serious.

[@trashcan1432]

Did anyone notice how they are walking in different directions? It could be the way Hansel walks to a loud, messy death with lots of attention and publicity. While Gretel walks the opposite way, to a quiet death in a dark place. She is finally “lost”/ignored. I don’t know I’m probably speculating about something that the creator didn’t mean

[@kiteflight]

Oh, heads up people think Gretel survived the stabbing!!! This is due to the fact that Hansel disappears as he finishes his final living verse, and Gretel remains on screen for the whole song.

[@kiteflight]

I would guess that it's a more life/death thing, but I agree with the idea that them walking in different directions would definitely mean something!!

[@craigbeddow5850]

I like how the background shape matches the characters. Hansel has a star, he always just wanted to have attention like a pop star and Gretel had a heart, she just wanted someone to love her The flamingos are seen as goofy with their long necks and skinny legs, Hansel would look goofy just so someone would look. In Gretel's she has bugs, bugs are seen as disgusting and weird. She also had roses(?), Roses are seen as romantic, again, she wanted someone to love her and not treat her like a punching bag.

[@BennyWorm_123]

Plus he literally says "pains rather tasty" 😭

[@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 :)

[@fishy658]

Wow!!

[@jennimai6741]

If we took this to consideration, cheese rotting is like a rotting corpse, and flies do attract to corpses as do other things. The line would then be transcribed to “Just like flies are attracted to rotting corpses, sadists are attracted to misery; in this case, it’s *another word for me.”* Another word can mean anything, but who exteriorly enjoys pain other than… a Masochist? Green Alligators can easily mean dead or fresh alligators, which both sound weird if they were to eat her.

[@kyle996]

I really like this comment it pointed out to me some pretty interesting connections between the songs and made me appreciate them more so thank you and in my opinion the 'no, I'm not a masochist' is her response to her brother thinking that she likes the attention she gets

[@bugaloo1060]

That is really interesting! Good catch! It also makes me think about how green is the color of envy, she could be saying she envies the fresh tangerines and maybe Hansel's "green alligators" are what he perceives as jealous people?

[@galaxylovesmemesmlg504]

woah

[@bunbiiee]

the tonal difference between "just red paint? babe, this aint pretend" and "how i long for your arms again" makes me think its at that point he realizes hes dying. he gets scared but cant let himself feel it considering how quickly he goes back to the bravado with "i might loose me a leg or head, maybe you would believe me then." as hansel's character dissappears from the screen we move into his funeral. "finally, a party just for me. in contrast to those attending, im quite happy." and "a whole garden of flowers and my name etched on a rock" being his tombstone and resting place.

[@nyxcat3621]

I think it’s not him realizing he’s dying, but him trying to convince others of it. His sister Gretel had a physical illness so people constantly had their attention on her. The just red paint, babe this ain’t pretend” and “maybe you would believe me then” is in regards to others dismissing his illness just because his sister has a more visible one

