Imagine being one of her bullies & seeing how far she got-

why is nobody talking about how she was on fire for the whole song. someone get the poor girl a bucket of water

This song deserves a music video..

Melanie taught me to dress however I want and not care ab what other people think

she finally released it. who remembers when u couldn’t find it nowhere

Just imagine her voice echoing through a room while she’s singing this

This is quite literally fire.

Melanie was the one who taught me to dress however the fuck I want, and to not care about pointed stares and whispers. ♥

I rlly hate when people say playdate made her famous she was successful before then

u can just tell everyone is singing along to a song that was only just released

melanie hasn't got a single bad song omg.....

“I am not the government I am not the fucked up men I am not a part of anything that is hateful Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore” 🔥

“I’m bad at public speaking” I felt that

"They say: _Why do you dress that way? Why do you act that way? Why aren't you just like me?_ So is that what you really wanna say to me? Are you playing games with me?"

Why did the lines "would you give your mum a hug before your house burned away" hit so hard-

It must be one of the most touching and human songs Melanie has ever written. No swearing, just talking about true feelings and how awful bullying is. Seems like she's feeling not just for victims of bullying but also for bullies themselves because only deeply heartbroken person can sink low enough to start hurting others. She understands that her resentment won't put an end to violence so she's choosing to forgive her bullies and focus on taking care of herself and others, on spreading love.

Fire drill: Who are you? Bombs on Monday: You, but sadder.

Fun fact: this was supposed to be song for the original ending in k-12, Mel wanted Cry baby to set the school on fire but the director said she had a budget so they stuck with putting true school in a bubble and having it float away

3:00 her voice changes to portals. . LORE

"Really, i'm trying to live my own life too" So relatable..

Imagine having this as ur fav song from melanie and it wasn't even officially released

let's be honest, we all waited for this

Melanie has gotten me through so much, I've been bullied, insecure, and oversensitive, and she just gave me so much joy. whenever I'm sad or upset I just put on a melanie martinez song and use it to calm down. This is one of the best ones. She helped me get through all my insecurities, including one about a gap in my teeth, which I love now because it makes me think of her, and helped me to ignore the bullies. Thank you so much Melanie 😊❤

"If my house catches on fire I'm gonna start blasting fire drill" -My bestie 2023

The way she makes such a sad, aggressive and depressing song so cute is such a skill... what a legend.

It’s crazy to think that I’ve been listening to her when she only had carousel and dollhouse out

As an autistic kid, who was raised by very weird, if not bad people, who constantly question authority, and always do what we want, this, this hit me. I never fit in. No one liked the weird kid who caused problems. I didn't understand what I was doing wrong. But despite that, I always had a good heart, trying to see the best in the people around me, despite the constant bullying, always open to forgiving if they asked. I have always been bullied, more so in middle school and before. But despite my forgiveness, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if hurt them back. I could think of a dozen ways to, without getting caught. But I didn't, because despite it all, I didn't want to hurt others, wether they deserved it or not. .

As a person who is a big target of bullying, this song is such a comfort for me. And this song is overall epic. But honestly if YOU bully ppl (for not good reasons, I mean you shouldn’t bully anyone but IF you have a good reason it doesn’t count) you don’t deserve to listen to Melanie. So that’s just a reminder that she does NOT condone bullying as this song means not bullying OR even bullying people back.

going at the end of the film to listen to fire drill was a mood. things that only crybabies can relate to ♡︎

I think that everyone need to know Melanie Martinez in this world, she’s right in all

Does anyone ever feel empty and nostalgic when hearing this song, since it was the end credits and every time k-12 ends i just always wanna see more 😭

I love how Melanie is starting to become more personal with her music (i.e singing from her perspective rather than Crybaby).

The fact that she didn’t promote this at all,and she’s still promoting the BLM movement make me respect her more💕✨

This song defines so much the time we live in, people seeing other's suffers and just posting about it or making fun of the person. Melanie always knows very well what she's talking about and it makes me proud of being a fan of her.

