"Chalkboard" is the third song by Melanie Martinez on her fourth studio album, Gummies.


Theme[]

This song is about how Sophia is grappling with the whole Dad-tried-to-poison-me situation. Spoiler alert: she's not grappling very well. She was so traumatized by the incident that she refuses to eat any candy, which she used to love. Her mother, Cry Baby, also appears to be plotting something.

Lyrics[]

There's a lot of things she told me she wishes she was, oh-oh



She wishes she was stronger, stronger, braver



She wishes she could be somebody's saviour



Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, mmh



She wishes that she was shorter, oh-oh-oh, mmh



But probably most importantly



She wishes her handwriting wasn't back, backward and forward



She wishes she could write like the teacher on the chalkboard, chalkboard



But who knows what that teacher is going through, oh-oh



Maybe her father tried, tried to



Tried to poison her too, oh-oh-ohhh



You shouldn't hurt people, they might be hurt already



Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, mmh



As I watch as my poor daughter throws away the candy I bought her



Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, mmh



But sti-i-i-i-i-i-i-ill



She wishes her handwriting wasn't back, backward and forward



She also wishes she could forget some memories



Memories of tragedies and horrors



She wishes she could write like the teacher on the chalkboard, chalkboard



There's a lot of things she told me she wishes she was, oh-oh



She wishes she was stronger, stronger, braver...



But probably most importantly



She wishes her handwriting wasn't back, backward and forward



She also wishes she could forget some memories



Memories of tragedies and horrors



She wishes she could write like the teacher on the chalkboard, chalkboard



Mommy's writing something on the chalkboard, oh-oh



Mommy's writing something on the chalkboard, oh-oh, mmh