Random Hansel Info I collected from watching on repeat so many times: The beat drops at 0:02 Hansel starts singing at 0:18 (0:16 length) "THAT theres a part of me that's appealingly sweet" NOT "BUT theres a part of me that's appealingly sweet." (I've seen it) Rare end punctuation (not counting commas) when there is the question mark at "Remember Yesterday?" (1:18) Stops singing at 1:45 (1:27 length) Every four drum beats, there is a double cymbal tap, but only two in the music there is a double cymbal tap, but then it starts going four apart. Starts back singing at 2:10 (0:25 length) You can here a small shuffling after "and more until you remember me" at full volume in headphones at 2:25. There is also a 2 small drum beats there as well. Small tiny pause at (2:25 - 2:26) Another rare end punctuation (Again, not counting commas) is the exclamation mark at "OW!"(2:40) and the Question mark at "Oh what have I done?" (2:43 - 2:44) Stops singing at 3:31 22 hits of the piano Starts singing again at 3:43 (0:12 length) Yet another rare punctuation (Still not counting commas) at "Look see isn't it interesting?" (3:45 - 3:48) and "Is that not brave enough for you?" (3:50 - 3:53) and "Just red Paint?" (4:04 - 4:05) The lyrics say "As flies are draw to the rotting cheese" but google/spotify/etc. says "As flies are drawn to the rotting chees" Gets really soft and less aggressive at "How I long for your arms again" (4:07 - 4:09) Hansel starts fading away at 4:14 Hansel finishes fading away at 4:26 (0:12 length) Stops singing at 4:27 The small break at the end ends at 4:32 (0:06 length) The lyrics go "Got in Candyland I Paid I Paid the entrance fee." It says "A whole garden ON flowers" in the lyrics NOT "A whole garden OF flowers." Gets really light and less aggressive again at "A whole garden on flowers" Hansel stops singing at 5:36 The song ends at 5:56 (0:20 length) The last lyric is "me" Hansel has 623 words Hansel has 63 apostrophes, 60 that combine words (Google forgot to put an apostrophe at "A hot spring with its waters frozen over by your cold mentality" and didn't even do any of the 'cus's) If you uncombined the apostrophes, Hansel would have 683 words Hansel has 44 commas while Google says it only has 30 (Google is wrong) Hansel takes 264 steps

Woah! That's detailed and you made me replay the song quite a few times, aswell as Gretel's song to match them, Hansel uses Gretel as a reason he is suffering, meanwhile Gretel does not use Hansel as a suffering reason. I find it really cool how these two songs are connected, and I'm not sure if this also a reference to the story- but you can see Hansel is quite tired, his eyes are closing each time he takes a step, meanwhile Gretel's eyes bounce off the tounge and she seems more enthusiastic as she walks towards her death.

@@Gore_Fluffs. Yeah, His eyebags and closed eyes represent his sleep deprivation, i personally think its cause all of his stunts are tiring. Also other things about his design is his clown nose and jester hat, seen as a "silly" or "stupid" (me personally i love clowns a jesters) and i could see him using those to get his attention. Also the way he walks is like he's struggling to go on. He also walks like this, messy and loud, which could be seen as like a "I want attention or someone to look at me" walk. As for Gretel she walks very neatly and together, like shes trying to avoid the attention. She has many spots in her design as well, on her hat and body, to reference her body spots. Gretel seems more put together and neat while Hansel is more loud and messy.

[@Gore_Fluffs.]

@Hansel Wow I've never thought about that too much, it seems to fit their characters well, Hansel is an attention seeker meanwhile Gretel wishes to be alone with herself!

[@Code_Null]

What i think is extremely clever is that throughout this entire music video, you see the same exact walking cycle of the same exact character that, even whilst they contrast with the background so much and are desperately trying to be seen, you end up with your eyes wandering away from the character and onto other parts of the backgrounds. but when the character disappears, you NOTICE that, and it coincides with the verse about their funeral, which has the line "Funny how much more you notice something that you can't see." extremely fucking clever. Bravo.

Both hansel and gretel are portrayed as such depressed characters ; I think the line " how i long for your arms again " is something to do with hansel genuinely missing gretel. But the lines " A whole garden of flowers And my name etched on a rock All this couldve been avoided All i wanted was to talk. " Also have to do with gretel, its pretty obvious they dont hate eachother but just misunderstand eachother. Hansel sees gretel as the star child, always being given attention while he gets little to nothing And gretel sees hansel as an attention seeking lunatic. When in reality, Hansel just wants someone to see him as special and give him attention And gretel just wants someone to give her positive attention that doesnt pertain to her disease? disorder? whatever lol. And be able to give attention back without it feeling forced And, " I gave you a flower and you threw it away " could be a reference to the flower in gretels video/song. Just speculation ;D

[@teffley2766]

[@nyxcat3621]

I was just saying this! Gretel doesn’t think Hansel’s illness is real because his is mental, and he wasn’t bullied for it by others like Gretel was. Gretel’s illness was physical, and Hansel disregarded it because he thinks it’s a scheme to get attention. They hate each other for the thing that makes them similar

[@x_itzxl_x]

true , she said "i bought you flowers" but it still makes sense since theres multiple flowers in gretel's video.