This song is so angelic😍 2024 anyone?

She needs more appreciation beyond play-date. and this song shows exactly why.

melanie: pulls out fire drill cry babies: *pretends to be shocked*

I wish this had a music video.. this song is definitely one of my favorites.

As a veteran i can verfiy that all her songs are masterpieces

this women is a GODDESS she don't need autotune it needs here

She deserves more, she gave her movie for free on youtube

I don't and never will understand why some people REALLY hate this song and call it 'overrated' This is one of my favourite melanie songs and it will stay like that!!

I love how Melanie uses toy instruments in her songs everytime! Her voice and style of songwriting really stand out! If I have this kinda vocal in my music production, that would be a dream come true lol

I can listen to this song all day without getting bored.

I get bullied constantly in school. They question everything about me. I’m the most hated kid. And I relate to this song SO much. They thing THEYRE cool, when they’re making fools of themselves. Who ever just read this, have a good day/night

"PlayDate is the underated song" Fire Drill: "Am I a joke to everyone?"

I love that she’s actually recording and releasing her lesser known songs (like, the ones that you’ll only find with bad audio quality or unofficially posted cause she never actually recorded them) it makes me really happy. I hope she records songs like a million men, dear porcupine or where do babies come from cause I love those songs, although I have a feeling those songs will never be officially recorded :( (I also hope she officially releases I scream because although I think the audio I’ve found for the song is official it just doesn’t seem like she has officially released it on her channel or anything)

I’ve been here since Crybaby and I really connect with some of her songs so no wonder she’s my fav artist

That "shut up!" in the background at 2:03 always makes me giggle.

People: thinks that everyone who listings to melani cry’s all the time All her fans:*getting lit and never bored of her music*

Not only can she sing like no one else, but each of her songs have an actual message. Gotta love her!

underrated my fav song 🩷

the 'shut up' after "i am bad at public speaking, but i am speaking now so hear me out" hits different for me :)

Everyone’s talking about how this should’ve been the end, wouldn’t it be sick if the music video WAS the alternate ending to K-12????!!

she literally never has a bad song like ALL of her songs are so good

I'm glad to see that fire drill has already reached 1M likes ♡

this song should’ve got a mv 😩

Fun fact: fire drill is sampled from a traditional juvenile jingle “Do Your Ears Hang Low?”

If I had a penny for every kid that pulled the fire alarm when there wasn’t really a fire...

Melanie makes me feel much better in any way unlike many other artists she teaches so much

Love that this will be my kids first concert in May. She got me thru some hard times in a divorce after a 30 year relationship and so happy her music helps my child have the same healthy balance as she starts puberty. Please keep the rawness and honesty coming in such a positive productive way!

Anyone realize that Melanie can basically pull off a whole horror movie with pastel colors 😳😅

Only artist who can bring back songs and get more love the second time.

Anyone else listening to all of Melanie’s old songs before listening to Portals for the first time??? Tbh I haven’t listened to Portals yet cuz I felt a bit disconnected with her music lately but decided to give it a listen, but first I’m refreshing my memories of her older songs so I can get used to it :)

stream fire drill 💗🌷

i can’t imagine being a toxic fan of melanies that is spiteful towards new followers when she said that was never the point of making her music your actions literally contradict this specific song and what melanie stands for. wtf is wrong with y’all

... and the best thing about Melaine is how true she remained to herself, her music & style.

I feel like this song is actually about her and people online. How people will shit talk her and create a bad situation for her to deal with, and she proceeds to explain how the people that think badly of her simply don't understand her, some people don't get out enough to understand others that well, and she goes on to say we need to focus on life and our loved ones

i immediately think of this when i have a fire drill at school

Remember when everyone kept leaking this and it would always get deleted cause of copyright? 😂

i bet all of her bullies now listen to her and now are like “damn”.

