The anxiety, the depression, the fear everything about this song is so familiar. It hits really close to home and perfectly sums up how I’ve been feeling inside for most of my teenage years ever since I found out I’m gay (I live in the Middle East, it’s a lot more dangerous to be gay here than in the west). This is my favorite song in the entire musical. Still, there’s a reason why these shows are great! (The version I mentioned is really good for a starter)Īlso watch like literally everything else cause you are doing yourself is disfavor by not watching these old but gold of musical theatre! Of course, the older ones such as Oklahoma! (1940s) will be quite different (slower in pace and more Broadway glitzy) and kinda concerning to a modern viewer (though that would be most of the world back then). It’s really good! I mean so good you should watch it. There is good reason why I mentioned Company (written by Stephen Sondheim) four times. The Dog Song from “Sunday in the Park With George” (technically, though more so a movie musical) No Pressure from “Encanto” (maybe? partially?) When He Sees Me from “Waitress” The Ladies Who Lunch also also from Companyīeing Alive also also a l s o from “Company” Side by Side by Side also from “Company” (or in the version with Raul Esparza, Side by Side by Side and What Would We Do Without You?) if they were people she looked up to, and they all killed themselves, what does that mean for her? is she next? she's thinking about it, because she feels like there's no hope for her if there was no hope for them.Īnd when the captain points at her, telling her she's the weakest, the next one to go, it's her own self-doubt and hatred, and her terrible peers too, confirming her worst fears for her. she knows she can never be more put-together than they were. They weren't the strongest, and now she worries, because she knows she can never be stronger than they were. She mentions that heather chandler appeared to be so put-together, and then she "killed herself," and that worries her, because she thought heather was so much stronger and better off than her and turned out that wasn't true. she's in this boat, full of people she knows (duh), and slowly they're dropping off, dying, the weakest are disappearing and she's scared because she thought they were the strongest. When i hear "the tiniest lifeboat, full of people i know," i think of like. She worries she'll be the next person to go, to be tipped over the edge, and she's terrified of it. I interpreted this song as just her talking about, like, the people around her are dying and getting hurt, and she feels powerless to stop it. i like everyone else's interpretations though! The lyrics can frequently be found in the comments below or by filtering for lyric videos.Ĭompared to everyone else's interpretations i feel real dumb abt mine lol, i think i was too literal.