[@itshere.run.6724]

It's the "I *think* I hate her" that seals the deal for me that Hanzel doesn't actually hate his sister. Resentful and envious? Yeah. But he doesn't hate her, if at the least because she's one of the few people who have paid attention to him in the past.

The lines "With myself I must play in this game of charades, 'cause there's no one to speak to the things I've got in my brain" just relates so much to me. Sometimes I find myself thinking "why doesn't anyone check up on me? Why don't my parents realize I'm probably not okay?" I've probably shown outward signs of something wrong with me, and yet I keep playing this game of charades to try and get everyone to understand that I'm not okay.

[@jamisonparker9914]

"How I long, for your arms again." Shows how much Hansel actually misses Gretel. Even though, je always rejected love from Gretel. "So give a smother to my brother when you see him, okay?" Shows how much Gretel wasnt being fake, just as Hansel had thought she was. Now they both miss eachother.

[@thetwofacedphantom53]

Swallowing swords now Too bad I don't know how I'm juggling knives, ow! Three fingers that cost me Oh what have I done A green luscious island It's covered in diamonds Far as the eye can see Lower the bar cuz I'm choking on stardust Becoming a carcass Though pains rather tasty Theres a part of me That's appealingly sweet I'm sure you'd agree If you got to know me And admittedly I'm Not that intresting But let you have what's mine If you just give me your time With myself I must play In this game of charades Cuz there's no one to speak to Of the things I've got in my brain There's nothing particular I need you to say At least care to see if I'm okay Watch me now play with pointy things Look see isn't it intresting No, you're not even listening Is that not brave enough for you? As flies are drawn to the rotting cheese Are sadists attracted to misery In this case That's another word for me So I'll boost the danger times two Or maybe three 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 Autumn leaves fail to break my fall Sticks and stones didn't care at all Skin and bones decorate the walls Think that's everything I can recall Finally, a party just for me In contrast with those attending, I'm quite happy Like your brains hard drives just Installed sympathy Judging by how much you cry, It's like you're draining your eyes Got in candyland, I paid the entrance fee Good thing no one tried to stop me Through my self-injury spree People, please You should be smiling If ya cared that much, Should of shown love 'Fore I became a piece of meat Hey come on let's up the vibrancy I want some sort of balloons And your tears can be the confetti Gone from living feces To your priority Funny how much more you notice something that you can't see?

Pretty interesting how Hansel keeps mentioning sweet things, candy, and corpses! Makes me think of the difference in how his teeth are yellow and Gretel's are white. Shows how he wants to gorge himself on attention while Gretel tries to keep herself as unnoticeable as possible and prefers fruits. She also claims that attention is like "ice cream". Ties a bit into the candy house theme of the original Hansel and Gretel story. Pretty cool attention to detail!

[@paellaperson6137]

In the actual story, the witch gave Hansel lots of food to fatten him up but Gretel was starved. If I remember correctly, she also helped cook most of the meals, which might be why Gretel mentions baking a lot in her songs.

[@Abugonsocialmedia]

(Copy pasted from my comment on the gretel song) 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.

This song shows how Hansel is jealous of the attention gretel is getting sue to her looks, this causes a mental breakdown and for him to commit suicide. The song Gretel shows no hate to her brother apart from the fact that he isn’t getting negative attention. She’s insecure about her looks and people making fun of it, makes her feel unworthy and she leaves home after being disowned. Both songs show a story that counters each other and I am here for it ❤

Hansel died from commiting a dangerous act involving falling from a building to gain attention. Extra stuff: Hansel had a star in there backround because they want to be the star like a popular person Gretel has a rose, rose=love or romance so it equals love and romance like she wanted One point in the song it seems like Hansel and Gretel started a conversation if you listen carefully.