I seriously can’t believe I’ve always liked her much since I was like 7 watching animatics or gmvs with her voice. I guess I was always a fan but never knew ❤

This brings a good idea of whats happening irl. In the nuke part, when she asks "would you say goodbye or would you post abt it" is true. People keep posting about stuff, instead of helping and focusing. They just see something and see it as a likeworthy post.

I don't know why, but the "I'm getting out of here" is so satisfying

She’s the only person who can make a horror film out of pastel colors

This song always hit the right heart aching spot

"Crying inside 'Cause nothing I say ever comes out right" has some SOAP vibes

She is epic. Her voice is angelic, She's pretty, She's amazing

Y’all realize this means After School is coming soon right?

I just started getting back into listening to her and I’m so happy I did. I went to one of her concerts in 5th grade when only crybaby was out and I’m happy I’ve managed to stay a fan for so long!

Best song fr

Melanie: lets release songs at the most unexpected times

Melanie was like “im just going to put this here, have fun queers” 😂

I am still one hundred percent convinced that at the end of K through 12 the f****** school was supposed to burn down that this was the end credits song 100%

I’m sad that this wasn’t in the movie just the end credits. What if the movie ended with the school burning down and it still could’ve lead to portals because she could have died in the fire

I hated when a lot of people skipped the credits of the movie losing this masterpiece

Does anyone else get that tingly feeling when it says “fire drill” like it’s so smooth 😌

I can relate to this song in a few ways. I’ve never acted like the “cool” kids at my school (funny thing is they pulled the fire alarm in PE class)-I always felt left out in break or classes if none of my friends were there. It always felt like they were trying to stay away from me as much as they could. I am pretty good at my classes though, so the only time they care about me is if they see an opportunity to copy me. They were always acting really fake and rude and chaotic, but I never really hated them. Tysm Melanie for this song!

Reasons i love melanie martinez: 1.shes kind 2.she makes relatable songs 3.her hair is BEAUTIFUL 4.she is my FAV SONG ARTIST/SINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's act like we did not know all the lyrics as soon as we started to hear it

Lyrics: I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast Since I was in Sunday school and all the cool kids said I was weird It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way? Why do you act that way? Why don't you dress like me?" So is that what you really wanna say to me? You're playing games with me Telling me if I'm unkind, still you abandon me Calling me words I'm not, painting a picture that's false You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much Living in the fake world, full of facades and chaotic behaviour You pull the lever for fun, yell, "Fire!", then you just run Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills, I wish the best for you And you think I ignore you too, but Really, I'm tryna live my own life And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to Crying inside 'Cause nothing I say ever comes out right We're on the same side If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide I'm bad at public speaking But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up) I personally believe that everyone is fully capable Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullying All of the screwin' around with people They don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah) Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet All 'cause you were bored one day Losing your wits and your grace Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills, I wish the best for you And you think I ignore you too, but Really, I'm tryna live my own life And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to I am not the government I am not the fucked up men I am not a part of anything that is hateful Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore Even for people who hurt and betray me (Okay) I am not the government I am not the fucked up men (Gross) I am not a part of anything that is hateful Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore Even for people who hurt and betray me Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills, I wish the best for you And you think I ignore you too, but Really I'm tryna live my own life And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to I'm getting out of here

She hasn't written a bad song in her entire life

Pity party: who are you? Fire drill: im you but more sad.

''im not the goverment.'' A SECOND AGO I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IM NOT A PEPPERMINT HELP-

only the ones that see the whole movie with credits know this song

imagine not knowing every single word to this already

3:02 This part makes me cry a lot. I’m on a journey of self improvement and healing and it just speaks to me. I used to be so angry and bitter by the way I was treated by people when I was a child/teenager, but I’m unlearning all the nasty things they told me and trying to move on from the past and realise those people were probably hurting too.

The year is 2023 and I'm still listening to this one💙

"and all the cool kids thought I was weird." my life in a nutshell-

Melanie is by far the most unique artist, and that’s what I love about her.