Idk if anyone else also mentioned this but both Gretel and Hansel mention very specific colors ( green and red ), in Hansel’s song he mentions green alligators and in Gretel’s song she mentioned that Hansel thinks of cheese when she says green, and going back to Hansel here, he mentions rotting cheese so green is most probably associated with death / deadly things. and for red, Gretel says the lines “ with red gloves all you touch certainly will get marked up, I in fact, in light of this became your painting canvas. “ and in Hansel’s song he says “ Just red paint babe this ain’t pretend. “ thought I’d mention it

[@FridgeOnBread]

Red can be seen as the color of bravery, which Hansel actually mentions in the line "Is that not brave enough for you?" Red can also be seen as blood or bloodshed, which, after the previously mentioned line, Hansel dies, which I think is interesting.

ive noticed that hansel fades faster than gretel, and im thinking maybe thats how long it took for them to die, hansel died fast, too fast for anyone to do anything meanwhile gretel on the otherhand died slowly, she was left to slowly die after being stabbed, but the two both got what they wanted in the end, hansel got the attention he had been yearning for and gretel had got to be left alone

00:19 "much better than fighting with all who come near me" dysfunctional household? They talk about their sister "that there's my sister yeah you couldn't miss her, that big facial blister, her pity getting scheme). They strongly dislike and are jealous of their sister as she seems to get attention "pity getting scheme". 00:42 "I think I hate her, those green alligators I wish they had ate her, if that happened you'd see". Notice how they say "I think" implying they're not sure whether she's as bad as she appears to be. This (to me) says abusive household with the siblings being turned against each other with the parents favouring one child over the other. "Those green alligators" could be referring to their parents who they'd wish "ate her" treated her like their parents treat them. 00:52, the chorus which talks about how if you just gave them time, they'd open up to you and they admit that they're not interesting. In their mind there's no reason for you to find them interesting which they acknowledge but they still cry out for your time. Saying "there's a part of me that's appealingly sweet, I'm sure you'd agree if you got to know me". If you'd just talk to me I'm sure we could get along quite well, I promise there's something good about me. "I'll let you have what's mine if you just give me your time". I've been quiet and reserved but if you come and talk to me I'll give you what has been kept to myself (their thoughts, ideas emotions, feelings) if you would come and talk to me. 01:10 "And there's a party today, it's not coming my way" everyone is going to a party and I'm not invited. "Should be needless to say that I need things to change", I can't survive like this anymore, I need to desperately be included in something, I'm feeling like I'm missing out. 01:17 "remember yesterday? I brought you flowers, you threw them away". Two interpretations, 1. They attempted to make friends with someone but they weren't interested. 2. They physically gave flowers to someone (perhaps a crush) and they threw them away showing no interest 01:27 "coffee and peppermint tea, brewing instructions engraved on leaves" coffee doesn't have leaves, perhaps this could be symbolism for the character, peppermint tea has leaves so it can be brewed (peppermint leaves, other humans, have the right instructions to be brewed into tea, other humans know how to interact and speak with each other. Coffee leaves on the other hand don't have the right materials to be brewed and even of they could be it wouldn't taste very good. They can't "brew" well with other people and don't even have the correct means to.) A completely wild interpretation for sure but it's and interesting one imo 01:34 "symbols that I can't read" even if they wanted to they could not understand how to "brew" 01:40 "seems it's all written in Chinese" it's so confusing it feels like it's written in a different language. Being social is not for me. "I could use some help translating these" I need help interacting with other people, I need to be social before I deteriorate but nobody has taught me how (abusive parents ?) 02:10 "I'm an unknown breed, unsprouted seed". Nobody knows who I am and I have a lot of wasted potential 02:12 "I'm a hot spring frozen over by your cold mentality". I could be so much more, I'm lively on the inside but my parents favouring my sister has made me unable to express any of it 02:19 "if it's grief you need, here, take my spleen" if you need me to show grief to explain how I am blatantly unhappy, take what you want from me, I will do anything to make people notice and care. "I am going to bleed all over the floor and more until you remember me". If you need me to grieve and watch as I metaphorically bleed out (crying ?) then please do if it makes you acknowledge me. 02:31 "but I'm through with hiding you're gonna think I'm crazy". I don't care if you find me crazy, I am hurting and I need help 02:34 "swallowing swords now, too bad I don't know how" I'm starting to do dangerous activities that could potentially ruin me 02:39 "I'm juggling knives now (Ow!) three fingers that cost me." I am really hurting myself, I am cutting myself. 02:44 "oh what have I done? A green luscious island". [Not part of the theory, my personal experience] I used to have a few friends who did s/h. It was very addictive to them and near impossible to get them to stop. They created [back to the theory] a safe haven for themselves where they were in control of what they were doing. They know this isn't going to help them but hurting themselves is getting addictive and they can't stop. 02:57 - 03:00 them talking about s/h and how they enjoy it, 04:04 them realising minor self harm isn't working anymore and creeping closer to suicide, "so I'll boost the danger times 2 or maybe 3" •"Just red paint babe, this ain't pretend" (they're bleeding, perhaps whoever they're speaking to is in denial about the singer's mental pain) •"I might lose me a leg or a head" (foreshadowing to the eventual suicide) "maybe you would believe me then" (maybe you would take my blatant cries for help seriously) •"Autumn leaves failed to break my fall" a great pun but could be an indication to when they commited suicide (around September - October). •"Sticks and stones don't care at all" they feel as if nobody cares about them anymore, suicide is a way to get people to care. •"Skin and bones decorate the walls" seemingly shot themself? Not entirely sure what this means *Character fades off screen* A clear indication to me that they died Their funeral is a party just for them ("finally a party just for me") and everyone is crying except ("in contrast to the those attending I'm quite happy"). "Your brain's hard drives just installed sympathy" they only felt bad for not giving them attention after they died. "Got in candy land, I paid the entrance fee" perhaps heaven; (candy land could be seen as a land of indulgence, the entrance fee was the hurting themselves for other's attention). 05:22, gravestone and flowers on said stone, self explanatory There's much more to talk about but I'm really tired lol

I feel like this song is about a child who is neglected, in some way shape, or form, and dies. Their spirit sees everyone at their funeral, morning them and disregarding the reason they're dead.

[@kuromisa_cosplay]

@robert downey junir this was before i listened to Gretle, and I forgot i made this!

[@theirsx3]

Having listened to this song and Gretel's song over 20 times, I realized that they are very obviously different. First, hansel craves attention to the point of killing himself, whereas Gretel probably dies at night by being stabbed, thus not causing a scene. Second, is more of a theory, hansel says " just red paint babe this ain't pretend. " and gretel says " with red gloves all you touch certainly will get marked up, i infact, in light of this, became your painting canvas. " which made me think of this scenario where gretel had a incident where she was painting with someone, had paint splashed or someone had just tried to mess her clothes up with red paint and hansel thought she was faking getting hurt FOR attention, and just before gretel said those lines she said " why would i enjoy this? no i'm not a masochist. " it feels like she's saying that directly at hansel ( also makes me believe he viewed the two of them as sadists / masochists. ) Thirdly, i think hansel had an active hatred for gretel because of the lines " i wish those green alligators had ate her " that and because of the theory that gretel's flower background was linked to him buying flowers that were thrown away, but what i'm more focused on is that gretel doesn't seem to have much against hansel, someone may say oh she said give a smother ( which means strangle / suffocate ) to my brother, but i think she kind of means to look after him when she's gone, which is another point, fourth, i personally believe that Gretel died first, which is because when she says it was time for her to fly away she mentions, like i said, giving a smother to hansel, and hansel says how i long for your arms again BUT a different alternative is that she meant that hansel died first which also links up, put this together, gretel song says give a smother to my brother when you see him okay, yea yea i said that 3 times now, but HANSEL, at the end of his song says it's too late to start caring about me. sorry if i made anyone sit through this entire ramble...

Listening on these 2 songs on repeat, I like to think that at the end the two admit that they do somewhat like each other. Gretel: “Sike! You’re probably going the other way, so give a smother to my brother when you see him.” “You’re going to hell for being shit to me, but you deserve to be smothered a bit like you always wanted.” Hansel: “I think I hate her, those green alligators I wish they had ate her!” To “How I long for your arms again…” And in the end when they both died, they got what they wanted, and made up. This is just a head cannon though to stop me from being sad for these 2 😭

This song reminds me of this Reddit post I saw Trigger warning: small mention child abuse. There was this kid in OP's class, he didn't have any friends so he would let kids hurt him so he would have people he could call friends. One day the teacher found out and chewed out the kids "friends" . The kid begged the teacher to not get them in trouble, because they were what he called friends. The teacher asked him to pull up his sleeves and revealed bloody whip marks, burns, bruises you name it all over his arms. He said that he was used to it and was happy about it. It was revealed later on that he was placed in a foster home after it was found out he was beaten at home for as long as he could remember

You know one thing I want to point out is how Hansel continues to sing even after fully disappearing unlike his sister how stopped as soon as she disappeared. Idk if that means anything but just interesting to me.

[@nebulablob113]

I love this song! The story is amazing- I’m not great at finding and explaining symbolism but here’s some small things I found that I haven’t seen pointed out: ‘I like bike riding, it’s oh so exiting!’ turns into ‘I like bike riding, it can be exiting’ subtly showing how depression can lower your interest in doing things you love The yellow teeth on the rat character shown might be related to not taking care of yourself, having no motivation to do even simple things like brushing your teeth The bruised eye on the character is likely related to his self-injury and his dangerous stunts, and was likely gained from one of these stunts ‘If there’s a party today, it’s not coming my way’ - once again showing how he barely gets any attention, and that this is generally expected for him at this point. This also likely has a literal meaning, as he probably wasn’t invited to many parties in real life either. I just wanted to point this out because he describes his own funeral as ‘finally, a party just for me’, so I thought that was neat. He sacrificed himself for attention and never regretted it, he even enjoyed his funeral and thought of it as a ‘party’ ‘Lower the bar cause I’m choking on stardust’ - the ‘lower the bar’ part may be showing how he was content on doing small, if still self-injurious, stunts for attention, but the people who watch him urge him to keep doing more and more dangerous things, ‘choking on stardust’ meaning that he was addicted to the popularity and didn’t want to give up the attention no matter what, even if it killed him. Most of the other stuff seems to already be explained in other comments, I’m not great at this so I just decided to poke at some small details

[@kramenisfalling]

[@honeybumblebee9274]

I really like this analysis! Another way the "Lower the bar 'cause I'm choking on stardust" could be a sort-of exaggeration, with him expressing that he has to go to such great lengths to get attention even though it's hurting him, which is kinda backed up by the next line; "becoming a carcass, though pain's rather tasty". It could be read as him beating himself down, although he's alright with that if it means getting attention. The second part could also be read as him being a masochist and just enjoying the pain of all his stunts.

"those green alligators, I wish they had ate her," sounds like a young kid misunderstanding/misremembering the phrase 'Crocodile tears'. Almost like the hate he feels for Gretel was taught to him by someone (dad likely) and he harrasses her just like everyone else because that's what he thinks is normal and acceptable, and he desperately wants to be accepted by ANYONE. Doing so he drives Gretel away. The only person who'd likely give him that attention and love he needs.

One thing I love about Hansel's character design is that he looks like a buffoon, he has a jester hat, and it looks normal, doesn't it? But he has a crown under it. He's *the king* of jesters. When he was alive, he was always trying to win everyone's attention around him, engaging in this absolutely ridiculous stunts full of danger, and for what the song makes it seem, people either ignore him or dismiss him with pity as he was some sort of clown, until he snaps. This is explicitly addressed in the last line of the song; "Now I've been appointed, as your new king, I decree, that it's too late to start caring about me!" He is owning his misery and wearing it like a crown. His death, an empowering act, a gesture of superiority over those who couldn't bother to help him; a punishment. Now that he's dead, he has finally placed himself above everyone else, he is the center of attention at last. He can say "I told you so", "all this could have been avoided, all I wanted was to talk", "I tried to show you but you didn't listen, now deal with it." There's something so cathartic about that.

[@galaxygalay0925]

[@emeraldandobsidian3395]

a story of one sibling getting attention, and the other, being basically left to rot not just by the parents but also by the 'village' sound. Doing all to try to get the smallest attention, resulting in a quote, "self-injury spree" resorting to swallowing blades, juggling sharp objects, playing with fire, bike riding(presumably doing unsafe actions while on the bike), cutting, etc. All things to try to get love and affection. “ How I long for your arms again”. until one day he falls off his bike, “Autumn leaves failed to break my fall. Sticks and stones didn't care at all” by the lyrics and the ones after this the fall or crash was fatel.” Skin and bones decorate the walls, Think that's everything I can recall '' possibly death by head injury. Saing “Finally, a party just for me” just showed that he made his dream come true, and with the only method he knew how. Saing “Like your brain's hard drives just installed sympathy, indicating that they only care about someone once they're dead. Saying that they quote “If ya cared that much, should've showed love 'fore I became a piece of meat.” and ending with, “All this could've been avoided, all I wanted was to talk.” This message, when understood right, or not understood at all is incredibly real, and hits too close to home for some like myself. Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'-The Band Perry “it’s not a phase mom please listen”, "Those humans... They're so stupid..", - Shinsei Kamattechan "Children have it better these days!" "Your to young for these feelings" "you don't know what it feels to be depressed!" "You kids fake everything For attention!"....These are the things adults say to kids,when will they realize that we're not just small things with no emotion? That we're not naive? That we're not blind and can't see everything around us? Why do they act like we're dumb? We see everything we understand everything. So many children are depressed no matter the age,so why do we get underestimated? What just because we haven't been on earth as much as you? Stop acting with that "cute" voice and fake smile. Stop keeping us in a box and making us hold in our problems in so then we burst out and kill our selves..so many children have. We can't say anything to you we're just objects or animals right? Stop acting as if you know better because clearly you don't. The wars,fights and all the violence? You made them. Your not better than use your worse.

[@sebastianmothelet8130]

Damn I wish I could like a comment more than once

[@sophisticatedPJs]

After listening to both songs it seems as though Gretel is most likely struggling with her own self destructive behaviors (probably an eating disorder with all the references to her low self image, food-related imagery through most of the song, and particularly the line "they made me eat ice") but when others didn't take her problems seriously and assumed she only did them for attention ("that big facial blister, her pity getting scheme") she began to lash out at Hansel and take it out on him, driving him to the events of this song. They both seem to have a similar message, actually! One is about receiving a constant stream of negative attention and one is about receiving no attention at all, both resulting in people who deeply resent eachother and feel as though no one sees them as a real person. Gretel is obsessed with validation and feels like she needs to perfect her image to receive it, and regurgitates the hatred she receives on a regular basis at Hansel, who only wants any kind of acknowledgement at all and feels the only way his existence will make a difference is through an act of self-violence. He doesn't feel like he has anyone to reach out to and is expected to keep his emotions to himself which only leads to a buildup of them. He has no healthy outlets so he develops a maladaptive coping mechanism, in this case, self harm. They're both destroying themselves for others and at the same time downplaying eachother which creates a toxic cycle which only ends when.. well. yeah.
